I'm afraid that the future is hopeless, and there is an inch of joy in every inch.
Recently, I saw a video that was only a dozen seconds, but I watched it several times with concentration.
Three puppies crossed the canal, which was relatively long and filled with water.
At intervals there is a narrow wall that forms a small dam.
Three puppies cross the canal, each showing their skills.
At the forefront was the little black dog.
The little black dog is very strong, athletic, and an absolute strength player.
Again and again, it effortlessly runs over the dam wall, moving effortlessly like an athlete hurdling.
He was followed by the little white dog, who chose a different path.
Instead of jumping into the water and jumping over the dam wall one by one, it jumped straight onto the edge of the canal and walked calmly.
The most distressing thing is the little yellow dog.
The low dam wall is like an impassable mountain to it.
It struggled to climb up, as its feet slipped and fell again, rolling in the muddy water.
It didn't give up, kicked, jumped, and climbed the dam wall again.
This time, it succeeded.
By the time it crossed the last dam wall, it was clearly exhausted, gasping for air. But its eyes were firm, always staring at the other side of the canal, looking at the partner who had gone away, silently gritting its teeth and insisting.
Three puppies crossed the canal, one relied on strength, one relied on brains, and one relied on persistence, like three lives.
01
The little black dog who crossed the canal for the first time was especially like the kind of people around us.
They did well when they were in school, and the teachers liked him very much.
After graduation, they have outstanding work ability, ability, ability, and prosperity.
They were among the first among their peers to buy a house and a car, and to achieve financial independence and financial freedom.
This kind of person is God's food.
For example, blogger @ Wei Xinyuan, a classmate of Huizi in Xia.
Wei Xinyuan ranked in the top ten in the province in the college entrance examination that year, and studied finance at the University of Hong Kong.
After graduating, he engaged in private equity funds, and many people only managed millions or tens of millions of funds.
Because of his outstanding ability, he managed hundreds of millions of funds at his most glorious time.
In just a few years, he drove a Maserati and basically achieved financial freedom.
Another example, Liu Mingzhen, deputy dean of the School of Materials and Energy of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, which exploded some time ago.
is obviously very good-looking, but she has to rely on her strength.
Many people are 28 years old, either struggling in the workplace or studying hard in school.
But he has become a vice president, a professor, and a doctoral supervisor.
People who have the ability can mix well no matter where they are, regardless of age.
is like the first little black dog to cross the canal, in the face of absolute strength, all skills are fancy.
What others have worked hard to complete in ten years, they may only need one or two years.
As long as they don't follow crooked paths, their lives are destined to be much smoother than ordinary people.
This kind of person is enviable, but only rare.

The second little white dog crossing the canal is not uncommon with us.
They are gifted, smart, and have a lot of ideas.
Just like Xiaobai, the other two dogs went down the drain, but he found a new way to the other side without a drop of water.
This kind of person doesn't have to worry about not making money, and he doesn't have to worry about not living a good life.
In a speech, Luo Zhenyu shared the story of the post-90s entrepreneur Du Shun.
In May 2018, Du Shun decided to take the postgraduate examination full-time.
During the postgraduate entrance examination, he always couldn't help but swipe his mobile phone, and his study efficiency was very low.
On a whim, why not develop a box dedicated to locking the phone, set the locking time, and only when the time is up can the phone be removed.
He believes that this product has huge market potential.
So, he found a few close friends, scraped together a sum of money, and began to put it into action.
After the successful development of this product, it exploded all of a sudden, selling more than 30 million.
I have to admit that there is a difference in IQ between people and people when they are born, and some people are born very intelligent.
Whether it's learning or doing things, they are better than their peers.
This type of person has ideas, quick thinking, and can easily stand out from any starting point.
Jim Reid, an American, stumbles upon a golf ball that falls into a lake due to a player's mistake.
He had the wit to dive into the lake and found tens of thousands of golf balls at the bottom of the lake.
At first, he was the only one to salvage, but later there were more people salvage, and everyone fought for their heads, and they couldn't make any money.
At this time, he switched to buying these old balls, washing them, repainting them, and then packaging them for sale.
Today, he owns a golf recycling company with annual revenues of $8 million.
In this world, some people use mental power to do things, some people use physical strength to do things, and some people use perseverance to do things.
Obviously, the little white dog is the kind of person who uses his brain power to do things.
Albert Einstein said: Most people are mediocre, and only a very few people are smart.
As an ordinary person, how can you stand out from the crowd if you don't have a brilliant mind?
The answer lies in the little yellow dog.

When watching the video, many people's eyes are not on the little black dog, nor on the little white dog, but on the little yellow dog.
Because it struggles, is embarrassed, and rolls forward in the mire, it looks like us in life.
The vast majority of people don't have the strength of the little black dog, nor the talent and intelligence of the little white dog, so they can only be as embarrassed as the little yellow dog, stumbling all the way.
When we see it fall, we worry about it; When we see it successfully climb over the dam wall, we smile.
We hope that the little yellow dog can catch up, run at the front, and win a game.
In fact, deep down the person we hope to win is ourselves.
How many people are like little yellow dogs, who can only rely on desperate perseverance?
Xue Qikun, president of Tsinghua University, was rejected by Harbin Institute of Technology for the first postgraduate examination, and was rejected by the Chinese Academy of Sciences for the second postgraduate examination.
It wasn't until the third year that he was admitted to the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Later, he went to the Tohoku Research Institute in Sendai, Japan, to study for a doctorate.
Here he has to overcome the language barrier and focus on his studies, and he is stupid by nature and under great pressure.
While others can graduate in three years, it took him seven years to publish a paper in a top academic journal to graduate.
Seeing him become the president of the university, many people thought that he was intellectually superior, but he knew that he had no talent, and he only relied on tireless perseverance.
I agree with a sentence: ordinary people do not change their fate by luck, but by quietly persevering day after day.
You try to take a step forward, although the steps are a little smaller, but one step at a time, will eventually lead you to the end.
Take myself as an example, I was born in a rural area, had no resources and no background, but I redoubled my efforts and became a media reporter as I wished.
No matter how much you like a job, if you do it for about five years, you will enter a period of burnout, and you will be annoyed to death.
I have changed several units in the middle, but the only thing that has remained the same is that I have been deeply involved in the media industry and have been doing so for nearly 20 years.
It is precisely because of this persistence that I later seized the opportunity of self-media and successfully started a business.
Although the journey was very difficult and difficult, and I often felt lonely and helpless, but fortunately, I was willing to endure the hardships.
Please believe that if you swallow the bitterness of life and survive the difficult moments, everything will slowly get better.
Like the little yellow dog, though it was not graceful enough to cross the canal, it was dirty. But in the end, it also waded through the rapids and successfully reached the other side.
Maybe now you are harder than others, slower than others, and more difficult than others, and if you persevere, you will also get what you want one day.
I'm afraid that the future is hopeless, and there is an inch of joy in every inch.
Get through it, and you can see the light.
Give it a thumbs up and encourage your friends.
