What's the difference between involution and effort?

First of all, we must understand the meaning of involution and effort.

Involution: Originally, it means that after a certain final form of cultural pattern, there is no way to stabilize it or change it into a new form, which can only become more complicated internally. Now it refers to the phenomenon that peers compete for limited resources and make more efforts, which leads to the decline of individual "income-effort ratio"

Effort: go all out, do your best. It is a positive state of life and study.

The biggest difference between effort and involution is the difference between initiative and passivity. For contemporary college students, it is of great significance to distinguish between effort and involution.

Involution is an ineffective effort and a futile and unconscious group behavior, especially among college students. The phenomenon of "watching the computer while riding a bike" and "writing a paper with 10,000 words takes 5,000 words" is no longer news. The behavior of involution is very common now, ranging from occupying a seat in class to taking part in postgraduate entrance examination and public research. If you don't participate, you will be unsociable, so college students are unconsciously creating a tense and anxious learning atmosphere. Even if you are exhausted, you can't stop. This forms a closed loop. Once you get involved, you can't live without it. Involution is the expansion of efforts, making the efforts of ordinary people no longer valuable. It will only lead to a series of bad competition, in vain. Instead of cultivating outstanding college students in higher education, it squeezes students in disguise, caring only about success and not about growth.

Involution is a closed loop.

Reject involution

And hard work is to actively do one thing, study hard because of the desire for knowledge, cultivate interest based on one's own hobbies, and strive to pursue an ideal university or favorite major, rather than blindly follow the crowd. This kind of effort is meaningful and valuable. When a person tries his best from the heart, this kind of effort must be valuable to his life.

As contemporary college students, after receiving higher education, they should have their own ideas, distinguish the difference between involution and hard work, make plans, study hard and live hard.

Work hard, from the heart and serve the soul.
