Wen is my editor. I graduated from the Chinese Department of Fudan University. When I was a student, I published my work in a provincial newspaper. Once I graduated, I was hired by a big newspaper with a high salary. at a young age, I became a department director. It can be described as a child's ambition. He called me that day and talked about the article. At the end of the day, he told me that he had just passed his 30-year-old birthday, with a little emotion in his tone. So I asked him what he thought? He said a lot. His biggest feeling was that he finally understood the truth: the three dreams that had been buried in his heart could never be realized, and he had to torture himself in his heart, so he decided to delete them.
I was speechless and waited quietly.
"The first dream to be deleted is English, you know? I started to learn English since I was 7 years old. I was forced by my parents to learn English. I was not so scolded. I woke up every morning and got up to recite words. It has been more than 20 years now. I have used three recorders and two rereaders. As a result, my English only tells Chinese that when I meet a foreigner, I have to go to translation. Looking back, it's silly! I don't want to do professional translation or settle abroad. How many opportunities can I use English in my life? You just need to hire a translator when you need it. Why bother yourself so much! In this way, people can easily get started ."
"The second dream to be deleted is romance. I admit, romantic feeling is really good, but only suitable for young people. I am already 30 years old. I don't want to go into any more processes. I want to step into my life directly. For example, two people go to the supermarket to buy fresh food, or change a new curtain for the house. Like the kind of things that cost 20 yuan for valentine's day to buy a rose and spend a few hundred yuan for Christmas to eat agentdas, I won't do it again. This kind of thing is called romance before the age of 30. It is a waste to do it after the age of 30 ."
"The third dream to be deleted is ambition. Ambition, like romance, is the privilege of young people. I do not deny that there are too many late adopters in the world, but that is very rare. For most people, if there is no sign at the age of 30 and there is no result at the age of 40, I am afraid that will be the case in my life. I am 30 years old, althoughArticleI often report a few books, but I have to admit that it is impossible for me to become Hemingway! That kind of person is a genius, and I can only be a talent at most! Even if they don't eat, eat, and spend the day and night writing, they won't be able to write a masterpiece like the old man and the sea. It's better not to do this dream, but to set a more realistic and suitable for yourself, what can be achieved through hard work."
some people say that life is a process of constant compromise. In my opinion, life is more like a series of first and second episodes. The first half is a process of continuous savings, continuous experience, and continuous outbreaks; the lower half of the set is a process of continuous loss, restrained, and deletion. Until the end is reached, we will delete our own last possession-life. This is indeed not a happy thing, but what can happen? Active deletion is always better than passive deletion. I respect those who stick to themselves at the age of 60 and refuse to give up their dreams. However, if they are 30 years old, they want to delete them, not easy to look.
