But when we have a new goal, the old map in our hand may not guide us in the right direction, let alone take us to a new destination.
In this case, we should abandon it in time and put on a new map to embark on a journey.
For example, Yu, the founder of New Oriental Education Group, changed one new picture after another in his life course and boarded one new continent after another.
I come from rural Jiangsu. After graduating from high school, he has two choices: one is to be a farmer and live a life with his back to the loess every day. Such a life is too bitter and tiring for him.
The other is to go to college and leave the countryside. So he studied hard and studied hard. At this time, his only dream is to go to college.
He failed in the college entrance examination in the first year; In the second year, I went to the cram school for college entrance examination, and made persistent efforts, but the result was still not admitted; Continue to take the exam in the third year. This time, he finally got into the Spanish Department of Peking University and realized his dream.
After graduating from Peking University, I stayed in Peking University and became a teacher because I liked the stability and comfort of Peking University.
He is satisfied with the present situation. However, when his classmates went abroad and studied in better universities abroad, Yu suddenly found that the gap between them widened greatly.
Therefore, he had the idea of studying abroad. However, this time, although he worked hard for this dream for three years, he still failed.
Because at that time, the United States tightened the policy of studying in China. This change, although he got a high score of 663 in TOEFL at that time, and foreign universities didn't give him a scholarship at that time, as a poor child, he still had no money to study in the United States.
In order to earn money, he went to an off-campus training institution to teach English. However, Peking University was given a demerit for violating the discipline of school teachers.
This punishment made Yu feel humiliated, so he resigned from Peking University and went to various training institutions to give lectures.
However, Yu found that he and the managers of training institutions have completely different ideas. He thinks he can do training, even better than others.
So, 1993, he officially founded Beijing New Oriental School. In 2003, New Oriental Education Group was incorporated. On September 7th, 2006, New Oriental School was officially listed on the new york Stock Exchange.
……
Yu's life is full of legend and inspiring. His dream is constantly changing and positive.
Each of us once had a dream, but under the tempering of life, we forgot our initial heart.
In fact, since you have a dream, go for it bravely. Take a new map and go all the way, and you will get closer and closer to the new continent in your heart!
