Folk stories about working hard for dreams

In the past few days, the company has officially signed a contract with a girl, hiring her as the company's screenwriter and responsible for a project that is about to start. And this girl was just a little assistant serving tea and water in our company four years ago.

This is a story about inspiration.

Four years ago, the girl joined our company when she was about to graduate. She followed the screenwriters every day to make simple meeting minutes and handle some basic auxiliary work. It was a dispensable position with a very low salary. Whether you can stay or not depends on the boss's mood. One day the girl told me privately that she also wanted to be a screenwriter and asked me if I could participate in the project. I read what she had written before and told her that her current level was still far from the job requirements. If she really wanted to do this, she would need to put in a lot of effort and effort, and even if she did It’s also very hard work in this business. From the perspective of being responsible for her, I hope she will think clearly. After all, she is not a local. It is not difficult for her family to find a stable job in her hometown. There is no need to put in so much hard work. The girl said she understood.

After graduation, the girl did not go home to look for a job. She stayed in Beijing and persisted in writing. She would take on any suitable project as long as there was a suitable one. She never asked about remuneration, no matter how big or small the workload was. She completed them all on time and conscientiously. Although her level was still limited, she could see her improvement every time. Slowly, her first digital movie was broadcast on the movie channel, and the girl happily sent me a text message asking me to give her advice. Soon, the second part, the third part... and another participating work was broadcast on CCTV and achieved good ratings. The girl has become a qualified screenwriter, even better than my former teacher in some aspects.

Finally, the company had a new project, and I immediately decided to ask her to take charge of it, and I believed that she would do a good job because she never gave up on her dream.

Speaking of inspirational, another friend is even more legendary. More than ten years ago, after graduating from high school in Hunan, he did not go to college. After hanging around for a few years, he decided to go south alone to Guangzhou to work hard. I had no diploma and no relatives. When I first arrived in Guangzhou, I simply slept on the lawn under an overpass in the suburbs. After working in a small steel company for a period of time, he finally had the opportunity to contract a project on his own, which earned him more than 200,000 yuan. We are all very happy for him. After all, it is surprising enough to go from sleeping on the lawn to earning more than 200,000 yuan overnight. But this friend actually didn't ask for a penny. He gave all the money to the elder brother who introduced the project to repay his kindness. From then on, all the projects of the elder brother were only contracted out to this friend. I am afraid everyone can think of the next story. The friend lived a prosperous life from then on, bought an Audi, and also bought a large villa in the suburbs of Guangzhou. What's even more dramatic is that this friend took on a project, which was to repair the overpass where he once slept. He personally went to the construction site and told the workers to plant the lawn under the bridge to make it more comfortable. This is where I started my business, and there will definitely be people sleeping here in the future.

In today’s society, inspiration has become a fashionable term, and various job search programs on TV encourage young people to work hard for their goals. Many young people also like to talk about inspiration, but in fact, inspiration is not a simple term, but requires long-term efforts for dreams, which is mixed with tears, sweat and even unknown bitterness. A young friend once complained to me that he had not caught up with the good times and could only do such a low-level and hard job. I told him, compared with your parents, your life now is so much better. Our parents were once young. At our age, they couldn't even see their dreams. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles they encountered, didn't they keep their heads down and move forward step by step? One day, you will find that the footprints you have made are the most precious treasure in your life. Maybe you see their current wealth and leisure, but what you should see more is the hope that has never been extinguished in their hearts over the past few decades, and everything they have sacrificed for hope.

After talking about inspirational things, let me tell you a little story that is not so beautiful. The company recently recruited a trainee screenwriter. The young man always looked ambitious and told me that he had endured a lot of hardships and would do anything for writing.

But what he wrote was always unsatisfactory. The company asked me to find a way to teach him. I gave him an assignment. He watched a TV series and then wrote down the story of each episode for me. The assignment was handed in a week later. They were all copied from the Internet. When I asked him why, he said that the play was too simple and he felt that he was not meant to do this kind of work. I smiled and dismissed him. I always feel that regardless of ability, a person with eyes on his head will always fall.

If you are still confused about your current unsatisfactory situation, my friend, please stop blaming others and there is no need to be obsessed with those heroic biographies. Take a look at the people around you who are working tirelessly for their dreams. , are the real heroes in life.
