My friends have encountered some difficulties recently. After everyone recounted, they realized that the difficulties they encountered were actually so similar. Friend A said, 'I feel really unlucky, I can't do anything smoothly.'. A few years ago, I used the hard-earned money I had accumulated for over a decade to invest in setting up factories and doing export processing. At the beginning, the benefits were quite good. But not long after, caught up with the global financial crisis, foreign trade business plummeted, and my orders also fell through. The factory couldn't continue, so I researched the market and found that a certain brand of cosmetics sold well. So, I used the remaining money from opening the factory. All of them were taken to open a specialty store. Not to mention, the cosmetics business is really booming. I am planning that in less than two years, I will be able to make back the money I lost when setting up the factory. I wasn't happy for a few days when I suddenly noticed that the number of customers coming to the store had decreased. Later, when I found out, I found out that there were many online stores with low costs and less investment, so the prices were cheaper than my specialty store. Many customers were taken away like this. So, I decided to open an online store as well. But my online store opened later than others and has no competitive advantage. Now, my online store can only barely survive.


My friend B looked worried, although I didn't suffer from repeated failures like A did But I am also very confused. After graduating from college, I started working in a factory. I started as a workshop worker and gradually progressed to a technical management position. As the saying goes, it's good to keep going like this, but I'm not satisfied with such a boring life. So, after working for two years, I will review for the postgraduate entrance examination. Fortunately, I succeeded in the postgraduate entrance examination. I have been a graduate student for three years. I thought I could find a research institute to utilize my strengths and fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a scientist. I didn't expect that universities would expand their enrollment in recent years. Graduate employment is difficult. I have contacted many units, but have not been successful.


B is very discouraged. It is said that knowledge changes destiny, but why did I acquire more knowledge but narrow my path in life?


My friend C sighed and said, 'I am a person who is not satisfied with the status quo and always tries to change myself.'. I used to be a civil servant that everyone envied, but I am not interested in the monotonous 9-to-5 lifestyle at all. So, I voluntarily resigned and went into business. I have been doing business for several years and have also earned a lot of money. One day, I suddenly felt that I came into this world just to accumulate meager wealth? In that case, life is so boring. So, I disregarded the opposition of my family and friends. Resolutely gave the low-priced inventory of the store to someone else and went to study as a painter, hoping to realize my childhood dream of becoming a painter. When I picked up the paintbrush again, I found that it had become as heavy as a thousand pounds. Although I can also imitate ordinary paintings, it is obvious that I lack the spiritual energy that art should possess. I gave up everything, was it just to become a painter? Of course, I feel unwilling, but I am also struggling to find a way out. Listen to the complaints of the three of them.


I have gained some understanding in my heart.


We know that when climbing a mountain, if you keep walking towards one path, the likelihood of reaching the top of the mountain is very high. But if you keep changing paths while climbing, it will be difficult for you to climb to the top of the mountain.


This principle is actually very simple. When confused, what we need is to clarify our thoughts and recognize the current situation. And once we have set our goals, we must keep going and not give up easily due to momentary confusion. Otherwise, the fruits of life will only fall from your hasty decisions.
