When we grow up, we all become ordinary people.

When I was in junior high school, there was a propositional composition called "Me in 20 Years". You must have written a similar composition, with a tender nib, smearing the future, and writing full of expectations. I believe that when you grow up, you can be amazed by the situation and become the person who changes the world. There was a girl in the class who wrote that she had broken through HIV, won the Nobel Prize in medicine, and gave a speech in pure English wearing a cheongsam; another boy said that he had become an athlete and led the Chinese football team to win game after game. It can be called the pillar of the country; some people have become billionaires, some people have become high-ranking officials, some people have become movie stars. However, our Chinese teacher chose another article with a completely inconsistent style as a model essay. It was written by an unremarkable boy, describing his wife's birthday one day 20 years later. He was busy shopping and cooking early in the morning, planning surprises with his son, and the family cut cakes and blew candles happily. The last sentence of the composition said: "My wife is happily leaning on my shoulder." We laughed, but that sentence, mixed with laughter, reverberated in my memory for many years. The teacher commented that this article is the most real. When I think about it when I grow up, I am shocked to realize that the teacher has broken the secret in one sentence. It's been 15 years since I wrote that essay. Most of the boys and girls who imagined the future had married and started their own businesses, working as drivers, accountants, teachers, farmers, living in a small corner of the world, no one knows their joys and sorrows. There are only 5 years left, which is probably not enough for us to realize the wishes of the year. Most people did not become the person they wanted to be at the beginning, but lived into the words that were once laughed at, wives and children were on the kang head, and ordinary days were full of joys and sorrows. 2 The composition of my year, which portrayed a very dashing female writer, with a slightly sturdy title, was called "Walking the World Alone". At that time, I was fascinated by Sanmao, indulging in wandering in the Sahara Desert, and I firmly believed that a pen of my own could knock on the door of the vast world, write while walking, and live a happy life. So, I started to write when I was a teenager, and the checkered drafts were densely packed, and I didn't start publishing until I was 16 years old. When I entered university, I had to practice writing 1,000 words a day. The articles were published occasionally, but they were far from a blockbuster. In the girls' magazines at that time, the author who was recommended at the same time as me became an instant hit, but I was always unknown and took a path that was not very different from my peers. Be disciplined in school, take classes after class, do a serious internship and write papers, and just hope to find a good job after graduation. I never forget my dreams, but many things in the world, really It's not about trying. The birth of a popular writer requires the right time, place and people. Under the radiance, there is a kind of thing called luck that is composed of countless inevitable and accidental. If the good wind does not come, no amount of effort will not be enough to send you to Qingyun Road. Later, I became seriously ill. After I recovered, I worked as a small copywriter in a small county town. When I met an ordinary man who loved me enough, I put on a wedding dress and stepped into the siege. Vigorous love has not been discussed before, Zi Mo Hongchen rushed to her face, life sank into firewood, rice, oil and salt, and she lived the same life as many couples. Who washes the dishes and fights for, quarrels about playing games and shopping on Taobao, worrying about when to have children... Fortunately, I still write and read, and the girl in my heart is always alive. I thought that although I accepted the ordinary and ordinary life, I never exiled my whole life to the vast world of red dust. When I was young, I was afraid that my life would be ordinary, and I would even pretend to be profound in my words to disguise my shallowness. But when one third of my life has passed, I gradually understand that growing up is to make peace with this increasingly dull life. Because I have been working hard, I know that ordinary does not mean mediocrity. With heaven and earth in my heart and hills and valleys in my heart, ordinary fireworks days can still be lived as poems. 3 Dayong was one of my childhood playmates. Now he is a farmer at home and has both children. When chatting with me, he proudly told me that he earned nearly 100,000 yuan by growing potatoes this year. He said, "I'm just an ordinary farmer now, but if I can support a family and build a small villa, I feel like I'm great." This boy with slightly dull aptitude was given a lot of training when he was a child because of his poor grades. He often frowned and complained to me, "I really can't read well!" He didn't have any skills. He left home with his luggage when he turned 18, but he never made a name for himself, so he packed his luggage again. back home. Farmers, the most common job in the world, but Da Yong is very happy to do it. He has traveled, worked hard, and worked hard all over the world, and finally found that the most suitable place for him to depend on for life is the land under his feet. When he was a child, he longed to become Andy Lau, standing on the stage to respond. Now he thinks that earning the family's food and clothing with his own hands is the greatest success. In this change of thinking, he is led by a sense of responsibility and completes the transition from youth to youth. Accepting one's own ordinary is the real sign of a person's maturity. It sounds a little sad. I was walking on the street, watching the hawkers who came and went, each rushing for life, and they couldn't do earth-shattering great things in their lives, but they must be losers? As children, they support their parents; as partners, they cling to each other; as Parents, they do their best. The peace and joy of a family is born here. Ordinary, does not mean failure, does not mean that the whole game is lost. There is only one sun and only one moon, but on those starry nights, the world will always be extraordinarily gentle and beautiful. If you can't be the moon, you can be a star, and the light is bright every night, a quiet little light, but enough to illuminate a certain corner. 4 More than 90% of us will eventually become ordinary people in the vast sea of ​​people. There is nothing wrong with this. If there is an artificial atomic bomb, there must be someone selling tea eggs. The same is to serve the people. The strong foundation of a healthy and civilized society is the tens of millions of ordinary civilians. The famous writer Liang Xiaosheng also said: Without the recognition of ordinary and ordinary people, any constitution of any country has no meaning. The word "citizen" It will also become absurd and ridiculous because of the loss of the civilian component. But why are we still afraid of ordinary life? A friend said, because ordinary people can't live a good life. Can't afford to live in a good house, can't drive a good car, and be looked down upon by others. It seems that only a strong foundation of fame and fortune can be considered a complete life. Perhaps the values ​​of the entire society are too single, and the value of success is always only visible to the naked eye, such as houses, cars, and tickets. So, there are so many people who are depressed and unwilling. But I think that people who have really worked hard will eventually let go of the final result, even if it is not so satisfactory. Because the ordinary is not terrible, the life of mediocrity without experiencing struggle is terrible. Zhou Guoping said: "There are three growths in life: first, when you realize that you are no longer the center of the world, second, when you realize that you can't do anything no matter how hard you try, and third, when you accept your ordinary and enjoy it." Regrettably, , Too many people stop at the second growth, and fail to discover the ordinary world of one flower, one world, one leaf and one bodhi from the vast world. Your ability is limited, opportunities are limited, and energy is also limited. After traveling through the world, you suddenly look back, and when the lights are dimmed, you can still raise your head to look at the moon and bow your head to recite poetry.
