Chapter 392 (1/2)
Once again, the unusual ermenas became the image of peace in the past. Except ausuna, all the other infected students recovered one by one, and most of them returned to their former lives, but there were some differences between them.
Gao TA college in the north, who has been the head of the college for hundreds of years, officially left. The new head of the college is a well-known sage, magic sequence 9. Quantitative balance, gold.
There was a thump at the door outside the office.
”In“
The old man sitting in the office looked at the yellow old books in his hand and responded. A young man pushed the door and came in.
”Good president, I'm Jack.”
The student looked at the old man a little uneasily. He had thin white hair and a thin face, but he looked very healthy.
”Sit down.”
”Yes.”
Jack went to the side of the sofa and sat down with his legs together and his hands on his sides.
This is the first time that he met the new college president. At present, he is just an ordinary student. Not only his grades are not excellent, but he also made a big mistake this time.
”Can you tell me what happened?”
The head of the college put down the notes handed over in his hand, which recorded all kinds of affairs of the college. It's hard to imagine how the former head of the college, Si ye, dealt with so many miscellaneous matters. It's just like an indefatigable machine.
He sighed faintly in his heart, and then looked at the student in front of him, one of the whirlpools that caused all kinds of things in the college some time ago, a third grader named Jack.
Judging from his resume, although the student worked hard, he was not brilliant and didn't have many bright spots, but he still wanted to know why he set foot on this road, or why the witch chose him alone.
”Yes, I grew up in College...” then Jack tells the story again.
”That is to say, you are disheartened because of the failure of the experiment and accept the handout from the witch, aren't you?”
”... yes.” As he answered this, Jack bowed his head, felt ashamed and ashamed, and his voice trembled.
”Nothing. Look up.”
Gold waved his hand and looked at the young man in front of him. He has short blonde hair and looks ok, but his clothes are a little ordinary, his shoes are a little old, and there is blood in the corner of his eyes. It seems that he hasn't slept well these days.
”I've heard some students say that you usually work very hard, don't you?” In fact, it was no longer hard work, or even self abuse, gold thought in his heart.
”No, it's nothing to be proud of...” Jack's voice is a little bitter, so hard, and will certainly achieve the desired results, but accumulated a lot of depression, anxiety, resentment and so on.
”Well...”
Looking at the young man in front of him, gold seems to see many similar figures. There is more than one student like him.
There are a lot of students who work hard at school, but not everyone can compete for the top. It's about talent, direction, effort, opportunity and so on. In many cases, it's not hard to succeed.
The college head, who has a wide life experience, said.
”In fact, whether in colleges or in various industries, there are always a lot of people thinking about” getting ahead ”, that is, competing for the top few, but they don't realize how small the possibility of success is, or even just a kind of extravagance. I don't deny that competition can promote people's progress, but competition can bring pain, and sometimes the pain is far greater than your harvest. ”
He continued, as if he recalled the faces in his memory and the figures that had aged in the years.
”Sometimes, when you've spent a long time and effort on something, even exhausted, you find that there's no change in the status quo. There's no change in grades, parents don't love you more, teachers don't notice, friendship is still like that, treatment doesn't rise, popularity doesn't rise, prospects are fuzzy, and there's no motivation to do anything... ”
”There is no doubt that this is a situation that many people will encounter. In fact, he is the same, you are the same, and I am the same.”
”At this time, you will be very anxious and begin to doubt the original intention of your efforts and the significance of competition. At first, you will doubt your talent and ability. Later, you will deny your character and origin. With more and more failures. One day, you will suddenly understand that not everyone has to reach the top of the industry or circle to be outstanding. ”
He stopped for a moment before continuing.
”Since ancient times, more and more people in this world must be willing to be mediocre, not to say mediocre for a lifetime, at least for ten or eight years, or even decades.”
His voice suddenly became powerful: ”what is striving for the upper reaches? Many times, it is actually a kind of spiritual kidnapping of the middle and lower reaches of the people who have occupied the upper reaches.”
