I didn't know what it meant at first, but then I was already in it. "Tendency" is a meaningless competition, while excessive "involution" is an act of consuming oneself, so always staring at others can't get the due reward. What we have to do is to study hard, not "test paper"!

1. What does "involution" mean?

The word "involution" is very popular in modern university life, so what is involution?

"involution" originally refers to a cultural model reaching a certain final form or stagnation. If there is no way to stabilize or transform it into a new form, it will inevitably continue to make the phenomenon more complicated.

"involution" is usually used to indicate excessive competition in a specific field, and people are caught in a state of mutual conflict and internal friction. Many college students on the Internet use it to refer to irrational internal competition or "involuntary" competition.

This refers to the phenomenon of spending more efforts to compete with peers for limited resources. It can be regarded as the "expansion" of efforts, representing the endless cycle of energy consumption. With the development of society, the competition has become very fierce. More people have made efforts but have not received actual returns, leading to more questioning voices. "I have worked hard, why haven't I achieved good results?" .

More college students have realized that everyone is trying to move forward with a "running" attitude, but the result is that they are likely to retreat, and the result is so unsatisfactory. Therefore, any meaningless consumption can be called "involution"

Second, what phenomena can be regarded as "involution"?

"involution" refers to unreasonable internal competition, which is usually called excessive "competition"

For example, everyone can learn to rest at eleven o'clock in the evening, but some people put it off until twelve o'clock, some people put it off until one o'clock in the morning, and some people even put it off until two o'clock in the morning. Getting up in the morning is in an "involution" state, which eventually leads to everyone not sleeping well.

So to sum up, the following behaviors are attributed to involution:

1, meaningless energy and time consumption is "involution".

2. Low-level imitation is a typical involution.

3. Passive evasion of work responsibilities is "involution".

4. To complicate a simple problem is "involution".

5. Clinging to the same problem is "involution".

6. Blind internal competition that limits creativity is "involution".

7. Any behavior that obviously deviates from the expected goal is also "involution".

Third, why do these "involution" phenomena occur?

Opportunities can't satisfy everyone, everyone will participate. Just like fighting in the trend of "if you don't advance, you will retreat", the formation of "involution" stems from people's dissatisfaction and frustration with the environment that is difficult to succeed.

Because everyone is competing, the harder you work, the harder people around you are working. You sign up for one training class, I can sign up for more than two. Everyone consumes each other, completely disrupting their original rhythm, losing rational thinking in a blind competitive environment, and ultimately losing more than the gain.

The source of "involution" is several photos of famous university students circulating on the Internet. In the photo, some people are reading books by bike, some people are covered with books on the bed in the dormitory, and some people even use computers to write papers in their spare time. So "involution" appeared on hot search, which is used to describe the synonym of unreasonable competition among college students.

More and more college students feel that their energy and energy consumption have entered an infinite cycle. Compared with others, they have no obvious advantages, their success is getting harder and harder, and the price they pay is getting higher and higher. But many people don't realize whether they can really improve their skills through excessive competition and whether they can achieve their expected goals in face-to-face competition.

Therefore, the lack of scientific plans has led many college students to fall into involution. In this fiercely competitive social environment, college students need to change their original thinking mode, get rid of blind competition, take the road of differentiation and personalization according to their own characteristics and reality, understand what they want to do and what kind of person they want to be, and shape themselves into "another me".

4. What is the difference between "involution" and efforts?

We need to distinguish the essential difference between "effort" and "involution". In other words, efforts are gentle, while "involution" is malicious.

1, don't judge efforts as "involution"

We cannot deny the competition. Benign competition is necessary to stimulate people's potential, improve themselves and help others. Isn't it fun? Of course, in the competition, we can surpass ourselves, challenge ourselves and make ourselves better. This is progress.

We study hard to get into an ideal university, but there will always be some teasing voices, and we will regard real efforts as "involution".

For example, self-study in the library before the final exam on the network platform is called "involution", memorizing words before the English exam is called "involution", reading in the dormitory bed is called "involution", and reviewing at night is also called "involution", which makes more students who want to pursue their ideals seem out of place, so ignoring these is our better counterattack. In fact, we are not competing with others, but surpassing ourselves. When the result is not perfect, we will not regret what we have paid.

Efforts are not involution, involution is not the fault of those who work hard, but the problem of those who force us to work hard, which can be seen everywhere in our lives.

For example, the homework assigned by the teacher itself is a practical analysis problem, so just write the analysis process well. However, some people wrote a lengthy analysis process in order to get higher scores, and some teachers encouraged them to do so, so everyone did it. Finally, they are under great pressure to study. In order to improve their grades, they had to spend more energy on some homework, but the scores they got were the same as when they didn't take the exam, but we could have used this time to do something more meaningful.

