It is not tears that fall to the ground

It is not tears that fall to the ground

By santa jedPublished 3 years ago 5 min read

In a new job in a foreign company, I was envious of my new colleagues who spoke English directly, but I couldn't help it. Especially for a person with a weak English background, it seemed too difficult to improve my English in a short time.

A supervisor, Wang Kai, saw how anxious I was and said he could help me with my English. He used to be a teacher in an English training institute and could help me improve my English effortlessly, but only if I cooperated with his requests.

Wang Kai wrote the requirements on a piece of white paper and asked me to read the paper every day. For example, I had to spend half an hour reading English when I got up in the morning, listen to BBC at noon, and read the words before I went to bed at night. In addition, the heart should keep simple, that is, in a short time, don't think about anything, just think I want to learn English well, must learn it well.

I nodded yes: "Good, good, this easy realization!"

He smiled: "Not easy to achieve, try!"

As a result, I lasted less than a week before I became discouraged. To be honest, his request seemed simple, but in the process of carrying it out, I found that the daily grind would disrupt these plans. For example, you are carrying the words on your back and realize that you haven't had breakfast yet. After lunch, you want to listen to the BBC, but you are too sleepy to open your eyes...

I told Wang Kai PI8938txthese troubles, Kai brother smiled, you these difficulties everyone has to face. It is not the difficulties we meet that determine success or failure, but how we react to them. Some people will compromise, some will escape, some will change direction, some will leave blindly, and some will find ways to conquer...

Originally, that year Kai's elder brother is a sports university graduate of sports students. In the year of graduation, an accident injured his leg. During the summer vacation, other students were looking for jobs, and only he lay in a hospital bed silently, suffering the time.

Good news began to trickle in, but none of it belonged to him. His roommates were recruited to teach physical education, his dream job. After graduating from college, he was left with only disappointment and regret. He could not be a physical education teacher, but he had no other plans. As he lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, his youth seemed to pass so quickly that he realized that he had to make a plan and set a goal for his future.

His heart is pessimistic, even a little bit of overreach. While planning, he laughed at himself. Suddenly he felt so powerless and incompetent. As a seven-foot man, he could not stand on his feet.

In a rage, he tore the needle from his hand and looked at the bleeding wound with indifference. At this time, a girl sitting in a wheelchair passing by his ward saw, and quickly called the doctor, for his wound dressing.

The girl stood by his hospital bed and shared her story with him. She is also a graduate student at a prestigious university. Now in her second year, she was going to the United States as an exchange student. She always felt like the luckiest girl in the world.

One morning, she woke up and found that her legs were swollen. At first, she thought it was due to tiredness, but did not think so much. Her legs became more and more swollen and swollen until she could not walk.

She knew only that she had a serious illness, but she did not know what it was. She had been in this hospital for a long time. In the beginning, she had thought of taking her life, but later she felt that death was inevitable and she wanted to die with dignity. But for a person who doesn't know his illness, who doesn't want to break the peace of the moment, dying with dignity is also a challenge.

Instead, she swung around the ward in her wheelchair, helping people in need. She is not a Buddhist, she said, but still believes that acts of kindness may help her in the next life. The girl is a pessimist, but she wants to use her only power to help others, in exchange for a little optimism, and life dignity.

When Kaige heard this, he was moved to a loss. Considering what he had done, he was too reckless. He began to learn English by himself and dreamed of becoming an English teacher in an English training institution. He no longer put his attention on his legs, every morning wakes up, the first thing is to recite words, and before going to bed at night and copies English articles, in addition to sleep, his waking time is used to learn English. He gradually forgot that he was still a sick person, and he no longer envied those who could become teachers after graduation. He just hoped that he would get better soon.

Finally, everything worked out as he hoped, and he became an English teacher in an institution. Every day in class, he would look for a face similar to the girl, he expected to see her, always worried about her, but never saw her.

In the vast sea of people, sometimes a light suddenly shines on us, and we become someone else. Hope quietly rises from the heart of a pessimist, an almost desperate person begins to dream of life, and starts to act to help others, and this is what the girl said to have dignity!

We always look forward to life, ah, some more flat, fate, please do not give too many strange, but our feet often step on the muddy road ah.

On the flat land, even if you run, you can not leave any footprints; The muddy road, no matter how sad, your heart is the print can be etched on the earth, it tells you, you have been to, you came, you here happened in the story, you have to accept the fate of the test has been falling, leisurely get up later, do our best to run in the past, caked in mud, is also very good...

After all, can fall to the ground is not tears, but step by step.
