Yesterday, I met a friend, very young, out to take orders at night.


I asked, “Why haven’t we finished yet?”

He said, “I just got out. I haven’t done anything during the day.”

“Part-time?”

“Rightness, open shop during the day, do seafood business, another day free go to me that buy crab!”

“Yes,” I said, but I was thinking of something else.




Recently, there is a popular word called “sideline demand”. It seems that all of a sudden, all my friends have started their “double life”.


Boosting income from a side hustle is something every adult after the age of 30 should be conscious of, they say.

I started a second career, and I made it big.

My colleague xiao A, like me, clocked in and clocked out during the day and wrote activity plans and PPT carefully every day.


By chance, I found that he had a special understanding of Qidian Chinese website, such as how many words a novice should write, how much he would sign a contract, and how difficult it was to sign a contract with an author. Only then did I know that in addition to PPT, he had also written 70,000 words of fairy fairy novels on Qidian Chinese website.


So you never know who you work with is making multiple of their salary each month on the side.

Colleague small B, during the day to two computer screens, knocking a line of dense code, no matter when to find him to develop a small game, only a sentence: please wait for the schedule…


But in the evening, I found a video of his guitar playing and singing on Douyin, which received more than 10,000 likes. Thinking of the plan I’d been scheduling, I silently unliked my thumbs-up.


So, you never know how literary a serious programmer can be at night.

Friend small C, graduation year was admitted to the civil servant, is a few of us in the most envied work, graduation more long more feel, or civil servant work stability, easy welfare is good, the object is also looking for.


But he told us he actually worked nights at a bar for six months.


We couldn’t believe it until we went to the bar where he worked and saw him, in his jacket and baseball cap, standing in the light of the lights, swaying with deafening music.


You see, the original want of freedom, began to desire stability, stability of the people, but chose to beat.

My friend D is a PR worker in a company. He is familiar with the media circle and has a wide network of contacts. The circle of friends is to attend various industry summits, or the gathering of friends in the circle.


When I was buying insurance, I wanted her to introduce me to a good broker, and she said she was one, so I could just ask her.


I was very surprised, she said: “It is normal nothing, friends need help to do, to earn extra income!”


I suddenly realized that adult life is really double-sided, no matter how different the roles are, they can switch freely.

Statistics say that 70% of young people have a sideline, sideline has become this session of young people just need.

Either because the salary can not support themselves, or because the repetitive work can not find the meaning of life, either reason, this generation of young people, to adapt to the multi-faceted life of their own.

Perhaps you’ve been anxious as if you’re the only one living paycheck to paycheck? Don’t know which life is the most meaningful?


Some people say to find the right direction, focus on unity, some people say to slash youth, all-round development. But these “said” are only “said”.


If you have a dream, take it one way and stick to it. Don’t care what others say. If you don’t have a clear idea of your future, take more chances.


There are many sides to life, and there is no right answer.
