As an ordinary ordinary person, in our mediocre or open-minded life, we often face four major dilemmas: ability is not worthy of dreams, income is not worthy of enjoyment, appearance is not worthy of hypocrisy, and insight is not worthy of age. These difficulties and challenges are something that everyone will encounter. And only by bravely facing and accepting it can we truly appreciate the meaning and value of life.
My second uncle is an ordinary and extraordinary person. He once had the dream of being young and "arrogant", eager to change the world with his own ability - to become an "entrepreneur" who glorifies his ancestors, to put it bluntly, is to make a lot of money and be famous.
However, after more than ten years of struggling and stumbling, he found that his ability was far from worthy of his dream, whether it was the background, the pattern, or anything else, he did not have an advantage. To be honest, in my opinion, he is very lucky not to be in debt after all the random operations and wild start-ups.
He used to be an ambitious idealist, but the reality of life forced him to learn to accept, understand that he was an ordinary person, accept the ordinary life now, and pin his hopes on his stupid son.
Whether the income is not worthy of enjoyment is another problem that bothered my second uncle. has not stepped on the tuyere of the times, there is no iron rice bowl, the harder you work, the more you pay, and your income will always be stretched, especially if your son has to go to school.
He often snuggled up in his study, calculating his assets and liabilities over and over again, and turning down invitations from colleagues and friends to hang out, just to save a few hundred dollars.
He is still working hard to make money, and gradually "grandize", every time he gets a small profit, he is very happy, every time he saves the budget expenses, he feels very remarkable, and he enjoys the small changes in income and expenditure.
Looks are not worthy of hypocrisy, which is another dilemma, but this is no problem for my second uncle at all. He is not handsome, even a little mediocre, but he has never felt inferior because of this, after all, people who come out of the countryside, pragmatism is his good character, as for good-looking, they are all forty or fifty years old, and no one cares anymore.
He won the respect and trust of others with sincerity and kindness, and he became the pillar of his family with diligence and hard work.
This dilemma is common in young people and often ends in plastic surgery. The second uncle made a high comment on this, bluntly saying that it is better to use the money to buy a tram and drive Didi to make money, because there will be more places to use the money in the future.
Seeing is not worthy of age, which is also a problem for him. Although he is old and has rich life experience, he lacks experience and insight in many aspects, but it is okay, he did not stop learning because of this, but continued to enrich himself, continue to grow, and even went back to ask his son how to use the APP on his mobile phone, and also got a bracelet, pondering to record body data.
So, when you feel the difficulties and struggles of life, think about them differently, these difficulties are not the punishment of life, but the opportunity to build good character.
Just like my second uncle, he faced all kinds of challenges in life with sincerity and courage, even if he didn't achieve much, but in the eyes of his wife and children, he was the best relative and role model. Over the past decades, I have gone through the ups and downs of life, faced difficulties and overcome myself.
