Several things happened during this time, and I was very touched and I wanted to talk to you.
Part.1
The first thing, one day a few months ago, I suddenly received a message from a WeChat article praised.
I looked at the amount, confused, it was 200 yuan!
I usually post articles, from time to time can receive some appreciation, but usually a few dollars, such a large amount is still the first time. I thought, someone must have made a mistake, I have to return this money!
Just when I was trying my best to contact the reader to get the money back, I received another message from this appreciative reader.
She said she wasn't in good health and probably not for long. She has a child who has only gone to elementary school, but she feels that she may not be with her children for long. The last time I saw a set of physics books I pushed was very good, she bought this set of books, hoarded for children in the future, and hoped that I could send a copy to my children if I had follow-up chemistry and geometry in the future.
"When the child goes to junior high school in the future, the mother may not be there, and I hope that those books are a thought of the mother!"
When I saw this sentence, I couldn't help but have tears in the corners of my eyes.
I quickly sent her several messages in a row, I said that I can't collect this money, please make sure she takes care of her body. Please give me the bank account number, I want to return the money.
In addition, I discussed with my wife, I want to ask her to give me the address and the child's birthday information, even though she may not be there in the future, but we will send birthday gifts to the child in her name every year until the child grows up.
In those days, I sent more than a dozen messages in a row.
However, there has been no response...
I don't know how this reader is doing, I hope God has eyes, and her body can recover soon. For the sake of children, live strongly!
Part.2
The second thing, is from a friend of mine, one day I received a message from him, saying that because of some physical problems, the company did not do it, all the goods were cleared.
My friend is the notorious desperate Sanlang, when I was in the United States, I got up in the morning, and my friends on WeChat slept, but he was still alive and did not sleep in the middle of the night to chat with me.
We discussed industry dynamics, future development, life planning, generally chatted until 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning Chinese time, friends only muttered, "Oh, it's too late, I have to sleep, tomorrow I have to get up early to send a baby!" ”
What went wrong that made Sanro give up his job?
Later, I learned that my friend had a physical problem, and if the disease was not well controlled, he might only have 5 years to live.
But my friend was optimistic, and he said to give himself a five-year plan to see what else he wanted to do in life. Then spend more time with your children and your family, and don't leave regrets for yourself!
So he shut down the company's business.
Since making this change, his circle of friends has also undergone tremendous changes, which used to be full of photos of various business trips, but now there are many warm moments of various accompanying babies.
When people reach middle age, they finally understand the true meaning of life. Busy with work, safe in the family, and the family is the sustenance of the soul!
Part.3
The third thing is the advice from a friend the other day.
A few days ago, the teacher of the publishing house came to me, and the first thing he said when he saw me was, "Daddy, you really should do a live broadcast!" ”
It turned out that some time ago, the Chengdu Book Fair poured in a lot of anchors, selling books on Douyin Live, and sales continued to refresh new personal records.
And Li Jiaqi and Wei Ya, two people with sales of nearly 20 billion yuan in a single day, have also created a miracle of live streaming with goods!
My friend looked at me with regret, and the look in his eyes seemed to have a feeling of "hating iron is not steel".
Honestly, to make money, who wouldn't want to?
I have watched the live broadcast, and when I saw those anchors live every time, staying in front of the phone for 5 or 6 hours, every day like chicken blood, shouting "123, on the link", I hesitated...
I once saw an interview with Li Jiaqi, and in that interview, he cried!
Li Jiaqi said:
He broadcasts 389 shows 365 days a year. Don't dare to rest.
24 hours a day, he broadcasts 5-6 hours per live broadcast. Don't dare to rest.
2017 Double Eleven Day Cat Live, he was directly tired to the point of collapse, and he couldn't help but cry in the office.
The long-term high-intensity live broadcast has seriously damaged his voice and also made him suffer from bronchitis, in order to prevent recurrence at any time, he carries a "life-saving medicine".
He knows how hard it is to get to this point, so he is working harder in this industry!
Life is a process of constant trade-offs, and if you want to gain something, you will definitely lose something.
For me:
I am a father and need time to spend time with my family and tutor my children;
I am an engineer and need time to keep learning to catch up with the trend of technological development;
I'm a knowledge blogger and need time to read a lot of books to spread the latest and greatest knowledge.
And live selling, although it is the trend of today, is not a model that suits me, and I can't afford to spend my time!
Part.4
A few days ago, I was on a business trip, and after the customer's meeting, it was already the next night, and the leader of the other party booked a hotel and said that he would entertain us.
The moment I walked out of the building, it was dark, and looking at the bright moon in the sky, I suddenly had a feeling of relief, which was the release of the successful completion of the work. But then a sense of loneliness welled up in my heart.
Maybe, I'm homesick!
So I pushed off the customer's meal, bought the last train, and rushed home overnight.
By the time I got home, the kids were asleep. My wife saw me pop up suddenly, and with a surprise, she threw herself into my arms!
When I was young, I always felt that I was a fighter, that I was pursuing speed and height, and that I aspired to career success.
However, when people reach middle age, I find that family and health are the first, and with a harmonious family and a healthy body, we can have the foundation for the development of our careers.
I was recently chasing "Joe's Children."
There was always a painting hanging in the living room of Joe's house - "Home and Everything".
And these five words are the true meaning of life's struggle!
