The article written by a mother who stayed up late to write to her children is worth reading by all parents and students!

The author of this article is the mother of a student from Shijiazhuang No. 2 Middle School. She wrote some of her own insights and used this article to tell us: Why should we persevere no matter how difficult it is?

Please put down what you are doing and read it carefully. I believe you will gain something.

The following is the full text of this letter: My child, I have been writing and writing on my blog for a long time, and I already have quite a few words to write to you. That night, after you and I had a long talk, I wanted to say to you——

You need to be clear about "why" you want to study?

I just want to tell you, just to get into a "good university".

Your goals are not ambitious. You told me that day that you don’t want to do specific work. What you want to do is to make a significant contribution to mankind. I admire you very much. The higher the goal, the higher the achievement. I don’t need to say this again.

But don’t be so vain. This goal should be implemented into reality, that is, you must study hard and get into a "good university" first! !

The best for this "good university" is Tsinghua University and Peking University, followed by Renmin University, Zhejiang University, Nanjing University, etc., and the minimum should be universities such as 985 and 211. Otherwise, all your dreams will just be a dream!

A good university determines your future social level.

Just like what you said to us that day, you said: "I finally know why you make so much money, because you went to a crappy school."

Son, you said So true. Because we went to a poor school, we could only be assigned to the grassroots as a small civil servant, doing the most basic work. Even if we work hard all our lives, it is unlikely that we will become the director.

The circle of our acquaintance is from that small county town. The school we graduate from determines the path of our lives.

Now we have been working for 20 years. In less than 20 years, we will all retire. This is the trajectory of our lives.

We can only struggle in the middle and lower classes of society. A lifetime of frugality may not be as good as a year's salary of a senior executive. The salaries of senior executives are measured in millions, but our salary is only around 40,000 per year if we work hard.

I have never experienced it so deeply before. On May 1, 2013, at the 20-year reunion of our high school classmates, I realized: The gap that slacking off in my senior year of high school caused in my life! !

Even if you keep sneering at us, I really didn’t feel how good it was to get admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, because Aunt Liu who got admitted to Tsinghua University usually had the same grades as me, but She persisted and I was confused.

However, now, it is as easy for her to travel in and out of the United States as it is for me to drive in and out of Shijiazhuang. She gave birth to her son in the United States. Her son will be able to study in elementary school, middle school, and college directly in the United States without spending so much money. But for me, you will have to prepare millions to study abroad in the future!

Her son is a U.S. citizen and can enjoy everything the U.S. welfare system brings. Just like in our country, Beijingers enjoy many benefits of Beijing. This is the difference between me and her!

I don’t want you to wait until 20 years later to regret it. I hope you seize every minute of your life. I hope the detours I've taken can give you some inspiration. I hope we can work together to get through this most important stage of your life.

A good university determines the starting point for your future success.

Environment is important. You also said that night, good middle schools, they have Olympiad classes in No. 28 Middle School and No. 40 Middle School. Only key junior high schools can get into key high schools, and only key high schools can get into top universities.

You also said that the biggest advantage of No. 2 Middle School is that there are multiple ways to enter a good university. Olympiad, independent enrollment, and then the college entrance examination, but other schools only have the college entrance examination.

You did not do well in the two exams. You must be under pressure, fearing that you will not be ranked enough for independent enrollment. Children, don’t be discouraged, no one can give up until the last moment!

No. 2 Middle School has given you the external conditions for success, but it is you yourself who plays the decisive role. These people are your most valuable resources when you enter society in the future.

In the future, only when you enter a prestigious university can you know what ideas the professors there have instilled in you, and what kind of network resources you will have.

To be successful, a person must rely on the mutual support of others. Only a circle of outstanding people can produce creativity, wealth, and success!

Yu Minhong created the glory of New Oriental because of the resources of Peking University and alumni resources. It’s Jack Ma, Ma Huateng, Robin Li and other elites in the e-commerce era. If they were surrounded by vegetable sellers and shoe shiners, would they be able to succeed?

A person's power is actually very small, and he must rely on the environment to become a hero. My child, you are already aware of this, and we have always tried our best to provide you with the best environment. Moving from the county town to the provincial capital, although it makes you feel a little more difficult, we can provide you with the best environment. We have provided it, the rest is up to you to work hard.

