When faced with the same problem, we have many ways to solve it. Often, we may not find a better way, but we can find a more suitable one. In Beijing's outdoor training activities, team members often struggle to choose the right method, wavering and losing the best opportunity, thus failing to complete the task. Like doing multiple-choice questions, our lives are full of trade-offs. A thought forms and may be discarded instantly. This doesn't work, that's not feasible, we keep choosing in our minds. What influences our thoughts? Why do the things we want to do change three times a day? We start with firm determination, but later it breaks easily like a vase. What makes us lose our mental territory?
People often use the term "daydreaming" to satirize those who have unrealistic dreams. However, sometimes precisely because we have dreams, we may achieve something. The story of a thief named Stone is the best proof.
Stone grew up following his father, who made a living by stealing. After entering junior high school, Stone was ordered by his father to drop out and learn how to steal. Perhaps because he had attended school for a while, Stone knew stealing could harm others. He once secretly followed a person whose money was stolen by his father. That person was going to take the money to the hospital to pay for his daughter's surgery fees, but the money was stolen by Stone's father on the way. Because he couldn't afford the medical expenses, his daughter eventually died from her illness. Witnessing all this, Stone vowed to become a police officer when he grew up and catch all the thieves.
At the age of seventeen, Stone saw his father steal money from a man selling spicy hot pot on the street. That money was intended as tuition for his daughter who got admitted to a music conservatory, which was very expensive, so the vendor must have emptied his savings. Stone managed to take the money from his father and returned it to the vendor, but it was too late for the girl to register for school, so she missed her chance at university. When returning the money, Stone was caught on the spot and sent to a juvenile detention center. During his education in the juvenile detention center, Stone shared his ideals with the instructor. Not only did the instructor not mock him, but also provided him with many books to prepare for the police academy entrance exam. While in the juvenile detention center, Stone studied tirelessly, but his foundation was too weak, and he was still far from reaching the level required for the police academy entrance exam.
After being released from the juvenile detention center, Stone did not return home. He worked part-time in a restaurant and continued to study. Three years passed, and Stone finally got accepted into the police academy.
Stone grew up in a bad environment, where theft was all he saw and heard. For most people, their career choices are determined by their growing environment. In Stone's father's life, stealing was his entire existence, a normal way of life. However, Stone did not follow down this path. Regardless of how others mocked him, he persisted in pursuing his own ideal. In the end, he did not replicate his father's shameful life of petty thievery; instead, he could walk proudly under the sun. Thoughts determine a person's life, which needs no further explanation. If a person wants to do something, they must prepare for it and put in effort. Those who do nothing will lack thoughts and ideals, and their lives will be like machines, pushed around by fate.
