My college classmate told me roast, "obviously I've worked hard, but when the results came out, I still couldn't be admitted to the school of my dreams." In fact, it seems that he really works hard. Every morning when we are still asleep, he has already got up and gone to the study room; Every night when we were ready to go to bed with the lights out, he came back with his tired body; Every weekend when we played with our friends all night, he was still dealing with those difficult formulas in the study room. I think the college entrance examination is just so hard. It's a pity to do something so hard but still end up in failure. However, I have found many times that as soon as there is any news in the class, he will respond immediately, and then continue to talk about it one by one; Several times when I went to the library to read, I saw him standing by the window, puffing and brushing his mobile phone; Even occasionally, when I read his learning materials, I found that there were large gaps. I was thinking that just because I spent a long time in the library, spent all day in front of that fixed table, pretending to work hard and hard, I could store the knowledge in books in my brain, and I would be happy to do it. What's more, when others said that the civil servant examination was promising, he put down his long prepared postgraduate entrance examination materials to see "Shenlun"; When we know that the competition of civil servants is more fierce than the postgraduate entrance examination, we return to the army of postgraduate entrance examination; At the beginning, I decided to take the major of school A. suddenly, I heard that the major of School B was very good. Instead, I vowed to take the major of school b... this cycle of twists and turns has passed more than half of the time. At the time of graduation, we all got offers from different units, but he had not found a job because he failed in the postgraduate entrance examination. He said, "I worked so hard that I was moved by myself, but in the end, I got nothing." I said, "then try to work hard again and focus on finding a job first. If you can't, just take the exam for another year." Many times, people spend a lot of time, seemingly focusing on one thing. They have so much time that they believe that they have been working hard for this goal. In fact, many people have no choice but to devote a lot of time because they resist their inner insecurity and great emptiness, or because they follow the crowd to complete. In fact, in this period of time, whether all the energy is devoted to this is ambiguous. But as long as you are sitting there and seem to be walking alone for this goal, you will get great comfort in your heart, let yourself numb yourself and announce to others, "in fact, I am doing my best for this matter. You can see the time I spent on it." When I was a junior, I also felt panic for a time because of the first two years of doing nothing and wasting time. I thought I should have done something in college, but now I have finished most of my college life. Apart from playing and enjoying life, I seem to have learned nothing at all, which makes me depressed and nervous. So in the next few days, I made a list of dozens of goals. I think, if I can finish these things well in the next days, it will not waste this beautiful four years of University. Then I went to practice, looking for a part-time job, being a tutor, buying a lot of books, setting myself a date for how long and how many words to write, trying to find time to contact old friends, starting to read practical speeches, trying to learn professional knowledge and English, buying a lot of research materials unrelated to my major, and even opening a shop with my classmates I read and write for a while, publish part-time information on the Internet, then look at the textual research materials, and then do some English test papers... I often do these things without planning, and feel exhausted all day long. Everything seems to be in full swing, and you are passionate about doing everything you impose on yourself. I don't think I'm working hard, but few college students in the world are working hard. However, some of those books may still be left in a corner covered with dust, and I may not go to read them; Set a limit on the words to be written, and put them aside after only half of them have been written; Those old friends who have been in touch for a while are still gradually estranged in the growing indifference behind them; Those inspirational and practical speeches have never been seen after several episodes; The professional knowledge is still of medium level, not up or down; English is not shy, but it is not proud; Those so-called certificates, except for those required for majors or simple ones, were never won again; The stores opened either failed in partnership or closed down In fact, these are not empty talks that I don't work hard. I am also working hard. I have also devoted a lot of time and effort to doing it. I have also insisted on it for at least a year and a half, but these goals have finally been stranded. Real efforts are not aimless and happy. They must have a primary goal and a secondary goal below the primary goal. The focus of all efforts is actually on that main goal. If I had focused on reading and writing at that time, I might have at least a million words in my hands and read hundreds of books by now. I might have published my first book or even my second and third book long ago; If we had focused on the research at that time, although we might not be able to win the certified public accountant, we could at least pass a few simple courses; If we had devoted all our efforts to opening the store at that time, there would have been no internal disunity leading to the failure of the Partnership During that time, although I looked busy, I didn't know what I was busy with and what it was for me when I lay in bed every night. The busier I am, the more empty I feel. The more I insist on it, the more I seem to deviate from my original direction. But when I got up the next day, I repeated the things of the previous day. I think that as long as I am busy, it means that I am working hard for the future. Often, we subconsciously give ourselves the illusion that we are working hard and tell ourselves, "in fact, I am working hard. Even if I fail in the future, I can't blame myself. I just blame God for making people like this." But do we really work as hard as we imagined? Are we not deliberately creating a busy illusion to comfort ourselves and the eyes of the outside world? I didn't know until I experienced those failures and the setbacks in my life. The real effort is to achieve the goal step by step in a down-to-earth manner, and we need to adhere to and be determined to never compromise until the goal is achieved. It may not be busy, but it is absolutely stable, absolutely persistent, and never boastful.
