Enlightenment case of college students' efforts to succeed1;

A professor went to give a speech and the audience gathered together. After the speech, a student raised his hand and asked: My university is a third-rate university. Everyone doesn't study hard and has no plans for the future. What should I do in a situation where the starting point is not high and I am very confused?

The professor's answer is sharp:? Are you outstanding in this third-rate university? If not, I'm afraid it's not an environmental problem. ?

We often say that the best years in life are between the ages of 20 and 30, but this time is also the most troublesome time. If you count all kinds of troubles during this period, I'm afraid more than half of them are related to the above problems. It seems that in all fields, we are just at a low starting point and forced to start all kinds of life competitions; To make matters worse, when the starting gun goes off, we are often still in ignorance. We want to work hard, but there is no clear goal. We want to work hard, but we often don't know how.

If you look for answers from successful people, the answers are mostly similar. They will tell you that you should set a clear goal first and then start running towards it.

My personal experience is that if you can set a clear goal in life at a young age and strive for it unswervingly, then life will not have so many twists and turns and self-torture. In other words, those who can clearly know what they want and how to do it in their teens and early twenties are generally not confused and can become winners in life at a young age. For us ordinary people, what bothers us is that the starting point is not high and the goal is vague.

For me, the really useful advice is: when you feel confused, whether it is good or bad, set a goal first, even if you adjust it later, and take action towards it first. In the process of later efforts, you can constantly review and revise your original goals, and you will find that you are slowly moving in the right direction, even if you take an unpredictable channel.

Some people may ask: if you set the wrong goal at the beginning, isn't it a waste of effort?

This is a common mentality, and it is precisely because of this mentality that most people spend a lot of time sitting in the well looking at the sky and thinking about the correct goal of life without moving a step.

In my opinion, even if the goal is deviated, it is often caused by a low starting point, narrow vision and limited knowledge and energy. So, you can set a goal first. As long as this goal is worth fighting for at this stage, you should go for it quickly and go first.

Just like climbing a mountain. If you look up at the foot of a mountainous mountain, you can only see the nearest and shortest peaks. Only by occupying this peak first can we see the higher peak that was covered before.

I once attended Yu's lecture in New Oriental, and Lao Yu said: I hate that young people now set themselves a goal to be the next Ma Yun without any foundation. He is not even as good-looking as Ma Yun. ? There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and he said: Even I find it difficult to see the future or even five years later, and the reason why I have come this far is related to my willingness to make a little progress every day. ?

Therefore, even if the goal deviates, moving is more useful than sitting in the same place and dreaming.

One of my beauty queens enrolled in a minor language major that she didn't like in order to get into a good university. I was depressed when I was a freshman because I didn't know where the future was. After chatting with people everywhere, she set herself a goal: to work in the embassy after graduation. In fact, she didn't know what the requirements of the embassy were or whether she was suitable for the embassy, but with a goal that she was willing to fight for, she began to study for it.

When she has nothing to do, she will go to official website at the embassy to brush each other's job vacancies and job requirements. She finds English very important, which gives her an advantage over others in the competition. If she applies for a job in the embassy, the most likely position is translation-related. Oral English has always been her weakness, so she constantly breaks through one obstacle after another in oral English, pays attention to the news of Weibo and the embassy at the same time, insists on reading the news and policies released by the other side every day, and actively signs up for various activities organized by the other side. In order to make herself more competitive, she also participated in a semester of overseas exchange activities in her junior year, and got a closer understanding of the cultural customs and thinking habits of the other country. She also got to know officials of foreign embassies in China, and under her introduction, she went to a local non-profit organization for an internship for one month.

When my senior year was looking for a job, my sister submitted many applications, but when she finally got the offer (employment notice) from the embassy and a well-known e-commerce, she chose to refuse the embassy and go to work in an e-commerce.

In the past few years, she has done a lot of homework. Through hard work and communication, she realized that her personality is not suitable for translation work in the embassy. She is an offensive player at work, and the professional ceiling of the embassy is relatively low, which will soon be unable to provide the space she expected; E-commerce is a big ship in the limelight, which can give her enough space to get to know cattle people with various backgrounds and provide her with opportunities to ride the wind and waves.

Looking back at the goal she set in her freshman year, it seems out of date now, but her efforts for the original goal for several years have not been in vain. Every little effort and progress adds a tiny but vital chip to her final choice.

In today's society, it is normal to have a low starting point and be confused, because we are all ordinary normal people, but too many people are confused just because the starting point is not high enough and the goal is not clear enough. In the eyes of too many people, it seems that only one correct goal is awake, so it is worth going all out. So everyone is always looking for a shortcut to break through in various media networks. It seems that there is really a good way to lead us out of the trough like a helicopter and climb to the top of the mountain.

However, when your starting point is not high, what traps you is not confusion, but suffering from loss. What you want is not just a goal, but a goal that can guarantee your success; What you expect is not just a road, but a foolproof road.

There is no such goal in the world, and there is no such road. When you feel confused, quick action is the only way to overcome powerlessness, and only action can break through and surpass it.

