Friends always use "maybe no one around me works hard, so I have never been able to work hard." Summarize the present. I like to try my best to surround myself in a stable environment with no one to accompany me, so that I can't worry about it, and I have turned down jobs that interest me many times. Hearing her say this, I often doubt that I can't make up my mind to work hard. Is it really because of the environment around you? If so, is it a necessary relationship?
When I was first promoted, there was a very hard-working girl in the dormitory. Because the school near the senior high school entrance examination is convenient, there is no uniform lights-out time in the dormitory. I often study quietly until the early hours of the morning. She is probably the kind of person who is not smart but willing to spend a lot of time studying hard when she was a student, and diligence can make up for it. At that time, she was almost a love-hate person in the whole dormitory.
I study until 2 am every day, and I will set an alarm clock to get up on time to recite words and texts around 5 am. She stayed up reading all night, just like a thorn in her arm, so no one could have a good sleep. Staring at it in the middle of the night, I can always see the white light on the lower berth, accompanied by the rustling of writing questions.
On the other hand, when you have a roommate who has been studying hard in front of you, you can always give yourself a little pressure. You will feel guilty to see her working so hard. Even under her influence, for a time, everyone unconsciously extended the study time after the evening self-study. During the whole preparation period, she promoted the learning motivation of the whole dormitory.
If people around you work hard, they will be subtly affected. They will penetrate into your life bit by bit and change your living habits. Just like when you are in a bad mood, you need clear and positive emotions to drive you.
I often see many people asking questions on social platforms such as Zhihu. They didn't do well in the college entrance examination, so they had to study in an unsatisfactory university, complaining that their roommates were poor in quality, didn't work hard and didn't know what to do.
I am surprised that my roommate's lack of efforts has something to do with his own efforts. "When I was in college, I went to Internet cafes to play on weekends. It's all of them. It seems that college students go to Internet cafes on weekends. People go to the playground, so college students exercise on weekends? People go to the library, and college students study on weekends? So you see not others, but yourself. "
