Those who pursue stability will eventually be eliminated by The Times. Life is only looking down to pull the cart, but also to look up at the road.

IT has been a tumultuous year.

Verizon, America’s biggest telecoms operator with a market capitalisation of $220 billion, laid off 30% of its workforce, and 44,000 people lost their jobs overnight.

From June to early July 2018, a total of 108 P2P platforms exploded, leading the layoffs in Mutual Finance.

In August, Meituan and Hook revealed information of layoffs; In October, Alibaba, JINGdong and other enterprises “cut recruitment” to varying degrees… .

They say layoffs are coming, and you may be next.

How easy is it to destroy a middle-aged man?

Behind some faces are souls clenching their teeth.

Wu Xiaobo once told a story.

The background is from 1998 to 2003, the reform of state-owned enterprises, hundreds of thousands of enterprises “shut down and transform”, more than 20 million workers laid off.

There is a family, husband and wife laid-off workers, children are still studying. It lasted a few years.

One day, the child came home from school, said to mom and dad, the school is going to have a sports meeting, the teacher asked, everyone wear sneakers.

But in those days, they barely had enough to eat, and there was really no extra money for shoes.

During dinner, my wife began to complain.

She complained that her husband had no skill, no money, no shoes, and they had to suffer with him.

Her husband buried himself in silence. After dinner, her husband put down his chopsticks, walked silently to the balcony and jumped off.

The story ends abruptly.

As heavy as taishan sneakers, as light as a feather middle-aged life.

Agam, a former employee of Tencent, started his own business after leaving Tencent and did 3 companies. When the third company was about to start a successful business, he suddenly jumped from the 22nd floor and left the world.

Taste all the bitterness of life, but did not live to wait for the sweet.

Born in 1983, MAO Kankan, a junior high school graduate, computer genius, entrepreneurship hero, but the bankruptcy of the e-sports project caused him to end his life by burning charcoal.

Late last year, a ZTE programmer jumped to his death at the age of 42 from the 26th floor of the zte building after being told he would be laid off and his shares would be taken back at a low price.

Human joys and sorrows are not interlinked, middle-aged, bright appearance, the heart, perhaps already riddled with holes.

Who doesn’t pretend to be strong while falling apart?

There was a joke before, don’t call young people names, they’ll quit right away.

But you can curse middle-aged people to death, especially those with cars, houses and kids.

How many middle-aged people do not live well and dare not die.

Middle age is a soft spot, and the knife of age can not only soften your face, but also break your backbone.

Think of elderly parents, children in need of food, love still standing in the line, monthly house and car, you can not have a trace of capricious.

All the reality, all the pressure, are urging you to keep moving forward, even if it is difficult to move forward, but also spare no effort to protect their position.

Go ahead. Just don’t dock your pay. In order to live, I have to fight hard.

There is no such thing as “easy” in the adult world. Pressure is so pervasive that there is no escape, either to fight it or to leave it alone.

Perhaps, those who choose to leave, really can not bear the weight of life.

After all, real life is much harder than it seems!

How many people want to live as beasts

I have to bow to reality

Recently, the Japanese TV drama “We Who Can’t Be Beasts” went viral on Wechat, saying “It’s my life, too real to watch.”

Niigaki jieyi played female deep-sea crystal is simply a typical representative of “society livestock youth”.

In Japanese, “club” means “company,” and “zoo” means livestock.

As the name implies, the word “animal” is used to describe workers enslaved by companies to work as hard as animals.

It has a sarcastic meaning, like we often say “mortgage slave”, “credit card slave” and so on.

As we all know, work pressure in Japan as a whole is very high, and it is also a fact that office workers work long hours of overtime.

This seems far away, but it has become a common phenomenon for most office workers in Our country.

An investigation shows that in Japan, 80% of the people belong to social livestock, while in China, the number of social livestock is exploding.

According to a survey on stress among 16,000 workers in 80 countries and regions around the world, 75 percent of people on the Chinese mainland think stress is higher than last year, ranking first among all countries and regions surveyed.

This means that it is inevitable that the Pressure of the Chinese people is the highest in the world.

 

Another survey shows that the number of people suffering from mental diseases has surpassed cardiovascular diseases to become the first disease in China, and about 70 percent of the Chinese people are in a state of mental “sub-health”.

Life is hard, everyone is born hard. How many people want to live as beasts, but can only bow to reality.

Middle-aged people endure, perhaps just see through the cruelty of the world, but endure does not mean to give up.

Those young people who leave after being scolded will basically collapse unless they have mines at home.

Many young people who have nothing to fight for and have a high regard for themselves cannot be wronged at all. They run away when they are in trouble or change when they feel frustrated.

But this looks very cool road, pit are in the second half.

Sleeping college students

If you are not unemployed, who is unemployed

One big problem with Chinese education is that it is strict before it is lax.

Since the beginning of the child, parents do not let children lose in the starting line, the pressure itself is great, but also on a variety of interest classes, training classes, children simply do not belong to their own time to play.

When I went to high school, I was helpless and miserable. Every day, I kept asking questions. I got up earlier than the chicken and went to bed later than the dog.

This, of course, is the result of social competition, and parents and schools are also to blame.

The kids finally get an acceptance letter, a college campus, and feel like they can finally relax.

There is an old saying in China that the heart is like a wild horse on the grassland.

University is a place full of “liberal democracy” atmosphere, no one is in charge of their own.

