When they were young, every child was asked by those around them:

"What do you want to do in the future?" At this time, some of you want to be scientists, some are quite astronauts, some are quite singers, and some want to be painters.

When you were children, you didn't understand the responsibilities behind these jobs, and you didn't know the sweat behind success, but you just knew that such people were respected and powerful.

Now that you are middle school students, I know that your report card best reflects your sweat.

But, I also know that you are still confused about what you are doing now. Yes, sit in a corner all day, facing a cloud of chalk dust.

There are endless exercises to write, endless classes in time, to endure the nagging of teachers at school every day, and to be scolded by parents at home with their report cards.

This kind of life is boring and tasteless, which makes people resentful. But is learning really such a fun and meaningless thing?

I've also had self-doubts:

"What's the use of persecuting you like this?" Later, I found the answer. In her book "Dear Andre", Lung Yingtai said: "Son, I ask you to study hard, not because I want you to compare your grades with others, but because I hope that you will have the right to choose in the future, choose meaningful and time-consuming work, instead of being forced to earn a living." When your work has meaning in your heart, you have a sense of accomplishment. When your work gives you time and does not deprive you of life, you have dignity. A sense of accomplishment and dignity that gives you joy. "Everyone has their own hobbies, everyone has their own admirers, and everyone has their own life that they yearn for.

so-called

The "right to choose" is nothing more than the right to choose one's future life and work. You may not feel important now, or even feel that you don't care if you do anything else.

But when a person wants to work in a field they don't like for a year, ten years, decades, or even a lifetime.

This kind of pain is something that our classmates can imagine. It's like forcing a person who loves ancient poetry and literary classics to write mathematics all day long, and forcing a person who loves dance to sit in front of a drawing board and draw all day long.

Can you be happy when you spend your life doing things you don't like? Can there be a sense of accomplishment and dignity?

2 Of course, I also understand that there are many students who do not know what they want to do in the future. You may be confused or even helpless.

If you don't even have a goal, how can you talk about the way forward? However, what I need to tell you here is that people will face many choices and many accidents in their lives.

Life is not a pool of stagnant water, there is always something that will make waves. Sometimes, because of a small conversation, or even a scene, people suddenly have a goal.

This is a normal thing. So, don't be discouraged and don't be sad. We must believe that the efforts of the present are the cornerstone of success in the future.

American columnist William Corbett once wrote in an article: Our eyes cannot be set on decades later, and our hands cannot touch the goal in decades at once.
