in the 1950s, on a farm in the United States.

A farmer put an iron ring on an elm tree in the manor to tie his cattle.

as the elm grows up, the iron ring is slowly embedded into the tree, leaving a deep scar on the epidermis of the elm.

one year, a strange plant fungal disease occurred in the area. All the elm trees in a radius of dozens of kilometers died, but the elm tree with an iron ring survived.

Why did this elm survive?

botanists became interested in this, so they organized people to study it.

it turns out that it was the iron ring that scarred the elm tree that saved it.

Elm trees absorb a large amount of iron from the rusty iron ring and develop a special immunity to fungi.

the tree is still alive on the farm near Biola County, Michigan, USA.

in fact, each of us will suffer all kinds of injuries in our lives, just like this tree.

but these injuries will, at some point, become a kind of nourishment, making life more resolute, strong, full of vitality and hope.

just as Mr. Yang Jiang said:

everyone will have a very difficult time, the pressure of life, the frustration of work, the pressure of study, and the fear of love.

if you get through it, life will suddenly open up; if you can't make it, time will teach you how to shake hands and make peace with them, so don't be afraid.

keep an optimistic heart, even if life is like a reverse journey, it takes a Reed to sail.

you should always believe that what can't beat you will eventually make you stronger.

tell me about my own experience.

I majored in Chinese in university, and my writing skills have been pretty good all the time. So after graduation, I successfully entered a newspaper for internship.

the editor-in-chief who took me at that time was the harshest one in the whole newspaper.

how severe is she to her subordinates?

to say the simplest, if there is a wrong word in your manuscript, you will be scolded in the face.

since I was an intern, I have survived countless night shifts and changed manuscripts countless times. At most, a manuscript was changed 30 times before the editor-in-chief passed it.

in the brightly lit big city of Shanghai, for many years, I have only been accompanied by a computer and a lamp.

many people have advised me to change my trainee teacher, there is no need to do so.

however, only I know that it is because of her strict requirements that my writing has improved by leaps and bounds and become the best of all interns.

at the end of the internship, I was the only one left behind.

that I unwittingly knew that the quota for becoming a regular worker at that time was recommended by the chief editor.

my painful "torture" by the editor benefited me a lot from my writing career for the rest of my life.

later, after the rise of the media platform, I resigned and started my own writing business.

every time a reader leaves a message in the background, praising my article for being piercing and practical, I am silently grateful to the editor who has "tortured" me for several years.

I often hear people say, "whoever makes you suffer, he will ferry you."

I especially like what the writer Cao Youfang once said:

"the so-called growth is to accept anything that happens in life, even if it is unfortunate or bad, to face it, solve it, and minimize the damage."

those who cheat and betray you will show you the darkness of human nature, but it will invisibly enlarge your pattern.

those who despise you can not only hurt your self-esteem, but also stimulate your fighting spirit.

those who ostensibly target you may just exercise your ability to deal with problems in another way.

the person who makes you suffer is not necessarily the one who hurts you, and the one who hurts you doesn't necessarily make you worse.

No matter what kind of fate, their mission is to ferry you.

have seen such a short film:

A Hua, a rural girl, has been ridiculed and bullied by her peers because she is fat.

she also feels inferior because of this, but she can't change it all the time.

her mother-in-law could not bear to see her despair, so she said to her, "there is a dry well in the mountain. It is said that whoever fills the dry well with water, the Jade Emperor will appear and help her realize a wish."

after listening to her mother-in-law, Ah Hua picked up the bucket and went to irrigate it.

in the process of carrying water, she encountered numerous troubles. She was teased, fell, and even scratched her hands and bled.

she was so miserable that she once wanted to give up, but seeing the bloated reflection in the bucket, she chose to gnash her teeth and continue.

day after day, non-stop. Until one day, the dry well was filled with water.

she shouted expectantly to the sky, "where are you, Jade Emperor?"

but the sky did not respond, only a few white clouds were floating.

A Hua bowed her head sadly, but at the moment, she saw the beautiful face and slim figure reflected by the well water.

Harvard high achiever Zhan Qingyun said: "what makes the Tang monk a Tang monk is not the classics, but the way to learn them."

everyone goes through painful times, but once you get through it and look back, you will find that it was those days that made you who you are today.

in Huang Bo's early years, life was very rough.

the record company refused to package him because of his poor appearance. In order to support himself, he sang in the karaoke hall for seven years and worked as a dance teacher for eight years.

in difficult times, singing in the bar was made difficult by the guests, and the walk-on was humiliated by the director.

after several blows, he gave up and went back to his hometown to open a factory to do business.

as a result of a financial crisis, he lost his money overnight and was heavily in debt.

although his fate was ill-fated, these difficult experiences did not knock him down.

dormant for 16 years, Huang Bo finally became popular all over the country with one film after another and became the amazing "7.6 billion Movie King".

and the foundation of singing and dancing that he practiced in the most difficult days has now become his stunt.

others act cute and show their faces and eat the rice of youth in fear, but he has become a powerful faction in this circle: he is good at singing and dancing, talented, acting, hosting, and versatile development.

pain is the beginning of awakening and the only way to grow up.

but if you are afraid of hardship and dislike trouble, so as to avoid it, when it is inevitable, these difficulties will become the biggest stumbling block in your life.

as the saying goes, "how can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms without going through a bitter cold?"

simple and happy things can make you happy for a while, but things that are painful and difficult to do can really help you.

be hard on yourself and accept the things that make you painful.

those who have suffered and tired will become the brightest stars in the night sky and guide you to become a better person.

▽

in the past, we were all afraid of pain and wanted to avoid it.

but in fact, pain is not necessarily a bad thing.

the person who makes you suffer is sometimes your noble person, and the thing that makes you painful is often the place where you need to be promoted most.

writer Xi Murong said: "setbacks will come, they will pass, tears will flow down, and they will stop. Nothing can discourage me, because I have a long life."

she told us with experience: life is a marathon, cross the past, and then look back, the suffering will be your gift.
