I met a friend some time ago. I graduated from a famous domestic school more than ten years ago. Now I am a primary school geography teacher in our small mountain city. His friends all thought he was overqualified, but he laughed noncommittally. After spending some time together, we found that although he taught geography, his writing and calligraphy skills were very good. When he became interested, he even took out his guitar and sang a song, which was amazing. I said to him with great emotion: at your level, you should never live such a mediocre life. He said with a smile: my life is really ordinary, but it is not ordinary. I was deeply shocked by this sentence. Yes, he has a high level of knowledge and more interest in life. He just did a seemingly ordinary job. It can be said that he has a very ordinary life, but it really can not be said that he is mediocre. Commonness and mediocrity have similar meanings in the dictionary, which can be carefully understood. Commonness makes people calm and calm. Mediocrity is decadent and boring. The two are similar in shape but far away in spirit. two The difference between ordinary and mediocre lies in whether there has been a pursuit. One has worked hard and the other has never started. There must be similar examples around you. They do ordinary work. Like us, they rush to work by bus every day and worry about their family. They may be ugly, but they are kind to others. But suddenly one day, you will hear people talk about their shining moments. They may have high education, may have made achievements in a certain field, and even they still keep the prestigious Medal of honor. Later, they either did not go further by chance, or they chose to return to plain. But these people, they must also be different. At work, they will be proactive, loyal to their duties, do their duties in an orderly manner, and will be eager to help their colleagues; In life, they are happy and indifferent, warm and loving to their families and loyal to their friends. Such people will not be mean and haggle over every ounce, because their hard work has already forged their strong hearts. The mediocre people have never tried once. They are content with the status quo and drift with the current. They have never touched excellence and have no intention to pursue excellence. three It is great wisdom not to be an enemy of the ordinary nor to be associated with the mediocre. The achievements of life, hard work and luck account for half and support each other. No matter how excellent a person is, he may achieve mediocrity, but a person without fighting spirit, even if he is listed in his position, will never be able to stick to it. To accept the ordinary is to be open-minded and calm after struggle. Willing to be mediocre is cowardice and laxity that dare not challenge. If you really accept the commonness from your heart, you will also involuntarily refuse the commonness. Faced with the past achievements, ordinary people will not remember the past, and ordinary people can't wait to boast; In the face of current life, ordinary people seriously manage, and ordinary people muddle through. Most importantly, facing the future, ordinary people still have the courage to face all the ups and downs of honor and disgrace, while ordinary people may look left and right and run away. You and I are all mortals, living in the trivial life of daily necessities and moving forward in the unknown. The road ahead is long and ups and downs are unpredictable. What we need to do is to keep our hearts full of sunshine and live seriously. Accept the ordinary, you can look up at the stars when the inner peace; Refusing mediocrity can make you walk firmly when you bow down. The way to live a happy life is to frankly accept the commonness and firmly reject the commonness.
