I saw a news recently:
A college student who failed eight courses in the university, through his own efforts, attacked Peking University and became the only student in Peking University who did not graduate in 1985, 2 1 1.
The protagonist of the news is He Ying, who was admitted to Southwest Petroleum University four years ago.
After entering the university, He Ying adhered to the view that "the university just wants to do whatever you want, and nobody cares about you", and spent more than ten hours playing games in the game room every day.
By the end of the second year of senior high school, He Ying failed eight courses with an average grade point of 1.08.
If this situation continues, He Ying will not even get a degree certificate after graduation.
One night, He Ying went out to play games and didn't come home until three o'clock in the morning. He happened to meet his brother who had just left work.
The younger brother looked at the younger brother who was addicted to the game and said helplessly that he wanted to talk to him.
My brother told He Ying that the most regretful thing in my life is that I didn't study professional courses well during my college years, and I wasted four years of my youth, so that I often have to work all night now, with less than four thousand yuan a month.
He Ying was deeply shocked by his brother's words, and he decided to turn over a new leaf.
In his junior year, in order to make up for the courses he left behind before, his class schedule was full. There are at most three classes at the same time.
2065438+In March 2007, He Ying decided to go to graduate school after fully considering his actual situation.
He uninstalled his game software and came to the classroom at 6: 30 every morning on time. In the late sprint stage, I study for an average of eleven hours a day.
Many things happen. After the results of the 20 18 postgraduate entrance examination came out, he entered Peking University for a second interview with the national ranking of 1 1, and was the only student who did not graduate in 985, 21.

As a postgraduate party, I often have scientific research friends around me asking me: "Chunlin, I didn't study hard before, and now the pressure of postgraduate competition is so great." Do you think I can get into graduate school? "
I think the story of He Ying is the best answer: as long as you make up your mind to change, it's never too late.
Of course, just saying "change" is not difficult. The important thing is to put it into practice.
There are many such examples around me.
I decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination in March, but I didn't stick to it for a week. I didn't go to the postgraduate entrance examination classroom, and I don't know where the counseling book was lost. Ask him about his future plans, and he will always give you the answer: Let's talk about it then.
Of course, there are also many people who, since they have set the goal of postgraduate entrance examination, go to the classroom for self-study every day, even on holidays.
I sometimes wonder: Why do we all want to change, but the final result is so different?
Finally, a conclusion is drawn: people who give up halfway to change often because their motivation is not strong enough.
What is motivation? In organizational behavior, motivation refers to the psychological process that stimulates people's behavior. The process of inspiring and encouraging people to generate an internal driving force and make them move towards the expected goal.
You see, each of us will never forget to eat every day. Why? When it comes to eating, the motivation to eat far exceeds the motivation to do other things.
At this time, if we can't satisfy our motivation to eat, then our whole body will give us advice, so we can't concentrate on anything, so we have to eat.
So is change. When the power of habit exceeds the power of change, our plan will fall by the wayside. If the driving force of change is invincible, then all obstacles must make way for it.
You see, although some students are preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, they finally choose the game in the face of the temptation of the game. That is, the motivation to play games exceeds the motivation to go to graduate school.
Although some people are ready to get up early every morning to exercise, they finally choose the latter in the face of warm bed. This is because the motivation to stay up late overcomes the motivation to exercise.
Change is never an easy thing.
It not only needs strong perseverance and endurance, but also needs strong motivation to drive us to keep moving towards our goals.

As the ancients said, it is easier said than done.
Just lip service. Anyone can. So, is there any way to keep us motivated and become better people?
First of all, we must be clear about what our motives are. For example, studying hard for graduate students is for their better development in the future, and getting up early every day is for a healthy body. Only by understanding why we should do this, can we have a greater chance of achieving the goals we set.
On the other hand, some people around me have just made up their minds to take the postgraduate entrance examination. I heard that the postgraduate entrance examination was difficult and decided to go to work. But later, I heard that the undergraduate salary was very small, so I took the postgraduate entrance examination again. Over and over again, I am not sure what I want to do.
The reason for this situation is that the motivation is not clear. People listen to other people's advice and do whatever they see, regardless of what they really need. Which road is more suitable for their future development?
If you can't explain clearly why you are motivated, one thing can't last long.
Besides, you have to think clearly in your mind. What will happen if you don't do this?
When I was a freshman, I fell in love with a boy majoring in next door. The happiest thing every day is to see him when passing by his classroom.
One day, our two majors held a friendship, and the boy I like was there.
At the party, I thought so much, so I got up the courage and introduced myself to him so that he could know me.
However, at that time, I was a very shy girl and hardly talked to people I didn't know. As a result, although I got up the courage several times, I finally failed to take that step and went forward to say hello to him.
Later, the boy made a girlfriend, an ordinary girl who is good at chatting. It was at that party that he met.
After hearing the news, I hid in the dormitory and cried sadly all day.
At that time, I thought, I must get rid of my shyness. This thing can't be undone, but I don't want to meet a boy I like next time and miss it because I'm shy.
In the future, whenever I meet a shy stranger, I will think about it, and then I will have great courage.
Because I know that losing someone I like is more unbearable than talking to strangers.
So, when we are faced with the bifurcation of habit and change, first think about what I will lose if I don't change now. Compared with what you lose by not changing your habits, which one is more unbearable for yourself? Think about it this way, and your motivation for change will be much stronger.
Finally, if you want to change yourself and become a better person, the most important thing is to do it now.
As the old saying goes, the best time to do something is ten years ago, followed by now.
After all, no matter how far the road ahead is, there is an inch of joy when you go in; Whenever you start to change; For a little happiness.
