The distance you want to go, start now

The company has to recruit a group of planners, and I have the honor to participate in this recruitment event as one of the interviewers. In this recruitment event, I happened to meet my classmate Wang Nan.

Wang Nan and I are classmates in high school and have good grades in Chinese, especially writing. She often said that she wants to be a writer and want to publish her own collection of poems.

At the time of the entrance exam, Wang Nan missed the university due to a few points. In the next two years, she attended the most famous re-reading class in the city. After taking the exam again, she finally passed the university department line more than 10 points in the third impact.

The distance you want to go, start now

Regrettably, when he reported his volunteers, Wang Nan made some mistakes.

When she received the admission notice, she was shocked, but she was unable to recover it. She was admitted to a teacher's college in the province. Although she liked the Chinese major, she was able to go to college and scored a college degree. Very unwilling, complaining, and nowhere to report to the school.

In this interview, Wang Nan played very badly.

After self-introduction, the recruiter asked why there is no photocopy of the English Proficiency Certificate IV in the resume.

She swallowed and was a little shy: "No."

Graduated from Chinese major, did not publish an article in any newspaper. In the 15-minute trial, Wang Nan was nervous and made a few mistakes. "In fact, I especially like writing..." She repeatedly stressed that later, when she couldn’t say it, she was silent.

Don't wait for the final result, look at the examiner's expression, Wang Nan knows that this application has no play. Wang Nan left without waiting for the final announcement of the interview results.

Later, I tweeted to learn about her message from others.

Wang Nangang entered the division, she was very concerned because she was the first to enter the school, but disappointment, anger and complaints dominated her emotions, and she almost gave up at school. Although Wang Nan wanted to be a writer, but for a few years, he didn't even read a few books, and the manuscript didn't write an article. In short, regarding the school, Wang Nan automatically pressed the stop button after being forced to break the summer.

The reason why I feel the story of Wang Nan is because I found that many people who fail have always liked to talk about ideals. Especially when attending large and small gatherings, almost everyone started to plan a big change after three rounds of wine. This said that he had to quit his job of dying and dying, and devoted himself to a career he really loved; that he was going to look for his boss, patted the table and asked for a promotion and salary increase, as soon as the other party refused to agree, he would leave the table and leave...

However, after a while, you will find that these people have not changed a bit. The former rhetoric is just a half-awake spirit.

Cai Kangyong, a well-known Taiwanese host, once wrote such a passage: At the age of fifteen, I feel that swimming is difficult, I give up swimming. When I am 18, I meet someone you like and ask you to go swimming. You have to say "I won't." At the age of eighteen, I feel that English is difficult, I give up English. At the age of twenty-eight, there is a great job that requires English. You have to say "I won't." The more troublesome the early life, the more lazy to learn, the more likely you will miss the people and things that make you tempted, and miss the new scenery.

In life, many people have their own dreams, but have you worked hard for your dreams? One hundred swears in the dream is not as good as one step in reality. In reality, those who can achieve excellent results, which are not working hard for their dreams step by step?

I know a young man who is an ordinary network maintenance person at the Broadband Company near my home. Because I often meet, I will be familiar with it one after the other. He divorced from his parents and lived with his grandfather. He worked almost every day until midnight, because he had overtime pay for one hundred yuan for one hour at 12 o'clock.

One time I applied for the Internet again, he said that he could not come on Sunday because he wanted to test IELTS! I thought that I have not tested, you a maintenance worker test IELTS? After a while, he went to the door again for repairs and said to me: "I am going to study in New Zealand. I have thought about it and quit my job. I can't repair it later."

I was amazed and asked him casually: "Why are you going to New Zealand, IELTS has gone through many countries!" He said: "Because my girlfriend is there, I want to go with her in the past. If I don't accompany, We will have a gap slowly, so I have to test it, so that our distance will not be too far."

Since then, he has never been to my home to repair the Internet, sometimes the network is broken, I will remember his story.

There is another story, and it is also happening around me. She is a girl working in the elevator. She goes up and down in the elevator every day. She is dressed in earth, never makeup, and has a simple ponytail. She always wears a water glass and holds an English book in her hand.

Such girls are many in Beijing, and they usually work in obscurity. No one will pay attention to them. At first, she was looking at high school textbooks, and then slowly became university textbooks, four or six grades, postgraduate exams, and TOEFL. No one cares what she is learning, what she is looking at, what background she is, where she lives, how much she earns, what dreams she has, she learns what she wants to do, and she is still learning what to learn. The residents in the building sometimes give her the magazines they have seen at home. I think that as long as there is something, for an elevator worker, it can be used for learning.

Later, she disappeared for a long time.

I saw her later, on a Monday morning, I rushed to the company and passed her by. She was dressed in a professional suit and hurried into a high-end office building. She didn't notice me, but I remember her.

This is an era that is not conducive to talking about ideals. Everyone seems to have a bunch of goals that are urgently to be achieved, but there is always a silent walker between "ideal" and "achieving ideals". It is too easy to talk, but it is always difficult to do things. Instead of being a verbal hero, it is better to take the first step silently.

Life is a very real thing. If you don't act, your goal will never be realized. No matter how brilliant your ideals are portrayed, you can only enjoy yourself, but you can't really win yourself. After all, relying on the mouth, it is never possible to achieve the ideal, only the feet can continue to extend our way.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, is it really difficult to achieve an ideal? The distance you want to go, start sailing now, do a little bit every day, and one day you will find that your persistence is leading you and moving toward the distance you are longing for.