Never use your own mentality and vision at this time to guess your future mentality and vision. Once you start walking, it won't take long for you to surpass others easily. Don't be afraid that your goals are not perfect and accurate, because it is not the goals that exist in your mind, but the steps that accumulate over time.

Enlightenment of college students' efforts to succeed Case 2:

? You have to learn something, right? This is a sentence that my mother often talks about. I never took my mother's words to heart until I graduated from college and looked for a job.

That day, I submitted my resume and walked home in frustration. On the way, I met? Game king? Little dream. He saw me and dragged me to the restaurant, saying it was a celebration. I didn't expect this boy to be so lucky that he found a job with a monthly salary of 6 thousand yuan in less than three months.

I don't like small dreams In college, he just played games all day and sometimes even asked us to bring food. We are separated from him by a wall, and he doesn't care. He always keeps his head down and does his own thing? He has no classmates or relatives in his eyes, only games. We were sighing for him. What kind of tomorrow can he have for such a master who is good at learning and becoming an official? Now, it is not myself who sighs, but myself.

It turns out that although he plays games, he is not completely bound by them. While playing, he thought about the advantages and disadvantages of the games he had been exposed to and what methods could be improved. It is precisely because he thinks more than others that he began to sell cards on campus when he was a sophomore, and later developed into a game hall. When I was a junior, I began to pay attention to the recruitment advertisements of Zhilian, and I ran to try to do game planning whenever I had the opportunity. As soon as he graduated from college, he was hired by a game manufacturer specializing in outsourcing.

This is so unreliable that you can play a comfortable job by playing games. Maybe he saw the doubt in my eyes and told me a story: that year, his aunt applied for an American green card, which they thought was impossible. An illiterate old lady in the south can't bring investment and consumption, and she has no technical expertise. That Yankee is better than a thief. Why do they want you to be an old woman? Hey, don't tell me that there are exceptions to everything. She successfully applied for a green card. Why would she? She conquered the harsh officials with her unique paper-cutting skills.

? I know I'm not the material to study. I always sing out of tune and write articles that I don't understand. These are my weaknesses, but I also have a strong point, that is, games. Why do I suffer from loss? No one is a generalist. You have expertise in this field. On the other hand, it may become your shortcoming. In that case, if I can get one thing, I can't stand in this society? He seldom makes any noise, so he really speaks in an orderly way.

After studying a seldom-used major, there is no hope for employment. What can I get? I really have nothing to offer, except the sentence that I never gave up in college. Games can open a road to employment. Isn't writing more advantageous than it? With this in mind, I ran home, took out the published and award-winning words and started a new search.

I feel much more at ease when I have something that I can hold in my hand. I seem to see a favorite job waving to me not far away.

Enlightenment of college students' efforts to succeed Case 3:

When I first went abroad, I spent all the money I had saved from working to study. Once, there were only two pieces left in my bank card. At that time, almost everyone around me was against it. Why do you want to study? After graduating from college, wouldn't it be better to make money quickly?

I stick to my own ideas and have my concerns in my heart. The two years of youth that I am determined to devote myself to study mean that I should make good use of every minute. I will have classes during the day, work at night and do my homework at midnight. As long as I think about the days when I will lose a lot of sleep and live by working constantly, I know that this will never be an easy road.

This kind of day is coming. My study life is smooth, but it is also very hard. Most of the time, I have to carry my schoolbag in running all the way after school to catch up with the restaurant opening at 5: 30. When I was at work, I was still thinking about accounting formulas in my head while cleaning up the dishes on the table. When there are no customers, other colleagues are playing mobile phones and telling jokes. I squatted in the corner of the kitchen and wrote down my ideas for the next day's demonstration.

Once I got off work too late, and the boss sent several of our employees home. My home is the farthest, and I walked with him for a long time. The boss who has always been silent and serious suddenly opened the box. Seeing you go to school and work every day reminds me that I had such a day when I was young. At that time, I just started working, and my performance was very good. The company sent several people to study and went to school every weekend. In those years, I was worried about reading while working. I didn't sleep late on weekends, and I often stayed up late for exams. Among my colleagues who studied together, only I persisted to the end. Ten years later, when I plan to go abroad, the first material that immigration officials want is academic qualifications. I am the only one who wants to go abroad so much. I was in my thirties. ?

He told me again when I got off the bus. Girl, learn more while you are young. Don't be afraid to work hard now. Many things you don't think you need now will play a role in the critical moment in the future. ?

Later, I graduated smoothly, and the role of study in these two years has gradually emerged. When I applied for my favorite job with others, HR only left me, because his first question was? What's your educational background? ; When I applied for a work visa, many of my friends failed to return to China, but the immigration officer didn't make things difficult for me because I had a genuine local diploma. Later, I started my own small business and began to write invoices to declare tax items. I don't have to pay for an accountant, so I can do it myself. At that moment, I understood that it was not others who insisted on learning things after graduating from college. Useless? .

