At four o'clock in the morning, in the classmate group, Grey took a selfie with a dusty face, with the dark sky and his big truck in the background.
When we were all asleep, he was already on the road, pulling a load of wool, carrying a pot of hot water and boxes of instant noodles to Shanghai.
A few hours later, a classmate praised him, saying that Gray was very capable.
He replied: struggle. I used to be stupid and didn't know how to study hard. Now if I don't work hard, the whole family will drink northwest wind.
A particularly honest fact.
I looked at it and sighed a little.
This travel-stained middle-aged man is the man of the hour in our class? The monitor, who is handsome and especially smart, is the kind of person who can get an A without hard work.
Unfortunately, the more people learn, the less they like to learn.
At first, Gray's aunt was our headmaster, and she paid close attention to him. He is still very serious and basically stays in the top few. Occasionally, I fell down, was scolded by my aunt, and went up again.
Later, when his aunt transferred to another school, he became presumptuous and often skipped classes and played games. On one occasion, he lost all his schoolbags and had to borrow the textbooks from his deskmate to put them in class.
After graduating from high school, he reluctantly went to a junior college. It is said that he played games for three years and almost didn't get his diploma.
After work, Ash hung around for a few years and changed jobs, but it didn't take long.
It was not until he got married that he got on the right track at the urging of his wife. At first, the husband and wife worked for others together, and gradually had some savings, so they bought a car and ran long-distance delivery. Although it is very hard, the days are getting better and better.
I told my mother yesterday: Gray has changed. He is very capable. I heard that he is going to buy a house. ?
My mother said:? It's so early. With this child's IQ and ability, he has worked hard for a long time, and now there are several villas. ?

My mother was right. The reality is obvious: many students who are far less talented than Gray are now living better than him.
There was a female classmate who got average grades in school and didn't talk much. Some teachers don't remember teaching her.
She seldom talks now, because she is too busy to show her face in front of her classmates several times a year. But we all know that she is a heavyweight? The only doctor among our classmates is now a climate expert, who lectures, investigates and attends international conferences all over the world all the year round.
Last time she came back, we were together. The teacher in charge of the class is very pleased and praises her for her Excellence, which is the pride of teachers, classmates and schools.
She smiled. As you know, I have no talent and I work hard. When I was a doctor, I learned 1 at night, got up at 5 am, went to a nearby park, watched for an hour, ran two laps, watched for another hour, and ran two laps. My husband keeps calling me? Sister chicken blood? . ?
In fact, she is often too busy to eat now, just like ash, making do with instant noodles from time to time.
Just eating instant noodles and running around, life is very different? Live a completely different life, have a completely different vision, provide a completely different value and get a completely different return.
Although it's not shameful that Big Ash, who drives a truck, also lives by working, if he can work hard earlier, he will certainly create greater value and have a more brilliant life.

In fact, people's growth has a timetable, just like plants, planting in spring, growing in summer, harvesting in autumn, storing in winter, and what to do in any season.
Spring is the season of sowing. You put it off until summer. Although you work hard, the harvest in autumn will certainly not be too good, and you may not be full in winter.
When people are young, their memory, learning ability, curiosity and imagination are at their peak, which is the period with the strongest learning ability. Most people's skills are completed before the age of 30. After the age of 30, it is basically polished and used. If you don't have a good reserve before this, your things will not be enough, and it will be difficult to stand on a higher and wider platform.
The world is a pyramid, and the more people go down, the fiercer the competition and the harder the struggle. Just like Grey, if you work hard in the early stage, master enough professional skills and keep expanding, you may be a top talent now. Teachers, classmates, the pride of the school? That's him. But he missed the best opportunity. Without a good knowledge and skill reserve, he can only do jobs with low requirements for professional skills. There are many people who do these things. You can only work harder and harder and achieve a little success.
It is the same effort and struggle. Doing it at the right time will get twice the result with half the effort Once you miss the best opportunity, you have to make more efforts, and the result may not be as you wish.

We often see other inspiring examples.
Grandma Moses began painting at the age of 76 and held a solo exhibition at the age of 80.
Grandpa Harlan from KFC? Sandoz opened the first KFC restaurant at the age of 62.
?
There are always many stories telling us that it is never too late to start life.
However, please note: Grandma Moses is very talented in painting; Grandpa KFC had studied fried chicken for many years before he opened KFC.
Most late bloomers have talent, luck and accumulated background, which are often hard to find.
For more people:
First of all, we may not have Grandma Moses's talent. If so, wouldn't it be better to work hard and play early?
Second, if there is no effort to accumulate in the early stage, the opportunity may not be grasped at all when it comes.
Third, the world depends not only on the face, but also on the age. For example, the leaders of a unit are often more inclined to train young employees because they have more potential and more training value.
Being a late bloomer is actually a small probability event. Apart from the miracle of Grandpa Grandma Moses and KFC, it was more a mediocre and hard life. Finally, he was depressed and lamented? If you don't work hard, the boss will be sad? Ordinary people.
So-called? Life never begins later. In fact, it is for those who have never really worked hard and want to play their own value and pursue a better life.
Indeed, if you have a desire and motivation in your heart, it's not bad to struggle at the age of 60. After all, as long as you have a chance from the beginning, now is the best time for the rest of your life.
However, it is not too late to start at 60, which does not mean that it is best to start at 60.
If you realize the importance of hard work earlier, from the age of 20 or even earlier, set foot on every upward node and climb and expand, your efforts will certainly get greater returns.
There is no need to insist on when and what height you must reach. After all, everyone has different characteristics and different growth rates. Just like the maturity of cabbage and cherry, you can't use the same standard. However, if you want to get the best harvest, no matter who you are, you should try to absorb sunlight and water, take root and sprout, and strive to grow in the best spring.
It's really hard to return what you stole in spring.
Don't make you work hard tomorrow, blame yourself for wasting your time today.