Soon, they become addicted to games, skip classes and go to bars. It is common for them to fail. All the knowledge they have learned in the previous 12 years of education is given back to their teachers, and they are even delayed and expelled from school.

 

A few days ago, Hunan College of Environmental Biology and Technology announced the decision to expel 22 students whose academic performance did not meet the requirements. In addition, 40 students failed grades.

 

Huazhong University of Science and Technology, a 985-strong university, also issued a notice to convert 18 students from bachelor’s degrees to junior college degrees.

The reason is very simple, because of the exam failed.

 

Too many college students take dawdling for granted.

Too many Chinese parents will say: My son worked so hard for a college entrance exam, how can the school just drop out?

There is no cure in this world but ignorance.

It is not unusual for college students to be discouraged in the West. They don’t do vanity projects, and in many cases the graduation rate is less than half.

Western education system stresses the principle of lenient admission and strict exit. They focus on cultivating children’s innovative thinking ability and exploring each child’s specialty. After entering university, the competition will be more fierce.

 

For a long time, college has been regarded as a paradise for students. No matter teachers or parents, they will tell you: “After a hard time in high school, college will be easy.”

 

A lot of kids got hurt by that.

 

If you mess around in college, you waste not just those four years, but, quite possibly, your whole life.

Many college students do not realize the seriousness of the problem until they start to look for a job in their senior year. Their professional knowledge is almost zero and they have no social skills at all. All the inactivity of the previous three years has finally been returned to them at this moment.

By the time they woke up, they had been eliminated from the world.

After all, the society is not the same as the college entrance examination, not by clever before the college entrance examination, one foot brush score is very high on the 985, 211 is successful, the test of society is all-round survival ability, under the pressure of survival all their weaknesses will be forced to hide.

Ding Lei once said that I quite agree that the achievement of a person’s life mainly depends on one’s life, two good luck, three feng shui, four virtue and five reading.

Life is difficult, the so-called two lazy three do not read!

University, because of its loose, it is more to learn self-discipline.

I don’t know where I heard this sentence, the students with poor grades can not find a good job is the least respect for the students with excellent grades, and the same way, the lazy people who are greedy for temporary comfort can not earn money is also the most diligent people at least respect.

Many people, lazy, but also complain that their talent is not met, a bitter hatred with this world break, but do not know that they are short-sighted waste.

Do you know by your waste of time, how many people are desperately?

What you don’t know is that every day after graduation is a disaster.

Why are you being advised to study for life

The salary of every job is not easy to take, it is impossible to mix and mingle with pay.

Money is changed by sweat, how much skill how much salary, how hard you work, how much value you create for yourself.

This is the iron law of market economy.

When you’re stuck in a job day after day, unaware that the world around you is changing by the day, you’re going to be out of business.

A man of vision gives himself a way out, and only in times of peace can he leave calmly.

This way back is lifelong learning.

Why lifelong learning?

In fact, many people from the beginning of the school, feel that finally do not need to learn, finally get rid of learning.

If you do, then I have a word of advice: you are in danger.

Why do you say that?

Because the big society is moving so fast right now, you don’t even know what it will look like in five years.

In the future, many occupations will disappear. E-commerce will crush entities, takeout will defeat instant noodles, online booking will eliminate taxis, and the emergence of sharing economy will directly hit the traditional sales industry.

For enterprises, if they do not learn, do not timely transformation and upgrading, bankruptcy is sooner or later.

For individuals, you don’t work hard, the future is likely to be replaced by artificial intelligence.

The arrival of artificial intelligence is not only a simple technological progress, it is to replace those who do not study hard, do not stride forward.

If a person wants to achieve great success in life, he is doomed to go hand in hand with reading and lifelong learning.

Warren Buffett is a prime example.

Because of his lifetime of hard work and dedicated learning, Buffett has become the most knowledgeable and experienced person in the field of stock investment in The history of the United States, and has gained great wealth.

He gets up on time every day and spends a lot of time reading all kinds of news, earnings reports and books.

His office has no computer, no smartphone, just books on a shelf behind him and a table of newspapers spread out.

Lifelong reading and learning, Buffett, even at the age of 84, is still in charge of the world’s largest investment company, maintaining a sharp brain and mind, as well as the love of work and life.

Buffett doesn’t have the Midas Touch, he just got where he is through a lifetime of focus and lifelong learning.

In many cases, what we call the solidification of social classes, poor families can not get rich children, in the final analysis, the vision and choice of people of different classes.

We may not be able to determine our birth and class, but each of us can shape an excellent personality for ourselves through reading and lifelong learning, and achieve personal improvement and class breakthrough.

Only reading and lifelong learning is the best way for each of us to improve our knowledge, vision and personality with the lowest cost.

And once you have a great personality, you will be strengthened by a universal belief:

“If you want what you want, you have to be worthy of it. Trust, success and admiration are all earned.”

In the face of this belief, all shortcuts and ideas of getting something for nothing will fade into the light of your own personal efforts.

This is perhaps the best answer to why we spend our lives reading and studying.

Whether young or middle-aged, as long as we have the capital, we can live the life we want.

Learning, investment brain is our best capital!

The way you study, you look so handsome!

The way you waste your time, it’s ugly!

I hope that after reading this article, we can say goodbye to the gloom and damp in front of us and live a good life.

Even after tasting all the bitter tastes of this world, we can continue to laugh at the sweetness of life.

With your mutual encouragement.

Forward it and let more people see it!
