The revelation of a blank sheet of paper

If you were given a blank piece of paper, what kind of face would you draw on it?

Is it the spring field where the sun is shining and the flowers are blooming, or is it a gray sky with heavy fog and thunder and lightning? On the bank of the Pearl River, the Canton Tower is known as the tallest and largest observation deck in the world.

No matter what kind of picture you are going to create on this white paper, you will definitely be a little overwhelmed when you first face it!

There is such a story: There is a young man who was born in a very poor area. He is the youngest of three children in the family, so in many ways, he is also the luckiest. His parents raised them with hard work and allowed him to go to college. He cherished this hard-won opportunity and worked very hard in college. After graduating from college, he happily applied for a certain company, but failed. He applied again to several companies, but no one was willing to hire him. Misfortune never comes singly. At this moment, his friends also left him one by one. He was completely desperate. Thinking of the situation at home, he was in agony. He thought of committing suicide many times, but he was unable to do so due to his low level of suicide.

It turns out that dying is not easy, and he finally calmed down. But the pain and confusion still accompanied him. After a few days, he decided to visit an old gentleman who was quite famous at the time.

When we arrived at the old gentleman’s villa, we didn’t see the old man. After asking people around me, I found out that he had gone out to do some errands and might not be back until two days later. So he stayed in a relatively cheap hotel. After waiting for two days, the old gentleman came back. As soon as he saw the old gentleman, he couldn't wait to tell the old man his experience of being unappreciated. He very much hoped to get some mental help or support from the old gentleman. Spiritual comfort.

However, the result was not what he imagined. After hearing this, the old gentleman just smiled, and then suggested that he travel somewhere else for a while before coming back. When he said goodbye, he also gave him a piece of white roll paper with good quality and told him what kind of map it was. The young man was a little confused, but he took the map and went home without asking any questions.

A few days later, before packing his bags to set off, he opened the map to see where the old gentleman wanted him to go. But when the so-called map was opened, he was shocked. What appeared in front of him was a blank piece of paper. This is not a map at all! He felt even more confused and didn't understand why the respectable old gentleman wanted to lie to him.

Early the next morning, he came to the old gentleman's courtyard again. This time he saw the old gentleman quickly, and seemed to be waiting for his arrival. He handed the blank paper to the old gentleman, with a puzzled look on his face.

The old gentleman put the white paper on the table and said to him: "I know you will come again. I gave this white paper to you on purpose. I saw you were still immersed in it that day. In the shadow of failure, I said nothing."

The old gentleman poured him a cup of tea and continued: "When I was your age, I was once depressed. Like a lost lamb, I also asked others for advice on the path of life. How to go. But later I discovered that others can't really help you. The only person who can save you is yourself. If you want to reach the pyramid of life, there is no absolute shortcut or map. You have just graduated from college. It's not enough, failure is only temporary. Just like this blank piece of paper, even if you want to decide your destination, you don't know where the road is or where you are. But if you think about it from another perspective, it's just because it is a destination. With a blank sheet of paper, you can paint whatever you want. Everything is free for you, and there are infinite possibilities in front of you. Please remember what I said, it all depends on you! ”

< p>After listening to the old gentleman's heartfelt words, the young man suddenly became enlightened, as if the thinking channel of his brain had been blocked for a long time, and it was only at this moment that it was cleared. When parting, the young man asked the old gentleman to give him the blank paper, and he wanted to keep it as a treasure forever. Since then, he is no longer afraid of failure. He often looks for various opportunities to work harder to improve himself, and gradually becomes more confident. Because he often thought of the inspiration given to him by that piece of white paper. After several years of down-to-earth and unremitting efforts, he finally found his way to a smooth career.

Life is like a blank piece of paper, just like what is said in the above story: each of us is the creator of that blank piece of paper, and everything depends on ourselves.
