British Renaissance writer Bacon once said: "Life is like a road, and the shortest shortcut is usually the worst."
Life is long, and no one can finish this road smoothly. Everyone must have thought of taking shortcuts on the way. After all, most people think that shortcuts are an easier way to take.
One.
Suppose that there are two ways to reach the top of the mountain at a certain scenic spot: one is to go up by a sightseeing elevator, but because there are too many people, you need to queue for two hours.
The other is to climb up on your own, and you can enjoy the scenery along the way.
If it were you, which one would you choose?
I think most people will choose to wait for the elevator. Then let's take a look at the final result?
The people who climbed up the mountain felt very comfortable when they reached the top of the mountain. They were happily discussing what they saw and heard along the way.
The people who took the elevator up, complained: the waiting time is too long, the elevator is too crowded, the air is not ventilated, it turns out that there is nothing beautiful on the mountain, and time is wasted.
You see, this is the gap, the choice is different, the result is very different.
In today's society, too many people want to choose a comfortable way of life. But one thing is overlooked: if you think so, others will think so.
In the end, the shortcut most people think makes you go with the flow without getting inner satisfaction and joy.
People who didn't choose a shortcut have a smooth journey. Not only did they reach the end early, but the process was also full of rewards.
Two.
In life, there is no one way to go in vain. Every step counts. Think about it, is it such a thing?
Those who are down-to-earth and walk out of life on their own, step by step, are they more determined and firm?
looks back at the athletes standing on the podium at each Olympic Games. Which of their medals was not exchanged for their sweat, tears or even blood?
diving athlete Guo Jingjing , has won many honors for our country. But actually diving is a very dangerous sport. Before falling into the water, the head touches the ground first, so the head is the most impacted part. Due to continuous training, Guo Jingjing's retina detaches. Although she has undergone surgery, her vision is barely enough. Reaches 0.2. Sun Yang, the swimming prince of
, has been training underwater for a long time, and the fingerprints on his hands have been worn out, which also caused a lot of difficulties in daily life, not to mention that his childhood training has made him completely without childhood. Time.
The famous boxer Zou Shiming has also won many awards in the field of boxing. But as a boxer, injuries are commonplace. The boxing ring is like a battlefield. Because of frequent injuries, Zou Shiming's left eye vision is only 0.1, which is close to blindness. There are many similar cases in
. As the masses of people who eat melons, they may be more concerned about their honor and aura. For example: Guo Jingjing married into a wealthy family, Zou Shiming attracted countless gold, Sun Yang moved to the entertainment industry and so on.
However, how many people have paid attention to the hardships and setbacks they have experienced along the way. Do they have a shortcut to fame?
Which medal is not exchanged for a drop of sweat, injury time after time, every minute and every second?
Three.
Zweig has a famous saying: "All gifts given by fate have already been secretly priced." This sentence of
was used to comment on Marie Antoinette in his biography "Queen of the Decapitation".
Marie Antoinette was originally an Austrian princess, she became the crown prince of France at the age of 14, and she became the French king at the age of 18. Her husband loves her very much, so she builds palaces, holds banquets, and sings songs every night.
Marie Antoinette’s brother persuaded his sister and said to her: "You are now the Queen of France. Can you read an hour a day? It is not difficult."
Mary said to her brother: "I don't like reading, I like to enjoy life".
Twenty years later, Marie Antoinette went to the guillotine and was called guillotinequeen. In the biography
Zweig wrote to her, she mentioned her early luxury life, and said with great emotion: "She was too young at the time to know that all the gifts given by fate had already been secretly marked."
Don't think that you can get anything easily. Everything in life requires your effort and price. Even if you can get something easily, you will have to pay the price in the end.

Most young people in today's society have less pressure in life; living too easy makes them lack of responsibility. For what you want, I would rather choose a shortcut than get it through my own efforts.
For example: Internet loans and credit loans that have been popular in the past two years. Money is easy, but the price to be paid is doubled. The
media reported that how many young people missed out because of online loans every year, which led to the fragmentation of many families. These costs are exchanged for so-called shortcuts.
But the shortcuts you understand, the shortcuts you make for it, is it really the best way to go?
The ten-thousand-foot tall building rises on the ground, only the foundation is firmly established, and no matter what height it reaches in the future, it will not feel overwhelming. This is not only confidence, but also self-confidence, affirmation and certainty of oneself.
life is like this, work is like this, life is like this.
Shi Hanbing once said: "Children nowadays often suffer from Chinese headaches. In fact, it is not difficult to learn Chinese. The accumulation of reading itself will improve the level of appreciation and the ability to control words in a subtle way. If you don’t read , And to learn Chinese like English, the result can only be speaking but not writing, because only reading can really affect the sense of language and improve the expression and layout of words. Besides, there are no shortcuts.".
So, I want to say: "Don’t care about who you will become, as long as every step you take is solid and unwavering. One day in the future, when you look back, despite the ups and downs, But full of strength and wisdom".
One of the happiest things in the world is that after a lot of effort, everything is becoming what you want.