2, "involution" and efforts to distinguish the angle:

"involution" is invalid consumption, and the real effort is not "involution"

1, different views on the results

"involution" focuses on results. Once you are dissatisfied with the result, you feel very anxious, and the sky is falling. It's easy to feel sorry for yourself and then give up studying.

Hard-working people pay more attention to their own gains in this process, sum up lessons after this unsatisfactory result, find their own shortcomings, find good learning methods, clarify the direction of their efforts, and study hard.

2. Work hard ≠ effectively, work hard ≠ work hard.

"involution" is a superficial form of "comparison", and "involution" is to compare who has studied for a long time, arranged more notes and done more exercises. Always comfort yourself and create an appearance of hard work. In fact, I really know how much I have learned.

Work hard to compare with yourself, not because the outside world praises you for your hard work, but because you have made progress than yesterday. This is not how many questions have been done and how much time has been spent, but how much knowledge has been truly understood and mastered.

Therefore, we must understand the essential difference between effort and involution. We don't want to win or lose, but to think, choose and measure, face up to our own shortcomings and actively correct them, treat people and things around us as objectively as possible, admit our limitations, accept objective criticisms and suggestions to improve ourselves, and avoid making ourselves runners and losers who blindly imitate and compete.

5. What are the advantages and disadvantages of involution?

In the growth experience of college students, it is inevitable to face appropriate anxiety and anxiety, which we must experience if we want to succeed. Because the competitive pressure is not universal, the "involution" environment of college students has not formed. In the past, the academic environment of many universities was relatively relaxed, and the requirements for students' grades were not high. College students are sleepy, cramming temporarily or working hard to complete the required credits, and then they graduate easily. Success seems effortless.

Advantages of 1 and "involution":

(1) "involution" has improved the cultural level of the whole society to a certain extent.

Of course, in today's society, people are more and more diligent, and everyone is developing and progressing under pressure. The material level is slightly higher than before, and the cultural level is also slightly higher than before, and achievements have been made under the change of quantity.

(2) "involution" improves the environment of the group.

① "involution" improves the competitive energy of the team.

When most people are in a stress-free environment, it seems that they lack the motivation to move forward. "involution" makes everyone work hard and believe that they should have a lot of positive energy, which makes the competition within the team more intense.

2 "involution" eliminated people who didn't want to work hard in advance.

When everyone is struggling to move forward and run hard, it is only a matter of time before those who stand still are eliminated. University is the last step towards society, which is closely related to society. If college students don't feel the pressure of involution on campus and find their own direction of efforts, they will pay a painful price once they step into society.

Of course, involution has mostly negative effects on people, which is why we define it as a derogatory term. For individuals, "involution" makes people in an infinite cycle of internal friction, gradually consuming energy and energy inefficiently, making daily life negative and affecting study and life.

2, the disadvantages of "involution":

(1) In the era of involution, people are often forced by life, losing their original happiness and lacking enthusiasm for their future work and life.

To give a simple example, we used to be very enthusiastic about work, but after work, they can live happily and the economic level is enough to meet the needs of the whole family. But now we can't get the happiness we once had in our work and life. Now I have to work overtime every day and do 996 jobs, because only in this way can I barely maintain the survival of the whole family under fierce competition. In fact, our happiness in the economy has not increased, but we are more tired.

(2) People's life pressure is increasing.

In short, for people in the past, graduating from high school and college was a great degree diploma and they could find a good job. However, with the gradual popularization of educational level, more and more people have college degrees, so it is basically impossible for college students to find particularly high-quality jobs, and doctors and graduate students can get more opportunities and good jobs. The development of "involution" among college students is indeed more and more common, and more people have degrees, which makes undergraduate course no longer a special advantage.

3. The negative emotions brought by involution will affect the people around you.

In addition, negative emotions not only affect themselves, but also spread their negative emotions to people around them, which has a very bad influence on others. Moreover, when many people fall into such a state of internal friction, it will affect the social atmosphere, and the worst case is to affect the normal operation of society. Therefore, the increasing involution will inevitably do harm to our lives, and we must try our best to prevent such a trend from appearing around us.

6. How to treat the phenomenon of "involution" of college students rationally?

First of all, competition is inevitable. We won't succeed if we don't work hard. Don't aim at the people around you, but have a long-term vision. Opportunities are everywhere in the university. You should not only pay attention to the opportunities offered by others, but also create more possibilities for yourself.

We must understand the nature of involution. There is a saying that good, good does not dispute, good and evil contend, evil and evil contend. With the improvement of competition threshold, people pay more and more, but they can't get the corresponding benefits. When efforts can't make life more valuable, efforts will "depreciate" to some extent.

I believe many people will be very anxious and afraid, and will regret what they have done before. Therefore, college students especially need to understand "involution" more clearly and make rational choices in an increasingly rigorous form.

