Family and career from opposition to unity is a big test for men to go through

When I wrote this review, I was sitting in the office, and 3 hours ago, I made a WeChat video with my wife and 19-month-old son. This is basically my daily routine. It is not a problem for a novice dad in a different place. It's easy, even for a new mother whose husband is not around. For my son, I only know that it will make him very happy if I go back to accompany him or show him the new skills he has learned through WeChat.

After watching the movie, I was reflecting on myself. Most of the time, I used my own business as a shield to block my responsibilities. Family and career, sometimes it is not so easy for people to find a balance. Headhunting has a heartwarming ending, and I wish I could too. I take on the pressure of running a business every day, try my best to arrange my time, deal with difficult things, and at the same time appease the complaints from my family. Sometimes I deal with it, sometimes I deal with it, and in essence, I consider this matter on the opposite side. This is the limitation of my thinking. I have too many things to do, too many goals to accomplish, my life and my work are disconnected, think about it, people around me are suffering from the negative effects of this disconnection, I need make changes.

I am 32 years old, my career is at a critical stage, and my family needs me especially. I signed on WeChat and wrote that "difficulties need to be solved by upgrading." The transition from opposition to unity in family and career is a big test that men have to go through. I hope that I can hand in the answer sheet that will satisfy my future self.

  • Lou Wheeler: All families got problems but you only got one.

  • [first lines]

    Dane Jensen: [narrating] I am a headhunter and I am the purest form of salesman alive. I sell the American dream. I make money out of thin air, smoke, whole cloth. I stand on the shoulders of giants, the hardest of hardened salesmen. Tin men, Bible salesmen, slum realtors. We're a wolf pack of commissioned phone jockeys working 70 hours a week without a net. You hit, you hit big. You blank, and the repo man's tailgating the minivan at the grocery store. This job is a desk, a phone, a chair, and your ass.
