I'm a rural girl who did clerical work for two years after graduating from college, and even though my family wasn't rich, I didn't think about how to work hard to earn money. I have always felt that I am a girl, as long as the salary is good, can support themselves enough, I do not need to buy a house and car. As long as there is occasionally extra money, you can play some money to parents to do living expenses can be, parents do not have too many requirements for me.
The life after graduation has been so easy to get by, and I think I've had a pretty good life. Until one day called my dad, my dad said, "just finished making rice noodles, ready to sleep and rest, some tired." My dad is a pure handmade rice noodle maker, and every day he has to get up in the middle of the night to make handmade rice noodles.
I said, "It's almost 12 o'clock now, why haven't you finished making the noodles?"
My dad sighed: "Now I do more, I have to get up at two o'clock at night to do it."
I listened to a sour nose, heartache especially painful: "How to do so much, do not take so much business in the future, pay attention to the body."
My father said: "I don't want to do so much, just people in the village people built a house, the family also want to build two-story house, and then work hard for a year can be built."
At that moment I suddenly felt so useless, I actually can't find any reason to refute my dad, because I don't have money. If I had money, I could have arbitrarily said to my dad, "How many thousands of dollars are missing, I'll pay for the rest". But being poor, I simply did not have the strength to say such a thing. The house is the dream of the old generation, to exaggerate a little bit is the ultimate life also want to build up a few layers of small buildings.

Because of my father's words, I began to realize that money is really too important, and began to want to work hard to earn money. I resigned from the clerical work, began to shift to a slightly more technical work, because the salary of the technical is really higher than the clerical work, I began to want to work hard to learn the technology, want to grow, want to process the salary. I never used to fight for any bonuses, but now I try to perform well at work, and work with a lot of positive energy every day to get more quarterly awards.
Colleagues at the company occasionally joked, "You're just a technician, why are you so busy all day?"
I just snorted and laughed: "Maybe I'm not very efficient at work, I'm slower at doing things, and I'll get better later."
In addition to my daily work, I also read some professional documents to learn more, and follow the engineers when I have time. I know I'm weak in this area, but I still want to learn. I know I'll never be a technical god, but what if I can still be an immortal?
In addition to working hard at my job, I paid special attention to learning how to manage my money. After graduating from college and working, with a discretionary salary, I buy things began to spend a lot of money, but since I know that my father is still struggling to earn money at such an old age, I began to learn how to manage money. I try not to buy unnecessary things, and buy good quality things, even if they are more expensive, but they will be worth the money. Every time you pay wages, you plan well how to use the money, set aside a part of the living expenses, part of the purchase of some P2P products, small change of money deposited into the balance treasure. The interest you get every month is not a lot, but it's always higher than putting it in the bank, and the most important thing is that I learn how to better dispose of my property.
I started on the road of writing, developing my own hobby, doing self media, in addition to hobby, mainly want to make some money. I have countless times I want to give up, because there is not much readership, attention to the people is also very little, sometimes feel that I can never red, of course, now there is no red. But every time I think of my dad still working so hard, what reason do I have to give up, and there are so many readers who love me, these two reasons have been supporting me to keep writing until now. Although I don't make a lot of money now, I have become more disciplined and learned a lot, and I always think that as long as I write well enough, there will be someone willing to pay for my articles one day.

Recently, a friend learned that I write articles online, and she asked me, "What are you trying so hard to write for?"
I said, "I want to be red, I want to publish a book, I want to earn money."
I asked her again, "What about you?"
She said, "I didn't think too much about it, I just wrote about it, I don't care what I read."
I said, "Okay."
I know that her answer to me at that time, must be to think that I am too vulgar, how can writing and money linked to it, writing is high, money is vulgar. I admit that I am secular, I love writing, like words, but I also want to red, also hope that one day others will be happy to pay for my knowledge.
Sometimes think about it really feel good secular, find some authors know chat, in addition to chat recently read some books, how to write a good article, or talk about how to make money with the article, how to receive advertising, how to write copywriting. It turns out that not only is this way, most authors will be like this, I have always had to money is a good thing, writing articles is not how noble things, why work can receive a salary, change to writing to earn money on the secular it? The author is also an ordinary person, but also need to eat and wear clothes, life, the words are good, "people are iron, food is steel, a meal does not eat hungry panic", so I can earn money through writing, I do not think it is a shame thing.

A few days ago, the family moved into a new home, the building of the house did not put out much power, want to move in more power. I said to my dad, "I'm going to install an air conditioner for you, so you can enjoy enjoy blowing air conditioning to sleep too."
My dad said, "No need, rural people install what air conditioning, blowing with a fan can be, air conditioning power consumption, to pay a lot of electricity bills. If you have money, keep it for yourself and don't waste it."
Of course, I will not listen to my father, a little money to start can be capricious, directly in the official flagship store orders, not only bought the air conditioning, but also bought a water heater and washing machine. After the arrival of the appliances, my father also said to me one after another: "This can still be returned? Return it, it's a waste of money." I said, "I can't. I said, "I can't return it."
On the day of the move, relatives came, and my father went from one relative to another and said: "This air conditioner my daughter to buy, a few thousand dollars ah, the summer can be cool, and in the winter you can also blow the heating. I said I don't need to buy it, she still bought it, but it's a waste of money."
When I saw my dad's face full of pride, I suddenly felt that all the previous efforts were worthwhile. I know a lot of people may never realize what it is to have an air conditioner, but for a lot of poor rural people, maybe that's something that can't be touched in a lifetime. Money is really too important, thanks to the one who once worked hard to earn their own.
Last night I called home, in addition to talking to my mom about the National Day to go home and so on, but also secretly asked my mom, "Dad is not afraid of wasting electricity, do not want to open the air conditioning."
My mom said, "Your dad can be proud, said open air-conditioning to sleep is really more comfortable than the fan, and at night do not need to use firewood to boil water to take a shower, with the water heater is very convenient."
I listened to my mom's words feel particularly gratified! Right, if you don't work hard, in the future, when your parents are old, they don't even have the capital to brag about their own children's bullishness when they are dancing in the square dance.

If there is no money, when you want to go home to see mom and dad on National Day, you find that you can not afford to pay the toll.
If there is no money, when your girlfriend asked to buy a house and a car, you find yourself really can not help.
If there is no money, when you want to persuade your parents not to work too hard, you find that you can not afford to support your parents.
If there is no money, when you fall out of love, you find that others are going to Yunnan Dali what healing, and you can only buy two bottles of pure life drink a drunk.
If there is no money, when you see the beautiful dress in the window, you find yourself still can not afford.
So money is a really good thing, so when did you start wanting to work hard to earn it?
