5.UFOsandArea51Area51has在我的印象里，他一直努力而自知，每天從食堂吃飯后，他總是習慣性地回到辦公室看厚厚的專業書不斷提升和充實自己，他的身上有九零后少見的沉穩。同事們恭喜他，大多看到了他的前程似錦，卻很少有人懂得他曾經付出過什么。就像說的：“如果這世上真有奇跡，那只是努力的另一個名字，生命中最難的階段，不是沒有人懂你，而是你不懂自已。”而他的奇跡，是努力給了挑選的機會。伊索寓言中，饑餓的狐貍想找一些可口的食物，但只找到了一個酸檸檬，它說，這只檸檬是甜的，正是我想吃的。這種只能得到檸檬，就說檸檬是甜的自我安慰現象被稱為：“甜檸檬效應”。一如很多人不甘平庸，卻又大多安于現狀，大多原因是不知該如何改變。看時，每個人都能從角色中看到自已。高冷孤獨的安迪，獨立糾結的樊勝美，樂觀自強的邱瑩瑩，文靜內斂的關睢爾，古怪精靈的曲筱綃。她們努力地在城市里打拼，擁有幸或不幸。但她依然保持學習的習慣，這樣無論什么事她都有最準確的判斷和認知；樊勝美雖然虛榮自私，但她努力做一個好HR，換了新工作后也是拼命爭取業績；小蚯蚓雖沒有高學歷，卻為了多賣幾包咖啡絞盡腦汁；關睢爾每一次出鏡幾乎都是在房間里戴著耳機聽課，處理文件；就連那個嬉皮的曲筱瀟也會在新年之際為了一單生意飛到境外……其實她們有很多路可以走：嫁人，啃老，安于現狀。但每個人都像個負重的蝸牛一樣緩緩前行，為了心中那丁點兒理想拼命努力。今天的努力或許不能決定明天的未來，但至少可以為明天積累，否則哪來那么多的厚積薄發和大器晚成？身邊經常有人抱怨生活不幸福，上司太刁，同事太蠻，公司格局又不大，但卻不想改變。還說：“改變干嘛？這個年齡了誰還能再看書考試，混一天是一天吧。”一個“混”字就解釋了他的生活態度。前幾天我聯系一位朋友，質問為什么好久不聯系我？她說自已每天累的像一條狗，我問她為什么那么拼？她笑：“如果不努力我就活得像一條狗了。”恩，新換的上司，海歸，雖然她有了磨合幾任領導的經驗，但這個給她帶來了壓力。她的英語不好，有時批閱文件全是大段大段的英文，她心里很慪火，埋怨好好的中國人，出了幾天國門弄得自己像個洋鬼子似的。上司也不舒服，流露出了嫌棄她的意思，甚至在一次交待完工作后建議她是否要調一個合適的部門？她的臉紅到了脖子，想著自己怎么也算是老員工，由她羞辱？兩個人很不愉快。但她有一股子倔勁，不服輸，將近40歲的人了，開始拿出發狠的學習態度，報了個英語培訓班。回家后捧著英文書死啃，每天要求上中學的女兒和自己英語對話，連看電影也是英文版的。功夫不負有心人，當聽力漸漸能跟得上上司的語速，并流利回復，又拿出漂亮的英文版方案，新上司看她的眼光也從挑剔變柔和，某天悄悄放了幾本英文書在她桌上，心里突然發現上司并沒那么討厭。心態好了，她才發現新上司的優秀，自從她來了后，部門業績翻了又翻，獎金也拿到手軟，自己也
