Basca said: "Man is a reed that can think." The whole motivation for plants in nature is to grow upward, absorb all the nutrients that can be absorbed, and do their best to find sunshine, rain and dew and other things that help life. Similarly, people's motivation for life also comes from upward desires, because we are born with various needs, and in order to satisfy it, we have continuous efforts.
It is an inevitable subconscious hint for everyone. If guided properly, it is a pursuit, a desire from the bottom of the heart, so that we are willing to give, be able to take responsibility, and at the same time pass various tests of reality. If you are suppressed, you will often be worse than death and you will do nothing all your life. What is upward? It is the expectation and realization of a better self, the requirements and practice of a higher quality of life, such as going to a larger city, entering a better circle, enjoying a better life, having a bigger house and more expensive car, gaining a higher position of power, or just becoming more beautiful, having better virtue and richer spiritual life, etc. Driven by this inner heart, we will do what we can do or not; we choose to persist in situations where we can persist or not.
An elder I know is such a person. He reached an enviable position from the bottom of society, without relying on relationships or having a good education. So why did he rely on? He relied on his passion, some talent, a little persistence and continuous efforts.
He is particularly able to endure hardships and bow his head. He must complete the things assigned by his superiors beautifully no matter what. Of course, there will be many grievances, misunderstandings and embarrassments, but he doesn't care. He once said: "What I care about is that I can live a good life and make my family live a better life." It is this strong desire to grow upward, like a whip, always whipping him, telling him that only by constantly moving upward can we get more sunshine and grow better.
Everything he has now is not easy to get. He has to do a lot of things that others disdain to do. He will face greater pressure and challenges. It may take him longer to reach the starting point of others and chase forward a little bit. His pain and tears can only be swallowed into his stomach.
At the beginning, he had to make 200 calls a day, facing various reactions from people on the other end, including abuse and insults. His , Mandarin is not good, and he has been criticized by name. He practices word by word, record and corrects it. Because of his limited professionalism, once the product with a slightly complicated explanation is full of loopholes, he summarizes the commonly used words and memorizes them word by word. He once ran in the scorching sun and waited in the cold winter... He was like a tree growing upwards, getting closer to his ideal life little by little. Now, he no longer needs to look at other people's faces, rent a basement with steamed buns and pickles to save money, or he does not need to be exhausted for business and ignore his health... He can live easily and healthily because he already has enough capital.
mentions the past, and he doesn't care too much about the reality that others seem too cruel. People always have various desires and goals at different stages. When we devote ourselves to it, this hard work will become a glorious time worth cherishing, and our hearts will be much pure and happy. The power of this desire is so great that the problem seems so small that it even makes people ignore the hardships of the process.
Only when you want everything, you will think of getting it and strive for it at all costs.
Many excellent young people around me are all with strong desire to make a career. They either want to be rooted in the prosperity of big cities, or want to reach the pinnacle of a certain field, or want to return home after years of glory, or just want to have a proof... I don't know if this desire can lead them to the success they hope for, but I believe that if it is strong enough, it can at least help them endure many difficulties they can't imagine.
We all have this experience. When the electric vehicle's power indicator points to the lack of electricity, as long as we pedal hard and find the right angle, it may still take us to our destination. Many times, what we need is this attitude of "no matter how you go to the limit". This spirit that all things have prepared for me. Whenever I need to awaken more energy and cheer up, I stand up for myself, do my best and move forward all the way, as if nothing can stop us from achieving our goals, creating miracles, and achieving victory!
As for the setbacks in the pursuit process, they are inevitable and must be overcome. As long as we can persevere, even if the difficulties are as huge as mountains and rocks, they can still be ground.
What's more, we now have the best physical strength, the most flexible brain, the most unwilling feet and the most restless heart, and there is still plenty of time. I really can't think of a reason to stop. We are not afraid of failure, difficulties, or hardships. Even tears seem particularly touching. We should embrace all of these, regardless of the good or bad, so that they can polish us better.
After all, we do not measure time with ticking clocks, but use our experiences to define our life. During the process of growing up, it is not enough to have enthusiasm alone. To accomplish and do well, you also need to withstand temptations, to withstand loneliness, and not to care about the noise outside; you also need to be persistent and persistent in research. Go upward, not downward.
legend George Marlowry once said: "If you can't understand, people have a complex. They have to face the challenges of the mountain and go out to meet it. This struggle is the eternal struggle of life, upward, and upward, then you will never understand why we climb the mountain."
So, dear, don't look back and forth, don't be afraid of weakness. For that desire, we can take on everything and achieve everything. If there is anything worth looking forward to in life, it comes from challenges, love in the heart, and the inspiration and growth brought by meeting the future.
As long as we can muster up the courage, listen to the call in our hearts, and do our best to contribute and strive for it, then we can have a deeper understanding of how grand life is and how powerful we are, and we can benefit. Life is tireless because of youth; it is fearless because of upward. This is the meaning of life.
