Gong should not be donated in vain, which means that all the merits and efforts in the world will not be in vain, and will definitely be rewarded. From the Buddhist saying, good fortune does not come in vain.

Speaking of contributions, I really liked it when I saw it for the first time, so I signed it as a WeChat signature. Old Tang, who was still my boyfriend at the time, came over nervously and asked, "Are you unhappy recently? Did I make you angry?" A certain classmate thought that this idiom had his last name and was related to him, so he laughed at me for a long time.

I thought of this topic on January 1, 2017 because I joined three 100-day groups as early as possible. The first one was the 100-day original reading group that started on December 10. I was honored to be selected. The group leader, in addition to reading by himself, also takes on the responsibilities of "supervision" and "cheerleader". He has persisted for 22 days and has read the second original English book. The second group is a group I want to write to you. The first week has just ended. The idea of ??joining is very simple. The input of these one hundred days must be found somewhere to be output in order to maximize the effect of the input. The third group is the 100-day painting group that will start on January 3rd and will start learning simple drawings.

These persistences seem to have no direct relationship with work, promotion and salary increase, or making money. Colleagues, relatives and friends around me will ask, what is the meaning of this and is it useful? Hello "petty bourgeoisie". These days, petty bourgeoisie is not a complimentary term.

Although there are only a few supporters who agree with it, my life and work experience in the past many years tell me that at some point in the future, these efforts will not be in vain.

In the past few years, I have left behind Zhu Tianwen, Huang Yongyu, and Li Ling that I once loved. My desk is filled with various reference books on how to lead subordinates, how to manage up, and how to operate and manage. , marketing, human resources, constantly supplementing all kinds of knowledge that is immediately available in the workplace, and I feel more and more boring. Although these have only helped me solve some problems in the short term, my calmness has become less and less and my anxiety has increased. One day, I suddenly realized that I have read so many reference books and made so many plans. In the end, what really led me to career advancement was the work content that I once resisted, but now it has become my unique advantage. Back then, I never expected this day.

From then on, I said to myself, being more calm is not a waste of time. Everything you walk through will leave traces, and everything you work hard will have an impact.

Let’s look at an article published by Mr. Hu Shi in the Independent Review at that time. The name is "Gong Dong Donation". Every sentence and every opinion written in 1932 is not outdated. Looking at it today in 2017, although the background of the times is different, it seems to be written specifically for us in this era, so as to encourage ourselves, *** encourage:

"We are living in this era What we see and hear can often make us pessimistic and disappointing—sometimes it can make us sad or crazy. This is the time when we need to cultivate our faith. We really don’t have faith. We are about to go crazy and commit suicide. There is only one sentence for our confidence - no contribution will be in vain, all efforts will not be in vain, and no effort will be fruitless.
