40 Compromise
How can ordinary people's lives be so smooth sailing.
This is a truth that chess players only realized at the age of 50.
Sometimes I have to say that the experience and wisdom brought by age will always make an ordinary person who does not believe in fate slowly begin to believe in fate.
It has been said that faith is compromise.
In fact, there is some truth in this statement.
After all, most ordinary people's lives are compromises, compromises work, life, family, and finally themselves.
Obviously, most people still have a faint flame in their hearts when they reach middle and old age, but looking at this unpredictable era and the family members around them, they can only helplessly extinguish the fire in their hearts and bow their heads for the sake of life.
He also often thought about a question when he knew the destiny of heaven, that is, whether there was any possibility for a person like him to succeed.
He has succeeded, and after all, his father, grandfather, and grandfather are all farmers with loess backs to the sky, and only his generation has changed its fate by studying, not only buying a house in the capital, but also having its own family in the capital.
Compared to his childhood playmates, he is already very successful. Although he has experienced several major failures in his life, he still has a company, which can be said to be a small successful boss.
I can be regarded as changing my life against the sky, and going further, it's actually just the desire in my heart that I didn't want to be willing to be subordinated to when I was young.
But now, even if he is working hard, leading by example, and working hard, it is difficult for his company to return to the most glorious moment before.
Those young people who are younger than themselves and more active than themselves, they are the protagonists of this era.
But even if I figure out these things, I still don't want to compromise in my heart.
He knows that he is old, his energy and physical strength are not as good as before, and his thinking is not as active as before, and even the business vision that he was once proud of can only be said to be ordinary now.
But he still works strictly with himself every day.
All this may also be because he is a man who does what he says.
Many years ago, when he was in high spirits, he promised his employees that if they followed him well, he would definitely let each of them buy a house and a car in the capital.
However, he is far from fulfilling this promise, so he has to work, he has to give up compromises, and he has to take the company further.
Perhaps it was also too much pressure that made this man, who is only in his fifties this year, look like he is seventy.
He was still in the company, and although it was past the end of the day, he was used to leaving the company at eleven o'clock.
I don't know when this era has been, overtime has become the norm, ninety-nine-six is already magical enough, and big and small weeks have become a new term of the times.
Fortunately, this chess friend doesn't like to let employees work overtime, after all, those employees who have been with him for a long time have families and children.
He also knows that it is not easy for middle-aged people, and instead of squeezing their few rests, it is better to let them go home early and continue to work energetically the next day.
However, this behavior of chess players is also incompatible.
They also advised him that people nowadays like to work overtime because they have an income for overtime, and in this era of higher and higher cost of living, everyone is eager for higher wages.
They also said that this is one of the few opportunities for young people, and that they are just wasting their time when they come home from work anyway, and it is better to play a role in the company.
But this chess friend smiled, he said that he is a sales company, it doesn't matter whether he works overtime or not, and if everyone in this society is used to working overtime for money, then how depressing it is for people in this society to live.
Although he said so, he worked overtime until eleven o'clock every day before leaving the company.
After he left the company, he looked at the streets of the capital.
Because at this time, the street is crowded, all kinds of online car-hailing cars stay on the side of the street, people who get off work, people looking for excitement, all look at the traffic on the street, and their faces show a natural expression.
This world is indeed not the world he is familiar with, the high-rise buildings next to him are crowded with popular Internet companies with bright lights, and the restaurants in the distance are also silently delaying the closing time.
Unconsciously, the pace of this era is getting faster and faster, and he inadvertently remembered the saying that life is like chess during the day.
He like, can he successfully finish the game of chess in life?
He also seems to have entered an embarrassing situation, a mess at the beginning, and finally turned the tables against the wind in the middle game, but because he trusted too much, coupled with missing two excellent killing opportunities, he has been making up for the mistakes in the middle game.
He can compromise and give up this game of chess, as Yang Zheng said, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers.
It would be better to restart a game of chess, but because of the constraints of his commitment and his uncompromising state of mind, he finally led to the fact that he is still numb in playing this game of chess.
He will probably fail, and he will not be able to fulfill his original promise in his life, looking at the traffic around him, he also feels more and more that he is a little old man who can't keep up with the times, and his current situation is almost the limit of his chess ability.
But after seeing the reality clearly, he still left the company without looking back.
After all, even if the game is in a desperate situation.
Even if you have reached the limit of your chess strength.
But there is a beginning and an end, when the faith of their generation.
What's more, he believes that he is not the only one playing the game of chess in his life.
Every employee in the company, every staff member who is willing to struggle, and those who once loved and left later, they will guide themselves to play chess behind themselves in their most difficult times.
They are not chess pieces, but people who are willing to accompany them.
Life is like chess, chess is like life.
If there is a heart that is unwilling to compromise, there is still hope for the final victory.
Chess players who want to understand also have a confident smile on the corner of their mouth for some reason.
