The starting point of life is very important. It often determines the occupation that a person has been engaged in for a lifetime. However, it is not the starting point that determines a person to be born, but the turning point in which you later choose to adjust your life.
Many times, the starting point is not your choice, it is your parents, and life is your choice. At this time, your strength has not yet formed, your strengths have not yet been revealed, and the occupations you are engaged in are not of interest to you.
For example, if you take a college exam, whether it is a school or a major, it is determined by your score rather than your hobbies. Even many people do not like science and learn science, do not like liberal arts and learn Chinese. When they graduate, they naturally go to industries that they simply do not like.
It is possible for a person to do things that he does not like, or who are not good at it. It is possible to have a meal, but it is impossible to achieve high achievement. Because, in that field, there are many people with special skills and interests who have long been in front of you, and they easily leave you behind.
At this time, the turning point in life has appeared. If you have lofty ambitions, if you want to make a difference, you must make the choice of this turning point, re-select your career, change your life direction, and go to the field of your own interest. If you suffer from loss, you can't bravely give up your immediate interests, and you will do nothing.
There are countless examples in the world. Mr. Lu Xun is a doctor. If he does not have a turning point in his life, he will come to the field of literature he is good at. China must have a normal doctor but lose a great writer.
Mr. Qi Baishi, the master of flower and bird Chinese painting, was originally an ordinary carpenter. His parents wanted him to learn from the carpenter. He was hoping that he would be an excellent carpenter who could support his family. However, Qi Baishi, who had great ambitions, made dozens of things. After the carpenter of the year, he went to the exploration of Chinese painting and bird art, and eventually became a master of Chinese painting.
The master of literature, Mr. Shen Congwen, was the first to join the army. He also fought for many years in the jungle camp in Xiangxi. But later, he discovered his interest and decided to go to Beijing alone to pursue his literary dream and eventually become A generation of literary masters.
Once you find that you have nowhere to go, you must make a choice and adjust your life direction before you can reach the distance.
人生的起点很重要，它往往决定一个人一生从事的职业;但是，决定一个人一生成就的，却不是这个起点，而是后来你为了调整人生走向选择的转折点。
很多时候，起点不是自己的选择，是父母，是生活为你选择的。这个时候，你的优势还没有形成，你的长处还没有显露出来，从事的职业也不是你感兴趣的。
比如，你考了大学，无论学校还是专业，是根据你的分数而不是根据你的爱好决定的。甚至很多人，根本不喜欢理科而学了理工，根本不喜欢文科而学了中文，毕业就业的时候，也就自然而然去了自己根本不喜欢的行业。
一个人做自己不喜欢，或者不擅长的事情，混个饭吃或许可能，但是要获得很高的成就，则是不可能的。因为，在那个领域里，有很多拥有特长和兴趣的人早就走在你的前面了，他们轻易地就把你甩在了后面。
这个时候，人生的转折就出现了。如果你有远大的抱负，如果你要有建树，你必须进行这种转折的抉择，重新选择自己职业，改变自己的人生走向，到自己喜欢，到自己感兴趣的领域里来。如果患得患失，不能勇敢决绝地放弃眼前的利益，你必将一无所成。
世界上这样的例子不可胜数。鲁迅先生是学医的，如果他不是有了人生的转折，到自己擅长的文学领域里来，中国必定多了一个平常的医生，却失去了一位伟大的文学家。
花鸟国画大师齐白石先生本来是一个普通的木匠，他的父母要他跟木匠拜师学艺，本来是希望他做一个出色的能够养家糊口的木匠的，但是，有着远大抱负的齐白石，做了几十年木匠之后，转到国画花鸟艺术的探索当中，最终成为一代国画巨匠。
文学巨匠沈从文先生，最早是入伍从军的，在湘西的丛林营盘里也摸爬滚打了很多年，但是后来，他发现了自己的兴趣所在，毅然只身一人去北京追求自己的文学梦想，最终成为一代文学大师。
一旦发现前路不通，就必须作出选择，调整自己的人生走向，你才有可能到达远方。
