Life's Dreams and Passions

　 Recently, a consultant came to me, and she said this at the beginning: I am 32 years old, the mother of a four-year-old girl, and graduated from a major university with a master's degree in 1999. Now my husband and I are both working in a large group of companies in Shanghai, he is doing technical management work, and I am doing product development work, if we all maintain the status quo, according to the current situation of the industry, should be living a well-off level of life. The house price is not expensive when buying a house, mortgage repayment pressure is not very big, now the house is already sky-high, also have a private car, and no loans, immediately my patent will come out, it is estimated that the next promotion is no problem. So many people are still envious of me, but why am I still confused? Yes, with a house, a car, and a promotion, why should I still be confused?

　　What she said later revealed the reason: Seriously, I chose your course precisely because of my contradiction, maybe it is a sadness that people are over 30 and still don't have a fixed goal, maybe it is a wise choice to continue the current work status, I am really confused. But I can feel that there is still a passion inside me, although this passion does not seem to be as strong as in previous years, and I am afraid that one day there will be no more ideas, so I seek advice from a professional like you! Passion, which seems to some people to be a less fashionable word, still affects our lives and reflects the value and happiness of our lives.

　　There is a story of a pair of brothers returning home together from a trip, one of them carrying a large bag of luggage. Their home was on the eightieth floor, but they came back to find that the power was out in the building. So they climbed the stairs together. When they got to the twentieth floor, the brother told the younger brother: The bag is too heavy, let's put it on the twentieth floor, we'll climb up and come back down to get it tomorrow. The brother said: OK. So they put their bags on the twentieth floor and continued climbing up. When they got to the fortieth floor, the younger brother started to complain and got into a fight with his brother. When they got to the sixtieth floor, the brother said to the brother, "There are only twenty floors left, let's stop arguing and finish it in silence! So they went their own way and finally arrived at the doorstep. The brother struck a very handsome pose and said: brother open the door. But the brother said to the brother: stop it, the key is not at your place. It turns out that they left the key in the bag on the twentieth floor.

　　Dreams are where happiness is This story is reflecting our life. Many people live under the expectations of their families and teachers before they are twenty years old and carry a lot of pressure; after they leave the pressure of the crowd after they are twenty years old, they start to run and work hard; but after working for twenty years, they realize that their work is not as good as they want ......

　　So they started to complain about the boss, the company, the society, and the government. I spent another twenty years in this complaint.

　　So I told myself that I had nothing to complain about at the age of 60, so I would finish my old age in silence. When he was about to die at the age of 80, he remembered that he had not accomplished anything - the dream he had at the age of 20 was not yet accomplished.

　　Therefore, I hope that you are now full of ideals, full of enthusiasm to do what you want to do, to achieve your dreams. Life is just a few dozen years. Especially after so many encounters, you should be able to appreciate that dreams are where happiness lies.

　　Once a medical undergraduate student who was about to graduate asked me: I studied medicine for five years, but I hate being a doctor, I like sales work, what should I do? What should I do? Should I just give up the profession I have studied for five years? Wouldn't that be too big a loss? I said to her: If you lose the opportunity to do what you love for the rest of your life for the sake of a five-year loss, which loss is greater? If the choice of the past five years was not up to you, then, now that the opportunity to choose again has come, the decision is in your hands, what should you do to be responsible for your life? Don't throw away another lifetime of happiness because of five years of misfortune!

　　The dream is value realization. Bernice Siegel once said this: I think that whether you win the big prize or you learn that you are about to say goodbye, you will do the same thing for the next 12 months so that you can be considered to be living a life that is truly your own, and at this moment, you are living a meaningful life.

　　There was a pharmacy owner who vowed to open a charitable pharmacy after his father died when he was young because he couldn't afford to catch his medicine. After becoming the owner, he did not change his mind, about the child, the rich, and the poor. He also became self-taught, specializing in prescribing to people who could not afford to see a doctor. Some medicine connoisseurs see this and shake their heads: a loser style, do not lose money to be strange! However, his business is becoming more and more prosperous, overshadowing all those who are more cost-cutting and shrewd than him. Many things in the world are like this, when you deliberately chase, it is like a butterfly's wiflying fly away; when you abandon the surface of the mundane distractions, for the sake of society, for the sake of others, dedicated to one thing, the unexpected harvest has been quietly greeting you.

　　Dreams are the source of motivation. If you do what you are interested in, or if you know through planning that your current temporary hard work is a preparation for doing what you are interested in, achieving greater success and happiness, and realizing your deepest desires in the future, everyone will be passionate about their work. As the following story illustrates.

　　Three workers were building a wall when someone came to them and asked: What are you doing? The first one said, "Can't you see? I'm building a wall. The second man looked up, smiled, and said: We are building a tall building. Ten years later, the first man was building a wall on another site; the second man was sitting in his office drawing plans, and he became an engineer; the third man was the boss of the first two men.

　　Of course, the result of the boss is not important, and not that everyone should be the boss, but at least the clear goal of the person is hard and happy. Because although he is building a wall, the goal, and vision in his mind is a new city - this is the real source of his motivation.

　　What is your dream and where is your goal? Not clear right now? It doesn't matter, as long as you start planning right away, it's never too late ......
