Ex-wife, Please Come Back -
Chapter 234 The Horrible Incident
"Maybe it's because of my appearance, I don't have much confidence. After all, if a person was really big, the person who indicated that may mean no offense, but the person who heard it would keep it in mind. Of course my case was not that terrible, but I've been thinking for a long time that if I become more beautiful, there might be fewer troubles." Pock said with a smile, as if she was talking about someone else. It was beyond her own expectation that she would express herself in such a pure way. But she knew that if she didn't say it today, there would be no chance for her to reveal all these in the future. "Then one of my colleagues broke up with her boyfriend one day. I was so surprised that I asked her what happened. Then she told me a lot about her. I always thought that her boyfriend must cherish her very much as she is so beautiful, but in fact, he did not." After saying that, Pock lowered her head. It would be great if all the problems could be solved just by pretty faces. If so, those who was not good-looking enough could solve problems with cosmetic surgeries.
"In fact, how one looks cannot decide everything in his or her life. But I didn't understand that before. I just thought that if I were beautiful, I wouldn't have lived like this. I didn't realize that there was something wrong with my mentality until that colleague lost her boyfriend." Pock smiled sincerely. Regardless of her pockmarks, she was in fact quite beautiful. She was well-featured and her skin was good. It's just the specks of pokes that made her look unpleasant.
"Later, I got my own boyfriend as well. Although change of mentality can't really solve problems, at least it's useful when someone lacks sense of security. " Pock smiled brightly.
"Then why don't you bring your boyfriend here today?" Someone suddenly asked.
"He was on a business trip. He was going to ask for a leave and came here with me. But I thought I could come here alone, so I let him do his work." Her sweet words made everyone present speechless.
They felt like that they had missed many good girls in their lives. It was said that boys should replace girlfriends in college, because once they enter the society, they were not likely to replace such good girls in school. Meanwhile, girls should start dating after graduation, because there would be better boys outside of the campus.
This makes sense sometimes.
"Now I realized that our life wouldn't be decided just by any single aspect of our qualities. I was going to extremes to put that much stress on my appearance."
Pock spoke out her thought. Her opinion might not be accepted by all, but her sincere attitude was admirable. In the future, whenever Poke thought about this, she would always feel that she was brave.
"So today I want to remind you not to think too extreme no matter what you meet. Many problems could be solved in a roundabout way. Don't dwell on unnecessary things. If you cannot figure out something, just leave it. Time will figure it out for you."
After finishing her words, Pock bowed to everyone. She looked so serious, as if she had just handed in her paper.
Perhaps this was a test in her life, and now she was finally relieved. In fact, many people were as entangled as Poke in their lives.
However, as long as they could change their way of thinking, the world would be totally different for them After all, happiness was the priority in our life. Life would be boring if we keeps splitting hairs. Problems in life could always be solved. "Speaking of this, I also want to say something to you." Beth, who used to be quiet in the class, also opened her mouth.
Everyone raised their heads to look at her. In their impression, she was not talkative.
"Back to my hometown, I have a playmate who grew up with me together. We have chosen different ways of life. I chose to continue my study, and he entered the workplace. He went insane under too much pressure only two years after I graduated." Beth was expressionless. Now she could treat all these calmly. Besides that, she felt that she had grown to a certain extent. But she couldn't speak it out.
"Sometimes it's necessary for people to stay optimistic. He risked his life to work, for the house and the car. He wanted to realize his dream. Finally, he bought his own house, and became a mortgage slave. Before long, he lost his job and had no money to pay the loans. That's how he was defeated.
Beth frowned. Maybe life of people sitting here wouldn't be destroyed by a house. But for average people, buying a house might be their lifelong goal.
Set up a home and establish a career were two major tasks for all of us. And owning a house, or at least an apartment, was necessary in the traditional view.
"After knowing what happened to him, I thought a lot. Whether the things we desperately pursue is really that important? Girls buy a lot of clothes and shoes to decorate themselves, while men save a lot of money just to buy expensive watches. Is it really as meaningful as we think?
Beth waved her hands in the air. Now she even felt that she had a gift in giving a speech. She had found many of her hidden merits recently.
"Of course, I don't want to start a philosophical discussion today. What I want to say is that we will encounter a lot of difficulties and problems in our lives. I didn't mean that I won't buy a house or work hard from now on. I just want to tell everyone present that just try your ! best in life."
Beth's eyes were determined. She used to believe that speaking in front of a group of people was something quite scary. But today, she felt quite well.
At least, she used to be afraid of being the focus of others. Now she could deal with it calmly. She didn't feel that everyone's eyes were unfriendly, nor did she feel her face flushed and her heart beat fast.
After Beth sat down, the phenomenon became serious. No one stood up for a while. Things mentioned just now were a bit too serious. Beth wouldn't think about that when she was in the college, nor would her classmates present.
Life could not speak, but life would teach everyone how to live. The people in the ivory tower finally found that numerous obstacles and traps were hidden in their lives as independent adults.
Everyone would face and try to overcome these obstacles sooner or later. Pressures always exist for us as human beings. Without pressure, we would lose the purpose of our life and feel boring.
Everyone was lost in positive thought. They were thinking about what Beth had said just now. They were all thinking of the meaning of their work.
Some of their work were meaningful, some were not. The meanings of work are sometimes determined by the individual thought of the people who did it.
"You're discussing something too serious. I'll mention some light-hearted topics." Andrew, who had been operating a tutoring center since he was in the University, stood up with a smile. "Good idea. Your life must be wonderful." Someone shouted, which cheered everyone up.
"In fact, work could be quite interesting. For example, I'm still running my tutorial class. After so many years, I have known a lot of people. I have helped many people to realize their dreams. " Andrew narrowed his eyes and seemed to be smiling.
"Maybe you will think I'm hypocritical to say this, but I do believe that only when we do what we like to do, we will feel happy. I dreamt to study in Central Academy of Arts, but I didn't make it."
He had never mentioned such a dream before. It was hard to imagine that a science geek like him would have such an idea. However, it was not difficult to see from the tutoring class he set up that he might really have such a dream.
"My father said that studying arts was not promising. So I had to give up. After all, we couldn't always follow our heart in our life. I accepted the reality that I won't study art in my school period. However, I'm helping the others to realize their dreams now."
