To the struggling you

There are good and bad days. When you are in pain, please heal the wound and stand up strong again. After crying, please dry your tears and go. Reconcile with yourself, accept the bleakness in your life calmly, and put them all in yesterday. As long as you are not trapped in the past, the sun will always shine. The future is promising, don't give up.

If you don't do what most people do, they will criticize you; if you do what most people don't do, they will ridicule you. It doesn't mean you're wrong, it just makes them angry when you don't behave like them. As for why they were angry, maybe they wanted to appear right.

Life will reward brave people. Bravery does not mean being reckless, but daring to take the first step towards your goal. When everyone else is doing nothing in your own circle, you are the only one who dares to break through and dare to try. , then you will get what those who hesitate cannot get.

You must know that there are so many talented people in the world, and even they are trying hard to overtake themselves. It's not your talent that makes you stand out, it's your perseverance.

Choosing to be comfortable in your twenties is the greatest cruelty to yourself. The more lazy you are in the early stage of your life, the more likely you are to miss the people and things that make your heart move. Remember, comfort is a stumbling block until your abilities match your ideals. What can be solved with sweat, don't use tears. Start today and go the extra mile!

Laziness can destroy a person, diligence can inspire a person. Don't wait until it is too late to action. Be a person that even yourself envy.

You don't need to tell everyone how you got through those tough days. Most people see how high you are flying, and few people care whether you are tired or not. So, do what you need to do, walk the way you need to go, don't back down, don't waver, no matter how difficult it is, tell yourself to persevere, and don't let you be unworthy of your ambitions and let down everything you've experienced.

What happens when you read often?

1. When a person is thinking, his eyes will become different.

There are many good-looking and beautiful boys and girls in life. When you look at his eyes, his eyes may appear very bright and radiant, but after a long time, it seems that something is missing.

When we communicate with people who read a lot of books, you will find the determined look in their eyes. We will unconsciously think that: This is a person with ideas.

There are also people who don't like to read but love to think and have their own point of view and that is inseparable from their experience.

2. Emits the aura of calmness.

Outsiders see them and the intuitive feeling is quiet.

This should be one of the characteristics and that is to be able to concentrate. (It refers to being able to sit down to read, without conflicting with the daily activity.)

It is because they enjoy alone time, and even solitude. They can sit, read and write for hours. During these hours, It is only him and the book.

Reading also builds the emotional stability and compassion for life.

We should read something that resonates with us spiritually, makes us feel life, and allows us to look at ourselves through the life experiences of others.

That is, something that can make us think, impact our thinking, and form values.

That's what it means to read and think.

This is why everyone recommends famous books because what they write are profound propositions related to life and people.

3. It is easier to grasp the key points.

It can also be said to be able to see the essence of something. People, who read a lot, think a lot, continues to train their logical thinking through reading.

In this way, whether they are speaking or analyzing problems, they can have an overall view and looks at the big picture.

When others are still stuck on who is to blame, he already sort out his thoughts and think of solutions.

It's also comfortable to chat with them, because their logic is clear and easy to understand. Just like for people who dislike mathematics, when they manage to figure out and understand a big problem, they will be very happy and have a sense of accomplishment.

4. Can understand what other people say, and let others understand what he says.

Reading is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to gain knowledge, and then gradually understand the law of the occurrence and development of things, become more aware of human nature, and gain insight into world affairs.

There are people do not read much but are very wise. Note that I said wisdom not quantity of knowledge.

Some people know a lot, but only stay at the surface. Because he only store but do not digest knowledge. Some people do not like to read books, but they have extensive experience and they are equally wise.

The tough part is to digest what you have read and to think and apply practice in your own way.

Reading actually increases your experience.

The one who reads a lot will also put himself into someone else’s shoes. That is to stand on the other side's point of view and answer a question from the point of view so that the other side can understand. For example, when his peers asked him what he was doing, he would say he was doing new media. When he went back to his hometown, his aunt asked him what he was doing, and he would say: write advertisements for others to make money.

5. Not condescending and aggressive.

In fact, people who really read and think a lot will not look down on this or that.

Because the more books you read, the more you realize your own insignificance; the more you realize that people's thoughts are ever-changing, and it is impossible for everyone to be the same as you; the more you will understand that everyone has their own difficulties.

Reading is like drawing a circle. Inside the circle are the books you have read, and outside the circle are the books you have not read. The more you read, the bigger the circle, and the bigger the unknown part outside the circle. We should thrive to read as much as we can.

Are you lost in life?

When a person has no goal and direction, or experiences some failures, he will become more and more confused and demoralized!

There may be times when we have no goals, don’t know what we want, what we can do, or experience some setbacks, being questioned and distrusted by others, making ourselves confused and at a loss! When life is at its lowest point, don't be impatient, rush for success or give up yourself! The more difficult it is, the more you have to calm down, slow down, find out your own shortcomings and improves yourself! If you really don't know what to do, sit down and read. Reading not only allows you to learn more, but also allows you to calm down and face difficulties calmly and change your irritable mood!

Books are actually the best teachers for each of us, and the guiding light for us to move forward. Each of us has started reading since childhood, but very few people really understand it. Why? Because there are not many people who really study hard, only a few people change their destiny through reading, and most people feel that they are not suitable for reading, they are not interested, and they cannot learn it by themselves. This is just an excuse for most of us that’s all, or they gave up before they found their hobby. Of course, reading does not refer to the knowledge in books. When we step into the working world, each of us has to survive. In order to live, we have learned a lot about what we don’t like, what we don’t want, and what we don’t like. , what we hate has finally become our ability to survive! However, these are all forced to do it. Just imagine how many of us are really willing to pick up books and learn by ourselves, maybe very few. Just like when we go to school, how many people like it from the bottom of their hearts and have a clear goal to read, and more people just read for the sake of reading.

Each of us has different ideas, different goals, different hobbies, different positions, and the results of what we do are naturally different. When you are a factory worker, you just need to finish your work and get the money you deserve every month. When you are a farmer, you only need to plant the seeds on time and plant the crops well every year. When you're a boss think about buying more stuff every day to make more money. When you are a manager, you think about how to improve the work efficiency of employees and complete tasks on time every day. The same job, the same environment, some people are getting better and better, and some people are still doing it for a lifetime.

The most important thing for each of us is to understand ourselves first, do you want to live a life of misery, or do you want to make some achievements? Do you want to live a normal life or live a noble life like others! If you want to live poorly, then you don't need to waste these hours thinking about living a good life, and don't envy other people's lives. Live your life down-to-earth, and don't complain about the injustice. If you want to change yourself, you must put in practical actions, don’t be afraid of hardships and fatigue, the effort and the gain are always proportional! If you are thinking every day, but not taking action, it is better to live a normal life and waste so much time! Even if you have a small goal, as long as you take action, then you are halfway there. If you are just pretending, then you are just deceiving yourself and deceiving your life.

Some people work steadily, but there is no substantial change, then you have to think carefully about whether your thinking is wrong, or your approach is wrong! Still not trying hard enough! Or force yourself to do something that you are not interested in at all! If you're in the wrong direction, you'll never reach your destination!
