Chapter 432 Men are afraid of choosing the wrong career
I began to analyze Mr. Tan's fate and gave him the following three principles:
"First of all, I'm different from other fortune tellers and won't tell you about your fortune.
I will just talk about a few key points in your life. Secondly, I will focus on analyzing your personality. Thirdly, I will give you some advice.
He nodded.
I started talking about the three major milestones in his life.
First, he was born in a well-off family.
Second, I didn’t get into university.
Third, he married a very independent wife.
He felt that my calculation was strange because the fluctuations in the values of these sentences were not large.
The second sentence in particular confused him, so he asked, "How do you know I didn't get into college?"
"You were born in 1968, making you 53 years old this year. Judging from your horoscope, you come from a well-off family. Judging from your face, when you were seventeen or eighteen, you were definitely a handsome man, a very talented person."
"What does this have to do with whether or not you can get into college?"
"Of course, there's another important reason. Your romantic luck ran out too early. He comes from a good family and is handsome. Girls like him.
If I have to be absolutely clear, there is a very beautiful girl who is still secretly in contact with you."
He said, "That's true. It's just pure friendship."
I didn't continue his conversation, but said, "There is no noble person to help you in your life."
He smiled bitterly.
I said, "It has to do with your personality. You have very high standards. Others look down on you in their hearts, but you look down on them both in your heart and on your face. That's why you had three chances in life, and you squandered them all."
His face was a little unnatural as he asked, "Which three chances?"
I counted on my fingers: one time was around the age of twenty-seven, one time was around the age of thirty-six, and one time was around the age of forty-four. Think about it and review it silently in your mind.
His eyes rolled upward, frozen in time. Perhaps he was lost in thought. He gave me an awkward smile and asked, "Can I smoke? I'm a heavy smoker."
I glanced at Mr. Dong, and he said, "Go ahead."
Mr. Dong doesn't smoke, so I joined Lao Tan in smoking.
I took a puff and asked, "Tell me the truth, am I right?"
He chuckled twice and said, "I don't believe in these things at first. But you really got it right."
I said, "I've only touched upon your personality above, but that's just a little bit. I'll explain it to you in detail below.
You look down on others, not because you have a bad heart, but because you have a special talent in some area. This talent is very outstanding.
You are a small fish in a big pond, and no one in the local area can compare to you. So you are very arrogant.
You are not the only one who has this kind of personality. Anyone who has a skill has this kind of personality.
It's just that you exaggerate your strengths too much, and this kind of personality trait becomes very prominent.
The following is logical reasoning: if you look down on your boss, he will suppress you. This will continue with your next boss.
So you gave up on any promotion and focused on developing your strengths. When you were around 40, because your hour pillar and day pillar were too strong, no one could stop you, and you were promoted to deputy in the unit.
This opportunity wasn't something you fought for; it was destined for you. So, you worked hard, trying to advance. But it conflicted with your main job, preventing you from reaching the next level.
He just laughed.
I said, "It's up to you whether to count the money or not."
He burst out laughing: "What about me in the future?"
"I didn't want to calculate it for you later. According to normal trends, you'll be 53 this year, and there's no chance of turning things around. You'll just have to work until 60 and retire normally. From then on, you'll just enjoy your grandchildren and live out your days in peace."
Having said that, I deliberately stopped talking.
He asked somewhat unwillingly, "Is this the end of my life?"
I said, "I can also change your fate."
Now it was his turn to be surprised.
"Defy fate and change destiny? That's me... have I changed a little bit?"
I said, "Although you haven't reached retirement age, you've already retired. You retired early because you wanted to do what you love and see if you could have a second chance in life."
He finally smiled happily and said, "You are a god. I never admired anyone before, but you are the only one I admire sincerely. Why did you know I retired?"
"Some people become high-ranking officials, and you think they'll rise even higher, but they don't, and end up in jail instead. This is called having their destiny cut off.
Regardless of official rank, you've effectively ended your career at 50. A logical inference is that you're still able to travel at this age, demonstrating your freedom from official duties. Civil servants can retire after 30 years, and you fall into this category.
"Am I here for tourism?"
"Right. I didn't calculate this, I inferred it. You think your Mandarin is standard, but it actually has an accent. I interact with different people every day, so of course I know which province you're from. Secondly, I ran into you once at the gate this morning. You live right here."
"Oh, no wonder you said at the beginning that I came thousands of miles to ask you to tell my fortune."
"Now let me guess your hobbies. Literature and photography."
He gave me a thumbs-up and said, "Photography comes first, literature comes second."
I said, "My advice to you is to change your destiny—focus on photography. Within ten years, you'll be a celebrity."
He said, "If only I had met you earlier, I wouldn't have wasted so much of my life."
I said: "What a person should do and what he should not do determines his success or failure.
Your biggest problem is that you are not suitable to be a civil servant because you don't fit in with that kind of atmosphere.
Art is the best career for you. If you had entered this field earlier, you would have become a celebrity long ago."
"Mr. Wan, I'll add you on WeChat."
After we added each other, his WeChat name, "Seeing the World with Colorful Eyes," immediately sent a message: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Wan. My real name is Tan Shaojie."
I replied: "The mountains are red. Live in Shangzhou forever."
After adding me on WeChat, he talked about his life, saying that his personality had been a hindrance to him. In fact, he had made considerable achievements in photography.
So the three of us started talking, and we got along quite well, and talked for half an hour. He wanted to count the money.
I said, "Tomorrow I will just take a few more pictures of my master and me. The pictures taken by the photographer will definitely be different.
Tan Shaojie nodded repeatedly and left.
I said, "Master, please give me some guidance."
Mr. Dong said: "There was more talk about numerology and less about physiognomy.
He has typical straight eyebrows, with the upper part rising and the tail dropping suddenly. He has artistic talent and is only suitable for art."
I laughed and said, "He's a photographer who chose the wrong career."
The master said, "This person will have great potential in the future. He is a late bloomer."
I stood up and said, "I'll go to the physical therapy room."
Leaving the room, I sighed: Mr. Dong is still one step ahead. The so-called "defying fate" is actually about giving people guidance.
