A person who has been drifting in Beijing for five years will tell you why you have to work hard in your twenties

Forgot where I saved it from.

--------------The following is what I saved--------------------------- ------

On National Day this year, while eating hot pot, a man next to me was frothing at the mouth and boasting, "I never went to college, I have a junior high school diploma. When people asked me which school I graduated from, I said I went to Tsinghua University - this is not a lie, I went to Tsinghua University

...I sold my wife, and my wife has to count the money for me..." Mixed with countless dirty words, He spits everywhere, takes off his shirt when he gets excited, gets naked in public, and brags proudly. I think this is the worst time that Tsinghua University has been hacked...

⊙ω⊙

Why do so many people prefer to suffer as a North drifter rather than return to their hometown and county? People stay away!

There are no profitable enterprises in our county, and many people’s professions have no use here. Favor is paramount. Even if the second-generation official relies on his family to act in front of the county party secretary, he can still rely on a position to come back and work in a public institution until death.

Ten years ago, I made a mistake after graduation. I didn’t get a degree certificate from the university, and my graduation certificate was not issued. Instead, I was given a certificate of graduation and applied for a sales job in a company. I worked very hard and worked hard every morning. I went out to sell two extremely heavy pieces of equipment, but because I concealed the fact that I didn’t have a degree certificate when I applied for the job, and because I just entered the society and lacked experience, I was very unfamiliar. On December 31 of that year, I was hired by that company. Fired from the company.

The road back was twists and turns. I sat on the leaky bus for more than an hour before I got home. I felt so depressed and felt like there was nothing I could do.

Even ten years ago, rent in Beijing was very expensive. At that time, because of poverty, the rented rooms did not even have windows. Cold winters and hot summers were standard. That night, there was a rat riot, and the landlord aunt I was given a board to stick mice on. When I got up on the morning of New Year’s Day, I saw that there was a nest of newborn mice glued on, just as big as my little finger. The board glued the mice tightly, and the mice kept rolling around. He struggled, but all his fur came off, and his flesh and blood were all mixed up.

It was snowing heavily that day. In the morning, I put on a pullover and threw the little mice that struggled to peel off their skin into the trash can. The little mice had not completely died and could not move due to the heat. Suddenly I felt that I was very similar to this litter of newborn mice. They had just entered society but could not see any hope. My nose felt sore and tears rolled down my face. The passers-by around me stopped and looked at me.

While I was crying, I thought about many things, said many harsh words, and swore many vicious oaths. But the reality is still cruel. I stayed in my little dark room for three full months before I found a job. It was really difficult to find that job. I later called the company's front desk one by one and asked for an interview with the human resources department. Most of the time, there is no news. Later, I finally found a company, a state-owned enterprise restructured. Because I didn’t have a degree, it took two months of work and manpower. In the end, I repeatedly called the department manager and asked for a chance, and they decided to hire me.

For me at that time, this was really a life-saving straw, because before, my life path was extremely smooth and I had never been in a desperate situation. However, after graduation, I felt that after more than ten years of hard work, I had no hope of success. It flowed eastward.

I suddenly became the most diligent person in that company. At that time, the company went to work at nine o'clock. I arrived at the company at eight o'clock every morning and started making the first call on time at eight thirty, because at that time I I am responsible for railway system sales. I find that it is easiest for customers to make calls between 8:30 and 9:00. I am often the last one to leave the company because I have to call customers in Tibet and Xinjiang. There is a two-hour time difference between them and us. I have to take advantage of the relaxed mood after get off work to try my luck and see if they want to buy equipment.

But my talent was still very poor. At that time, I didn’t even have the talent to chat with people. When I first joined the company, I happened to catch up with the department building, and I was assigned to a girl who joined the company together. When we got to the department manager's car, we were talking and laughing all the way, but I didn't say a word - I didn't know how to interrupt, and I didn't dare to say anything, for fear that if I said the wrong thing, people would hate me. At that time, I was really envious and jealous of that girl. I thought that chatting with people was a very awesome talent, but she didn't have it like me.

