The miracle of life: a fish that can swim back
Many times, our time is spent in idleness, and then there are memories, and memories will also take up a lot of our time, especially in life after the age of 30, memories fill every crevice of our body, and it seems that only memories can support us to live. Most people's lives are still unremarkable after 30 years, and only a few people's lives are full of fantasy. So should we stand in place and remember, the good times of youth, and recall the stupid things we have done are to forget all the past and stride forward, because at the age of 30, we have just matured, and at the age of 30, we are just right. But the time without memories will be too boring, so it is necessary to move forward, and it is good to recall, and learn to face the road ahead in the memories.
Many years ago, I was an ordinary salesperson, carrying several thick magazines every day, running around Beijing, trying to find various ways to show customers the beauty of this magazine, and at the same time getting used to discovering many interesting things every day. I still remember that it was a newly opened planning company, although there were not many people, but the location was not bad, in a certain office building in Wangfujing, a room of more than ten square meters. As the only magazine in the industry that is close to the general public and has a good reputation, I naturally became a frequent visitor here, this company is no different from other homes, all have lofty ideals, and also have the desire to serve customers, the only thing that I remember is that there is a fish tank on the coffee table at the door, which has a large goldfish, the reason why I am impressed is that the first time I saw that there was only one fish in the fish tank, and in the goldfish, it should be regarded as a relatively large one I have seen. Every time I visited, I would sit in front of her while waiting, and although I didn't know whether the fish was male or female, I assumed that she was a beautiful fish, because she was a very graceful swimmer, and sometimes she would stop and look at me quietly. She has a pair of lantern-like eyes and a red robe, as if to say, "Welcome." Curiosity about her made me look forward to the company. Maybe she brought me good luck, and after a few negotiations, I won the cooperation for half a year. When I confirmed the manuscript, I came here again, the front hall of the company was empty, it was very quiet, I excitedly ran over to say hello to the big fish, and found that she was motionless with her belly up, no different from dead, I was frightened and hurriedly called someone.
Xiaowen is the assistant planner here, heard my cry, hurriedly walked out of the workshop, I pointed to the fish tank: "Is she dead?" ”。 Xiaowen laughed, and I said, "She's dead, why are you still laughing!" Xiaowen didn't answer, came to the fish tank, tapped it gently, and saw her turn around, which was normal. She often plays like this, other people's fish are most afraid of backstroke, but our family likes backstroke! Xiaowen explained with a smile. A fish that can backstroke is really amazing, the world is so big, for most of the fish, belly up means the disappearance of vital signs, but this fish does not care at all, but does not know when to learn the backstroke, and enjoys this happiness peacefully. Looking at her spirited appearance, I felt a little in my heart.
For fish, it is a blessing to be able to survive in the sea; If you can only spend your life in a small fish tank, the best way is to find your own fun, and make the boring, boring world different because of your own way.
We are like fish to survive in a large social environment, confined to the rules of 8 hours a day, we often complain, the daily work is boring, often complain that the pressure makes us old, what is the difference between us and the fish living in the fish tank, maybe the fish tank we live in is bigger? However, the fish are different, such as the goldfish who learns to swim backstroke, I believe that her world will be different, although she lives in the same environment every day, but when the body is reversed, she sees the world above her head, which is more expansive, and that is when she is most happy.
So should we also learn from her, be a fish that learns to swim back, and look at the world we live in from a different angle, maybe our eyes are always unforgettable memories, but above our heads is the vast sky. Even day after day, the sun is different every day, as long as you are willing to turn around or turn around, every day will be different.
Later, this company became my annual visa customer, the company moved from a small office to the creative park, and the number of people has increased I don't know how many times, the only thing that has not changed is the fish tank and the fish, she will still turn around from time to time to play, and has surprised many people, I think maybe she brought good luck to this company, and also brought good luck to everyone who has seen her, many years have passed, I don't know how she is, whether she still lives in that small world, I only know, once she let me learn to experience monotony in life, When you are bored, try to turn around and turn around, and everything is different.
