I used to think I was very cool, leading the way wherever I went. Because there were so many supporters, those who had objections didn't dare to say it. Now I have come alone to this beautiful big city. I have fallen from being the boss of a jewelry counter to being an employee in a jewelry shop. It's the same jewelry store, the same person working there, just the place has changed, and unexpectedly, my status has also changed.
From here, I can't help but think about us humans. The same talent, the environment determines whether you will shine or not. Maybe one day when you get lucky, some expert might discover you, but who can afford to wait for such an opportunity? Just like those jewelry items, people who are capable of buying jewelry from the counter will they pay attention to the roadside stalls?
Nowadays, in this society, having ability doesn't necessarily guarantee a bright future. When fate is not in your hands, forcing it won't work. Otherwise, why have there been so many talented people throughout history who haven't met their match?
Therefore, it reminds us even more that we should cherish the opportunities at hand, and take every step of life carefully. Regardless of whether it's because of the environment that we are so happy, as long as we are happy, that's all that matters.
Listening to friends around me talking about living a simple life, life is so long, wanting to live simply is not something that can be achieved with just a few words. Only when you truly experience it, does it count.
The Spring Festival is coming soon, but I don't know if I should go home or not. More contradictory is that I don't know how to face going home. I feel too ashamed to lose face, and I don't want my parents to worry about me. Why can't such a beautiful city accommodate me? Is life really this difficult?
