It’s not scary to have thousands of people blocking you. What’s scary is surrendering on your own.

It’s not scary to be blocked by thousands of people, but to surrender yourself

I know a girl who graduated from high school She went out to work, and the boss lady of the company she worked for did the finances herself. The girl was working as a clerk, dealing with some unskilled trivial matters every day. After two years, she suddenly realized that she couldn't go on like this. So I made up my mind to have my own skills, and then started preparing for the accounting certificate exam.

As the exam was approaching, the girl was not fully prepared, so she brought the book to the office, thinking that she could take a look at it after lunch.

Unexpectedly, when the boss lady found out, she said: "You are going to take the accounting certificate exam. It is not that easy..." When another female colleague found out, she also sarcastically said: "You can also take the exam if you study by yourself like this. If you pass, then the educational institution should close down.”

Fortunately, the girl not only passed the exam, but also passed it with high scores and successfully obtained the certificate.

Later, she began to help the boss’s wife with financial work, and her position in the company changed from “clerk” to “finance”.

She told me proudly: "I finally got over it. I remember that I often reviewed until two in the morning just to give myself a chance."

Now, the girl Still continuing to read and review. She planned to take the college entrance examination first and then the undergraduate degree. She said: "I want to make myself better."

Facing those who look down on you, working hard is the best counterattack. Even if the whole world doubts you, denies you, and recognizes your inability, as long as you don’t admit defeat, maybe one day you can give them a slap in the face with success.

Fellow brother Liu, in his forties, started his own business three times, all of which ended in failure. Whether it was running a restaurant, selling wine or publishing a gourmet magazine, every time it closed within half a year. But after every failure, he would go back to work and start over again when he had saved enough money.

When Brother Liu was preparing to start his own business for the fourth time, everyone advised him to stop messing around. "You see how many companies go bankrupt within a few days. Even for the sake of your wife and children, you have to be calm." "Some people who were waiting to see the joke said behind their backs: "This fool just wants to die because he has so much money."

Brother Liu was not upset when he found out, he just said: I want to do it again. Give it a try.

He rented a small office of less than fifty square meters, hired two food editors and a photographer, and started a local food public account. Although many public accounts about food were already very mature at that time, he used the resources accumulated in the past to cooperate with some chefs and restaurants to quickly achieve the platform's exposure.

In less than five months, his official account has accumulated hundreds of thousands of fans. By the sixth month, Brother Liu accepted his first advertisement, worth 30,000 yuan. From then on, he received more and more advertisements and made more and more money.

One year later, Brother Liu said proudly: "This time, I finally don't have to go back to work for others."

"Wolf Warrior 2" was a great success. I remembered that Wu Jing had mentioned "Wolf Warrior" in a TV show before and said: After six years of preparation, it has finally started filming. Yes, I am the producer, I wrote, directed and acted, but until the moment the filming was completed, many people were not optimistic about it.

"Xiao Wu, don't do it, really don't do it, you will pay compensation, no one wants to see it, don't be stupid."

Wu Jing said: I will never do it all my life. If I can't stick to my dreams for once, it seems that no matter how smart I am, life will be meaningless.

He persisted and succeeded in the end. Not only were his movies watched, they also set Chinese box office records.

Yeah, it wasn’t until I was in my twenties that I began to understand the phrase “follow your heart.” The choice of life is actually always in your own hands. No one can make decisions about your life for you. When you want to follow a path, as long as you think clearly and are determined enough, no one can stop you.

May you go to the end of the world with your sword, have a dream to rely on, and always be firm.
