"Life..." Lao Li repeated a sentence, and then turned to look at me: "Xiaoyi, I ask you, what is life?"


    I did not hesitate to answer: "life is struggle!"


    "Well "Right:" Lao Li nodded: "then what are you fighting for?"


    "For ideal career and love!" I said.


    "Well Well said Lao Li looked at me with his favorite eyes: "yes, life is struggle, for ideal career and love This life includes career, glory, food and drink, life and friendship Do you know the highest level of these things? "


    I thought about it: "I think it''s very complicated. I can''t say it right now. I want to hear it from you."


    Lao Li said: "many things in life are so complicated that they become simple After all the vicissitudes, I suddenly look back and find that life is just so simple and clear The highest realm of career is not how big an official you are and how much money you earn, but how much your family thinks of you and your company thinks of you. The highest realm of honor is not how many advanced titles you have won or how much admiration you have won, but how far away you are from the river and the river is still telling you. The best realm of eating and drinking is not how many delicacies you can enjoy, not how many world famous wines you can drink, but you Also know who he is, and he no longer knows who you are


    "The highest realm of life is not how old you can live, not how many hardships and setbacks you overcome, but how you come and go in this world with tears and smiles; the highest realm of friendship is not how many friends you have made, nor how many intimate same-sex or opposite sex friends you have, but how often you don''t keep in touch with each other for a long time."


    Looking at Lao Li''s face full of life experience, I nodded deeply: "Lao Li, what you said is wonderful It must contain your rich life experience. "


    Lao Li said: "life is short. When you come to this world, you either have never heard of it all your life, or you will go on a grand journey Life needs struggle, and life needs experience. No matter it''s struggle or experience, you should always remember that you should constantly refuel yourself, learn to pay, learn to contribute, learn to protect yourself, and learn to be independent. "


    I nodded: "this society is very realistic, very cruel, very cold, very heartless."


    Lao Li said, "yes There has never been a savior in the world. Only cowardly people think about a savior. Truly powerful people never expect a savior The society is indifferent, refuels oneself, is better than hopes others to encourage; the society is realistic, increases the strength oneself, is better than beggars gives you the opportunity; the society is cruel, discovers the mistake oneself, is better than others sneers coldly; the society is heartless, strengthens own resources and the foundation, is better than flatters others; in the society survival needs the price, you need to pay for the accumulation experience It''s better to have some pain than nothing in retrospect. "


    I listened to Lao Li''s words and watched him attentively.


    Lao Li added: "people live in this society. People are social people. Society is human society. You can''t ask society to adapt to you. You can only adapt to society If you can''t get used to a lot of things, you will find that there are always people and things you can''t get used to, just like the clumps of weeds, with endless wildfires and spring breeze. Since you can''t stop others from happy life, you must not do whatever you want to do?


    "When we live in this society, we should learn to tolerate the society and the objective existence around us To know a person, don''t say enough and keep some virtue; to blame a person, don''t be harsh and keep some magnanimity; to be able, don''t be arrogant and keep some connotation; to be sharp, don''t show enough and keep some deep; to be meritorious, don''t invite enough and keep some humility; to be reasonable, don''t fight enough and keep some tolerance; to be favored, don''t rely on enough and keep some backwardness; to be powerful, don''t rely on enough and keep some kindness; to be rich, don''t enjoy enough and keep some fortune; to do everything, keep some happiness I want to know more about Yu De


    I nodded: "yes, the initiative of everyone''s fate can only be in their own hands Whether it''s right or wrong, whether it''s merits or demerits, whether it''s success or failure. "


    "Yes Lao Li looked at me with admiration: "all successful people will be able to firmly control the initiative of their own destiny The fullness of ideal and the cruelty of reality make most people sad! Everyone is eager for happiness, everyone is searching for their own story, but they are often beaten in front of reality In the face of failure, some people choose to accuse the reality, some choose to stand still, some choose to wait and see. In fact, instead of waiting for good luck, it''s better to take the initiative. The amount of travel determines the quality of life; the level of initiative determines the quality of happiness!


