Origin Story
从前，有个年轻人，名叫阿哲。他家境殷实，衣食无忧。然而，阿哲却是个无所事事的人。每天，他不是躺在床上睡觉，就是坐在椅子上发呆，或者漫无目的地游荡在街头。他从不学习，也不工作，更不关心家里的事情，只顾自己享乐。他的父母多次劝诫他，希望他能有所作为，但阿哲总是不以为然，依然我行我素。一天，阿哲的父母带他去参观一位同龄人的家。这位年轻人虽然家境贫寒，却勤奋努力，靠自己的双手创造了美好的生活。阿哲看到他，内心深受触动。他这才意识到，无所事事不仅让自己虚度光阴，也辜负了父母的期望。从此以后，阿哲开始认真思考自己的人生，并决心改变自己。他报读了夜校，学习技能；他利用业余时间做兼职，增加收入；他积极参与社会公益活动，帮助他人。几年后，阿哲凭借自己的努力，成为了一名优秀的工程师。他不仅拥有了令人羡慕的事业，更收获了自信和快乐。
Once upon a time, there was a young man named Alex. He came from a wealthy family and never had to worry about money. However, Alex was a man who did nothing. Every day, he would either lie in bed, sit in a chair and stare into space, or wander aimlessly in the streets. He never studied, worked, or cared about his family, only caring about his own pleasures. His parents advised him many times, hoping that he would do something meaningful, but Alex never took it to heart and continued to do his own thing. One day, Alex's parents took him to visit a peer. This young man, despite coming from a poor family, was diligent and hard-working, creating a wonderful life for himself through his own efforts. Alex was deeply touched when he saw this. Only then did he realize that doing nothing not only wasted his time but also disappointed his parents. From then on, Alex began to think seriously about his life and was determined to change. He enrolled in night school to learn skills; he worked part-time in his spare time to increase his income; and he actively participated in social welfare activities to help others. After several years, Alex, through his own efforts, became an outstanding engineer. He not only had an enviable career, but he also gained confidence and happiness.
