A child without an umbrella can only run hard

Today, I’m here to talk to you about reality.

I still remember that in 2017, Xiong Xuanang, the top scorer in the Beijing college entrance examination, said something that made people reflect constantly during an interview. He said:

"It is increasingly difficult for children in rural areas to get into good schools. For people like me, who come from middle-class families, we have no worries about food and clothing, and our parents are all intellectuals. Moreover, we live in a big city like Beijing, so we enjoy such unique conditions in terms of educational resources, which many children from other places or rural areas cannot enjoy at all. This determines that when I am studying, I can indeed take many shortcuts than them."

This statement caused a huge uproar at the time, and once again brought the idea that "it's hard for a poor family to produce a noble son" to the forefront.

There are indeed practical reasons for this view to exist. But the more important reason is that being poor is not an excuse for having no future, but it is because you don’t work hard.

It’s not that hard work is useless, the only thing to worry about is that you are not working hard enough.

I have always been described by people around me as "a person favored by fate" .

I was put into the ranks of the "chosen ones" since college. Graduating from college was like a lucky streak. I bought a car and a house, and then replaced my Mercedes-Benz with a Mercedes-Benz. My relatives and friends all envied my good looks.

However, only I know what kind of experiences I have had over the years have led me to where I am today.

I once squatted on the side of an empty German street and cried silently. I once worked overtime until late at night in an empty company. I once dealt with hundreds of emails every day in a monotonous way. I once built an Amazon team from scratch twice. I once led the team to achieve monthly sales of 3 million, but found that the return rate was alarming due to product reasons, and I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. I had to change categories on a large scale and start from scratch again.

Everyone sees my glamorous appearance, but few know that I have put in extraordinary efforts behind the scenes. Fortunately, all these efforts have paid off. The experience in Germany not only allowed me to obtain the German Level 8 certificate, but also taught me to think and live independently. Every time I switched to a startup company and built an Amazon team for them from scratch, I gained the respect of my colleagues and the gratitude of my boss two years later, and what I got was priceless practical experience.

Some time ago, an article titled "Have you seen Shanghai at 4 a.m.?" was widely reposted in my circle of friends. I was actually quite relieved when I saw it, because at least I was not the only one working hard on this road.

When Newton discovered the principle of gravity, people said it was just like being hit on the head by a ripe apple: When Zheng Fuyang made millions on the New Third Board without taking any risks, he was said to be a professional bargain hunter.

In this society, everyone looks at your final result, and no one cares about how much suffering you have experienced along the way.

Not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their mouth, so all you can do is keep moving gold bricks and building a gold mountain for yourself.

The only way to obtain gold bricks is to work hard to find them and to move them continuously.

All these efforts will give you a satisfactory result in the end: a mountain of gold that belongs to you.

From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with being a qualified "brick mover".

Always remember,

A child without an umbrella can only run hard.

Many people think that making money is a troublesome thing and success is an unattainable dream. However, in my opinion, nothing is impossible and there is no absolute trouble in the world.

The things that bother us are often things that will never happen or are irreversible, and these things are undoubtedly trivial to a person who lives attentively and desires success. As Disraeli said, "Life is too short to worry about trivial things."

The truth of life is actually so simple. God does not distinguish between people. The difference between people ultimately depends on their own efforts. The external environment only provides an opportunity. Those who can seize the opportunity will naturally achieve themselves.

There is no such thing as being born at the wrong time in the world. Every era has its own heroes, and outstanding people always find ways to make themselves outstanding.

Only you can embrace your fate head-on

Only then will fate smile at you.
