Hu Ping An's face was lost after being slapped twice by Cang Long. Cang Long released the hand that locked his throat and stood up. Hu Ping An was lying on the ground with a look of loss. His body was shaking from time to time, and he sobbed from time to time.
His eyes were no longer as domineering as before. When Canglong looked at him, his eyes were still evasive from time to time.
After being silent for a while, Hu Pingan sat up, lowered his head and said in deep thought: "Teacher Cang, you have never thought that it would be too difficult for people with no background like me to realize their dreams. This is not fair in the first place."
In this society, do you know how much I long for such an opportunity? What is in front of me is a huge opportunity for me."
"Opportunity?" Canglong looked at him, his face softened a bit, "Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. In my opinion, you are not prepared at all."
"Why am I not ready?" Hu Ping'an suddenly raised his head, looking high-spirited, but whenever he looked at Canglong, his eyes involuntarily dodge away, as if those eyes could always see through his appearance.
His disguise reveals his inner weakness.
This feeling made him uncomfortable. At least he had never felt this way when he and Cang Long looked at each other before, but he was still unconvinced and said: "For poor children like us, youth is capital, and we can only rely on continuous
Only by practicing hard in society can you be successful."
Hearing this, Cang Long looked at him with some sympathy, because people who have never been poor will never know what it is like to be poor, and people who have never been rich will never understand the difficulties of the rich.
In Chinese society, it seems that only the rich are qualified to pursue their dreams, while the poor seem to have to work hard on their own. Even in this unfair society, efforts may not be rewarded. This is what Hu Ping'an said.
The meaning is also what he thinks of society.
"Do you know why I tell you to realize your dreams?" Canglong suddenly asked.
Hu Ping'an suddenly raised his head: "Isn't it just for us to have a future? But you don't know that people are different. Just like Class 9, people from my family background are at the bottom."
"The word "progress" has many definitions. For your parents, the definition of "progress" may mean being rich in the future, but my definition of the word "progress" is very simple. Do what you want to do and study hard.
That field, this is what I think is promising. There is no distinction between high and low in the industry. No matter what you want to do, you will be promising in the future. It’s just that you are too anxious now and can’t wait to be promising. But you
But you have forgotten that you are not ready, how can you be successful?" Canglong asked.
"However, what I am doing now is what I want to do, and it will definitely be something promising in the future." Hu Pingan's eyes were firm.
"But are you really ready?" Canglong stared at him.
Originally, Hu Ping'an blurted out and wanted to say that he was ready, but when Cang Long stared at him, he immediately lost his confidence and finally swallowed the words on his lips: "I don't know."
"Do you know what it means to have thick accumulation but thin hair?" Canglong looked at Hu Ping'an and continued.
"I know, you can often see this in online novels. After a period of accumulation, it finally shines with the most dazzling brilliance." Hu Ping'an suddenly showed interest on his face.
"Yes, it is the accumulation of time that finally blooms with the most dazzling brilliance. The preparation I am talking about is the accumulation of this time." Canglong said lightly, "But have you been prepared? Let me ask you, you are eighteen
What have you accumulated over the years? What have you accumulated that is helpful to your career?"
Hearing this, Hu Ping'an was dumbfounded. He recalled that although he had been studying for eighteen years, the things he had accumulated, apart from helping him to read and speak, did not seem to have many specialties, let alone a lot of accumulation.
Seemingly seeing through Hu Ping'an's thoughts, Canglong continued: "In fact, everyone understands the principle of thick accumulation and thin hair, but no one does it, because there are too many temptations in reality, but I think thick accumulation and thin hair,
There are two explanations. The first is the strength accumulated through the tempering of life. The second is the strength accumulated through experience and learning. No matter ancient or modern, there are many such people. There is an old Chinese saying, called
Do you understand the saying that a late bloomer blooms?"
"Understood." Hu Pingan nodded.
"You understand, but you only understand the literal meaning. But you don't know that many influential figures in history were late bloomers. For example, Cao Cao did not start to make a fortune until he was forty years old. Another example is Zhuge Liang. When Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times,
, Zhuge Liang is twenty-seven years old, Zhuge Liang is the most representative? Because he is recognized as a wise man and a genius, but who would have thought that Zhuge Liang was just a commoner before he visited the thatched cottage?" Canglong looked at it with a smile.
Hu Pingan.
At this moment, Hu Pingan was completely attracted.
"Whether it is Cao Cao or Zhuge Liang, they both achieved their brilliant achievements after a period of study. This is the true accumulation of thick and thin." Cang Long said solemnly.
"But they all have..." Hu Ping'an originally wanted to say that they all became famous because of the appreciation of others.
