Thank your enemies

Talking to a writer friend, I asked what motivates him to keep writing? He recalled his youth and told me what had happened to him.

He studied liberal arts in high school, I do not know what reason offended the Chinese teacher, the teacher always pointed the finger at him intentionally or unintentionally, saying that he would never become a climate in any case, in short, he is not a piece of writing material. He studied with the teacher for two years in a very depressing situation, because there was only one liberal arts class, unable to transfer classes, and academic theory was not good, and he had to bend himself. During this period, he kept practicing writing, but he did not publish any works at all for several years in high school.

At that time, the school was unified to recommend students' works to local or foreign newspapers and magazines, and it was his Chinese teacher who was responsible for this matter, he doubted that she had recommended his articles at all, because the students who were not as good as him always published their works continuously, and his works were always ignored, which gave him a blow you can imagine.

After he was admitted to university, he majored in Chinese, and still continued to write. Because his vision became broader, his writing level was greatly improved, and his articles were constantly published in local and foreign newspapers. He took out some of his high school work to vote, and some of it was soon published, which confirmed his suspicions at the time that he was full of hatred for his Chinese teacher.

So, the impetus for writing at that time came from a kind of childish hatred of youth. He said that the person he should thank most now is his Chinese teacher, if not for her stimulation, there is absolutely one writer in the world. So in the Spring Festival, he took his portfolio to visit the Chinese teacher, the teacher was full of guilt for him, repeatedly said "sorry", and the "hatred" in his heart disappeared without a trace at that moment.

Remember Mo millet in an article also recorded such a story, "a pair of friends who had engaged in the same academic research became enemies, although people are far away, but they are watching each other's trends." One said, work again busy, other people's articles I cannot read, his article must find to see; Another said that I studied and wrote articles tirelessly just to show him. They still exist as each other." She said: "Once the enmity seems to be thousands of miles apart, in fact, all the time do not gnash their teeth, hold on to their grudges, and the heart will not be given to the lover's time than the enemy's time more." The difference is that you are drunk for your lover and angry for your enemy."

Sometimes a person's success is likely to be their own "enemy" to fulfill their own, is your "enemy" gave you the reason to be angry and enterprising, is "enemy" let you learn to be strong in adversity, is "enemy" let you learn to smile with tears... When we thank all the people who have helped us, don't forget to thank your "enemies".
