It turns out that only 2 percent of the world's people can achieve remarkable success, and 98 percent of people can only be ordinary ordinary people. There are some smart, capable and ambitious young people who always look down on those who live an ordinary life. They think that these people are "unproductive", "insignificant", "boring", and when they find themselves struggling and failing, doing nothing, and facing the same ordinary life as ordinary people, they will find life boring, and thus give birth to endless troubles.

Song Yuzhuo graduated from a prestigious university, knowledgeable, arrogant, after graduation, he did not go to work in a large company like other classmates, step by step to win the promotion, because he has a more ambitious goal: to start his own business, and gradually make the company bigger and stronger, until he enters the ranks of world-class enterprises. With the support of his family, Song Yuzhuo began his entrepreneurial journey: he ran an online chain store, sold computers, and opened an accounting service company...... In the past two years, Song Yuzhuo has achieved nothing, and his former classmates have become manager-level figures. The family couldn't stand him tossing like this, so they forced him to apply for the civil service examination. Song Yuzhuo was assigned to a clerical job at an environmental protection agency, but the job was clearly not satisfactory to him, he complained about the tedious work, and thought that there would be no future if he continued to do so, so he was troubled every day, suffering from the gap between his ideals and reality.

Having a goal in life and wanting to get ahead can be said to be a fairly positive attitude, but this must be based on the affirmation of ordinary life. Only the affirmation of ordinary life can make people more motivated. On the other hand, if you are always dissatisfied with the situation of ordinary life, then the idea of getting ahead will have a negative impact on you.

In real life, there are many "Song Yuzhuo", who can't accept ordinary life, let alone know how to find greatness from the ordinary, so their "lofty ideals" usually bring them troubles rather than hopes.

In fact, there is nothing disgraceful about being an ordinary little person. In life, we often ignore the little people, but the little people are not fools and barbarians, on the contrary, they are mostly skilled craftsmen. Everyone has their own way of life, and the little people do not have the glory of the big people, but they have their own ordinary joy, and Qian Xuesen, a famous physicist in China, has a deep understanding of this. He is not a full-time educator, but he knows how to educate very well. He not only imparted profound knowledge to students, but also was good at doing students' ideological work and inspiring students with the philosophies of his ancestors.

At that time, some students had ideological fluctuations caused by mismatched majors, believing that engaging in the rocket and missile career was a major change of career, that what they had learned was not useful, that they would not be able to make a name for themselves, that their youth had been wasted in vain, and that their original dream of becoming a "great scientist" or "big man" in their profession had been shattered, and therefore, they did not feel at ease in studying. Although this problem exists in some people, this perception can easily resonate with other people. This is because for the vast majority of students, engaging in rockets and missiles is "not in the right major."

After Qian Xuesen learned about this situation, he talked about some philosophical and humorous words at a heart-to-heart meeting, which produced very good results. At the meeting, he taught the students: "I think that when mankind was still living in the Garden of Eden, there was no distinction between big and small people. It's just that human beings naturally feel that everyone's life is too boring, so some people stand on a high place and become big people. There are big and small people in the crowd. ”

"In fact, the existence of a few big people is first of all because of the foil of thousands of inconspicuous little people. It's often the little people who make the big guys. The little people are like the water in the pond, and the big people are like the fragrant and slim lotus flowers that come to the surface. Just imagine, without water, how can lotus survive! ”

"People tend to see only a few big people in the role. In fact, in everyday life and ordinary careers, small people are more indispensable than big people. Although a soldier who does not want to be a marshal is not a good soldier, if every soldier wants to be a marshal, that army will definitely not be able to fight. No matter how powerful Napoleon was, it was still thousands of soldiers who really used swords and guns. ”

As Qian Xuesen said, with the safety of the little people, the glory of the big people has been achieved. The blueprint of the big man is described, and many diligent little people work hard for it, and the results are created bit by bit. After the brilliant achievements, the big people have capital, so they rely on a trace of ideological inspiration to continue to push the world forward.

A person standing on the top of a mountain and a person standing at the foot of a mountain are in different positions, but they see each other as the same size in their eyes. So if you are an ordinary little person, then don't be arrogant, don't ask for trouble, and don't ignore your life because you admire the halo on the head of the big person.