"You want to say that they are in troubled times, and you want to say that they are appreciated by Bole?" Canglong shook his head, "Although Cao Cao did not claim to be emperor, he used the emperor to control the princes, why did he need anyone to appreciate him? If Zhuge Liang hadn't been here
The local area has a great reputation, why would Liu Bei invite him? What qualifications does he have to be invited by Liu Bei to be a military advisor?"
Hu Ping'an was speechless by Cang Long's words. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He wanted to find an excuse and said that it was ancient times, not modern times.
But Canglong added: "This is true even in modern times. If an opportunity suddenly appears in front of you, but you have not accumulated enough knowledge, do you dare to do it? Do you have the confidence to do it? Are you qualified to do it?
So I say, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, not for those who talk about ambitions all day long."
Hu Ping'an was silent. He felt that he seemed to be the empty talker behind Cang Long's back. He had a passion for getting ahead, but he didn't have the capital to get ahead.
"No matter what your background is, if you are unwilling to accumulate enough knowledge, you will not achieve anything in the end. Even if you are rich, you will become a prodigal in the end." Cang Long looked at Hu Ping'an seriously, "It's the same sentence,
You don’t have a huge fortune for you to squander, nor do you have enough knowledge to make a fortune, so why don’t you study? What other reasons do you have to tell me that you are ready?”
"But this society is so unfair!" Hu Ping'an was a little angry when he said this, "Everything you do now depends on relationships. Without relationships, you can't do anything well or achieve anything."
"You are just an excuse. When you are truly knowledgeable and capable, there are many people who appreciate you. The reason why you feel that no one appreciates you now, no one thinks highly of you, and there is no fairness is because you have not let others give you
Fair strength, do you understand?" Canglong said every word, almost through gritted teeth.
When it fell on Hu Ping'an's ears, it suddenly became very heavy, making him a little breathless. It seemed that apart from complaining about unfairness, he never thought about whether he had the ability to let others give him fairness.
"Besides being young, what else do I have?" Hu Ping'an lowered his head and muttered to himself, becoming confused.
"Because you are young, you still have time to accumulate enough knowledge. This is your capital. There is a saying in China that it is better to bully the old than the young. This is because young people's ambitions have not failed, because you have time to fail." Canglong.
He said calmly.
"Then what is success?" Hu Pingan was suddenly confused and looked up at his teacher.
"I don't know what success is, because the definition of success is different in the eyes of many people, and the success I think is having a happy family and a few people I can love for the rest of my life. This is the success in my eyes.
." Canglong looked at Hu Ping'an and said, "Although I don't know what kind of success you want in your heart, I can tell you what kind of person will succeed?"
"What kind of person?" Hu Ping'an's eyes suddenly shone with light, but he was a little disappointed.
Canglong said calmly: "There is a kind of person who failed once and has been unable to recover since then and does not dare to face failure anymore. There is a kind of person who has failed countless times but still moves forward courageously. Which kind of person do you think will succeed?"
"Of course he is the one who can still stand up after failing countless times." Hu Pingan became very wise at this moment.
"Then what's the difference between the two people?" Canglong asked again.
"This..." Hu Ping'an suddenly didn't know how to answer.
"It is faith. Even if the first person is young and has time, he has no chance to succeed because he has given up his belief in success, while the second person will always succeed no matter how many times he tries, because
He insists on the belief that he wants to succeed, and this is what I think is the necessary rule for success." Canglong said.
Hearing this, Hu Ping'an stood stunned, not knowing what to say.
"Don't bully a young man into being poor. You have enough time to accumulate, and you are not afraid of failure. Is there any reason why you can't succeed?" Canglong asked again, "But the prerequisite for all this is that you are ready."
Hu Pingan regretted it, looked at Canglong and suddenly said: "Then...do I still have a chance now?"
"you mean?"
"Didn't you call the police?" Hu Pingan looked worried.
"Call the police?" Canglong shook his head, "Why should I call the police?"
Hearing this, Hu Ping'an immediately felt relieved, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of fighting outside the door, and it got closer and closer, and several screams came from outside from time to time.
After a while, the door was suddenly kicked open, and Wen Wen, panting in plain clothes, appeared in front of the two of them. Cang Long's expression immediately changed and he looked at Hu Pingan.
At the same time, Hu Pingan also looked at her, because Wen Wen knew Hu Pingan and was a policeman, but Canglong just told him that he did not call the police.
For a moment, Hu Ping'an's face suddenly changed, his eyes were full of confusion about being deceived, and then anger and hatred. He looked at Canglong and said coldly: "So you are talking to me so much just to wait for the police to arrest me, okay?
