Chirs is an unfortunate man. He used all his savings to buy a bunch of bone scanners that couldn't be sold. He ran every day trying to sell them. Without money, he couldn't pay the rent, and he couldn't let his children get well. kindergarten...the wife left him, the landlord kicked him out, everything seemed so bad. Chirs could have earned money to support him and his son by working part-time, but at the same time he had an extremely rare internship opportunity. As long as he practiced for six months and got the first grade, he could become an investment manager , unfortunately, there is no salary for the internship. In fact, this is a multiple-choice question. A. Give up the opportunity for an internship and go to work to maintain a basic living; B. Part-time in an internship, and use the money from selling scanners to make ends meet and last six months.

I think most people with a little ambition will choose B, because there is only one chance, you can do it, and if you don't do it, it will never be possible. Chirs also chose B. It seems that we can see the best happy ending of the movie. Chirs has survived for six months, and has been the first in sales, and has a good life with his son. Of course, I will not deny it. This is the film At the end of the movie, we can even label it with the fairy tale label of "So the prince and princess lived happily ever after".

But this movie isn't a fairy tale because there's a multiple choice question in it, in the motel days, Chris sold all the scanners, and they can get through these six months, but life isn't what you want it to be That's all, he didn't pay his taxes in time, all the money in his bank account was taken by the government, he had no money to stay in a hotel, he had nothing to say except a broken scanner, he and his son Even staying in the toilet of the subway all night, when someone keeps knocking on the door, what kind of despair it must be. The multiple-choice questions came out: A. Give up the internship and find a subsistence job, at least give the son a place to live; B. Continue the internship and take the son to run around various shelters.

You can choose very calmly, it's B, right? That's because you know the ending. For example, if I want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, I get a time machine and go to the future. When I see that I'm accepted, I can resist no matter how hard my life is after I come back, because I know that there will be value. Unfortunately, there is no time machine in this world, at least we don't have one, so we don't even know if what we're doing is worth it or not, and whether it's just a waste of time. People don't have much time, especially young people. This is a very realistic multiple-choice question, and it is also a very common multiple-choice question. Some of you are doing it, and some have already done it.

In "The Butterfly Effect", this is a choice point. Different choices are different in life. You don't know which is good and which is bad. You only have one life, which means you can only make one choice. Said that of course I choose to pursue ideals, but reality is not a movie, how many real pursuits are there in reality, if you don't take the postgraduate entrance exam and work hard, maybe when your graduate student goes out of school, you have already done a lot in business. Fist and feet, and those who passed the test were better, while those who did not pass the test still need to start over looking for a job, a difficult multiple-choice question.

In the movie, Chris' son told a very useless story, "A man was drowning, and a boat came to rescue him, he refused, he said 'God came back to save me', and then another boat came, He still refused, he said 'God came back to save me', then he was drowned and came to heaven to see God, he asked God that I believe in you so much, why didn't you come to save me, God said 'I saved me , those two ships are the ones I asked to rescue you'". In this movie, he actually wants to say that happiness has already come, and the key is whether you grasp it or not. I said he was useless because the person in the story was already dead. Even if he knew it, what would he do? Except for regret, I don't think it would make any sense. Of course, the premise is that there is no time machine, hehe.

Let’s just write so much, it’s a bit messy, but you can just read it after reading it. Well, that, if you have seen this sentence, it means that you have finished reading it.
