Only by enduring pain can you live a correct life

In 2008, an investor once asked Buffett's partner Charlie Munger for many years, "How can we avoid losses like last year? Are we capable of doing it?". Charlie Munger replied: "No. If you don't bear a little bit of pain now, you will not be able to live a correct life."

Without knowing the awesome directors and actors and not understanding the awesome and painful sales industry,
The first feeling after watching this film is the word "plain". Some movies are dull and boring, but this one is dull but has a lingering rhyme—at least for me. At the end of the film, I was still in the "fuck up" world, listening to Roma's endless complaints and narrations, and finally saw Shelly's helpless and awkward smile. On the one hand, I felt that the investigation into the loss of the contract was another On the one hand, I felt that the whole world was at peace. Those who should go to sell the contract continue to live a life of disguise and deceit, those who don't want to fight have already quit, and Shelly, who is worried about her daughter and wants to return to the sales rankings, continues her pain and entanglement. Tossing to the end, it's just what you should do, but for everyone, the situation is more severe.

In fact, Shelly had always been optimistic about it at first. After all, he was the only one (among the people attending the conference) who was the potential customer of the telecommunications union after the fierce battle, and worked hard for the simplest tomorrow. He put aside all complaints. Some things cannot be tolerated, but they must be accepted. Since you want to accept it, it's better to accept it indifferently. Unexpectedly, he endured violent generals and insults, and was willing to be a flesh-and-blood sales machine that could not accompany his daughter. He faced all these pains in silence, and that's why he created the illusion of a bright future for people, and made me gratified for his list of more than 80 million yuan.

Having endured so much, but in the end it was too hasty. How often we have done such silly things, some people have endured it for so long, but collapsed to the point of giving up all the reservedness and etiquette when it was least important, and released dissatisfaction with the least offended or the closest person. It's like deciding to cut the meat and sell it after waiting for a long time, only to find that the stock immediately rises like a mad cow with blood. Every time we think we made the right decision, but in the end we just have to admit that our decision has exceeded the scope of self-interest and reached selfishness. It has produced a positive externality to one party and a negative externality to the other party. sex. On the whole, in the end, no one is profitable and everyone is suffering. When deciding to trade, we may think that we have found a balance, but because we want to get more for ourselves, we abandon the "pain", but go to regret, or even the abyss.

The best way to alleviate the pain is to work hard now and not predict what will happen next. And the ultimate pain is that, although the pain has been transferred, but I can't get out of that small circle, I am always reminding the people around me that you are still the suffering person and you have not yet come out of it.

    In addition to not agreeing with the extremely distorted values ​​inside, I appreciate this tight plot and explicit reality. The ending was unexpected but sad. Although Kevin 22 years ago was 33, he looked very young.

    Sales at the forefront of U.S. real estate, the story of a day. The most exploited layer, the goal of work makes people forget the original kindness, the old man humbly asks for the support of the superiors in the rain, until he has no choice but to commit a crime to keep his job, but it is for the daughter in the hospital. The management people are so ignorant and selfish and narrow-minded.
