In my remote village in western Guangdong, I was the first to be admitted to the best middle school in the city and the best university in the college entrance examination.
The summer vacation of senior three is very long, but it is also full of happiness and pride. I believe my parents are the same.
Twelve years of cold window
But it's almost five years since graduation I thought I could worship my ancestors, but compared with my classmates and friends around me, I feel that I am still struggling for food and clothing.
At school, everyone's difference is the difference of scores at most. Out of society, Jianghu people have to have their own real skills to fight their way out.
When I am still mechanically repeating that I spend 1000 yuan on basketball shoes that I like for a long time and save money, many friends/classmates have left me far behind and embarked on another stage of my life.
Middle-aged anxiety comes early
Especially those friends who graduated from junior high school and high school are far less than themselves and junior college.
Some of them are independent in a certain field, some start their own businesses, some become enviable high-income white-collar workers, some buy cars and houses in the Pearl River Delta, some get married and have children, and some have their own tourism career.
They, the university is not as glamorous as our 985,211,nor as confident and popular as our graduation.
But they are more practical and dare to fight. When we are suffering from loss, we look around and pursue the stability of nine to five; If they are sure, they will go on. If it is a big event, they will start again. Is watermelon sweet or not? How do you know if you haven't tried?
_ Silk Strikes Back
For example, my cousin, who is my contemporaries, is no worse at school than me. University, he studied in Shaoguan and came out to work one year earlier than me.
He has a house and a car in Zengcheng this year by his own ability in Guangzhou. Recently, he partnered with his friends to set up a tea chain.
But I still have no house or car, and I work nine to five in a so-called "stable" big enterprise. The salary is neither too much nor too little. I am hungry, but I can't hold on. I want to change my job, but I'm afraid I can't find a better one, and I'm afraid I'll have to start all over again when I'm almost 30.
Opportunities are for those who are prepared.
Therefore, I think the biggest distance between people is the distance of thinking.
And we should look at the next five years, 10 or even 20 years from a development perspective.
Don't think that entering a good university and a good unit is a winner in life.
Life is a long run,
Who laughs last,
I don't know yet!