The trial period was also very difficult, and other people who joined the company passed smoothly. The assessment for me was to introduce the product. I wrote the product introduction plan on the first day and memorized it by heart. When he was speaking, he was mumbling and couldn't even form a complete sentence. The department manager looked at the vice president of the department in confusion: Do you want him?

The person who kept me was the vice president of the department, who appreciated my diligence. We are still good friends to this day. Although I have undergone earth-shaking changes, he has been kind to me and I always call him Master when I see him. I also have contact with the female manager of the department. Every year I send her a special greeting text message, and she will reply me seriously, but we have never met again.

The real turning point in that company was two things. The first thing was that when I was cleaning, I found the notes of all the sales people who had left the company before. At that time, computers were not very popular for taking things. , these less successful seniors have written down their long-term work in their notebooks, because they are all losers with no performance, so no one in the department is interested in sorting out their customers. I compiled all the above content on my computer, and then called anyone who had a phone number. If there was no phone number with a company name, I checked 114 or found it again on the Internet. The speed was extremely fast, and everything was sorted out in two weeks. , In this way, I grabbed a large number of customers, and it was this group of customers that later became successful.

The second thing is an eccentric customer, an old railway man, from the southern province. He has a very impatient and a bit strange personality. Every time I call him, I tremble to have a chat with him. If I ask him if he needs to buy equipment, he will interrupt me very rudely and tell me that I don't need it and will contact you when I want to buy it. I have always been a very "ink-stained" person, insisting on calling all my clients once a week. Repeatedly, I would hang up on him and my attitude would always be rude. Until half a year later, on a Friday afternoon, he called me: I If you want to buy equipment, come to xx (the capital of a certain province) tomorrow. I was confused and was about to ask, but he hung up the phone again, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and buy a train ticket to that city. Before leaving, I remembered that his father was from Shandong and liked to eat pickles that are not available in the south. I went to Liubiju and bought a large bag of various pickles and brought them to him. Only when I arrived in xx city did I find out that the big brother was a hundred times ruder to his boss than he was to me. I won’t go into the details, but I just said that he finally signed the contract with me despite almost all the opposition from the leaders.

I was still a little confused on the train back, because it was my first contract, which cost more than 670,000 yuan.

Yes, although my first single took more than half a year, as life is inherently weird, my momentum mushroomed like mushrooms after a spring rain, and it got bigger and bigger. By the end of that year , I have already taken several people who came at the same time to do things together.

After that, there were all kinds of ups and downs. The simple summary is: I spent about five years trying to catch up, and I could sit with my classmates and drink coffee. They had Some were in well-known central enterprises, and some were in famous foreign companies; later I started working on my own and started three companies. During this period, I was scolded countless times, played tricks on by my colleagues, and was tricked, but these were not very important. What matters is that I made it through.

While watching "The Weather Man", I saw this line of dialogue.

Inexplicably touching.

Life has indeed been hard.

Because of poverty, I feel inferior. There is a girl that I like, but I don’t dare to say anything. I always feel that I am not qualified.

When you get sick, your first reaction is to check the Internet to find out what the problem is, and then buy medicine yourself.

I dare not go to the hospital because I have no money.

When shopping for clothes, I dare not enter those high-end-looking stores. Occasionally I entered once, but I was so embarrassed that I turned around and left quickly. I always feel like I'm embarrassing myself.

When I go to other cities, I never consider flying. Even on trains, one is reluctant to buy a sleeper berth.

I don’t dare to take a taxi because it is too expensive. Would rather walk on my own. I once walked for 3 hours just to save some taxi fare.

As for accommodation... I always find an Internet cafe to lie down for one night, and I have never considered a hotel.

I remember one time when I was riding a bicycle, I accidentally hit a car.