The more important point is that only a good university can have a good job. Only then can you achieve the goal of "being better than the old and better than the old"!

For families like ours, you just have to "survive and thrive." You must first be admitted to a good university before you can say things like studying for the rise of China and seeking happiness for mankind.

Your father and I are just civil servants at the lowest level. You are not the "second generation of officials", let alone the "second generation of rich people". You can only have a good job if you go to a good university. Only by working can you develop further and realize your greater ambitions.

My child, every time I talk about this, you seem to despise my views, because your goals are very ambitious. However, you have to understand that when you enter society, "survival may crowd out all your youthful dreams."

Look at how many college students are unemployed right after graduation. Many of the temporary workers our unit recruits are college students, and they are paid 1,300 yuan a month. They also rely on connections to find people to join them. This is life, a very cruel reality of life.

A person's working environment and your identity determine the quality of your life. I hope that you will be "better than your master".

Mom does not ask you to become the richest man in the world. She only wants you to have a good and stable job in the future, to be able to support your own family, to be able to travel abroad, and to buy whatever you want without having to do what we do now. Generally being cautious and entangled is enough!

But all of this can only be realized if you are admitted to a good university!

Second, how can you get into a good university?

In addition to hard work, it is still hard work! !

Having said so much above, I just want to sort out the confusion in your heart and tell you that there is no other way for us to take except getting into a good university.

The following is what I want to tell you. Only by working hard, working hard, and working harder can you have a chance to get into a good university.

When you started school, you didn’t do well in the exam. You said it was because you didn’t finish your homework. In fact, there is a reason for high scores, no pains, no gains, especially in study.

Don’t be too conceited, don’t look down on any small question, don’t take it for granted that I know it, you have to really do it, do every question, practice makes perfect, and only then can you get ahead of others.

Three years at Hengshui Middle School is equivalent to four years at your school, because every minute of their time is spent studying.

Boy, when I count how many days are left at this moment, I feel very flustered. We don’t have many opportunities to make corrections if we make mistakes.

My child, you may understand all of this. I only come back occasionally to relax for a while. Hengshui Middle School does not have Internet access, so it is impossible for the children to have time to watch TV. My child, this process is indeed very painful, but if we are not suffering now, it will be twice as painful in the future.

Also, you must eat breakfast in the morning. This is the most important meal of the day. You can skip the time of polishing your shoes and combing your hair and eat it.

Children, we have worked hard this year, and even if we still fail to achieve our goals in the future, we will not regret it.

In my mother’s mind, Tsinghua University is not out of reach! If you knew what your mother was like back then, you would understand. My child, it’s not that you can’t do it!

From now on, there will be no more moments of relaxation. My child, I know you are very tired. But who has experienced the senior year of high school and is not tired. Who hasn’t experienced painful reflection and confusion in their senior year of high school? !

Victory only belongs to those who always persist and persevere. There are goals around you, and you just have to catch up.

Children, today’s slackness is tomorrow’s bitterness. How high your heart is, how hard you should work. When you walk into the students of No. 2 Middle School, there is no difference between smart or not, some are only hardworking or not. difference.

Children, learning is the bounden duty of students. At this moment, there is really no choice but to study hard. The road to a prestigious university is paved with papers as high as yours!

Finally, I want to say something about love

You know, your mother has never restricted your feelings.

I once told you that if there is someone who goes through the pain of learning with you at this stage, you may be less tired. If not, you have to work harder!

The real strong person is not your appearance or your family background, but your own ability. "If You Are the One" is a dating show, which is essentially a reflection of social reality. The so-called love is just that you can only choose such a person in a certain period of time!

For example, your dad and I. If I had been admitted to a better university back then, even if it was not Tsinghua University or Peking University, it would have been Zhejiang University or something like that. The people I met would have been different people, and the environment I would have encountered would have been a different environment. A small civil servant in the county got married.

In fact, everyone has been valued by society. Your job, your education, your family background, etc. are added together to determine the valuation. How good you can be with someone better.

This society is very realistic. Only by working hard and being excellent can you integrate into the circle of more outstanding people.

In this society, classes exist deeply and are not subject to your will.

Child, there are thousands of words to say, I just hope you can understand! Be able to work hard! Be able to go all out!
