How terrible is it for people to work hard when they are in college?

The university’s efforts are terrifying and subversive.

When I was a freshman, I met a girl who was a transfer student together. When I was preparing for the exam, I was particularly confused. We were both transfer students, so why were her and I so different in their motivation to study?

She is the kind of person who has an unknown schedule from 6 to 5. No matter what time you study at night, you will always get up at six o'clock the next day. The night before, I sent her a polite good night message and went to sleep. This horrible woman replied at 1:30 in the morning, "I knew there was something wrong with what the teacher said... Oh, good night." .

When I dragged my still-awake body to the seat in the classroom, she was already sitting in the "inherent territory" in the first row. Who knows how many words this woman has memorized. , how many cases have I read. I always have endless sleep, but she has endless energy.

She is the most persistent person I have ever seen. She posts to WeChat Moments every day to record her study status. At the end of the article, she has to include a screenshot of the Forest full of colorful plants that day. She thinks about herself every Wednesday - whether she has completed her study plan, whether she has strengthened her body, whether she is ready for the new week...

After the test results came out, I failed without any suspense. .

But to my surprise, she was the one who failed the list with me!

I was completely expecting to fail in the test (NO PAY NO GAIN), so I was not too disappointed. After a few words of ridicule to myself, I started to face a new life. But her failure shocked almost all her classmates. She cried all day long, and the next morning she was still sitting on her "inherent territory" with red and swollen eyes. Just like Xuanshen (the English teacher who took the exam) said, "Struggle is the normal state of life, not a short-lived courage. If you don't want to endure the shame of squatting in place, you have to endure the pain of climbing up." Yes, she Chose the latter.

She began to constantly set new goals for herself. After reaching them, she set a more difficult goal. In this way, she has been improving herself, subverting the previous state of studying hard and achieving unsatisfactory results.

While I was still worrying about CET-4 and CET-6, she had already declared war on Toya with her intermediate interpreting certificate. When I was still considering whether to go to graduate school or work, she was wondering which one she would prefer, Columbia University or Pennsylvania.

Later, I never had the opportunity to sit next to her and study with her. Later, I could only watch her hard work on WeChat Moments and silently cheer for her in my heart.

During the test, she may not have had time to touch success, but she can see it every day, and it is getting closer day by day. One day, she will have it in her pocket. Finally, she did it.

Working hard is not a terrible thing. What is terrible is that you encounter success after hard work. But what is even more terrible is that after you encounter failure, you still keep moving forward. In fact, the outcome was already determined during the process. The people who succeed in the end are those who are a little naive but always work hard with persistent belief.

So, college is very scary to work hard
