Difficult to walk, usually uphill

When I was in college, I worked as an intern at the newspaper for nearly two years. At that time, my favorite interviews were all kinds of entrepreneurs, catering, cram schools and clothing stores. In short, as long as I started from scratch, I was very interested.

I'm not curious about how much wealth they have or how much they can make money. I just really want to know how they got through that hard time.

The first person I interviewed was Mr. Li, the founder of a computer training institution opposite our school.

Like most entrepreneurs, he started out as a professional. He majored in computer science at university and worked hard from Hubei to Guangzhou after graduation. He was keenly aware of the prospect of computer development, so he came up with the idea of running a computer class. A year later, he returned to his hometown to start a business. He was 26 years old that year. At first, I just set up a simple computer training business at home, relying on a dozen computers to tutor several students introduced by acquaintances. Before long, he was no longer satisfied and began to look for venues to prepare for the establishment of a larger training center.

At that time, it was his hardest time. First of all, the capital, because it is self-made, there is no rich family, teacher Li boldly chose a loan, which was a very risky thing at that time. If you don't do it well, you could lose everything at any time.

When he was ready, the first batch of students recruited were less than thirty. He was so anxious that he began to work hard. He was so busy that he had no time to eat, and often stayed up late to prepare lessons until three or four o'clock the next morning.

He told me that it was the most difficult time of his entrepreneurial career in the past ten years. He found the road really difficult, and he walked very hard and sweated.

Because of his extreme anxiety, he had worked hard enough, but he still had insomnia and could not sleep all night. Many times, his family could not bear to watch, so it was not difficult to persuade him to let go and go to school to teach on his terms. Only he knew that once he chose to embark on this road, there would be no way out, or that is to say, he would not allow himself to retreat.

With such determination, he struggled forward. Today, his training institution is the largest and most prestigious computer training center in the city, and he owns the whole building.

It was not until now that he felt that it was a day to climb upward from the bottom of the valley, and it was difficult because it was uphill. Had it not been for the persistence of the road ahead, we would never have climbed to this point. It is the persistence of the road ahead that has made it to the top now.

There is also an interview with Xiao Chen, a college student who owns a hamburger restaurant.

After graduation, his family arranged for him a stable job with a considerable income and leisure. Xiao Chen decided to resign after going to work for a month. He told me that he didn't want to see his whole life like this.

As a result, unwilling to be insipid, he began to start a business. He laughs that his start-up is completely messed up.

Before starting a business, he inspected the local market and felt that foreign fast food was more popular there, but generally consumed more. So he decided to set up a small foreign fast food restaurant to make food that the public loved and could afford to consume.

With thousands of yuan in his pocket, he went to Wuhan alone to learn a complete set of skills in making hamburgers. Due to lack of experience, I mistakenly joined a fake technical training company and paid tuition fees, but what I learned was fake technology. in addition, food and accommodation were not included, and there was very little money left.

It was impossible to ask for family support because his parents had been angered by quitting his job, and he no longer asked his family for a penny. Xiao Chen borrowed a few hundred yuan from his college classmates so that he wouldn't live on the street.

Recalling the scene at that time, he said that at that time he was simply wandering and sometimes standing on the bank of the river, he felt that only the stable bridge and hole was the best place to live.

Later, he learned the technology and opened a hamburger shop, but because of his own skills, the taste of the hamburger made by Xiao Chen was not authentic and could not be recognized, and sometimes there were no customers in the store for several days in a row.

I have never felt so sad in life. I worry every day about whether I will starve to death the next day. That's what he said to me. At that time, he lived a life of worrying about his livelihood every day, and even so, he didn't give up.

With his invincible determination and slow accumulation of customers, Xiao Chen's hamburger restaurant finally began to make a profit. After several years of operation, it has now opened its fifth branch.

Young people, is to show that the strength of the wind and fire, dare to rush! This is Xiao Chen's determination and drive, no matter how difficult the days are, he never gives up.

3. Yes, the more difficult it is, the more forward it is; the more difficult it is to walk, the more upward it is. If we have been walking very easily, we must be doing parallel movement. if there is no slope, we will not rise. And if you walk effortlessly, or even without effort, it must be pushed down by inertia, demotion, failure, will follow.

Life is a long journey, some people choose effortless or even retrogressive life, and then more and more poor, more and more down and out. Some people choose to walk easily and make a detour when they encounter uphill roads. such people will never stand in a higher position.

And only those who choose to climb hard, those whose hands are covered with thorns but still clench their teeth, can stand high and see the scenery that no one else can see.

The world is fair, nothing can be achieved in vain, everything is protected by the wind. If you want to get what you want, you must go through a period of hard work. And when you finally get it, as soon as you look back, you will find that the original difficult walk is all uphill.
