Endure loneliness to win
 

Many years ago, I read a novel. I can't remember the title and author clearly, but the plot of the story is unforgettable:
 

There was a young man who cut in line in a village on the outskirts of Beijing in the 1970s. In that year, educated youth working in the countryside were very tired. After they finished their work, everyone fell asleep. But he spread horse dung paper on the earth Kang and painted some flowers, birds, fish and insects. This was not in line with the requirements of that era, and some people reflected it to the county. However, it was a blessing in disguise that the art group of the county cultural museum was short of people, so he was transferred to "receive re education".
 

He still tirelessly painted his flowers, birds, fish and insects. The glass of the studio was blown to pieces by the wind. He used a broken newspaper to paste it for eight years. He never told anyone about it. When the salary was raised, the whole library complained to each other behind their backs. But there was no movement there, and sure enough, it didn't rise. But he still looked as if he were all right.
 

When others are keen on the overwhelming "noise", he always chooses to "look after the house". When watching the house, I always draw the two small fish, several water plants and a string of small bubbles. In the cultural center, he was silent. For many years, spring, summer, autumn and winter, he went back and forth endlessly. Whether it was pain or itch, no one paid attention to it.
 

Several years later, real art was valued by the society again, and an art exhibition was held in the city. Unexpectedly, at the first art exhibition, people saw three of his paintings, all of which were small goldfish spitting bubbles. Later, he won the title of the whole city
 

A person's life is very short, and what he can do is very limited. Many people, often unable to stand loneliness, are often coerced by the trend. They immediately imitate what others do. Almost all the excitement in your life will be attended, and you will not miss any fashionable things, but in your twilight years, you will find that you have achieved nothing in your life!
 

Everyone comes from a different environment and natural aptitude, and it is impossible to be good at every field. Therefore, to squeeze in a door is actually to trample on yourself. Can you imagine: a weak scholar who is dizzy after reading chicken killing, but wants to lead thousands of troops to attack the city and pull out the stronghold after reading several martial arts books, can he succeed? The same is true in politics. Even the relationship between several colleagues around them is in a mess. When they hear that they are short, the leader is restless, but they want to be mayor and governor. Can it be done? Similarly, even if you don't understand the basic economic principles of "valuing the upper pole is anti cheap, and valuing the lower pole is anti expensive; valuing the upper pole is like dung and soil, and taking the lower pole is like pearl and jade; water is capital car, and drought is capital boat", you fantasize about crossing the business sea, and it's strange that you don't lose everything!
 

An elder in the press has a deep education and amazing understanding, and his articles are unique. If you study hard, you will succeed. But in middle age, he chose an official career. I remember visiting him before his death. The old man looked depressed: "I've gone the wrong way in the last 20 years! I'm a scholar and shy. In fact, I'm not suitable for administration. I'm tired and many comrades are dissatisfied. If I've been learning, I may leave more things for future generations..."
 

Personal orientation is very important in one's life. If you choose the right direction, you need to endure loneliness and never turn back. In fact, people contribute to the society in a variety of ways. As long as you make achievements in your field of expertise, you will contribute to the society. The most regrettable thing is that many people understand this truth, but they still join the fun, and in the end, they all express the same emotion.
