Chapter 52: A Life-Changing Conversation!
"Once you go to school in other places, it is easy to be obsessed with the public, especially in central cities like Yanjing and Shanghai, even if you graduate with excellent grades and want to find a good job, it is difficult, because you are competing with graduate students, doctoral students, returnees, and more excellent graduates from prestigious universities than you, if you want to settle down, it will be more difficult, so you have an 80% chance that you will still return to Jiangcheng, rather than this, it is better to stay in Jiangcheng directly, with my help, at least your future will be much smoother.
Of course, you may be unconvinced, and you will say that many people who go to the central city are not as good as you, why can they stand firm and succeed, but you can't? And if you go outside, even if you have to come back, isn't it also a kind of experience that broadens your horizons?
But I want to tell you as a person who has come before, society is far more cruel than you think, you only see the success of those people, but you can't see how much effort and sacrifice have to be paid behind those so-called successful people.
And, did they really succeed?
The most important thing is that through this period of contact, I can see that you are a person with no ambitions, kind, mellow, and ...... who have no concept of money. ”
Wang Chen was suddenly unhappy, why don't I have any interest?
I'm a teenager who is so open-minded, will I be unproductive?
But after thinking about it carefully, Wang Chen lost his temper, because he found that Uncle Yan analyzed it very well, and he really had no ambitions.
Even if he has a desire artifact, he really has no other lofty ideals except for wanting the title of the gold list to fight for himself and his parents.
Perhaps his biggest dream is to get into a good university, then find a good job, don't worry about money, marry a beautiful daughter-in-law, have a pair of children, and his parents are healthy and healthy, so that he will be content.
In fact, he is the kind of person who is rich and secure.
This is the inherent values formed by the factors of the family environment, as well as his character.
After all, he used to be a fat man with no strengths, cowardice and incompetence......
Seeing that he was a little lost, Yan Shounian paused for a while, gave him enough time to think, and then said seriously: "I'm not saying that your psychology of being rich and safe is wrong, it's just that I can't agree." In my opinion, life in the world, you have to live a worthwhile life, there is no old saying 'people fight for a breath of Buddha to receive a stick of incense', if you are not virtuous and incompetent, I will not force you, and I will not even say this, but you are different, in my eyes, you are much stronger than the average teenager, and we have a fateful acquaintance, I naturally have higher requirements for you.
Don't say it's too empty, just talk about reality, do you want to honor your parents in the future, do you want to marry a wife and have children? Do these need money? And where does the money come from, do you have to earn it yourself? ”
Wang Chen was embarrassed: "But I haven't gone to college yet, isn't making money or something that should be considered after graduating from college?" ”
"Confused! You have no money and no power, you have already lost at the starting line, if you don't work hard and improve early, what do you use to compete with others? Earn enough money? What do you do to make yourself happy? Yan Shounian's tone was a little aggravated: "If the young man doesn't work hard, the boss is sad, don't you understand this truth?" And I didn't say that you should go out and make money now, and you won't make any money, I'm telling you to prepare for the future from now on, and don't go with the flow and get by, understand?
In life, not to mention benefiting the world and bringing value to others, at least you must live a worthwhile life, so that you will not come to this world in vain. ”
……
Wang Chen didn't know how he got home, he was in a daze, he even forgot to buy breakfast for the two lazy goods, and his mind was full of criticism and education for the year.
Because no one had ever told him that.
Maybe everyone treats him as a child, except for the cold and warmth, that is, let him study hard and improve every day.
Of course, he was indeed a child.
But today, Uncle Yan did not treat him as a child, but as an adult, and bluntly said the cruelty of reality and his many shortcomings, which made him deafening, a little confused, and a little enlightened, but more than that, it was self-introspection.
In the past, he was just a cowardly fat man who was nothing, but now, he is an open-hanging boy with an artifact of desire, does that mean that his thoughts should also be sublimated? Can't live as you used to think?
If he is still the same person back then, even if there is no incident with Shen Lu, with his understanding of himself, the trajectory of his life should be: take the second university, mix in the university for four years, maybe find a not so beautiful girl as a couple, and then break up after graduation, find a job that is not high in salary and are not interested, maybe stay in the city where the university is located, let the parents spend their life savings to buy a wedding house, marry and have children with girlfriends who make do with each other, of course, if you are lucky, you will find a partner who loves each other, but then you have to pay for the mortgage, children are tired from running around, and they live like this for the rest of their lives.
Or, when you return to your hometown, find a relatively stable job, be arranged by your family on a blind date, get married for the sake of getting married, and have the help of your family, life will not be stressful, but is this kind of life what you want?
No, by no means!
If it had been before, even if it wasn't, he would have accepted his fate.
But now, he is an open boy, and he has the ability to change that mediocre and tasteless fate.
So Uncle Yan is right, even if he doesn't have a desire artifact, he shouldn't be unmotivated and live a good life.
Because whether it is to marry a satisfactory wife, or to be financially free, or to be filial to one's parents, it seems that the wish is very small, but it is difficult to achieve it.
Wives want to be beautiful and love each other, if they are nothing, how can it be?
Economic freedom, how much is economic freedom?
How can filial piety be called filial piety to one's parents?
Only when you become strong, only when you have money, can you achieve these things one by one.
And at that time, if you have other wishes, it is not impossible to achieve them.
Not to mention that he still has a desire artifact.
What he didn't dare to think about before, he can think about now.
What others dare not do, he may not be able to achieve in the future.
Dare to think and dare to do, everything is possible.
If you don't even dare to think about it, what is the difference between life and a salted fish?
……
As he became more and more enlightened, Wang Chen's eyes became brighter and brighter.
After eating two low-grade spiritual fruits, his mind was no longer what it used to be.
Before, it wasn't that he didn't understand these truths, but he hadn't thought about them at all.
But Uncle Yan's words today were like a key that opened his closed mind, allowing his mind to finally free himself and soar freely.
"Uncle Yan, thank you, just look at it, my ambition is inflated, and even I feel scared!" Wang Chen muttered confidently.
I'm afraid that even Yan Shounian himself can't predict what kind of evil his whim enlightenment will bring to mankind and even the earth.
Years later, he found out and was proud!
