When I was practicing calligraphy in elementary school, I had to carry an ink bottle to my teacher’s house on weekends. The bottle was not tightened tightly, and the ink stained all the stationery in the bag. So I got sulky and felt that calligraphy was too annoying, difficult to learn and would cause trouble. I didn't want to go after learning it for a few days.
Later, when I was in high school, I couldn’t get the ideal score for my Chinese composition. I asked the teacher why, and he said, “The writing is good, but the handwriting is a bit ugly.” When the school organized an essay competition, the teacher He even took the initiative to suggest to me, "After you finish writing, find a classmate who can read it for you, otherwise the possibility of winning is very small."
When I was taking the driver's license test as a sophomore, my instructor had a very bad temper. Well, I was scolded and cried twice, and my IQ was humiliated N times. I was angry with myself and said I would study again after a while, but then I simply stopped going to driving school. Now that I am about to graduate, I still don’t have a driver’s license. When I return home for the Chinese New Year, taxis in the small city where I live do not use meters during the Spring Festival. For a journey of 10 yuan, they can charge as much as 30 yuan without getting stuck. My family is busy and I have an idle car at home, but I can’t drive it, so I can only hail a taxi and deliver it to my door to rip off customers.
There are also the half-finished swimming, the art of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, and the words "I'll memorize it tomorrow"... They all jumped out to embarrass me at an unexpected moment later. "Karma" is really an ever-lasting truth, and all laziness will turn into a slap in the face.
When decorating a new home, some of the furniture is handmade. When the carpenter was working at my house, the door was open for ventilation. An old man who was visiting relatives at a neighbor's house came in specially to watch.
The old man said that he still regrets that he did not learn to be a carpenter back then. It turned out that when he was young, he studied carpentry with an old master, but he felt that it was too precise and troublesome, and he even cut his hand, so he was unwilling to learn. Next, the old man wanted to do some easy and simple work, so he went to the coast to work with his relatives.
But the old man has no special skills. He went to construction sites where bricks were moved, and to factories with assembly lines. After more than ten years of busy work, he still could not settle down in a big city, so he had to go back to his hometown to do some small business.
My friends who once studied carpentry with me have now become respectable local craftsmen and even opened their own furniture manufacturing factories. And he could only stand at the door of a stranger, admiring others "displaying" the technology he had given up on.
I remember Cai Kangyong wrote: When you were 15 years old, you found swimming difficult and gave up swimming. When you were 18 years old and met someone you liked and asked you to go swimming, you had to say "I can't do it." When you were 18 years old, you found English difficult and gave up on English. When you were 28 years old, a great job came up but it required you to know English, so you had to say, "I can't do it."
The more troublesome you are in the early stages of life and the less lazy you are to learn, the more likely you are to miss the people and things that interest you later in life and the new scenery.
I now deeply feel that this is a "truth". If you are lazy when losing weight, you will only be sulking at your own fat when the streets are full of skinny legs in the summer. When you are lazy in school, when your classmates are admitted to prestigious schools and companies one by one, you can only complain in the middle of the night about not being recognized for your talents.
All laziness will turn into a slap in the face. I don't know how to persuade a lazy person to change his ways. I only know that a slap in the face will hurt, and a swollen face will make him ugly.
