Can a stable life and stable job really bring us joy and happiness?

"Life is a mystery, and its value lies in exploration, because the only nourishment of life is adventure." ?

—— Stone

Stable life , this concept sounds wonderful. Find a stable job, have a stable lover, stable income - everything in life seems stable. The days passed by repeatedly without any disturbance, and I was at peace with the world.

However, do those who choose a stable life really live a happy life? Is working 9 to 5 every day and following the rules really what your heart longs for? Are you surrendering to life to make money to support your family, or do you really love this kind of life?

One moment TALKS once gave a speech "Why an adventurous life is more worth looking forward to"

The speaker's name is Shao Jingzhu, and people who like her call her Zhuzi, a Beijing girl. Now 32 years old, she graduated from the School of Journalism and Communication of Wuhan University.

She wears many hats - director, vlogger, photographer, and self-media person. Her job has no boss, no office, and no fixed office hours, but she has already achieved financial freedom and time freedom.

As the host of Vice China, he hosted the large-scale documentary "Future Home" to discuss the future human lifestyle with people from all over the world. And became one of the first batch of Vloggers in China, with more than 4 million fans on various platforms.

After graduation, she did not go to TV stations or radio stations like her classmates and live a nine-to-five life. She said: "I know that is not suitable for me."

After graduation, she spent every day on YouTube, taught herself editing and photography, managed her own network, and obtained a master's degree from the University of Manchester.

I have lived in the UK for eight years, founded a wedding company, and photographed hundreds of weddings in London of different races, cultures, religions and skin colors around the world.

Three years old is her best age - doing what she likes, not limited by time and place, living a prosperous life, and having a warm home in her favorite alley. Home. She lived a life that everyone longed for.

“As long as you live more freely, your content will be better-looking, the more viewers you will have, and your finances will be freer.”? —— Shao Jingzhu

Freedom is a state that everyone longs for. Bamboo's adventurous spirit of breaking the rules helped her achieve freedom.

However, many people give up the right to take risks early and are carried away by life. The poetry and distance in their hearts eventually lose to the comfort of the present. They live in the shell of life and cannot obtain true freedom.

The life I imagined at the beginning turned into survival.

Wang Anshi said in "A Journey to Bao Chan Mountain":

"The wonders, weirdness, and extraordinary sights of the world often lie in the dangers and distances that are rarely visited by people. , so only those who are determined cannot achieve it. ”

Those roads that others say are the best have been taken by others, and you should find your own way.

You only live once. , it’s gone once it’s over, why not give yourself a chance to take risks, do the things you really want to do, and see a different kind of scenery?

“What others want to do may not necessarily be what I want to do, and the mainstream values ????believed by others may not necessarily be what I want to believe in.”

? —— Shao Jingzhu< /p>

From childhood to adulthood, our lives are always accompanied by the guidance of others. Whether you choose a job, choose a partner, choose to buy a car or a house, or choose your place of work, whether you go to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou or the 23rd line, there are always people. I'll give you some "advice" on the side.

"The competition in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou is so fierce, it’s so hard! And who knows when I will get ahead. "The rent you pay in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou is enough for you to buy an apartment back home."

< p> If you choose to go to a 23rd-tier city, someone else said: "Young people just want to go to big cities to have a try. If they want to be comfortable now, they will regret it when they get old. ”

When applying for college majors, some people said, “It’s good to study medicine. It will be stable in the future, and the social status of doctors is also good. It is an iron rice bowl, which is very good for a girl.” ”

But after I got to college, looking at the obscure professional terminology and the anatomical diagrams of various organs and tissues, I always had the urge to escape from the classroom.

Look, no matter No matter what you do, there will be people who analyze the pros and cons for you in the name of goodwill and as people who have experienced it. It seems that what they say is the best option for your life.

However, our life is up to us. From experience, only we know what we want.

Life is an unknown journey. What you will encounter, what kind of scenery you can see, your harvest and ending can only be known by walking in the direction you want to go.

Everyone needs a little adventurous spirit in life, to do what you want to do, not what others or the environment forces you to do.

If you define your life prematurely, then what’s the point of seeing it end at a glance?

Others’ advice is often derived from their own experiences and may not apply to you. After all, other people's lives may not be the life you want.

“The essence of work is to sell one’s time. And building a better personal business model is to forge a way for one to sell one’s time.” ?

“As early as possible Once you find your business value, you can get closer to financial freedom and time freedom as soon as possible, and obtaining these two kinds of freedom requires a certain spirit of adventure.”

The so-called risk-taking does not mean being reckless. direction. Ask yourself carefully, what is suitable for you, what do you really like?

People will only gain true happiness when they do what they like.

After finding the direction, give yourself a goal. With a goal, you will have the awareness to look for opportunities, and your eyes will be more focused on relevant information, and the greater your chance of success.

When they were young, everyone had a dream of traveling across the world with a sword, but some dreams were crushed into pieces by time.

Some people were hammered a few times by life midway, so they stopped moving forward and retreated; some people encountered darkness while walking and lost the courage to look for light.

Life gives us the opportunity to find the key to the light from the darkness, but if we don’t have the courage to find the key, how can we step into that door? If you don't dare to risk finding your way in the dark, how can you find the path that leads directly to your goal?

The premise of the saying "Failure is the mother of success" is that after failure, you can sum up your experience, think about strategies, and prepare for the next review.

"There is no such thing as a stable thing in the world"

No matter what kind of life there is, there is uncertainty. The so-called "stability" is mostly a conclusion drawn by people who have not experienced it in depth.

If you listen to the words of "stability", you will no longer explore more wonderful places in the world, and in the end you will just repeat the path that others have taken.

In this case, why not take the initiative and bravely do what you really want to do?

"Before Jack Ma started his own business, he was an English teacher at Hangzhou Institute of Electronic Technology - a profession generally described as "stable" by society. But later He resolutely gave up his iron job and founded "Alibaba". He experienced various difficulties and obstacles on the way to starting his business.

Today, Taobao's Double Eleven sales exceed 10 billion in one minute and 100 billion in one hour. The turnover has amazed so many people and been beyond the reach of many companies."

Just imagine, if he had maintained a stable career as a "teacher" for his whole life, there would be no Alibaba legend in China today. There is also a representative enterprise and business model missing. It is precisely because he dared to do what others dared not do, dared to step out of the norm, and dared to take risks that he created the legend he is today.

May you and I both have a soul that dares to take risks, and do things that we feel are worthwhile for the life we ??want.
