Human efforts are the decisive factor.

Whenever I encounter difficulties or setbacks in my life, I always think of the tall Master Lin. He smiled at me and said seriously, "Don't be afraid, everything depends on human effort!" " "

199 1 failed in the college entrance examination and returned to his hometown in the countryside. After two months of self-healing, I rekindled my courage to live in the school season in September and went to the welfare factory in the town as a salesman.

As I just entered the factory and have no sales experience, the factory decided to let Master Lin, an experienced old salesman, take me to the Shanghai market to familiarize myself with the business.

It's a spring night with a continuous spring rain. Master Lin and I rode a "motorcycle" from our hometown near Shanghai to jinshanwei town, a suburb of Shanghai, and then took the commuter train to downtown Shanghai. Commuting train is a special train of Shanghai Petrochemical Plant for the convenience of urban workers commuting to jinshanwei town, and social passengers can also buy tickets.

The train started slowly, and most passengers were lazy and dozing off. The novelty of taking the train for the first time makes me feel tired.

Although I just took the short-distance green leather train, I felt extremely relaxed and happy in my heart, not because I took the train for the first time, but because of the frustration that the wheels would fall behind, the sigh of my parents, the ridicule of others and the depression in my heart. All this has been forgotten.

Outside the window, the rain stopped. The cloudy sky has also brightened. Thick clouds, as if suddenly torn a crack, a ray of deep red sunset poured on the earth, shining into the carriage, shining on me, making my eyes brighter.

Two hours later, we arrived at Shanghai Changning Railway Station. At this time, it was dark, and Shanghai was brightly lit and neon-lit.

The streets are busy and bustling. I am like a child going out for the first time, following Master Lin closely, for fear of getting lost accidentally.

Master Lin used to be a boy scout. He is tall, with long legs, and looks like he is in a hurry. I was thin at that time, and I was quickly pulled away.

Finding that I didn't keep up, Master Lin stopped. He turned around and smiled at me and said, "Young man, you should strengthen your exercise. Running sales outside and walking are the basic skills of salespeople! " "

I can't help blushing. I put my luggage on my shoulder and followed.

"We came to Shanghai a little late, and this hotel is not easy to find."

The hotel mentioned by Master Lin is the kind of cheap small hotel 10 yuan for one night. The travel standard of township enterprises is low: one day in hotel 15 yuan, and one day in 8 yuan. Master Miaolin told me that we should try our best to reduce expenses when we are on business trips. Only in this way can the factory have the money to give us bonuses.

Outside Changning Station is the downtown area of Zhongshan Park, and there are various small state-owned hotels on both sides of the street. Sure enough, Master Lin and I went in from this house and came out from that one, and every hotel was full.

"It's so hard to stay in a hotel in Shanghai!" This is beyond my expectation.

"What can we do without a hotel?" I looked at Master Lin anxiously.

Master Lin, stop. He put his luggage on the ground, took out his cigarette and lit one. Then he looked up and looked around, turned to me and said.

"See the alley? There must be a hotel inside. If it is not in the city, the guests will be dissatisfied. " Master Lin took a puff and said confidently.

By the dim street lamp, we searched in the alley wearily. We didn't see any hotels except houses and various shops on both sides.

The alley turned a corner. In the distance, a landing light box that reads "Changning Lock Factory Guest House" shines in the dark.

"Master Lin, look, there is a guest house in front!" I pointed to the distance and shouted excitedly.

"well! I am right! " Master Lin nodded, with pride on his face. "There must be a hotel in the alley!"

Finally, the hotel is in sight. It's a few shabby old houses with low eaves, so you can only go in with your head down. The red slogan "Long live Chairman Mao" painted with lime water can be faintly seen on the outer wall.

"Elder sister, please open a double room!" When we came to the service desk, Master Lin said and took a letter of introduction from the unit.

The hotel waiter is a thin-faced woman in a lapel shirt in her forties. She is taking out an aluminum lunch box from the steamer of the coal stove. It seems that she hasn't had dinner like us.

When she heard Master Lin say that she wanted to open a room, she turned her eyebrows up and down and gave Master Lin a hard look. Then she took a pair of chopsticks, knocked on the table and pointed to the door: "Look, look, the sign has long said that the room is full, don't open your eyes!" "

We didn't pay attention when we came in, because we were anxious to stay in the hotel. Looking back, sure enough, there was a "full house" sign at the door. Hey! The glimmer of hope we had just kindled suddenly went out.

Seeing that there was no room, I pulled Master Lin to leave, but Master Miaolin didn't mean to leave.

"Elder sister, help, we have found more than a dozen hotels, which are full. We haven't checked in yet at this late hour. Please do something." Master Lin was all smiles and sincere.

"I said nong is really a person. How can I find a way when the guests are full? " The waitress sounded impatient.

"We have just arrived in Shanghai and haven't eaten yet. Please do something! "

As soon as Master Lin reminded me, I was even hungrier. Looking at the waiter's aluminum box steamed rice, I couldn't help swallowing.

"We'll stay for one night and leave tomorrow!" Master Lin tried to express his demands.

The waitress ignored us and picked up the aluminum lunch box to eat.

"By the way, how could I forget!" Master Lin patted his head and continued: "When I went out this afternoon, my family cooked meat buns. Maybe it should still be warm now! "

Say that finish, Master Lin took out a few meat jiaozi from the luggage bag and respectfully carried it into the reception desk.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Master Lin's action surprised the waiter.

"A little local specialty, please try it!" Master Lin carefully handed the meat jiaozi to the waitress.

"Hey, Nong is really a man!" The waitress lightly chastised her tone, and finally accepted the minced meat jiaozi.

"Come here!" The waitress motioned Master Lin to come closer.

She put down the zongzi, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one else, she whispered, "There is really no vacant room, only the room cleaned by the guest is still empty, and the guest is on a business trip. You two want to stay one night, don't accept money, don't touch other people's things ... "

I couldn't believe my ears when I heard the waitress. I didn't think anything was really possible.

"really! Great, thank you so much, we met a good man today. " Master Lin kept bowing with his hands and thanking him in his mouth, and his attitude was as respectful as that of a pupil who humbly asked for advice in front of a teacher.

In the evening, lying in the hotel's soft "Simmons" bed, I couldn't help feeling deeply: "Master Lin, I thought there was no hope. I'm surprised that you actually turned the impossible into a possibility! "

Master Lin took a sip of his cigarette and smiled. He looked at me and said seriously, "No matter what kind of difficulties and setbacks you encounter, don't be afraid. Everything depends on people! "

From then on, Master Lin's sentence "Don't be afraid, it depends on human effort" was firmly imprinted in my heart. It has not only become the creed and motto of my life, but also my courage to overcome difficulties and the driving force to push myself forward.

Along the way, failures and setbacks will always occur, but every difficult moment, I will always think of Master Lin's calm expression and that serious and inspirational sentence: "Don't be afraid, it depends on human effort!"
