In life and work, it is the wisest choice not to be demanding, to accept unfair facts, and to treat them with a normal heart.
Anne is a middle-aged lady who has been having a hard time working and living. Once, she was introduced to a professional writer as an editor. The writer agreed with her that she would be paid according to the amount of work, and that she would be paid a dollar for each manuscript edited. Because of the large amount of content to be edited and her lack of experience, it took Anne nearly ten days to finish a manuscript. She felt that she had suffered too much, so she complained to the writer: "Don't you think you are being paid too little? ”
The writer said unhappily: "What do you think is fair according to a number?" ”
Anne asked for a time-based pay, $25 per hour. The writer agrees. When Anne finished writing her second novel, she realized that something was wrong again. It turned out that when she wrote her first novel, it took ten days because she had no experience and put in a lot of ineffective labor. Now it's much faster, it only took two days to finish the second part, so I only got $750. She was extremely unbalanced and asked to change the way she was paid.

"The writer suspended Anne's job, and she was once again unemployed.
Life does have its unfair side, absolute fairness does not exist, and the world is not created according to the principle of fairness. If we encounter something unfair, don't complain all day long, in fact, it is useless to complain, he will not change your situation in the slightest, and it will only increase your troubles in vain.
Nature has an imbalance in nature, for example, leopards eat wolves, wolves eat badgers, badgers eat rats, and rats eat ...... One only has to look at nature to understand that these are always unfair to the weak who are threatened, the strong survive, the weak perish, the survival of the fittest, there is no fairness at all.
Life may not be as good as we think, and it is biased in the treatment of everyone. Some people have been very smooth since they were born, everything is smooth sailing, there are no ups and downs, and their careers and marriages are envied by others; But some people are destined to be unlucky from birth, career setbacks, hardships in life, and emotional frustration are all bothering him, and sometimes even small plans are difficult to realize. Actually, this is normal life. In fact, there will always be certain differences between people. If someone else's situation is better than yours, then no matter how much you complain, you will not change your own situation.
Some people say: fairness is the fairness of the strong. There is some truth to this. Fairness does not ask others to give you, we strive to be strong. In ancient and modern times, many geniuses can rationally recognize this. They don't demand fairness, they strengthen themselves, and they stand out from the complaints of ordinary people. As long as we can calm down, not be entangled by it, and not let it become a rope to control ourselves, unfairness will naturally slowly turn into fairness. You don't have a good family background, but after a long period of tenacious efforts, you finally got outstanding results, which is from unfair to fair; You didn't get a job title this time, but you endured it and started by improving your work, and finally you became the sole leader of the company, which also changed from unfair to fair.
In fact, there is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world, and you can never find absolute fairness if you look for it like you are looking for myths and legends.
There will always be unsatisfactory errors on the balance of pay and return, and the painstaking pursuit may only be exchanged for a body of exhaustion, and the sweat is not always exchanged for the expected harvest. Why should you dwell on unfairness? One of the reasons why people's psyche is often hurt is the demand that everything must be fair. In fact, there is no absolute fairness in the world, so we don't have to hold a fair ruler to measure everything.
