Use the best years of your life as a mortgage to guarantee a dream that will be laughed at if you speak it.

I once saw such a slogan at a Shanghai subway station: I want everything.

I don’t know how you feel when you hear this sentence - indifferent? Contempt?

To be honest, it speaks to my heart. I was surprised at first, and then amazed.

We are used to covering up our desires and feel that exposing them seems too greedy and ugly. But don’t forget, we are still young, we have a lot of time in our hands, our hearts are bright, and our dreams are ready to go. Why pretend to be mature and have no desires?

That’s right, greedy people can live better.

My dream is to get better. Because I want better, I deserve better, and I am willing to work hard for better. This dream is the tackiest, but also the most practical. I want to use the best years of my life as a mortgage to guarantee a dream that will be laughed at if I say it.

So when several competitions conflict, I am willing to read with the light of the sun and the moon, pouring sweat into every stroke of paint, and burying sleepiness into every word of the article. Although sometimes I find that I can't finish the work until dawn at three o'clock in the morning, I will still be willing to try for another ten minutes; although sometimes I will be a little annoyed when I see others giving up or perfunctory, but I will be equally willing next time. serious. Because I want better, I want a smile on my lips under the applause when I win an award.

So when I publish a blackboard newspaper, I am willing to spend twice as much time on my own as others to draw better effects, spend twice as much money to buy better props, and spend more Spend twice as much energy searching for more information. Even if you see other classes watching ghost paintings for an hour a day, and three or four people in the next class making trouble together while painting, in some classes everyone is unwilling to spend their own paint or wear out their own pens. Because I want better and want to witness the dazzling results of my hard work.

So when I was in school, I was willing to try to speak my mind when the teacher asked questions. I am willing to carefully collect the little time to deal with a small test that does not publish the results. Willing to be at the front of the gym class. Although I saw the silence of everyone when asking questions, the relaxed atmosphere before the quiz, and the collective walk in the physical education class. Because I want better, I want to see the relaxed pace of walking out of the examination room after one year.

In 2004, Steve Jobs ended his speech at Stanford University with the sentence "stay hungry, stay foolish." This sentence has a ridiculing translation on the Internet: be a laggard.

Such hunger, thirst and greed, such endless life. Full of vitality and enthusiasm.

My dream, the life I want is like this: pursue your inner desires broadly, pursue beautiful imagination with all your strength, and take responsibility for possible consequences.

I hope that we will not be content with the status quo, live brightly and magnanimously, and witness what will become better after pursuing our dreams.
