Many times, we seem to have reached the end of our lives and there is no hope to speak of, but this may just be a turning point in our lives...
Just like Andy, we will inevitably experience the low point of life; but also like Andy, never give up hope, always move towards a goal, there will be a day when it will be achieved!
Andy's success is not accidental, but a necessity. Andy owns the rules, even the rules. From Andy volunteering to write an application form for the prison officer, to applying for an education fund for Dekins, to keeping the library in good order, to laundering money for the warden, and finally mastering all the evidence, taking the Shawshank Prison to court, taking Shawshank to court Those who were corrupt and perverted the law in prison were brought to justice... All of these reflect his intelligence and understanding of the rules...
This can't help but remind me of "Dragon Sakura": If you don't want to be "cheated" again, if you don't want to be labeled as a "stupid" anymore, and if you don't want to be bullied again, be a maker of rules and master the rules! It's not like this in life, if you don't want to be enslaved by the so-called rules all the time, try to become the maker of the rules, at least the controller of the rules!
Furthermore, his perseverance is evident from the fact that he persisted in writing a letter to the state Senate every week for six years. This also paved the way for Andy to finally dig a hole for escape after spending 20 years. Persistence is always strong. After the State Senate reluctantly gave Andy $200 in a dispassionate attitude, Andy still didn't give up. He began to write two letters a week, and finally won $500 a year for the library. His strong perseverance and long-term persistence, Finally made him start his library... His persistence finally allowed him to escape the terrible Shawshank Prison, escape the terrifying clutches of the warden's coercion...
Andy has a great advantage, that is, he understands life, loves life, loves freedom, and always has a hope in his heart! It is very important to have a clear goal, but in the long process of realization, you must have a life, even if the conditions are difficult, you must still live beautifully and live your own life. A successful person must first be a person who understands life! Even in prison, Andy still insists on cultivating his temperament and insisting on having his own life: carving chess pieces, opening a library... A person who has a life must be a successful person, at least a person with a strong heart and indestructible!
Compared with the fat man who collapsed and begged for mercy on the first day and finally failed to end in a happy life... crying and wailing in a seemingly desperate place is completely useless. If you want to get out of the desperate situation, you must calm down, find a solution, wait for the right time, and then... rush out of the desperate situation! Andy did it, and even after he fled, it all came naturally...
I remember that after Andy escaped, there was a narration "He polished his shoes so that no one noticed..." and Andy was meticulous about helping the warden to launder money, and even finally appeared as a character he had made up for a long time... ...shows Andy's care. It can be seen that at any time, you can't panic when you do anything, you should deal with it calmly, and you can't relax until things are successful. Confidence must be there, but not conceited!
I once saw a passage on the Internet, which roughly means that people who have been in prison often choose to commit crimes again because the world has not collapsed as they imagined after they come out - which is what Red said "institutionalized ( Institutionalization)" - After Brooks was released from prison, there was no hope in life, and he chose to die... But Red, who was also released from prison in the end, chose because of a promise - the gift under the cobblestone, which is Red's inner hope - Together with Andy, realize the vision of the past...
Maybe we've complained like Red, "same old shit, different day! (new day, old disappointment!)" but maybe it's a reflection of our lack of clarity and purpose in ourselves. I don't know what I want, and I don't know what to believe, so I seem to be pursuing something aimlessly every day, facing the same unsatisfactory sentence...
But Andy's craving for freedom is evident from the fact that he builds the library, asks the jailer for a cold beer in return, and broadcasts "The Marriage of Figaro." Because Andy's desire for freedom is extremely strong and pure, and he has been acting for his own freedom, so he must eventually usher in what he desires most, freedom!
If you want to pursue something, keep pursuing it without forgetting your original intention, calmly and flexibly deal with many obstacles caused by your inner desires and actions you have made for your dreams, overcome them one by one, and realize your dreams. No matter how difficult the process is, do not forget life.
"If a person insists on doing one thing, then it is very difficult for this thing to fail!" If you are determined to pursue one thing and keep moving in the direction you want, although it may go through setbacks, it will definitely Get the results you want!
As Andy said in his letter to Red: "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing in the world, and no good thing ever dies! Don't fade away!)"
Never give up hope, even at the last minute!
