The starting line of life

A few days ago, my cousin who just graduated from college left me a message: "My academic performance is not good, and the university is a junior college. In today's society, there are a lot of graduate students. My academic qualifications are not top-notch, and the school I’m inconspicuous, and I don’t have any outstanding skills. Thinking about it, I think it will be very difficult to find a job in the future, because I have already lost at the starting line, and I feel very uncomfortable.”

I thought about it and gave it. She replied with a sentence that I like very much and encouraged her: As long as a snail can climb to the top of the mountain, the scenery it sees will be the same as that of an eagle.

The world is changing all the time. Some people say that this is the worst of times. No matter how poor a family is, it is difficult to have a noble son. However, I think this is the best of times. Compared with the past, academic qualifications are important but definitely no longer the most important one, and prestigious schools are just a halo that hangs over people's heads when they have just entered society. But the halo will always fade, and everything depends on oneself. Throughout life, the beginning of each stage can be said to be the starting line, and different age groups have different starting points. The starting line for twenty-year-old is teenagers, and the starting line for thirty-year-old is twenty-year-old, so by analogy, it is never too late to start preparations from now. Winning or losing is just a relative concept.

Just like the most commonly heard slogan in this society: Don’t let your children lose at the starting line, so large and small early education classes, interest classes, and cram schools have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Young parents and elderly Grandparents looked anxious and rushed to different extracurricular tutoring classes. It seems that if they don’t learn all kinds of knowledge as soon as possible, the child’s life will be over!

I heard a joke about a newly pregnant mother-to-be who was looking for a house with her big belly. I asked her why she was in such a hurry when the baby hadn’t even been born yet. As a result, the mother-to-be said: Wait for the baby. When you are born, there is no room in a good school district. Then you will not be able to go to a good elementary school, and you will not be able to get into a good university. You will not be able to get into a good university in the future, and you will not be able to find a good job. You can do it if you don’t rush. ?

It sounds ridiculous at first, but it is really sad when you think about it carefully. Nowadays, people tend to pursue the current hot products and achievements. They always feel that if they do well at the starting point, they will definitely win well at the end. But if you compare life to a race, then life is like a long-distance marathon. We don’t pursue instant explosive power and current sense of superiority, but pursue long-lasting endurance, because the final winner is never the fastest person at the start, but the one who starts the fastest. He was the one who insisted on running down. Because the one who laughs last is the real winner.
