Living in this era, if you don’t work hard enough, you will be eliminated!

?

A long time ago, the topic "It is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family" was a hot search topic.

The reason why it has aroused widespread discussion is that with the rapid development of the economy and the tilt of educational resources, the cost of raising a child from a poor family is getting higher and higher.

Contemporary people’s anxiety manifests itself in all aspects, especially in educational anxiety.

In this era of materialistic desires, people's minds are inevitably impetuous, which makes people think: "It's not just youth that is crushed by utilitarian values." Many parents have had the idea of ??"not letting their children lose at the starting line" since they were young, and have instilled the concept of so-called "elite education" into their children. They try their best to let their children attend various tutoring classes in their spare time. Children who should be at an innocent age mature prematurely and are exposed to the rules of the adult world prematurely.

In front are the Huanggang Secret Volume, "May 3", and the slogans of "As long as you can't learn to die, learn to die" from Hengshui and Maotanchang. As we fight all the way to pass the college entrance examination and enter university, the "anxiety" caused by competition is increasing day by day.

First there is "academic anxiety". Nowadays, college students are everywhere, and college students are becoming less and less valuable. It is no longer like before, as long as you get into college, you will be assigned a job. In addition, many jobs nowadays have academic qualifications restrictions, so junior college students want to go to undergraduate level, undergraduates want to go to postgraduate level, and postgraduate students want to go to doctoral level... In college, we are always rushing to take the exams for certificates and grades. If we are not careful, It is easy to be left behind by those in front.

In a speech at school, I heard a girl say: "Everything you do now requires a certificate. To be a teacher, you need a teaching qualification certificate, to be a doctor, you need a medical certificate, to drive, you need a driver's license..." I believe that although university is also in an ivory tower, it breaks away from high school and only rushes forward, just for the simple and pure goal of continuously improving learning to a higher level. University is an important gateway for career choices in life. Especially in the graduation stage, the confusion and anxiety are unprecedented.

I often see a parent riding a bicycle on a busy street or at an intersection waiting for a traffic light, with his or her child sitting in the back seat reading a book. While waiting for the bus, the parent turns around and Teach the children exercises carefully and not let go of a single second.

Or maybe it’s the exams that involve major decisions in life. In the long and silent night, countless desk lamps as bright as daylight accompany the bed, and they refuse to be extinguished. It’s obvious that the eyes are already red. , but refused to close it.

But even though we are in such a state of sprinting to meet every challenge in life, we still feel overwhelmed and helpless, and we are still left behind by an army of millions. Countless migrant workers dare not speak out when faced with "996". News of corporate employees dying suddenly due to overtime work have been in the newspapers for a long time. It has long been commonplace. Whether it is strange or not is a fantasy.

As a result, the "involution phenomenon" appeared.

The so-called "involution" originally refers to the phenomenon that after human society reaches a certain definite form at a stage of development, it stagnates or is unable to transform into another advanced model. When social resources cannot meet everyone's needs, people compete to obtain more resources.

The "involution" used by people now is more of a vent, showing the powerlessness of scarce resources, the hardship in active and passive fierce competition, and the maliciousness and absurdity in competition. Human irony and helplessness.

However, in fact, after we calm down and think about it, we can find that after putting in a lot of effort, it seems that we have not achieved the goals we expected. It seems that we have not succeeded after working hard, but in fact it is because , the slow progress caused by fierce competition is ignored by our naked eyes.

We only focus on the horizontal ratio, but not the vertical ratio. Is your current self any better than your past self? Is there any way to transcend your past self?

Perhaps, we should understand earlier that it is not valuable to be better than others, but it is valuable to constantly be better than ourselves! Don’t let yourself be passively involved in the wave of competition. The important thing is “who do you want to be”.

Don't let the outside world make your own judgment questions, make your own multiple choice questions.
