Some time ago, I said to leave and came to Yunnan. Before going out, plan to set the time for half a month or a month. The friend said, are you crazy? After going out for so long, don't you want to work? I said, I just want to go out and have a look. My friend said, just go out for a few days. It's a waste of time to go out for so long. In the eyes of ordinary people, being old and old, thinking about going out to visit mountains and rivers all day, dreaming about opening the vacation mode of staying in the sun all day, taking so much time to play, not working and not making money, is probably a waste of time and life. I also think so. My left hand is traveling and my right hand is the boss. I honestly continue to work. I've been wavering and tangled for a long time. Finally, he was ruthless and resolutely bought a ticket to Yunnan. He didn't give himself a chance to repent and comforted himself that he was fulfilling a wandering dream. When I really came to the road and met my peers, I realized that nothing is wasted. The little partner was picked up online. Well, to be exact, they found us. Don't talk about danger. Follow others without knowing them. People who are afraid of hands and feet can't experience a different life. Two small partners, who came from different cities and were not familiar with each other, met on the road. They hit it off and smelled the same. They walked together again and again year after year, carrying bags through different cities, carpooling, housing and road expenses. They were extravagant and economical. They traveled most of China and Southeast Asia. This was their nth time to leave. From their own city to Ho Chi Minh, to Nha Trang, to Dalat, to Menai, to Da Nang, to Hanoi, and into Yunnan, they intend to take the route that Yunnan has not yet taken. We were picked up by chance and walked all the way from Shiping to Jianshui, Yuanyang, Gejiu, Mengzi, Puzhehei, Bamei and Luoping. We went back to Kunming and they continued to go to Guizhou. From years ago to years later, it took nearly a month to cross borders and provinces, like crossing another period of life. I asked them, do you think it's a waste of time? They said, don't waste, go to more places and experience more life while you are young. They spent the Spring Festival in Vietnam, riding motorcycles, having fun in the white sand dunes, taking pictures on the top of their cars, blowing balloons on the beach, taking mud baths, taking saunas, going to bars and drinking, tasting all kinds of seafood, walking through cities in Vietnam, watching buildings, listening to personal stories, meeting groups of people with interesting stories, and reaping a lot of laughter, Such a day is just a matter of envy. They said it was very interesting. They had to laugh at least ten times a day. I think of that sentence, smile, ten years young. I also think of people who are busy in the city and always frown. What does this life waste? Life is much more interesting than the boring life of buying vegetables and cooking after work and taking care of children; Their independence, self-care, planning, overall planning and adaptability are also beyond the reach of the two front-line otaku men and women; Of course, their bodies are also great. They don't worry about exercise at all and walk every day. There are gains and losses. If you want to get a different experience, you must be willing to put down other things. Maybe you are not working or making money, but the spiritual pleasure, inner fullness and ability training cannot be given by any step-by-step work. This is not a waste, but a kind of growth. 02 We say that we waste a lot of time and things. We always measure the meaning of everything by our own standards and define whether it is worth it or not. What is worth is earned, and what is not worth is wasted. Some people feel that learning and making progress is not a waste of time; Some people think that the day when they earn money and earn money is not a waste; Some people think that as long as they are walking and experiencing, they are not wasting... Everyone has different ideas, so there are many standards for "waste". therefore: Some people say that after three years with him, I cheated on him. It's a waste of years of my youth! Some people say that it takes five years to do this position. I work too much overtime. I'm so tired. I didn't get a promotion or raise my salary. I wasted these years in vain! Some people say that if you study this major and you don't do it, don't you waste the books you read? Some people say that holding a mobile phone every day is a waste of time! …… But we have never thought about what such a common thing has brought to us? Is time really wasted? Is life really wasted? My answer is, that's not necessarily true. I read a story about Haiyan. Before he became famous, he once spent a lot of time secretly writing the first novel plainclothes policeman after work. In the eyes of others, he who has only read for four years is not qualified to write good things, regardless of his qualification or education. It is impossible for him to embark on the road of literature and spend more time on these things than he can do. What is obvious is to waste energy, time and life. After the publication of Haiyan's novel, it caused a sensation and won the first prize of the first "Golden Shield literature award" and the first national excellent detective novel award. After interviewing Haiyan, Yang Lan summed up the best explanation for "wasting life": "his experience proves that as long as you have a heart, there is nothing wasted in this life." How do you know he's scum if you don't spend time with him? In the three years with him, you have also been happy and loved, and you have learned how to love. It also tells you that your feelings are not unbridled and unchanging, and the setbacks caused by emotional changes let you learn to respond and become strong, and let you know how to cherish the next good person in the next period of feelings, although you are not generous enough to heartlessly thank him for his failure, But at least it's good to understand it yourself. Having worked in a company for five years, that is, in an industry for five years, you have accumulated countless contacts and resources. Being practical and working overtime makes you gain more than your colleagues fishing in troubled waters, so that you can clearly see whether it is a problem of the company's system or your own lack in some aspect that you haven't been promoted for five years? Of course, their own problem is to improve and cultivate. Even if it is a system problem, with these five years of experience, it is easy to get familiar with this industry, and resources, contacts and rich experience are the most valuable competitiveness. If you learn this profession but don't do it, maybe you have better development in other industries, and the profession you learn is still in your stomach, your mind and your knowledge reserve, which may come in handy at any time. No amount of knowledge is enough. The more you see, the more you know, the more you have the capital to speak freely and get closer to success. I also love holding my mobile phone, but I don't just go shopping on Taobao and play games. All my information comes from my mobile phone. If I want to get the amount of information every day, I can't finish it in the morning. It is also an ability to buy things without changing or returning goods. The probability of novices buying slag goods is several times higher than that of veterans. Even if you just sleep at home, you can make up for your sleep, lighten your dark circles, and relax your body and mind. You may not have a very grand goal, you may not have the action of beating chicken blood, or you may not have huge economic benefits, but whether it is the perception of the soul, the improvement of ability, the growth of knowledge or the cultivation of health, as long as you benefit more or less after everything, then the time has not been wasted. Everything you experience in your life, every chance you encounter, every inch of time you spend, and everyone you meet are an experience of accumulating self-cultivation and growth. They are adding a touch of color to your life. You don't know when you will have enough explosive energy, like Haiyan. There is no so-called waste on the road of life. Each road has to face different problems. It is not so smooth and difficult. As long as you experience, experience, enjoy and grow with your heart, no time will be wasted. I've always believed in the saying that heaven is worthy of those who have a heart. All your efforts and hardships will eventually repay you. What's important is that you have to be a person with a heart.
