But the reality is more, although we work in tall office buildings, we are just migrant workers with words, as small as a grain of dust. As the saying goes, life is more about the present, and each of us is just an ordinary individual.
The day before yesterday, the company held its annual meeting. There are four or five hundred people in the huge venue. Every colleague who takes the stage to perform or receive the prize has his own light, which is dazzling and bright. At that time, they were the focus of the whole meeting. We admire their talents and respect their abilities.
However, after the annual meeting, they returned to their ordinary lives, with endless work and countless daily necessities. Most people spend most of their time in the ordinary, and only a few times bring their own light.
So those excellent people, are they always so glamorous and won't go ordinary?
For those celebrities who can only be found on Baidu, looking at their excellent resumes, they have their own light and are different. I always feel that they are not ordinary people, and every day must be excellent and unique.
When I really came into contact with them one day, I found that although they were excellent and attractive in the eyes of the public, they were more ordinary and unremarkable in their own lives.
Mo, the founder of my last job, has always been an excellent boss. Usually we can only see him on Baidu or the company brochure, but when he personally went to various branches to preach about the company's transformation, I saw the boss's worries and worries.
I deeply feel that although he exists like a god in the hearts of our employees, he is also a mortal. If he leaves his career, he will return to life itself, more ordinary.
Once I interviewed a famous ceramic sculptor, I asked him, "What makes you stick to your heart to make ceramics in an increasingly impetuous society?" The teacher replied, "I majored in ceramics when I was a student." It seems that I don't know what else I can do except make ceramics. "
The teacher's answer is simple. Although he is now a master, ceramic sculptures are collected by many museums at home and abroad, but more often, he is creating ordinary things, not glamorous as we think.
Since life is relatively dull, how should ordinary days be spent?
Some people say that life is too short. Since life is more dull, don't dream of challenging life itself, but eat, drink and be merry in time.
However, some people say that people's ultimate destination is dull, but I don't want my life to remain unchanged, but I want to be colorful, work hard and live my own big life in ordinary days, which is also a way of life I agree with.
Xiaojun is my college friend and grew up in Wuhan. Originally, she could live a comfortable life in Wuhan, but she chose to go to Beijing to drift north. She said people would think differently in that place. She likes that environment, makes progress every day and works hard for her goals.
She likes English and practices English listening every day. She likes sports and takes time out to run every day. Her life is rich and colorful. Although she is now working hard in Beijing alone, facing all kinds of trivial things in life, every day is ordinary and ordinary, but every time I chat with her, she is always full of positive energy and describes her life to me, which is rich and lush. I know that although the days are ordinary, there is always light in her eyes, which makes me feel that she is different from others.
Some people say that she stays in a big city and can bring her own light in ordinary days; But I stayed in a small city and could only live an ordinary life without any light, but you were wrong. In a small city, we can also live a bright and splendid life.
My college friend and fellow villager Ding Xiaoyu returned to work in his hometown Yichang after graduation. At first, she thought that this girl would be stable and get married and have children soon, but this girl has been trying to do many impossible things in a leisurely way. She works hard on weekdays and travels whenever she has a holiday. At present, she has covered more than half of China.
On weekends, she usually bakes bread at home, learns cooking at home and swims in the gym. The girl's life is colorful. Recently, she told me that she was learning to drive and planned to open a bun shop in her spare time and ask someone for help.
So many times, the city is not the reason to stop us from doing what we want to do. As long as there is light in our hearts and there is always hope for life, we can always find the joy of life in ordinary days and then bring our own light.
Others say that young people are not under pressure. How can people who get married, have children and start a family always have light in ordinary days?
What I want to say is that in ordinary days, we don't have to do anything different to bring us light, but despite ordinary life, we are still full of hope and optimistic about life.
My grandmother, a very great old man, left early. When she was young, she supported a family on her own. When I was old, I went to work without telling my children. Although life is always full of hardships and difficulties, she never bowed to fate and lived positively and optimistically. That kind of light makes our children full of emotion and respect forever.
Although grandma can't read, she works at sunrise and lives a very simple and ordinary life, but her spirit always touches us. For such an old man, we have more respect and admiration, and at the same time we can feel that she is different.
My mother is very hardworking and pragmatic. She is working while others are working. Others are playing cards and she is working; While others are resting, she is still working; When I was young, I always thought about her hard work, and the days were still so ordinary. What is the significance of this?
Later, I learned that it was because of her diligence and pragmatism that I had the opportunity to study and buy what I liked, and I was often not so poor. ...
Now my mother is 60 years old, and she is as hardworking and pragmatic as before. Her life is simple, ordinary, repetitive and monotonous, but she still works hard actively and optimistically, which has been deeply infecting me. Whenever I encounter difficulties, I think of her efforts and attitude, and I instantly regain my confidence in life.
At the same time, I also deeply realize that although life is ordinary, we live positively and optimistically, without complaining, abandoning or giving up. This is the greatest light of life, which will make our life different.
May you and I always have light in ordinary days and live what we want.
