The way you conscientiously persist in doing something is really cool

After the yoga instructor class last week, Xinxin, my classmate who took the class with me, excitedly invited me to watch her dance Latin dances, Cha Cha, Rumba, with different strengths. She mastered all the dances with ease.

Putting on Latin clothes, when the music played, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to it, looking noble and sexy. I was watching and recording the video. When I was recording the rumba, I was so moved that I wanted to cry for a moment. If I were to say why I was moved, it was probably because I was shocked by the way she danced with me. I posted on WeChat that I lamented that we are the same age but there is such a big difference. A friend commented, "I really envy her for being able to dance so well." Actually, I am too.

Xinxin is a very gentle and generous girl. Because she is in the same school and the same age, she gets along well in the yoga class. She said that she has learned Latin dance since she was a child and has persisted for ten years. Now she takes advantage of weekends to go to two The dance studio offers Latin dance lessons. But these two dance halls are located in different counties, so every weekend I have to get up early and take a two- or three-hour drive to the dance hall in the county. I stand for a day wearing 7cm Latin shoes, dealing with all kinds of things. If students have questions, they will rush back by car before the dormitory closes in the evening. The transportation fee alone accounted for less than half of the substitute tuition fee, and the meals were very irregular. Every time I came back, I was exhausted, my legs were sore, and my feet were swollen.

While listening to this, I felt tired for her and wondered why she was tormenting myself so much. She looked in the mirror and carefully arranged her messy hair, and said: "Because I like Latin dance, and I enjoy the feeling of dancing when I put on dance shoes, so no matter how tired I am, I am willing to dance." Her tone was still gentle, but very Be certain.

Next month, she is going to Zhengzhou to take the national Latin dance teacher qualification certificate. She still looked gentle and calm when telling the news, but only those who know her know that she is spending time. After a period of hard work and perseverance, I can be so calm and confident.

There will always be people around us who know exactly what they like and want, so no matter how tired or painful they are, they keep persevering and finally become what they want.

I envy this kind of people, because the way they persist in doing one thing is really cool and dazzling.

Since when did we just sit on the roadside and applaud others? Since when do we just say "I wish I were half as good as him"?

When we do something, most of it is out of interest, but we rarely stick to it. Just like when I first entered college, I planned to run and clock in every night to lose weight. I punched in and kept at it for the first few weeks, but suddenly one day I had a lot of homework, and I was hesitant whether I should go for a run or not. Looking at the extremely large amount of homework, and thinking about how out of breath I was in pain when running, I comforted myself, thinking that I wouldn't gain much weight if I didn't run for a day, so I compromised. After the first time, there will be a second time. Later, the weather was too cold and I was in a bad mood, which were ridiculous but convincing reasons. As time went by, I no longer had to check in every day, and I never ran to the playground once in the evening. When friends ask, they always reply that they are too busy. As for what they are busy with, they are probably busy watching variety shows every night.

Do you have such a feeling that you feel very busy every day, but you can’t tell what you are busy with? There is no plan, no deadline, every day is busy and empty, there is no sense of accomplishment, no Happiness?

I agreed to review Level 4, but I stopped inexplicably after just a few weeks of memorizing the words. I agreed to do sit-ups every day to practice the waistline, but for some reason it was forgotten and I couldn’t remember. , I agreed to insist on practicing calligraphy every day, but I might be afraid of being teased by my friends and eventually give up.

Just imagine, if you persisted in these things, you would be a very talented person now.

Maybe he speaks fluent English, has a well-proportioned figure without any fat, and can write in charming regular script, exuding a scholarly atmosphere from the inside out...

But why has it been planned for so long and still not realized after more than ten years? It's not that the goal I set is too big, it's that I'm too lazy and don't stick to it seriously.

Curly Vian mentioned in her article "You have reached the age of reinventing yourself" that "for many things, the prerequisites are important, but the more important thing is the day after tomorrow." The conditions you create for yourself. To a large extent, your current appearance is shaped by your past self. ”

There are many friends around me who are self-disciplined and excellent, and some insist on running in order to participate in marathons. Some are passionate about photography in order to take beautiful photos, some insist on dancing just because of their love, and some have learned tea art at their own expense and are now national-level tea masters.

Perhaps it was because of the influence of these shining people around me that I didn’t dare to relax anymore. I gritted my teeth and stretched my chins in the dance hall, recited the words and practiced postures over and over again, tried to teach in public, and was busy with different tasks every day. thing. So when a child in our department told me: "Senior sister, I think you are so good and your college life is exactly what I imagined." I laughed secretly and felt that I was finally becoming the same as mine. My friends are equally enviable.

I have been very busy recently. I have to be responsible for many things at the same time, which is time-consuming and energy-consuming. I am very tired every day. I can even fall asleep watching my favorite variety shows. There are several nights where I can’t help but think about Cry loudly. They had long planned to go out with their roommates, but they just couldn't spare the time, so they all had objections. Finally, one night after I posted on Weibo, I cried in the quilt for a long time, and I continued to do whatever I was supposed to do the next day.

I say this to tell you that when you start to insist on doing something, although life becomes very ritualistic, you will encounter many difficulties, time constraints, and the incomprehension of your peers.

I hope you won’t give up easily because of external reasons. We all have to go through a period of trying to shut up and not complain before we can shine, go to cooler places and become cooler people.

Persistence is a long-term habit, and the things you insist on are all small things. Everything is a process of confronting yourself. Maybe you feel boring day after day, but I want to tell you, you simply I don’t know how cool and charming I am when I insist on doing something.
