34 chess pieces
Life is like Go, not chess.
This is the most desirable sentence that Wang Fucheng has heard recently.
He also believes that his life is about Go, not chess.
Because he feels that his life is not a car, a horse, a cannon, nor a soldier, but an ordinary black and white chess piece.
He also thinks that the people around him are also Go, and like himself, there is no freedom and no final direction in this chessboard of life.
But the appearance of a person seems to overturn the saying that life is like Go.
And that person is an ordinary salesperson who recently joined the company.
He was a few years older than himself, and like himself, he didn't seem to have much desire.
He is not married, has not had children, and does not seem to have much cost of living, but why does he work more carefully than himself?
I can be regarded as an old man in this company, I joined the company at the age of 24, and it has been four years now.
The company is not big, because it is doing traditional industries. In this Internet age, it is already weak.
Coupled with the current economic downturn, it is difficult to survive.
This also leads to the fact that almost a realistic young man like him, no one would think that this company can become big and go public.
And those who have fantasies are middle-aged.
Obviously, the years have taught them countless painful lessons.
But why have they become even more "naïve" than these young people?
Is it because of responsibility? Because of family?
Or is it because of something he doesn't know?
He looked at the group of "greasy" middle-aged uncles boredly, and his eyes were full of envy.
He wants to be as passionate and enthusiastic as they are!
But his intellect told him clearly.
Passion, passion is often exchanged for pain.
After all, on the Internet, too many people who have failed to start a business have told their generation of young people with their practical experiences.
Don't have illusions about the future.
After all, on the Internet, those so-called live and transparent, highly educated bloggers have warned them more than once about this group of young people.
The world sucks, so bad that they don't need to struggle, so bad that they have to recognize reality.
For a morning, the palace city was rotten.
In his cognition, since he is just an inconsequential black and white chess piece, what reason does he have to struggle.
Chess pieces, you just need to do your part.
Although he didn't know Go, and he didn't know much about chess, he knew that it was both Go and Xiangqi.
Every chess piece at the beginning cannot determine the final outcome of a game.
Only the superposition of one piece after another can see the approximate outcome of this game.
Life is really hard.
Although he hadn't done anything in the morning, just sitting here and taking a few phone calls made him feel tired.
And those middle-aged people, why do they have so much energy?
Watch them go in and out, watch them pour tea and hand out water to customers who come to consult.
Look at them with a smile on their faces, look at their lowered backs.
He was terrified, terrified that he would one day be like this.
Of course, what frightened him even more was that these middle-aged men didn't seem to feel ashamed.
They don't feel that their actions are like negative teaching materials in the eyes of these young people.
They all seemed to be proud of something.
Are you proud to have customers today?
Or are you proud that today is better than yesterday?
It's just a chess piece, why, someone can work so hard as a chess piece?