    "A perfect life should have three levels. The first level is to look far. The second level is to see through the complicated phenomena, which is a kind of ability and a unique vision to see the essence through the phenomena; the third level is to look down on fame and wealth, to look down on the complicated world, and to do nothing. ”


    I listened to Lao Li carefully and looked at him for a moment: "Lao Li, how do you know so much? How can you have so much insight into life? "Lao Li said with a smile: "when you are my age, your perception will be more than me, and you will know more than me This life is a big stage. Everyone plays different roles on this stage Some people are suitable for the leading role, some people can only be suitable for the supporting role. "


    I said, "yes Life is a big stage, we are all actors Different occasions, different stages, each person plays a different role However, I think a successful person, no matter in what state and change, will do one thing, that is, no matter what he plays, he will be like anything. "


    Lao Li nodded: "well said It''s very valuable for you to understand this when you are young Yes, in life, we should have a quiet heart in the face of what we can''t change, and a brave heart in the face of what we can change, but in any case, we should have a heart of wisdom to distinguish whether we can change Only such a person can be a good actor. "


    I benefited a lot from the discussion with Lao Li. I think Lao Li is really a person with rich connotation. I can''t help but feel lucky that I have made such a good friend. Good people have good rewards. It seems that I got a good reward for saving Lao Li that day. The reward is that I made him such a friend who can be my tutor.


    After a while, Lao Li asked me, "by the way, Xiaoyi, didn''t you say that you wanted to take down the subscription project of Sanshui group that day? How''s it going? "


    I said, "it hasn''t started yet, I''m looking for the right opportunity I''ve just received the big list of their travel. First, I''ll hold on to it, and then I''ll find the right time to start. "


    "Ha ha, you are taking both public and private interests into consideration..." Lao Li laughed.


    "Ha ha The travel company belongs to my girlfriend. I''m a helper, but she is the main operator As the general manager of tourism, I have a good reputation when I go out to negotiate. " I said.


    "Oh It seems that you have put a lot of energy on the business of the distribution company of Xinghai media group that you are doing now? " Lao Li said.


    "Yes In fact, I really like working in the workplace. I have unlimited love for business and sales! " I said.


    "Hehe, what''s your position in Xinghai media group now?" Lao Li said.


    "Hey, hey A small head of a department in the issuing company. " I said.


    "This Xinghai media group is an enterprise management of public institutions. Its management system has Chinese socialist characteristics. It is half officialdom and half state-owned enterprise Working in such an organization is very different from working in a private enterprise. " Lao Li said.


    "Yes, you''re right." I said: "I''ve been in for more than a year, and I still can''t adapt to many aspects It seems that the operation mode of this unit is enterprise, but the operation system has the strong color of officialdom On the one hand, the operation of the group''s subordinates is calling for market integration, but on the other hand, it has a lot of planning elements This kind of unit is really difficult to mix. "


    Lao Li laughs: "it''s not difficult to mix well and succeed in this kind of company."


    I said, "what''s the trick?"


    Lao Li said: "it''s not a knack, but a down-to-earth approach Based on your current situation and position, I suggest you make a few points. "


    I laughed and looked at Lao Li with interest: "you know this kind of state-owned enterprise Lao Li, you can do it. Tell me about it. "


    Lao Li said: "my suggestion may not be correct, for your reference In my opinion, in the workplace under this system, you have to solve five problems. First of all, follow an intelligent leader to solve the problem of route Secondly, cultivate a group of competent subordinates to solve performance problems; thirdly, select a group of leading partners to solve the problem of sustainable development Fourth, educate a sensible family member to ensure that there are no problems in the rear. Finally, set a goal to solve the problem of ideological orientation If you have solved these five problems, plus your own ability and efforts, I think you will get very good results. "


    I laughed and gave Lao Li a thumbs up: "OK, Lao Li, you are really good. You are right in the first one. Now I am following a wise leader."


    "Oh Beautiful boss? " Lao Li looked at me with a smile.


    I nodded: "yes, you know that!"


    "Qiu Tong?" Lao Li continued.


    "Oh Do you know him? " I laugh.


    "It''s not that I know, but I''ve heard that there is a very capable female chief executive of Xinghai media group." "It''s said that the female boss is not old, she looks amazing and beautiful. She not only has outstanding appearance, but also has excellent ability to do things, style and quality," he said


    "Ha ha..." I laughed happily: "you''re right, it''s true."


    I can''t help feeling proud and proud.


    "It''s hard to find such an excellent person in the sludge management system." Lao Li sighed for a moment, then looked at me: "Xiaoyi, I have to congratulate you, congratulations on you to have such a good leader."


    "Ha ha Happy together, happy together I grinned."Now you are approaching the period of big subscription for newspapers. That Sanshui group is a big unit. The newspaper group over there subscribes. You should pay close attention to it Don''t be robbed by other newspapers at that time? " Lao Li also mentioned the issue of subscribing to newspapers.


    "Yes, we must pay close attention to it. Our group estimates that it will soon be able to pass our company''s big subscription plan. As long as it has passed, I will operate it." I said.


    "How sure are you?" Lao Li looks at me.


    I thought about it and gave my right hand a slap: "50% sure!"


    "Only 50%? I thought you were 100 percent sure? " Lao Li looked disappointed.
