2019, have you given up?
The keynote of this year is cold. The economic change casts a shadow on people’s hearts. We are engulfed by the menacing situation and encounter countless difficult moments. We have closed down, been trapped, cut wages, lost our job … this year Not beautiful, but as the saying goes, “What is more precious than gold is people’s faith.”
In the past year, when someone returned to the workplace, nearly a thousand resumes were overwhelming, and they chose to continue to start a business. Some courier brothers suffered great joys and sorrows on the same day, but still did not leave their jobs. Some people were under middle-aged pressure. Below, I still sprint forward without a second thought; there are still people who choose to chase their dreams with “leftover” time after being misdiagnosed as cancer.
Whether it is a passionate entrepreneur or an ordinary worker in an ordinary post, whether it is a young boy or a long-standing old river, they are either for the family, or for the ideal, or justWith a single breath in my heart, I was under tremendous pressure and kept walking.
Here are 16 people and their persistence, which may give you some encouragement this winter.
A quick look at the points
• At the worst time, I submitted nearly 1,000 resumes, and only two companies interviewed.
• Persisting every day, reading and regular and quality life give me the power to start again;
• When my wife gave birth to a child, I was unable to rush back to deliver the package, and that day, my grandmother died;
• Before intermediary, I locked myself in the house for half a month and did n’t go out, because I looked down at this part of the group before, but in the end it was okay;
• I was misdiagnosed as blood cancer. The doctor said that I had only half a year to live. At that time, I felt that there was nothing more terrible. After going through life and death, I decided to start a business;
• The process of running in with my partners is a bit like opening a kindergarten. I have to coax my children to start a business every day;
• Pick up and drop off employees to and from work in person, now they can only retain employees in this way;

Why persist in Part 1
I submitted 1,000 resumes, I only received two interview notices
Xu Ning, 35-year-old co-founder of MCN Institution
The most disastrous thing in 2019 is that after a failed business, there are no results in finding a job for a long time. Suddenly realized that beyond the 35-year-old line, people have reached middle age and are hopeless. I used to think that my business was a failure and I did n’t want to go to work. Then I found that I was desperate at work. No one will use you again.
At the worst time, I submitted nearly 1,000 resumes, and only two companies interviewed. In the past, I was particularly happy after receiving the offer. Now it is the other party that makes you happy for several days. This psychological blow is deadly.
35 is a watershed. If you haven’t established your direction or your business has failed at this time, in fact, your heart is really suffering. On the other hand, you have to take more responsibility, there are old and small. Over 35 years of age are still looking for work, companies are not willing to ask you. They will think that you are older, you ca n’t keep up with the energy of young people, you do n’t have the spirit of hard work of young people, and you do n’t have the speed to accept new things. Moreover, he did not obey the command.
So I started my business again. Looking back now, Seon lost his horse, knowing that he is not a blessing. The door to work is blocked, and you can only start a business. Business can only succeed. You have no way back. You can’t deny yourself because of one or two failures, dim your own world, and chill the hearts of your family. When I was in the hardest times, my greatest reliance was on them. They are the firmest, most regretless, and most selfless supporters and havens on the road to life.
2020 is the “bottom year” of one’s own life. Pressure and hope coexist. Facing an uncertain future, it may be better or worse, but for better or worse, it is important to you. No matter how bad the economic environment, there are also high-speed development companies, no matter how good the years are, there are also closed companies. I hope to exercise well in 2020, adjust my mindset, take care of my family, practice internal skills in my career, and then set off.
My regret is that my wife was delivering courier when my child was born. Grandma died the same day
Beyond the age of 32, courier, ride-hailing driver
I have been a courier in Beijing for more than ten years. The courier industry is too hard. It is always busy to return home early in the year. It is especially busy during the double 11 and double 12 holidays. There are often complaints from customers who are not satisfied.
Unfortunately, when my wife gave birth to a child, I was unable to rush back to deliver the courier, and that day, my grandmother died, and I nearly collapsed. Even if I went back by plane, it was too late, not to mention our courier had a pit and a pit, and I couldn’t find anyone for me. I often go out in the morning and the child hasn’t woke up. He went back to sleep at night. I haven’t been able to say hello to my child for more than 2 months.
In recent years, the express delivery industry has started to decline, and profits have become thinner. I watched the driver dressed cleanly and walked around to see the scenery. I thought it was good. I also bought a car. I started driving a car online from the end of last year. In fact, no one is good at it.
I just had that meeting. I do n’t know if the passenger is late. At one o’clock in the middle of the night, the passengers did not come out. They called and said that they would arrive immediately and give you money. As a result, they waited for an hour and a half. Two drunk people came out at three. That list is particularly close, a dozen dollars. They fell asleep when I got off the bus, and when I woke up, I left without giving me any money. There was another time when two unidentified passengers tried to order on the road and had to settle offline, but Didi deducted 50 yuan and sealed the day number.
Our family was very poor since we were young. When I was in junior high school, the living expenses of other people were 20-30 yuan a week, my dad gave me 5 yuan, sometimes I could n’t get it. After graduating from junior high school, I came out and ran, sold pancakes on a tricycle, sold hot and spicy food, did freight, and later became a courier. But for
