How important is a person's birth? Let him tell you.

Everyone has a different background. Some people come from poor families, while others come from rich families. People from rich backgrounds can never feel the same way as people from poor backgrounds, just like the darkness of day and night.

Being born in poverty will make people humble, or rather make people feel inferior. People born in poverty are usually thrifty under the influence of their parents and families, and give others a stingy feeling in social communication. Most people born in poverty have never seen the world, lack self-confidence, are not good at expressing themselves, and even like to hide themselves and be unsmiling; People born in poverty have fragile feelings, and a casual word or joke or even a look from others will sting him like a sword.

After being admitted to Peking University, Yu, the founder of New Oriental, found that he was too different from his classmates around him. Others seem to be artistic geniuses or sports geniuses, but he seems to know nothing but study. Finally, he had a swimming lesson. Faced with the fact that many students can't swim, he plopped into the swimming pool and swam away. The substitute teacher casually said, "I've never seen a dog plane so fast." The whole class burst into laughter, and I felt greatly moved. If it weren't for poor birth or humble self-esteem, maybe it was just a harmless joke.

When I first arrived at Peking University, I saw my roommate reading a book called The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. I asked in my hometown dialect, "Do I still need to read this kind of book to go to college?" ? Without saying a word, the classmate took the book away from his eyes and glanced at it contemptuously, which is worth a thousand words.

Most people think that everything will be wonderful when they enter a prestigious school like Peking University, but this is not the case. When Yu entered Peking University, problems followed. Because I can't speak Mandarin, my English level is poor, and I haven't read any extracurricular books, so I have been ridiculed and ridiculed by my classmates and roommates. First of all, the class meeting has just begun. After introducing himself in his hometown dialect, the monitor said to him, "Yu, please don't speak Japanese", because what Yu did was to practice Mandarin on the radio every day for a year. The second thing is that the English teacher said that "I can only understand the word' Yu' in English", because I practice oral English by memorizing words every day 10 hours. The third thing is that my roommate who read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich gave him a white look, letting Yu know that he came to Peking University not only to learn English, but also to read a lot of books and learn more knowledge, so that he read more than 800 books during his five years in college (more than 200 books a year due to illness). The first book was The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, which he read three times. Of course, such incidents are not limited to these.

Without these people, I might not have done so well in the TOEFL test, published my own book, made speeches all over the country, or even succeeded later. As Sakyamuni said, "No matter who you meet, he is the one who should appear in your life. It is no accident that he will teach you something. " So thank those who criticize and correct you in life, even those who laugh at you and laugh at you. Maybe ta is your noble person.

Although he studied very hard from the beginning during his college years, his college grades kept counting down and he graduated with the fifth lowest score in his class, he never compromised and never gave up. He clearly knows that if he doesn't work hard, he may even be difficult to graduate. At the graduation ceremony, he said, "You all achieved excellent results. I am an underachiever in our class, but I believe that as long as I keep working hard, I need 10 years for what you did in five years and 20 years for what you did in 10 years. " Because he knows how to look for hope in "despair", so as to take the initiative to grasp his own life trajectory.

If birth is the starting point of life, not something we can decide, then the end of life can be decided by ourselves. Yu said, "Life is like climbing a mountain. If the goal is the same mountain, you don't care how low your starting point is. As long as you keep climbing, even if the pace is slow, it is only a matter of time before you reach the peak. " .

It is said that there are two kinds of animals in the world that can reach the top of the pyramid. One is an eagle with its own wings and talent, and the other is a snail with its own persistence and perseverance. Yu compares himself to a snail, but he believes that he will eventually reach the top of the pyramid like an eagle, and see the world and harvest the same achievements as an eagle.

The phrase "it is difficult for poor families to have expensive children" makes more and more people begin to complain about their origins, especially those born in rural areas or poor families, complaining that their parents have nothing and can't give themselves good living conditions or better education conditions, and take this as a reason for not working hard. I didn't know that poverty can also be turned into resources. Poverty can provide you with space and motivation to struggle. The bitterness and pain, humiliation and depression of poverty will eventually turn into infinite strength and rich nutrition. This kind of power pushes you forward to your life goals, and this kind of nutrition nourishes your originally barren life.

I was born in poverty, a native of rural areas. I hope that all people born in poverty can be humble, diligent and brave on the road of growth like Yu, look for hope in setbacks and failures, and one day stand on their own stage like Yu, and treat their white eyes and ridicule as a story or joke so easily. It doesn't matter if you don't succeed like them in the end, then I hope you can be an ordinary person like me, a healthy and happy ordinary person.