The car owner was nearby at the time. My brain buzzed and my forehead sweated. I thought it was over. I got into a big trouble

But he didn’t ask me to pay. He looked at me and said with pity:

Forget it, just go away, you are so poor. Student, I won’t be able to pay compensation if I kill you.

If I were granted amnesty, I would not even say sorry. But on the one hand, I felt relieved, but on the other hand, I felt like my self-esteem had been severely trampled on.

I swear I will never let anyone look down upon me again.

Since childhood, I have always worked hard and worked hard.

There have been some ups and downs at work, and there have been some ups and downs in starting a business, but I have managed to survive.

Compared with these, I prefer to talk about human nature. Human nature is sinister. It is up to you to decide whether you are a good person or a "bad person"

In my junior year, I became obsessed with stocks. In order to get more For information and resources, I found a stock exchange circle on the Internet. The threshold fee at that time was 6,000 yuan. I invested all my wealth. After entering, I found out that I had been deceived. The information in it was all deceptive. I contacted and asked for a refund. , he first said he would handle it for me, and then he stopped replying to me.

I stopped what I was doing, and I was doing an internship at the time. I used a few small numbers to contact him, and used some tricks to confirm that he lived in DanX County, ZhouX City, HeX City, and rushed to DanX County, Zhoukou City. County, I found his community without much effort, took a few photos of his community and sent them to his mobile phone, and sent him a text message: I am so-and-so, now in Dancheng, I took a few photos, the pixels are not good Great, just make do with it.

He was quite sensible this time and replied to me quickly: You can tell me how to solve it.

I was very happy: 6,000 was returned to me, plus 2,000 for round-trip travel, accommodation, food and drink, and 8,000 per night. He said it was inconvenient now, could it be done early tomorrow morning? I said the day after tomorrow would be fine, and I could add 200 yuan a day. He didn’t say anything. Half an hour later, my cell phone notified me that I had received 8,000 yuan.

That trip to Henan took me three days. Compared with my income at the time, it was no longer cost-effective, but I had to do it. Anyone who offends me will be punished no matter how far away he is. Only if you are evil will no one dare to harm you!

From then on, I learned that people are always cheap animals. To walk in the world, you must be very cool! As long as you are weak, no matter where you are, you will be discriminated against and looked down upon. I think poverty is not a state, but a mentality.

People, if they are more gangster-tempered, they will be less depressed! Why do villains succeed and gentlemen fail? Once you humble yourself, you will never get ahead. If a child does not do well in society, it is because his parents have inherited too many low self-esteem genes.

Seeing that many people on the Internet are kneeling down to ask for an explanation, I just want to say that this is purely a joke! Kneel down and you will never get justice and fairness. You will never get mercy if you kneel, and Americans will certainly not kneel in protest. Great men are great because we all kneel.

Many people are in trouble in life because they are too kind! I never want others to think that I am a well-educated person. People are all mean, and I grew up mean too! People who are too gentle and benevolent will only be disappointed in their lives. People who are too kind will be bitten to death by dogs. It is because I have no cultivation that I have never suffered a loss in my life. It's more cost-effective to be a gangster.

Bad people are all trained by good people! When a bad person does a good thing, it will be reported positively by TM. When a good person does a bad thing, his reputation will be ruined in his life. Is it cheaper to be a good person, or to be a bad person? You can do the math with your toes and know the answer.

In our common saying, "Good things will be rewarded with good things, and evil will be rewarded with evil things." There is also another saying, "Good people will not live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years."

Now I want to talk about why we have to work hard because money is human courage

When I first came to Beijing, I cried when I saw Chairman Mao in Tiananmen Square. Don't know why. Maybe it's because I think he needs to run so far. When the flag was raised the next day, I cried. I said to myself, I want to stay here, I want to buy the best house, drive the best car, eat in the best restaurants, drink the best wine, and fuck the most beautiful girls. Fortunately, I am still up to par and have done all these things. My understanding of money at this time. I have money and I just want to spend it.

