Why do many people who have survived the trough become silent?
I have a childhood friend who became rich and poor suddenly. He used to be very talkative and could always make girls tremble with laughter.
Now he is so quiet that he can’t do anything. One time I asked him, why haven’t you posted on WeChat Moments for several years? He doesn’t talk much usually.
He said, I used to think that humor is humor, but when people are insignificant, humor becomes funny, and funny people are easily regarded as clowns.
I asked, why do you have no influence?
He said that his family suffered a change when he was in college, which you know. His life, which was originally acceptable, became a mess. He was worried about his livelihood every day before graduation, and always wanted to change the fate of his family. Life treated me well. I started a company in the second year after graduation and made a small profit, but I was not worthy of the position, and then I lost money.
I said, what does this have to do with your silence?
He said that when I was in high spirits, I loved to talk about project experience and write something. Every time someone praised me, saying that I spoke well and had a promising future. A year later, something went wrong with my business, the company closed down, and my girlfriend broke up with me. Fortunately, I was fine. When I talked about my experience again, no one listened. But this is something I think is truly valuable. The less people listen, the more I want to talk about it. But who can I talk to?
I had to talk to myself
In the world of fame and fortune, people don’t listen to reason, but to results. In fact, it’s not the results, but the benefits. What you say is not important, but who you are is important. Since what you say is not words, why talk so much? Is it funny?
