To survive, make a small grass first.


As a person, if you have not experienced the joys and sorrows of the world, and you have not played against life, you cannot understand the meaning of life.

——Yang Wei

Survival is to live well, to live in peace with the situation, like the grass "wild fire can not burn" as alive. Only when you learn to survive can you have the opportunity to change the previous setbacks before you have the chance to approach success.

Maybe you will not achieve your goal of success in your life, but you must work hard to survive, because if you stop working, you will give up life and stop growing.

In recent years, more and more college students have flocked to the society. More and more people complain about social injustice, hard work, low wages, high prices, and untimely time! What's more, waiting for the parent's trust relationship, finding an acquaintance to seek work, and the most extreme, staying at home without proper work, staying for one or two years.

These remind me of the days of my ups and downs after I stepped out of school.

In 1998, I graduated from secondary school. According to my academic plan, the government arranged work. But that year, the government began institutional reforms, fined layoffs, and expected work to continue to wait, waiting indefinitely.

I was born in the mountains, my father died young, and my mother supported the tuition and living expenses of our sisters. The study left a lot of debts, and the mother in her 50s had already bowed her back. Making money is imminent. After thinking hard, after the Spring Festival in 1999, I gave up and waited alone to come to Longgang District, Shenzhen. Started a purposeless search for work.

I went to the "employment agency" to fill out my resume with the hot sun in the south. When I told the other party that I was only a graduate of a secondary school, the other party would look at me with a distrustful eye, or mixed with a little disdain. It seems that a secondary school student has no use in their eyes. Moreover, the number of jobs employing secondary school qualifications is limited. At that time, mobile phones were still luxury in my dictionary, and I could not buy and support them. In order to get in touch with the employer in time, I have to return to the agency on the date of the other party’s appointment, and ask if the employer has hired me.

Of course, these efforts have turned into bubbles. Either my qualifications are too low, or I am not a Shenzhen account, or I will not speak "Cantonese" and cannot communicate with the client's language, or my profession is not suitable... I refuse to use all kinds of reasons. Outside the door.

I only brought a few hundred yuan from home, or borrowed from a neighbor's house, less than 300 yuan after the toll. Every night I look for a small hotel for a few nights. If I don't find a hotel for a few nights, I will wait until 12pm to go to the hotel to bargain, which will be much cheaper. I tried to sleep on the street or under the bridge several times, but the kind of passers-by reminded me: "Don't stroll on the street after 12 o'clock. There are a lot of 'security' will catch you as a tramp." No matter how far, I try to walk, one To save money on the road, and hope to meet the new "employment agency." Every day I buy a few cheap gimmicks to send me three meals a day.

The harder you work, the less you work, the less you look at you; the more you want to survive, the closer you are to your body. A few days later, I turned to the home of the factory to sell myself. However, most of the factories must be introduced by acquaintances. I am alone, and I only return to the wall again and again.

When I was about to become a "wanderer", a kind-hearted janitor took me in, and I made an ordinary preservation.

I work 12 hours a day, and the salary is about 600 yuan / month. Although the salary is not high, it makes me leave the days of starvation. For the first time, I understand that living is so difficult, so precious.

Two years later, I returned to my county town. I bought a small truck with savings from working in Shenzhen and started selling small vegetables and fruits and reselling coal. Every night at 3 or 4 o'clock to the side dish fruit wholesale market to buy goods, after selling the side dishes and fruit, some people need to rent a taxi to go around for rent, leisurely to go around to sell Yancoal. Occasionally work overtime at night to clear the garbage on the construction site.

The days have changed quietly in the effort. I bought my own house in the county town and married my wife and children.

However, the failure to seek a civil service post has become a mother’s regret for many years, and such words are often lingering. After all, my mother used to study for me in order to get a government-type job.

By chance, I saw that a local civil servant job recruitment requirement was as low as a secondary school diploma. For the mother's long-cherished wish, and for a stable life, I have picked up the book that has been separated for 10 years.

When I sat in the same room as the college students and university students, I realized that I was so small. But I finally conquered the examiner with each of the first results.

"Only action can transform fate." "When Heaven gives people a difficult time, it also gives people a wisdom." "A long way, you can finish step by step, and then you can't walk without a foot." Arrived, I finally understood the truth of these words.

I am not successful, let alone achievements. In the vast sea of ​​people, I am a drop in the ocean, but along the way, I learned to live independently, live like a grass, and understand the meaning of survival.

So, I wrote "To survive, make a small grass first" into my life motto.
