Who has flying wings

Kafka once wrote a fable, "Alternation", which is like this: a group of soldiers surrounded a city, looking for enemies in the alley, suddenly saw an old man with wings, the original people in the city are winged .

"You are surprised," said the old man. "We all have wings, but they are useless to us. We don't use wings to fly, and no one wants to use their wings to escape. If they can pull them down, we I have been doing it for a long time."

"Since you have wings that can help you escape, why don't you fly away?" the soldier asked inexplicably.

"Let us fly away from our city? Leave our hometown? Leave the dead and the gods?" The old man asked more incomprehensibly.

This fable, although Kafka did not write the ending, but the ending is very easy to guess: in order to stick to their traditional life, for their own vested interests, despite the wings, they are not willing to fly away.

Finally, although the people in this city have a pair of wings that can fly, their city is quickly ruined by enemies without wings.

At our side, there is such a thing happening all the time. You could have started a new journey with your own courage. You had the opportunity to create a new world, but you missed the success because of the small gains and losses. .

A few years ago, a reader called me many times and said that he had an important life problem. I sincerely asked me to give him an idea. Every time he called, he said with sincerity and fear: I am very anxious to bother you, but I am your reader, I know that you have encountered my problems today.

He is a college graduate and now works as a grassroots unit. He recently saw the notice of recruiting a journalist from a newspaper in the provincial capital. He touched the string that loved literature and news writing, and secretly took the family to apply for it. As a result, he was very good and was hired. When he received the notice of employment, he was in trouble. Now that I have a home in the county, my wife works in a business office and has children. If he goes to the province, will the unit solve the housing? The price of the provincial capital is so high, can you afford a house in the provincial capital? How to solve the wife's work? This journalist has more careers than his current career advantages and disadvantages?

I have imagined a lot of difficulties when things have not yet been done. I am the most intolerant of such people. The first time I called, I told him that applying to the provincial newspaper office is another option for your life. If you feel that your current job is not suitable, this may be an opportunity for you to start again.

Within a few days, he called again and said that his family, especially his wife, opposed him to apply to the provincial capital, unless he gave the house and settled his wife's work. And again, sorry to bother me again. "But I am really hesitant. I can't make up my mind. I know that being a journalist is more suitable for my own development than my current job. But those life problems can't be solved, and my family will not support it," he said.

Because it was the second time, and I had a lot of understanding of him from the phone, this time I said something heavier. I asked him this way: Since you have no courage to face the problems in your life, why do you have such a thought? Is your current position not good? A stable and civil servant is also an enviable career in the local area. He said, however, I love news and literature, and I have published more than ten thousand words. He told me that he felt that it was his life's pursuit to be an editorial reporter. In the county seat, he could not do anything in his life.

Later, he wrote a letter to me, detailing his own difficulties and hesitation. Asked about his address, I wrote a letter to him, hoping that he can get rid of the confusion of life and grasp this opportunity.

I say this: In our lives, suffering and self-restraint is the enemy of success in life. Countless people in the world have lost the chance of success. When we face opportunities in life, when we are faced with the dilemma of life, we should break free from all the chains in our bodies. In fact, the difficulties of life in the future are often not as big as expected. When we are difficult to grasp the successes and failures, we often push the difficulties we will encounter to the front, so that the weight of choice is added to the losing side. There is no such thing as a good thing in the world that solves all difficulties, so that you can easily take it, and everything must be done by hard work.

Not long ago, I participated in a gathering activity in the county. I saw the young man who had asked me for my idea. He was finally worried that he could not solve the problems without leaving. He still worked as a small staff member in the original unit. There was no improvement or brightening in life. However, what I have learned is that the young people who entered the media in the province, many of them have already started their careers.

Every time I think about this young man, I naturally think of Kafka’s allegory. Each of us has a pair of flying wings, but many people have never thought of using their wings to fly on the vast blue sky.
