Life is like a thread. As long as today continues and there is hope for tomorrow, we are always at the starting point, always on the road of running. The key is that you must run hard. Do not fear the length of the road, nor complain about the lack of scenery along the way. A person's journey always involves difficulties, temptations, helplessness, and traps. Never despair at any moment. As long as you keep running, the rough patches under your feet are actually the cornerstones that elevate your life. Perhaps the turning point will appear around the next corner.
However, many people fail to move forward because they drift with the current and lack ambition; because they fear their parents, listen to relatives, lack independence, and dare not make decisions alone; because they hold traditional views, wanting only to marry, have children, and repeat their parents' lives; because they are inherently fragile and slow-minded, preferring routine jobs. Some dream of zero-capital businesses, waiting for fortune to fall from the sky. They complain about a lack of opportunities, yet when opportunities arrive, they fail to seize them due to a lack of ability. Poverty leads to inferiority, inferiority leads to retreat, and retreat leads to inaction, ultimately trapping them in the same vicious cycle as their parents, living a life of mediocrity. Many people want to seize opportunities but make excuses to themselves before acting, falling into contradiction and wasting time. For example:
Some people claim they lack eloquence. In fact, no one is born a great speaker. The masters on stage did not become articulate overnight; it is the result of countless rehearsals behind the scenes. You are skilled at cursing and complaining, but that is valueless eloquence. You criticize others during arguments but never reflect on yourself. If you put in the effort to practice, would you still say you lack eloquence today?
