People with dreams deserve respect. There is also a girl with a dream in Gansu Province, China. She is Song Lele. She was particularly interested in carpentry since she was a child, but no one around her understood her. There is a simple reason. Woodworking in rural areas is considered as a dead-end job.
However, although people have different levels, there is no distinction between high and low dreams. Just two years ago, after graduating from Song Lele University, despite the fierce opposition of his family, he resolutely resigned as a carpenter and even opened a wood workshop in Lanzhou. What's her current situation? What's the story in it?
First, post-90s college students
Song Lele was born in a remote village in Gansu. Her mother is a rural woman, farming, and her father is a village carpenter. Perhaps because of this, Song Lele has a gift for carpentry since he was a child.
Being poor since childhood made her very sensible. She often helps her parents with housework and lightens their burden. She especially likes to help her father with carpentry. It was this experience that trained Song Lele's wood craft.
When Song Lele was very young, she was also very smart in her studies. She could immediately respond to many questions that were difficult for her peers to understand. After Song Lele's teacher discovered her cleverness in learning, she went to her home and visited her parents, suggesting that they must cultivate Song Lele well.
Of course, Song Lele's parents are also very happy and try their best to cultivate her. Although family expenses are not rich, they are willing to spend money as long as it is related to Song Lele's study, because they hope their daughter can be admitted to college and find a stable job in the future. Of course, Song Lele didn't live up to his parents' expectations and was admitted to the university successfully.
Song Lele University chose kindergarten teachers as its major. Although the salary is not much, the victory lies in stability. After graduating from college, Song Lele followed her parents' advice and went to work in a local kindergarten. After working for several years, Song Lele felt very empty. She is confused about her future. She knows that this kind of life is not what she wants, and she doesn't like this job. After thinking for a long time, she quit her job and made up her mind to pursue her childhood dream and become a carpenter.
Second, the creation of wood art manual studio
When Song Lele told his parents about the idea of opening a wood workshop in Lanzhou, their parents strongly opposed it. They thought, how could Song Lele be a carpenter? Besides, in this way, the whole family saved money for her to study for so many years, didn't they all read for nothing? However, Song Lele has a firm attitude towards carpentry. She thinks that being a carpenter is like giving life to wood. In her opinion, it is a very interesting job.
After his parents actively communicated with their parents, seeing that her attitude was firm, they agreed to let her work for a few years first. If the effect was not good, she would honestly go back to work. With the consent of his parents, Song Lele set up his own woodworking manual studio wholeheartedly. In order to run this studio well, she went to Chongqing and Shanghai to learn the woodworking technology there and understand the latest woodworking market. After some preparation, Song Lele's wood handicraft studio finally opened in Lanzhou.
After the opening, although wood art is a handicraft, its type is too partial, and it is not easy to get started quickly. So at first, the business of Song Lele Studio was relatively deserted, and few people came every day. And in order to save money at first, she lived in the suburbs far from the city. It's hard to get up early every day and come home late at night.
However, Song Lele persisted, because it was her real favorite job. No matter how tired she is, she always feels full and happy. Whenever she encounters a problem, a gentle and tenacious force will rise in her heart, making her persist in bravely going on and not giving up. This inner power is called a dream.
Third, the current situation of wood art manual studio
This persisted for a period of time. Although the daily traffic was still small, Song Lele warmly received every customer who entered the store. Slowly, the wood art manual studio began to become famous in the local area.
Many people do carpentry because of the boredom of real life and the mentality of coming here to kill time. Unexpectedly, I also earned happiness and a sense of accomplishment. The feeling of peace in my heart can't be obtained by playing mobile games or sitting next to the computer.
In this way, the studio began to fire. Up to now, the average monthly net income can reach four or five thousand yuan, and sometimes it can even reach eight or nine thousand yuan. Song Lele's income in this wood art studio has exceeded that of being a teacher in kindergarten at that time. She can not only support herself, but also buy some presents for her parents to show filial piety. After seeing this situation, her parents accepted her decision instead of supporting it at first.
More importantly, Song Lele also felt satisfied here and felt unprecedented happiness. Looking at every customer who comes here to do carpentry, they are either couples who want to make rings or parents who want to make a toy with their children, watching them start from the initial piece of wood, cut, polish and color, and finally form a handicraft. People not only devote themselves wholeheartedly here, but also get a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. It seems that wood is alive here.
abstract
There is no doubt that the road to realizing dreams is tortuous and long. When many people choose their own path, people around them don't understand and support him, and even strongly oppose him. But so what? The road to success is doomed to be lonely and full of thorns. As long as you stick to it, you will find that the rainbow after the storm is so beautiful.
There may be many people who think it's a pity that Song Lele chose to go back to open a studio as a carpenter after graduating from college. But we must admit that everyone has his own suitable position, and the ultimate goal of education is to cultivate a person's independent judgment and thinking ability.
Only when we have an accurate positioning of ourselves can we create infinite possibilities. So when another "Song Lele" appears, let's stop questioning her and applaud her heartily!
