During my two years in college, I met many great people. They are either academic talents deeply appreciated by teachers or social experts with friends everywhere, but what I admire most is the old minister.
I think he is a person who can live a free life.
When I was a freshman, I was stubborn, fighting and making trouble, and I wanted to be a campus bully. His head teacher, who is also the counselor of the college, arranged for him to go to the outreach department of the college for an internship in order to collect his temper and make him suffer.
To put it bluntly, the International Liaison Department is a department that lets grandpa tell grandma to sponsor university activities all day.
At the class meeting, the head teacher came up to him and threw the planning scheme of the college sports meeting in front of him. Without raising his eyes, he left a sentence in full view: "Let me see if you and your friends have learned any real skills this year."
He didn't eat the meal, but slammed the door with a plan.
Three days later, he put the sponsorship agreement for the swimming pool on the head teacher's desk. He crossed his legs, whistled and played around.
Strangely, from then on, his "professional" career was like hanging up, and he soon became independent in the external liaison department and has been getting along.
He can easily get a sponsorship that is difficult to raise. He can drink and fight with the owner of the barbecue shop at the school gate. He can even make the welcome party of the college colorful without spending a dime.
He impressed everyone who predicted that he would be expelled from school.
Some people say that this is a beautiful life, and it brings its own wealth; Some people say that his success is because he has the courage to go out; Some people even say that he is a rich second generation, and he was just mixed up by his parents.
To be fair, I have been in the International Liaison Department for a whole semester, and I have never received any cash except a few odd vouchers. Every time I see the expression of disdain from the merchants, I feel sick, and I can't say a word of courtesy, so I can only run away.
At that time, I also thought he was a man with a background. Otherwise, how could such a difficult thing be easily completed by him?
But later I discovered that the reason why mediocrity is mediocre is not only that the ability is not excellent enough, but also that the pattern is narrow.
In the next semester of junior year, Brother Chen decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination. When he announced the decision, many people, including me, were worried. Postgraduate entrance examination is a double test of endurance and intelligence. An active man like him is bound to give up halfway. But to my surprise, he has been sitting in that small classroom for nine months, pursuing a new direction. He also leads a boring life of reviewing, eating and sleeping in an orderly way every day, and enjoys it.
Finally, an admission notice was delivered to him. When I learned the news, I realized how superficial I was at that time and took the efforts of others as luck.
At the graduation ceremony, Brother Chen spoke as a graduate representative. He said: "Many people are curious about how an idle young man like me got here step by step. You ask me, there is only one sentence, and I am dead. "
Only at that ceremony did we know that he had asked from one shop to another, regardless of the size of the shop or the temper of the merchant; He was once accused by the merchants and was impatiently driven out; He also took pains to explain the details of the plan to the businessman; He will also carefully keep every business card sent.
However, we only saw the glory of others before, but ignored the time of his silent efforts behind him.
It turns out that lightness in our eyes carries so much unknown bitterness.
Finally, he said, it really doesn't matter which stage of your life you are in, what matters is the direction you are facing at this moment. Even if you have nothing on you now, don't be afraid, there is a future waiting for you to fill the gap.
Ordinary people can also have a life that is not mediocre.
This is the most important lesson he taught me before graduation. Giving life vitality is never a simple matter. The easy road is never uphill. Seemingly casual success is permeated with unknown hardships. All glory should be exchanged for equal training.
Many people around Brother Chen are indignant at his achievements: why he can join the party, why he can be a minister, why he can get a scholarship, why we ordinary people are not in the eyes of teachers, and why we can't get any benefits.
Yes, I won't change until I know I'm not good enough Only one word can explain it, "lazy".
You would rather play games in the dormitory for a day than go to the library once. You will spend most of the 365 days in a drunken dream, and the meals in the dormitory are either brought by roommates or ordered for takeaway.
Many people have no social practice experience until graduation, and there is nothing to be proud of on their resumes. This is not because of mediocrity, but because I am used to mediocrity.
Just like Mr. Jiang Yang, different degrees of exercise will certainly achieve different degrees of effect; Different degrees of indulgence will inevitably accumulate different degrees of stubbornness.
Four years of mediocrity will only bring you helplessness when you graduate. Young life, when you haven't shown your edge, don't blame others for not having a vision. The law of the jungle is not so much. Why, your palm prints are only engraved on your own hands.
