Xia Wanyu came back this time, and it seemed that she was going to stay in China for a long time.

After she went to Beijing, she was never heard from.

I called her several times, but it was either turned off or no one answered.

I wondered, but I didn't suspect anything. She is no longer what she used to be, and she will naturally have more things to do. And I'm not the little dick I was back then, and now I have to attend banquets every day, drinks parties, and even attend various activities, and I'm busy. It's a luxury to be able to find a time to rest.

In the blink of an eye, it's September, and it's the beginning of the school season for freshmen. At the beginning of September, the president of the university I attended contacted me and asked me to prepare for a speech as a senior at the end of the freshman military training and the opening ceremony. I agreed to this early on, and I was ready for it. So after the principal contacted me, I immediately asked the principal to tell me the time.

On the morning of September 6th, at my former alma mater. I sat in the front row of this group of freshmen, listening to the former president speak. She was an old professor with no hair on the top of her head. When I first entered the university, I also listened to his speech, which was very distinctive and taught people how to succeed. After the president's speech, he invited me to make a speech as a student representative of my alma mater.

I straightened my clothes and walked up to the podium.

Standing in front of the microphone, looking at the tens of thousands of freshmen, I was in a trance in front of me. Back then, when I wasn't successful, I gave speeches to people, and I was very good at speaking. But now that I'm a successful person, I stand in front of my students, but I don't know what to tell them. Talk about success? No, how many people are there in this society that have succeeded? Of China's 1.3 billion people, a few can reach the top of the pyramid, and most of them are mediocre.

I took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Just now the old headmaster told everyone that everyone can succeed. And what I'm trying to say today is, you're not going to make it. There should be more than 10,000 of you here, and perhaps some of you can go to the front of society and reach the end of your dreams. But most of you are very mediocre, and even many of you, in the future society, will lose something, and even some people, may become neurotic, such as: me. ”

There was a lot of laughter below, and I continued: "I come from a rural background, and my family background may not be as good as that of some of you, and now that I am standing in this position, I feel very uneasy. The society is developing very rapidly, and the information resources in the Internet era are also flooding, some of which spread truth, goodness and beauty, some of which spread positive energy, and even more of which spread negative energy, and even spread the evil of human nature, such as the small movies in your boys' computers. ”

There was another roar of laughter, and I said, "Now I can stand here and speak to you, to give you a speech." I don't know how many of you are listening to what I said, or if you will listen to what I say next, but I want to say that if you listen carefully and do what I say, your life will also change because of my wheel, so please don't blame me when you regret it in the future. ”

"There's so much nonsense, actually, I want to say. What is Success? Is it a car, a house, a ticket, or a status and fame beauty? Everyone's answer is very different, but how many people can really succeed? Most of us, in mediocrity. are living day in and day out. I know a barber who gets up at 8 a.m. to open his shop and goes to bed at 9 p.m. every day. Life hasn't changed in five years. But do you know what his signature is? Believe in yourself and change the world. ”

"I don't know why he put this sentence on his personality signature, but at that time I wanted to say, you have a problem, you are a broken barber, and you are still changing the world. When I typed this sentence, I was stunned for a moment. Why should I harm him like this, he has his dreams, he has his attitude towards life, why should I attack a person like this? ”

Then I silently deleted this sentence and changed it to a sentence of refueling, and replied to the past.

"Society is full of so many temptations, clothes, shoes, mobile phones, games, small movies, beautiful women. These are all sorts of things that you may be exposed to throughout your four years of college. I'm not disgusted with people coming into contact with these things, on the contrary, I hope that everyone will talk about a girlfriend in the next four years, whether they can go to the bottom or not, but this is your last youth. But what should you do when you graduate, when you have to face life? What do you do when you work eight hours a day, get a fixed salary, and then look back and talk about your dreams and ideals online? My answer is, to face it all, but to change it a little. A mediocre life is a real life. Not everyone can become a character like Taizu, and not everyone can become a character like Jack Ma. ”

"Take a wife and have children, and then watch the children have children. This is the life of an ordinary person, with happiness, warmth, helplessness and pain. I know that there must be a rich second generation among you, and there are also people with better family backgrounds. Then I congratulate you, you are already a lot better than most people. I don't want to talk to you about motivation, I don't want to talk to you about success, and I don't want to talk to you about dreams, because these things will make you too tired to live, life is to enjoy, you just need to develop in the direction of good, don't give up, don't give up, when you feel tired, tell yourself that you can rest for a minute, and then fight like a little strong. ”

"When you are old, it is a kind of happiness to think about your life and talk about it."

"Don't reject mediocrity, don't reject reality. Life is boring most of the time, but in this boredom, there is also a trace of love. Don't let yourself be too tired, and don't let yourself be discouraged, because this life is very short, and fame and wealth, society and status are just a passing moment. When you actually get your hands on it, you will find that in fact, the bowl of shredded pork noodles cooked by your wife when you go home at night is more fragrant than the abalone in Huangpu Hotel. ”

"Xie Lu, thank you for listening to my nonsense, maybe my concept is not correct, but that's all I want to say." With that, I stepped off the podium with an inexplicable feeling in my heart for some reason. In fact, until now, I don't know why I said this. But the fact is that I stood on the podium and told a group of college students who were about to enter the society, you just need to live a good life, and you don't need to pursue anything.

The negative energy of life, which is not in line with my character.

But I said it anyway.

However, the applause that suddenly sounded made me understand that this group of students who had just gone through the devilish senior year of high school wanted to be mediocre and less compared to others. Don't let the social pressure be so great, so that people can take a breather while working hard.

Outside, a woman in a brown coat with a black scarf around her neck and her hair tied back in a bun looked at me from afar. By her side, Zhang Ling's eyes were full of tears, and she muttered in a low voice: "He finally figured it out, and finally stopped working so hard." ”

Xia Wanyu in front of Zhang Ling showed a smile, turned her head to look at her and said: "He is now holding a bowl of shredded meat noodles in his hand, so he wants to be stable, if his bowl of shredded meat noodles is lost, do you think he will still be as willing to be mediocre as he is now?" ”
