A girl in my circle of friends is like a TV play. When I first met her, she helped in a Japanese restaurant and gave up her stable job in Shanghai. After adding wechat, I found that she was in Kyoto today, and went to Hokkaido next week to pursue the pace of Japanese food. Sometimes, she talked with the shopkeeper and went to help. The shopkeeper took care of the food. She didn't want money and learned some cooking skills. She wanted to open a Japanese food store, but she gave up because of the large investment. Later, he went to India and Kenya. I know she is not baifumi. Sometimes I worry about her. I don't know when I can go ashore. One day, she suddenly sent me a wechat message saying that she had come to Wuhan to study jewelry identification at the University of Geosciences. In the second year, she opened a micro store. In the third year, she established a physical store in Nanjing, which specializes in African wax and agate. I said you were so lucky that you just ran two stores. "I've been looking for opportunities on the road." She said with a smile. In those years when she was a white-collar worker, she was a standard housewife. Life is monotonous and boring. Work meets the ceiling early and wants to change, but it is really "thinking about thousands of ways at night and continuing to walk the same way during the day". "At that time, I was really lazy, and I didn't want to talk about love. Until a classmate came to Shanghai to play, lived in my home, saw my life state, and seriously said, Xiaoqiu, you won't have good luck lying at home." Since then, whenever she was very anxious at home, she thought of the sentence "friend". She forced herself to go out. First, she enrolled in the Japanese class. She didn't know what the purpose was. She just saw that some of her colleagues were learning, so she followed. Then he took the opportunity to go to Japan. In the first few years, I was basically in a state of doing nothing. The income is not as high as before. Although I have seen a lot of things in the world, I just feel better. It has not brought about a turning point in my life, let alone income. It was not until she met her current partner on the plane to Kenya that her good luck really came. Xiaoqiu said that life is so wonderful. Those detours, setbacks and failures that go round and round only feel depressed at the beginning. Until a light suddenly lights up, you realize that you were walking through the darkness in order to meet today's light. Without those experiences, you wouldn't be able to catch today's light. 02 Three years ago, I decided to open a coffee shop during the bottleneck period of my career. At that time, I didn't know what the coffee shop could bring. I just thought that on the one hand, I liked it, on the other hand, I didn't have much investment, and on the other hand, I could bring some writing materials when I was at the worst. At that time, many people thought I was hasty, but I knew I had to act. I have been writing at home for ten years and have been hollowed out. Sometimes I am desperate to write. I didn't succeed in running a coffee shop. However, through this event, I explored my potential beyond writing. Originally, I was good at speaking. I presided over the reading salon. From the beginning, I walked on thin ice to the later, I became familiar with the road. It turned out that I could still do business. At first, I was embarrassed to charge my friends' coffee money. Until a friend scolded me for being stupid and said that if I didn't charge money, they would never come to my store again, I knew that business should be done in a big way. As long as you try to provide the best products, you should make money. Out of the narrow door of writing at home, my horizons have become broadened, more and more opportunities, and more and more good luck. People often talk to me about planning many times. I said you should do it first. They were not happy. They thought I was perfunctory. They didn't come up with any results, so they let others do it. In fact, I really don't know what kind of results can be reached. If you can't even get out of the original point. Our starting point is very low, so it is impossible to have a perfect plan to directly point to success; Like small trees, we draw our own rings in circles. Only when we take the first step, even if we fail, can we know how to take the second step. 03 In 2017, one of the team's little partners, one of whom was admitted as an on-the-job graduate student, one of whom was learning French, and the other went to Taiwan with me, and came back to apply for a photography training class, determined to make me look beautiful and thin next time. "Do you think my study of French is useful for my work?" L, who was going to learn French, asked me. "Forget it. Just learn." This is my answer. Human imagination is limited, but the world is infinite. You never know what you will encounter when you take this step, so I prefer those who do what they want. Do it. You won't get lucky lying at home. The lives of most of us do not rise to the level of decision-making, but to the level of driving force. People with strong action force also encounter many failures, so you often see the person lying at home laughing at the person who takes action. Look, did you fail? Threeorfive years later, the people who lie at home are still at home. Although the people who go out do not reach the place they originally wanted to reach, they encounter other opportunities by mistake and start a wonderful life beyond the plan. It turns out that the most terrible thing for a person is not to encounter failure, which at least proves that you have been close to success. The most terrible thing is that you can't encounter anything. There is no difference between one day and one year, and there is no difference between ten years and one year.