Love starts out pretty much the same. But when two people are so ordinary that they hold hands with each other, do they work overtime and squeeze into the subway to pay off the mortgage and send money to his parents in the countryside to spend the holidays staring at each other in the house? Or do they drive a small car and work nine to five, live in a big house, do shopping on weekends, and decorate their own small house? When traveling abroad, the difference is very big.

Those elites that everyone admires are actually not as good as you think. But it's definitely much better than you are. Don't be fearless and deceive yourself, unless you don't want to have it. When you were in your senior year of high school, you saw that every math problem was difficult and there were reasons and opportunities to bypass it. But did the college entrance examination only test your ability to do it? Of course not, it’s just the questions you avoid to save trouble. So, comfort yourself when facing difficulties, and say a few words when you meet elites. It just proves that you don’t want to live a better life. There are reasons and consequences.

Whenever I hear about the success stories of people around me, how awesome they are, what they do, how much money they make... my first reaction is that I should work hard too. But the jealousy, laziness, and arrogance deep in your heart will jump out and tell you that he is bragging, and then you will feel relieved and continue to sleep.

The impact of poverty on people is really deep in their bones and their way of thinking. Even if your income is high, you will not want to go to the hospital when you get sick.

But fortunately, I started to change a lot after I got rich. I started to be willing to take a taxi and stay in a better hotel. Be willing to invest in yourself and spend money on social interactions.

In fact, the money spent eventually turned into various opportunities or rewards, and was earned back in multiples.

But when you are poor, it is impossible to understand.

In fact, money is not only a person’s courage, it is also the guarantee of your life and the possibility of your future.

Some people say money cannot buy happiness. I don't know, but I know that money can protect your happiness from being destroyed.

I have no intention of advocating the worship of money, but in this deformed society, you have to earn more money to protect yourself and your family.

Some people also ask me, why do I say that money is the boldest thing in people? Dignity is greater than everything else! Having dignity means living is meaningful!

You can have dignity even without money. This is a paradox for you

I want to say;

When When your child sees something with longing eyes, and you ask him if he wants it, and he replies "no" in a "good and sensible" way, do you actually think you still have dignity?

When you are shouting about glory and spirit in online games, staying up late and working overtime to farm equipment and then being hacked into pieces by RMB players, do you actually think you have dignity?

When you sit on a hard seat in a train for twenty or thirty hours, unable to stretch your legs or bend your waist, your whole body is sore and you hold on with perseverance, and you don’t even dare to look at cheap air tickets, You actually think you have dignity? You tell me, money is not what a man's courage is, but how much is your dignity worth.

Poor people will never understand how a haircut can cost a hundred yuan. Poor people can’t even understand that fried chicken legs on the street and chicken drumsticks from KFC are completely different things! The poor will argue for a long time on the street over whether a piece of green vegetables or eight cents. The poor will feel distressed for a long time because a piece of clothing is soiled. The poor would rather walk for half an hour on their own two legs than raise their hands to call a car.

Why am I talking about the difference between KFC and street fried chicken?

In a nutshell, KFC's hot wings cost 11 yuan a pair, while street fried chicken wings cost 5 yuan a pair.

As junk food fried chicken, KFC’s chicken wings are undoubtedly tastier than those on the street from McKinsey, McKinsey, McLean, McXX, and XX-based chicken wings. At least there will be no dead meat, and the food safety is relatively guaranteed. However, in the eyes of people without money, three yuan is a little bit more important than these. I don’t need to talk about French foie gras and Kobe steak, because these words have no concept at all for people who have no money.

The rich also worry about buying groceries

Well, that’s right, but the rich worry about buying groceries because they are free, while the poor worry about buying groceries because they need it. Necessary and unnecessary, I don’t seem to need to explain the difference between them.

The sentence "Money is a man's courage" is my most profound life experience. Anyone who seeks to stigmatize the value of money is either being hypocritical or too lucky to have never experienced true poverty.

Money may be one of the two most beautiful things in the world. The other thing I think is love that contains truth, goodness and beauty.
