To survive, be a little grass first

Survival is to live well, live happily ever after, like the grass "wildfire burn" as alive. Only you learn to survive, just have the chance to change the setbacks in front, just have the chance to be close to success.

You may never achieve your goal of success in your life, but you must strive to survive, because when you stop trying, you give up life and stop growing.

In recent years, more and more college students pour into the society, more and more people complain about social injustice, hard to find jobs, low wages, high prices, born in bad time! Even worse, they wait for their parents to consign them, seek employment from acquaintances and, at the most extreme, stay at home for a year or two without a suitable job.

These, let me think of their own out of the school, those sour, sweet, bitter, hot days.

In 1998, I graduated from technical secondary school, according to the study plan, the government gives arrangements to work. But that year, the government began restructuring, downsizing and laying off workers, and the expected jobs continued to wait, indefinitely.

I was born in the mountainous area, my father died early, and my mother supported my sister 弎's tuition fees and living expenses, leaving a lot of debt for studying. My mother, who was only in her 50s, had to work hard to bow her back. Making money is urgent. After hard thinking, AFTER the Spring Festival of 1999, I gave up waiting and came to Longgang District of Shenzhen alone. Began a aimless search for work.

I went door to door under the southern sun to fill out my resume at employment agencies. When I tell the other party that I just graduated from technical secondary school, the other party will look at me with distrust, or mixed with some contempt, it seems that a technical secondary school student in their eyes have no use. And there are only a few jobs for technical secondary school graduates. Back then, mobile phones were a luxury item in my vocabulary that I couldn't buy or support. In order to contact the employer in time, I have to go back to the agency on the day of the appointment and ask if the employer has hired me.

Of course, these efforts fizzled. Either my education is too low, or SAY I am not shenzhen registered permanent residence, or I can not speak "Cantonese" can not communicate with customers language, or my major is not appropriate...... I was shut out for a variety of reasons.

I only brought a few hundred yuan from my family, which I borrowed from my neighbor's house, less than 300 yuan after the travel expenses. Every night I look for a few dollars a night hotel rest, if not found a few dollars a night hotel, I will wait until 12 o 'clock at night to negotiate in the hotel, that will be much cheaper. Several times I planned to sleep on the street or under a bridge, but a kind passer-by reminded me: "Don't walk on the street after 12 o 'clock, there are many 'vigilantes' will arrest you as a tramp." I try to walk, no matter how far it is, to save money and to meet a new "employment agency". Every day I buy several cheap steamed buns to pass my three meals a day.

The harder you try to find a job, the less they care about you; The more you need to survive, the more hungry you are. A few days later, I was selling myself door to door at the factory gates. However, most factories require acquaintance introductions. I came alone, and I only came back again and again.

When I was about to become a "hobo", a kind old janitor took me in and I worked as an ordinary security guard.

I work 12 hours a day for about 600 yuan a month. The pay wasn't good, but it kept me from starving. For the first time, I understood how difficult and precious it was to survive.

Two years later, I returned to my hometown county. He bought a pickup truck with his savings from working in Shenzhen and began to sell vegetables and fruits and resell lotus coal. Every night at 3, 4 o 'clock to the vegetable fruit wholesale market stock, after selling vegetables and fruit, someone needs freight rental running around the rental, a little leisurely day to resell nearby lotus root coal. I occasionally worked late nights picking up trash at construction sites.

The day changed quietly in the effort, I bought my own house in the county, married a wife and had children.

However, not getting a civil service job has been my mother's regret for many years, which she often talks about. After all, my mother had put me through school to get a government job.

By chance, I saw that a local civil servant post required as little as a technical secondary school diploma. In order to mother's wishes for many years, but also for a stable life, I picked up the book after 10 years of separation.