"involution" shows that insisting on the exquisiteness, complexity and form of the surface is not the same as luxury. Only by further breakthrough, innovation and creation at a higher level can we return to the new normal of upward growth. At that time, there was no subtle, complicated and seemingly focused "involution" that tortured us.

After understanding the meaning of "involution", anyone can consciously avoid falling into "involution" and reduce the consumption and harm caused by "involution". Both decision makers and executors should judge before doing anything and try to avoid "involution".

"See the sage Si Qi how, see the sage and introspect", so when we face the phenomenon of "involution", we can't go with the flow and forget our righteousness. We should treat "involution" rationally with a correct outlook on life and values and form our own unique views.

As a college student, we should not neglect other aspects because of excessive pursuit of achievements. Practical ability is not determined by academic performance. We need to know more about ourselves. If you are unfortunate enough to become a member of the "involution", you should leave at once so that others will not ruin your rhythm. Don't blindly follow the trend, learn to pay attention to your future goals.

Seven, in the "involution", what should we do?

We should be good at analyzing ourselves and don't put ourselves on shortcuts. We should have a long-term vision, choose the road that suits us and be brave in facing innovation. Quit involution, compete reasonably, keep pace and avoid futility.

Competition already exists in our life. The increasing demand of people's life and the so-called environment of survival of the fittest and natural selection have increased the requirements of various competitions. How to avoid involution, the following suggestions are very important.

1, know yourself and know yourself.

This is an era full of "involution" and "lying flat", but I think young people can play jokes on themselves under the pressure of "involution" and give themselves a short break to think and review, but they need to adjust their state in time or consider what to do next.

Step 2 Face your own shortcomings

We all want to be praised by others, but if others point out our shortcomings, we may be unhappy or uncomfortable, but when we face our shortcomings rationally and bravely, then success is not far away.

It takes courage to face up to your shortcomings and shortcomings. We need to study further, break the old self and rebuild the new self. Each of us has shortcomings. Reading and studying all day is to gain knowledge and the truth of being a man and doing things, and learn how to treat people around you fairly.

3. Study hard and improve your advantages.

In the process of our growth, academic performance is an important prerequisite to determine personal strength. It is undeniable that appropriate academic pressure can promote the growth of college students. After all, this is a great probability that you will become a life-sustaining skill in the future. Only by having a solid understanding of professional theory and practice can we achieve a bright future.

Obtaining a good diploma is a stepping stone to employment, and it is necessary to improve the level of knowledge, because a higher degree raises the employment standard after graduation, and ultimately has a higher chance of getting a high-level job. But a diploma is not everything, it is only the way to success. You can also improve your advantages by obtaining skill certificates, practical skills and more practical experience.

Step 4 adjust your mentality

The arrival of the "involution" era means that most people in society are in a state of anxiety. In this regard, we should adjust our mentality and learn to accept every day of life.

It is the key to success for college students to be optimistic about competition and maintain a good attitude. The growing involution has left many people in a state of anxiety, tension and confusion, but these negative emotions can't help them out of the predicament. It is also good to pay attention to the combination of work and rest and cultivate some hobbies that can relieve psychological pressure, such as sports, musical instruments and reading.

5. Do your best and acknowledge the boundaries.

There is no doubt that each of us is limited in ability, and the limitation of human knowledge always determines the limitation of human knowledge. Human's cognition of the infinitely developing world is limited, which also shows that human's cognition is limited, and some of our viewpoints are only one-sided, so many viewpoints are considered correct because they are not criticized. Subjective consciousness occupies most of our cognition, which means that we are always in a state of progress, so just do our best.

In any case, in this era, there are more choices than people think. Do what you find interesting, do what you find most interesting, and stick to it. If it succeeds, it will be an unexpected harvest. If you can't do it, but you try your best, there is nothing wrong with having a clear conscience.

6, clear planning

Only by having a clear goal and paying appropriate energy can we help ourselves to work hard every day and help ourselves to embark on the ideal road smoothly. If you set your goal too high, you should make some adjustments, consider the worst, let go of your obsession and learn to accept the final result. Make your own development plan, actively face social competition and pave the way for yourself. No matter what you do, you should have your own opinion.

Don't blindly follow the trend, what suits others may not suit you, and don't blindly follow others' behavior. If you think more about your behavior habits, you can find your core competence, cultivate it and take actions that suit you.

What we need to pay attention to is not only involution itself, but also utilitarianism hidden behind it. We use quantitative indicators such as grades, recognition and work experience to measure the happiness of life. The person who walks in front is the "king of volume", and the person who walks behind is the loser. This phenomenon has put everyone in a serious predicament.

We should avoid being implicated, find our own advantages, and work harder on this basis to form our own unique advantages.

Finally, I just want to say-there is no such thing as failure, unless you stop trying, all regrets are paving the way for future happiness.
