Our time is limited, and so is our energy. We should use our limited energy and time to do the most valuable things. The secret of success is to grasp the most important thing. We should always give priority to those places that can create the greatest benefits. If we persist in doing this for a long time, success will be closer and closer to us. Your life is so short that it is not enough to spend it on the things you choose. It is not enough to be the only person you can do all your life. It is a waste of your life to divide a part of your life beyond what you should do most-past, present and future. -There is a story in Li Ao's Aesop's Fables: One day, a mouse risked his life to challenge the lion and had to fight to the end. Unexpectedly, the lion refused. "Why? Are you afraid? " Asked the mouse proudly. "Very scared," said the lion. "Even if you use your life against me, I can't promise you. Because you are so small, you can't even fill a tooth in your whole body. I can catch better prey by fighting you. " If life is in the wrong direction, stopping is progress. It is always difficult for people to correct their shortcomings, and it is always difficult for people to find their own mistakes. Sometimes they know they are wrong, but they can't stop. Grasp the correct direction and stick to your own principles. There are many temptations in the world. There will never be a pie in the sky. Don't pay a painful price for a moment of happiness. If you find something wrong, you must stop.

Yesterday, Taizhou Evening News 16 published a full-page report of 14 grandpa candidates' college entrance examination.

Kang Lianxi, a "grandpa candidate" who just walked out of the examination room, waved to the crowd on the roadside like a victorious general. Onlookers waved to him, and some people took pictures of him ... The "grandpa candidate" warmly welcomed by the onlookers and the news media is Kang Lianxi, a 67-year-old farmer from Xiwa Village, Hanjiadian, Fuxin City, Liaoning Province. Counting this year's college entrance examination, it is already 14 times in a row.

"Grandpa" 14 college entrance examination, the spirit is commendable. However, is this method desirable? I do not think this is necessarily the case.

Through the analysis of reports, there is little hope that "grandpa candidates" will be admitted to the university. In the year when the college entrance examination was resumed, he failed to register for some reason, and he failed in the exam the next year. Later, in order to fulfill his college dream, he took part in the college entrance examination for more than a dozen times in a row, and suffered repeated defeats. With the growth of age, the function of the body is deteriorating, physical strength and mental power are not as good as before, and the learning ability and test-taking ability can only "go from bad to worse". What's more, Kang Lianxi has no wife and children, and lives by collecting junk. He has no money to buy study materials and has been holding old textbooks for more than ten years. His previous best scores were 303 in 2009 and 222 last year. On June 3, facing the reporter, in his own words: "I am a little absent-minded in my study now, and I can't stand it at all." From this point of view, it is even more impossible to win the college entrance examination-since it is futile, why bother? As you get older, it's time to have a rest. Why bother about the impossible?

Think about it from another angle. Even if it is on the list, the "grandpa candidate" may not have "good fruit" to eat. The high tuition fee is an astronomical figure that he can't afford; Three or four years of college time, time can't afford to lose; After graduating from college, students are looking for jobs happily. Which unit is willing to recruit an old man?

An old farmer can struggle endlessly, and the college entrance examination is not limited. The spirit of "crossing the sea from the sky" is shocking, and it is never too old to learn, and the spirit of getting old is also touching. However, regardless of the reality of old age, is there a problem with your efforts in the college entrance examination again and again?

Life can have many dreams, why do you have to dream of college? Even if you must realize your college dream, there are many ways, such as taking self-taught exams or reading correspondence-must you tie it to the "college entrance examination" tree? Persistence and paranoia are twin brothers. It is good for everyone to stick to their ideals, but we should assess the situation-we should constantly revise our goals with the changes of time, energy and times, and we should not tie ourselves to a tree. Otherwise, it is stubbornness.

As the saying goes, "persistence is victory". The so-called "victory" is to achieve what you want to achieve. But many people persevere, but in the end it backfires. They didn't win, but ended in failure. Therefore, "persistence may not win." Persistence can only be the premise of victory. In order to truly win, we must also cooperate with the right time, place and people. If the conditions do not allow, giving up is a wise choice; You know you can't just stick to it, and it's very likely that the bamboo basket will draw water with a sieve in the end.

There is a classic saying in the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: "When you hold your hands tightly, there is nothing inside;" When you open your hands, the world is in your hands! "Sometimes, if you can give up your stubborn and limited ideas and even immediate interests, you will get more and better things. Therefore, I would like to send a message to Grandpa: If life goes in the wrong direction, stopping is progress.
