Life is not easy for anyone, and it is inevitable to move forward with heavy burdens.

I swiped my mobile phone last night, and such a headline attracted me, "I am a takeaway, but I don't want to pretend to be alive." Somehow, I think of "Beijing, 20 million people are pretending to live" that was deleted some time ago. I think being alive and being alive are just a state for us, but their connotations are quite different.

Near the broken sleep, I saw a favorite author's tweet, "Who hasn't been abused by life over and over again?" I can't help but want to smile. It's really not easy for everyone.

Every line and every business has its pains, not just delivery.

I remember meeting a very young Didi master in Nantong city in the first half of the year, aged 25 or 6. In the chat, I learned that he is the customer service supervisor of a travel network, and he takes a rest of about 4-5k a month, so he comes out on the rest day to earn money by carrying passengers through Didi. Out of curiosity, I asked him how much money he could earn from a single order. He also answered quite honestly that the platform was 25% and the rest was his own. Usually he can earn two or three hundred dollars a day.

I was wandering between several interviews. I was relatively new at that time and didn't understand the salary situation in the industry. Hearing such figures, I made a silly circle of friends and felt that the city routine was deep and I wanted to come back and start dripping. But unexpectedly, he also said that basically running outside for a day, eating is not fixed, just buy some food and mineral water in the car, because you will run after receiving the order, so there is no time left for eating.

Arguably, at his age, there is no need to push himself to death. It is common for the customer service industry itself to work overtime, but it is difficult for him to rest and find something to do. I think how reluctant a person is, he should work harder. After all, people are very realistic. Only money can give them a sense of security and a better material life for themselves and their families. You can have hot meals and hot dishes, but what about drinking mineral water and eating dry bread for a better life?

At that time, I was still an intern in Shanghai, because the company was going to Songjiang District to deliver documents. The taxi met a master, a Shanghainese, who has been in this business for almost twenty years. Speaking of more than 20 years, his hand holding the steering wheel seems to be particularly firm. Gear, throttle and brake are all gadgets at his feet.

He said that he couldn't stand looking at the faces of many people in the company, and he couldn't stand the constraints and control of his time, so he chose an industry that could always drive taxis for free. He added that although I sometimes sing while driving, I worry when there are no customers. Now everyone likes to use Didi, but in urban areas it is basically about 5- 10 minutes, which is not cost-effective. It's no problem to run a long distance like you. Business is not good, so I can only run more time, so you see I just slept in the car, that is, I got off work late yesterday, so I have to send the guests up a little earlier today.

He asked about my hometown, and I said Nantong. It seems that he and I have found another topic. He said that he often runs Nantong and crosses Sutong Bridge. Soon, sometimes guests can earn hundreds of dollars by carpooling.

Later, when I arrived at my destination, he said it was too remote to take a taxi, so he had to wait for me outside the company. I don't know how to refuse. I'm afraid he'll charge me for the meter while I wait. He probably understood my hesitation and gave me his phone number, saying that he would go around the neighborhood first and call him to pick me up when I left. Unexpectedly, when I finished leaving the company, his taxi stopped not far away and he stood outside smoking. On the way back, he kept telling me something about Shanghai. He said that it is not easy for everyone, and understanding is the most important thing. When I got off the bus, he kindly reminded me to take the receipt back to the company for reimbursement. At that time, I hurried back to say thank you and left in a hurry.

Another time in Suzhou, I took a taxi from my friend to high-speed railway station to go back. I met a strange old driver driving an old Santana. At that time, I felt I didn't know what words to use to describe such a car in this era. And his sitting posture is very similar to that when we first learned to drive. We adjusted our seats very straight and forward, and people sat very straight, close to the steering wheel, as if they could see everything on the ground in front.

Curious to ask him, he said that he had been driving a taxi for almost 30 years, and he had already left behind occupational diseases. People sitting in this way will be more comfortable and have to find ways to make money before retirement. It just rained heavily that day, and the wiper blew quickly, and the sound from the car was not very good, but what can I do? Frankly speaking, people and cars are tools to make money. What can support themselves is to make a living.

Just like two days ago, after work, I met an old woman selling her own food at the gate of the food market, called me to buy food, spent two yuan to buy her the last half-convenient bag of vegetables, and told her to go home early while paying. It's getting dark It's a pity that she doesn't seem to understand my Mandarin. I only know a little about her Nantong dialect. She said whether she wanted parsley and onions. I think I can only say no regretfully if I don't need it. Later, after I left, I felt a little regretful. I should eat some. At least a dollar or two is nothing to me, but it may be enough for my grandmother who was still setting up a stall that night.

You see, no one can play the role of savior. Life is not easy for anyone, but they must grit their teeth and move on. Grandma is like this, why should she slack off?

I remember complaining to my friends two days ago that it is difficult to recruit people now. Some enterprises expect to recruit a versatile "talent", but look down on salary and benefits. I often say that your company pays you. I don't know whether to remind our company or our existence value is so much.

I am not antisocial or anti-human, but most of the time, I dare not face many people with the truth, even though most people know the bitterness. Just like many things are split in two, if you want something, you have to pay something. Of course, what kind of position is it? I know that enterprises also have to bear certain risks, and the salary is high, fearing that the level of your work is not worthy of the salary; If the price is too low, you can't keep people. In the end, I can't meet the needs of work setting and find a suitable and economical person. Of course, this idea is very negative.

I know that I will be scared sometimes, and I also know that this negative energy mentality needs to be adjusted. Think further and take a step back. The salary is poor, just support yourself. Life has abused itself thousands of times, and I hope I can still handle it well. As many people say, people are made up of two selves, half sad and half bright. Who is not a psychopath who cries like a dog at night and laughs at things and people during the day?

In fact, I often wonder, in the face of this step-by-step growth, is there any other choice? Would it be better to start over? Perhaps, as those who have been there say, they always think that it would be better to change the environment, but what needs to be changed most is their inner thoughts and the boundaries between acceptance and tolerance. In life, being alive or alive, being strong and persistent are the only choices. Just walk slowly, especially for those of us who have just started and can't say our qualifications and abilities, we still need a little more precipitation.

I just saw a sentence: "In the post-90 s world, post-80 s has fallen into the stereotype, and post-00 s is still elusive;" I have neither time nor money. I have stopped studying, but I can't play well. Just make fun of yourself every day. "That really can only laugh at yourself. After all, half of me is a humorous soul.

In this way, you really need to thank yourself. Without this experience, I wouldn't know so much. Without this experience, would I have the heart to knock down so many touching words today?

I used to think that I was in the money eye and always thought about how much it would cost, but it was also true. The first is to support yourself, the second is to support your dreams, and the third is to support your desire. Don't mention the rest. But fortunately, it didn't interfere with my life. In my spare time, I will also choose some good-looking movies to watch under the bed, I will also go shopping with my friends, and I will also choose to buy some vegetables and cook something delicious on my rest day. Probably my life is very simple, and it is easy to be satisfied without mentioning money.

Life is not easy for anyone. Life in first-tier cities can be regarded as an experience. The subway in the morning and evening rush hours, the distressing rent and take-away fee, and some expenses that you need, have a tight life. We also know that third-tier cities also have the benefits of third-tier cities. Anyway, you can only refuel, and many things should not be valued so much. Calm down, be clear about what you should deal with and bear, and understand the inevitability of carrying forward.

Come on, a new day, a new beginning!
