There is a relative whose son is studying in a local middle school with excellent grades. He is the top student in our school, and he dreams of coming to Beijing to go to college. During the summer vacation of Grade Two, father and son came to Beijing and visited Peking University, Tsinghua University, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and so on.

The beautiful scenery of Peking University and the rich academic atmosphere of Tsinghua left a deep impression on the father and son. They certainly hope to be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua. But they know very well that their son's grades are not excellent in Tsinghua, but probably in the middle and lower reaches, while in Beijing Institute of Technology, they will be in the middle and lower reaches.

After the college entrance examination, the children's grades came out, which was similar to what was expected in advance. So which school do you think this young man should choose?

In the end, the young man chose to go to Beijing Institute of Technology. The reason is that the father of the child is a fan. At that time, he said that he was admitted to Peking University, but once he couldn't find his own position in Peking University, he felt very inferior and there were too many excellent people.

So the father and son reached an agreement and finally chose HKUST, choosing to be a big fish in a small pond instead of a big fish in a big pond. In this way, his future study atmosphere will be more relaxed and he will have more time to develop his hobbies.

Now that a few months have passed, the young man talked to his parents and said that he feels good in the new environment and his level is similar to that of his classmates. He got along well with his new friends, and his original choice was wise.

He is also deeply aware of this situation. The schools where he began to study since childhood belong to the best local schools, and he is generally among the best in his class. Therefore, my confidence in learning is that I will be in a good position as long as I am willing to work hard.

Looking back now, it is because the school I attended was not the kind of school with fierce competition. For example, my nephew is only in junior high school, and his homework is done after 23 o'clock or even 0 o'clock every day.

Very high-intensity study has smoothed out my nephew's interest in learning. Although the whole grade is among the best, when asked about his views on learning and reading, he said that he had not felt the real pleasure of learning.

It is because my environment is not so fierce that I can keep the habit of reading in high school and read my favorite books. Now this habit also benefits from the foundation laid at that time.

Therefore, I am glad that I have been in a favorable niche inadvertently. Even after I entered the internet e-commerce platform, I started from the sketch class, which is one of the reasons why I can survive.

Know yourself, find your own position, and be the designer of your life.