I have observed my friends who are around 30 years old. Most of them live a busy and full life, but few people insist on studying and can't finish reading a book in one year. They have completely forgotten all the English they use in school, and their writing habits are no longer adhered to. This always makes me feel that young people in China give up themselves too early, and there is still a long way to go in life. Why don't they believe that they can be better people?

Every time I hear someone say, hey, I'm almost thirty, I'm married and have children, and now my life is very good and stable. What else have I learned? I feel particularly sorry. How can such a young and potential person limit his life so rashly? How to make sure that you don't need to change jobs or raise your salary in the future? How can I be sure that I will not be sent by the company to receive foreign guests and travel abroad in the future? And how can you be sure that your child will not raise his face and ask you naively one day in the future? Mom, why can't you do anything?

I have moved many times in the past two years and met many foreign housewives. I found a phenomenon worth pondering: except cooking, washing clothes and taking care of children, most of them leave a short period of their own time in life to improve themselves.

I know a Korean housewife who enrolled in a nursing course after her children went to primary school. After putting the child to bed every night, she eats textbooks and does her homework in the living room. When she graduated this year, she successfully found a job as a nurse and completed her life transition from a housewife to a well-paid nurse.

There is also a friend who works as a full-time housewife at home after giving birth to a child. She doesn't want to just do laundry and cook all her life, so she follows online tutorials to learn calligraphy. Although the process is hard, she often wants to conceive and create while her children are sleeping, but after a period of persistence, her online shop began to be visited by customers.

I have always been a learner, and I firmly believe that any knowledge will come in handy one day. Therefore, after graduation, even though my life is busy, I insist on finding new knowledge. I put Japanese discs in the car all the year round and practice repeating sentences in traffic jams; I watch English movies and English TV and write down words or beautiful sentences that I can't understand immediately. I went to learn how to make coffee, learn how to mix wine, and learn all the cultures that fascinated me; I have read many books, whether novels, biographies or psychology.

Many people think that learning is troublesome or useless. I stuck to it for myself. Because I still have many dreams in my heart, I want to go to Japan to enjoy cherry blossoms, I want to go to Europe to see ancient buildings, I want to taste sweet and sour wine on cruise ships, and I want to write good words that can stand the scrutiny of time. I believe that life is a process of accumulation and re-accumulation. I would like to see myself making progress every day through continuous learning and getting closer and closer to those seemingly distant dreams.

A friend in Zhihu asked, is it meaningful to keep learning English when you don't need it at work? She explained that she was teaching in a third-tier city, and there were no English speakers around her. She persisted in learning English for more than two months. The idea was laughed at by many people.

Netizens gave many answers, including a true story. A netizen said that his cousin graduated from engineering, has an iron rice bowl for civil servants, a car and a stable life. Others seem to have a rich life, but my cousin insists on learning English with Wenquxing, watching foreign TV and eating foreign literature. Everyone thinks it's meaningless. It is almost impossible for a small civil servant to study or work abroad.

But he persisted in this way for decades. When he was about to retire, the unit had the opportunity to send him to the United States, and the TOEFL required 60 points. It took my cousin a month to get the TOEFL score of 1 10, thus winning the opportunity to go abroad. Later, his wife and son could follow him to study in the United States. Useless? It has become a turning point in life that everyone envies.

Remember when Tang Wei was banned after filming Lust, Caution? She went to England with all her possessions. There, she went to a language training class to attack English, set a goal for herself and got a full scholarship from an art school. Later, she practiced English hard, from scratch to use it freely, which gave her the opportunity to cooperate with senior people in the British film and television circle and created a chance for herself to turn over.

When she appeared in the audience's sight again, stood on the international stage and spoke standard and fluent English, thunderous applause rang out from the audience. The continuous efforts in recent years became her perfect counterattack. So don't think learning is useless. Many times, knowledge is your self-confidence, your cultivation, your killer weapon, and the most effective weapon you can use to prove yourself when many people laugh at you, question you and oppose you.

From the beginning to the end, I feel that there are many opportunities that appear when you are ready. Some people can succeed in life because they are ready when the opportunity comes.

As Cai Kangyong said, at the age of 65,438+05, he found it difficult to swim, so he gave up swimming. 65 years old, 438+08, he met someone he likes and asked you to swim. Do you have to say it? I won't? . /kloc-When I was 0/8 years old, I found English difficult, so I gave up English. When I was 28, I had a great job, but I knew English, so you had to say? I won't? . The more troublesome my early life is, the lazier I am to study, and the easier it is to miss the people and things I am interested in and the new scenery later.

Especially like listening to people around you? Did you sign up for English classes at the weekend? ,? I'm taking an accounting qualification? ,? I'm learning yoga. Every time I hear this, I feel that the positive cells in my body are active and eager to try something better. Looking at their positive attitude, serious attitude and little progress, I can't help feeling that this is a fresh life.

Maybe after more than ten years, we have all become middle-aged people with many worries. What can distance us at that time is that from now on, we will continue to learn from ourselves. Whether learning a language, a skill, or even insisting on reading and writing, we may have better development in life.

And every time I think about it, my heart will be full of motivation. Looking at the road under my feet, I can't help telling myself, girl, life is long, please continue to refuel.
