When Ken heard the news, he was so excited that he almost knocked over the coffee cup in his hand.So many years of dreams, so many years of pain and loss, finally released on this day.

For so many years, he has no idea how he got here, without the support of dreams, only the responsibility of his family.Although his family made him willing, he knew that he still had too many regrets in his heart.

But reality can always easily defeat him, but he has very little courage. Every time he fails, he begins to doubt himself.This time, he just felt that he really had nothing to worry about.

After losing everything, he had to give up a lot of things, but unexpectedly regained his original dream.

"Chris said that the agent wants you to go immediately, and will sign a contract after the training." Mary happily prepared to help Ken pack his things.This kind of thing must be done immediately, and there must be no slack.

But Ken was silent for a while, he looked up to Mary and said, "What about my job?"

"Of course I resigned! Don't you want to be a singer? That meaningless job is just a waste for you! Ken, you won't be reluctant to do such a job, will you?"

Mary stared at him with wide eyes. She didn't understand why her brother hesitated again at such a happy and critical moment.This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How many people are eager to have this opportunity!Ken can't back down at this time!

"Ken, you are not afraid, are you? Don't worry, we will always be with you."

Mary stepped forward to hug her younger brother. This younger brother has been sensitive and timid since he was a child, but he is a good boy.

"I just don't know if it's the right thing to do, I'm already in my 40s. There are so many talented teenage kids out there, what capital do I have to compete with them?"

Ken is full of contradictions and lack of self-confidence. He has been decadent for too long, and his youthful spirit has disappeared from him for many years. Weeds have grown in his heart long ago. In fact, many people in this world cannot change, that is because Such fear.Time wears them down too much. Time can make a person forget his memories and lose his enthusiasm for dreams.

Success or failure has always been the pursuit of young people. In Ken's heart, making music should be a passionate dream when he was young.In the end, I still have to return to life and become an ordinary person.

In the past, he also thought about being desperate and going crazy once, even if he failed, he would have no regrets, but he found that he did not have such a strong ability to resist pressure, and he could not live a normal life at all.

He tried, but failed.The failure caused him to lose the love of his wife, the trust and dependence of his children on him, and his custody.Everything starts with music and ends with music.

He still remembers how he pursued his beautiful wife back then. At that time, he often played in the place where his wife worked. At that time, he was just a graduate.There is time, passion and dreams.

But the pressure of life made people have to bow their heads. With the birth of the children, they grew up a lot overnight, and Ken compromised at this time.When he saw his daughter's angelic smile and delicate body, he knew that he would give everything for her.So he chose the mediocre and ordinary path.

"Ken, why don't you understand. That producer is very strict, he won't choose someone with no future, according to what you said, if those teenagers have more prospects than you, why should the producer choose You? Instead of choosing those young people in their teens and twenties?"

Mary's words are very convincing, and such reverse reasoning can also prove the value of Ken.In fact, it is true. The artists Bude has signed in the past few years are not very good, and the singers are not very talented. Only one or two are okay. The result is not that he was caught drinking and taking medicine in a bar, ruining his future. , or it is too much psychological pressure and psychological problems.

Bud was devastated and exhausted by these ignorant boys. Now that he was old, many times he didn't want to easily raise a minor who needed to start from breastfeeding.

At this time, Ken's song "Old Days" appeared. He didn't know how to describe this feeling. It seemed that he fell asleep and met a pillow, and he got a fork after eating a steak.

Bude's previous singers were all rock types, which belonged to the favorites of young people, but there are too many such songs on the market now.Famousness is a joke unless you have great music and legitimate musical talent.

This world is so cruel, many people want to rush into this circle, but there are many barriers in this circle.No one can succeed without obstacles.This is actually a vicious circle.People who seem to be successful and famous can't get out, but people who have been unknown before become famous overnight.

Ken didn't know what to do, but Mary made the decision for him.The elder sister immediately helped the younger brother pack up all the things.Then comfort him, and even help him write a resignation letter.

The next day, Ken went to his company and resigned.The boss looked at the middle-aged man in surprise. He was not very familiar with Ken, but he knew that Ken was just a small management clerk.

When they recruited this person at the beginning, they only wanted to have a stable employee. Although the salary was not much, but he was old and had no way to develop elsewhere.

In addition, the company was newly opened here at that time, and it also needed acquaintances to do business.

The boss was already in his 60s. He looked at Ken and asked, "Why did you resign? Are you not satisfied with the salary we gave you? You must know that your salary is already the highest in our company for this position. The colleagues in a position are much less than you."

The boss's words are indeed correct, but because this position has no technical content, most of the people working in this position are girls who have just graduated.They have no family pressure or financial pressure, and the biggest pressure is rent.

Ken smiled wryly in his heart. If it wasn't for his wife at the time, he would not have chosen such a worthless and worthless position.

But for this company, Ken still has a certain amount of gratitude. After all, this company helped him when he needed work the most.Gave him a living salary.

However, Ken doesn't want to tell the boss the truth, because his truth will definitely be ridiculed by them, and there will definitely be many people who don't understand his thoughts and actions. Day dream.It's a bit ridiculous.

Ken watched his boss drinking his coffee, thinking silently the words Mary had taught him.

"I'm divorced, my kids are all grown up, my oldest daughter is going to college next year, she doesn't need me anymore, and my adult kids don't need custody. You know, my previous lawsuit is over, Custody is still given to my ex-wife, I have nothing to worry about now."

What Ken said was what he thought, and it was indeed what he thought in his heart.What he said was true and sincere.

The boss did know about him before, and felt a little sympathetic to him.

The boss said: "If this is the case, then you can work with peace of mind. Men, besides family, have work and pursuits. And there are many colleagues in the company. If you feel lonely and lonely, you can find colleagues. Talking about it, it’s better than resigning and staying at home alone. And it’s not good for your body and mind. Are you a little depressed? I can let you go to the doctor, and please let you take half a month’s paid leave .”

 Ken was still a little moved.Look, this world is actually not that cold and ruthless. There are also many people who care about him, help him, and give him some help when he needs it.

Ken shook his head and said, "Actually, I didn't resign after being hit too hard by this matter, but my sister Mary. She is also alone, and she needs me very much now."

The boss said unexpectedly: "So you still have a sister?"

"She is also getting older, and I can just live with her and live together, which is good for both of us. And I have been in Texas for so many years and rarely go home. I miss my hometown very much now, so I hope To be able to go back and live with my sister."

Only then did the boss understand what he was doing. After all, the bond between relatives is very important. It is only natural for a person to want to go to his sister after losing the custody of his children just now.

The boss patted him on the shoulder and said: "Live hard and don't give up hope. Men always have to be a little aggressive. You don't have the pressure and burden of your family now, so you should be relieved. I have read your resume, and you are not A worthless man, all he lacks is opportunity and courage."

The boss also told him his own story.Back then, after he divorced twice, his property lost more than half, and he had to pay child support.The previous company also went bankrupt, which made him a little desperate, and even thought of suicide for a while.At that time, he was about to reach middle age, and he felt that life was gloomy and there was no way out. His life had failed, and he even wanted to give up completely on a winter day.

But when he was standing on the tall building, he thought of his children, they are so innocent, and they still need monthly support to maintain their lives.

Since he has a child of his own, he must be responsible to the end.Later, he decided to grit his teeth and persist for a while. He gave himself two years, and if his life continued to get worse and worse in the past two years, then he would decide on his future life.

He traveled to many places and found many opportunities. Finally, on his 40th birthday, he received a big order and paid off the debt.His life began anew.
