What I Have Learnt in Previous Year 2021

Whether Westerners or Easterners, they always tend to make an annual summary at the end of the year to summarize the gains and losses, experience and lessons of the year.

Too many things have happened in 2021 which has just passed. In 2021 I felt hope mingled with fear, having a time neither good nor bad. But if I want to list something that I have gained in 2021, it can be said that I have gained a lot, because in this year, I have learned to be patient, to give way to life, to endure hardships and struggle silently.

Firstly, learning to be patient.

Some people and things are hard to change all your life which have been rooted for thousands of years, such as connections. There are too many grievances in the world. You have, almost single-handedly, broken into the social circle of others run for three or four generations. What virtue do you have? How can you not be wronged?

What's the point of getting angry and scolding God for his injustice, except to attract others' laughter? Moreover, when you are worthless, your dignity is worthless, and there will be more bad guys around you. What else can you do beyond becoming patient? And remember, where there is life there is hope.

Secondly, learning to give way to life.

First of all, we must survive. In order to survive, we can never take into account the vanity of face and dignity, and we must abandon those unrealistic fantasies and things that can only be realized in the future, such as ideals. Those beautiful and dazzling things can't solve the current problem of eating, or can't be eaten as rice. One person must give way to life. Only when he has enough food and clothing can he be qualified to talk about things other than life. Otherwise, he will be regarded by others as an alien, a fool and a madman secluded from the world.

Thirdly, learning to endure hardships and struggle silently.

Patience and giving way to life are the first step to do when you are in difficulties, not the final result. The next step is to work hard and change the status quo.

Temporary yielding is designed to rise directly in the future. Only your silent efforts can change the actual world. Assuming and obtrusive, you may suffer destruction, and the best policy is to keep your best stuff under your hat, and work hard silently.

Thanks to what happened this year, I’ve learned a lot and realized the philosophy of life. People always have to go through hardships before they can understand some truth.

Being patient, giving way to life and struggling silently—these are the harvest for me in 2021. Bless 2021 and thank 2021, the year 2021 has brought a brand-new me.

我在2021年里的收获

无论是西方人还是东方人，我们总喜欢在一年结束的时候做一个年度总结，总结一下这一年里的所得和所失、经验和教训，目的是好的继续发扬，锦上添花，坏的加以改正，不致在重蹈覆辙。

2021年刚刚过去，这一年里发生了很多的事情，可以说喜忧参半，过得不好也不坏。可若是真的要说出有什么收获来，可以说收获颇丰，因为这一年里我学会了忍耐，学会了向生活低头，学会了卧薪尝胆、默默奋斗。

一、学会了忍耐

世间有诸多的不平，有些人有些事是你终身都难以改变的，几千年根深蒂固的东西，比如：关系、人情。你单枪匹马、孤身一人闯进了别人三四代人经营起来的圈子，你有何德何能不受点委屈？怒指乾坤错，大骂上天的不公，除了招来别人的看笑，能有什么意义呢？况且，当你一文不值时，你的尊严也毫无价值，而这时你身边的坏人就多了起来。除了忍耐，还能做点什么呢？意气用事，英雄悲壮而去，只会留下英雄泪。难道不知留得青山在不怕没柴烧的道理吗？

二、学会了向生活低头

首先要生存下去，没有了生命、生活，一切皆是枉然。为了生活，就不能顾及脸面、尊严那些虚荣的东西。为了生存，就要抛弃掉那些不切实际的幻想，还有未来才有可能实现的东西，比如理想。那些美丽耀眼的东西不能解决当前吃饭的问题，或者说不能当饭吃。为了生存，人必须向生活低头，服从于生活，解决了温饱才有资格去谈生活以外的东西，否则就是不食人间烟火的另类、傻子、疯子。

三、学会了卧薪尝胆、默默奋斗

忍耐、低头，这是处于困境、艰难时要做的第一步，不是最终的结果。下一步就是卧薪尝胆、默默奋斗，改变现状。

委曲求全，是为了将来的腾空而起、扶摇直上。能够改变现实的，只有靠自己无声的努力。过于外露、张扬，会引起别人的讥讽甚至破坏、攻击，韬光养晦、悄无声息、暗暗使劲才是上策。

2021年，感谢这一年发生的事情，让我学到了许多的东西，悟出了人生哲理。人总要经历过磨难，才会悟透许多道理。

忍耐、低头、奋斗，这就是2021年给我的收获。祝福2021，感激2021， 因为2021年成就了一个全新的自己。
