Sometimes, as students, we will face all kinds of pressure, competition and anxiety. We were pushed forward, and everyone was like a high-speed machine.

Once you decide to stop and everything else is still working, there's a sense of backwardness. This kind of feeling will push us not to relax, forcing ourselves to start, accelerate and update iterations（迭代） every moment.

Life is no longer like life itself. We let the label（标签） of self in society dominate（支配，控制） our whole life.

Students should be immersed（沉浸于） in learning all day, and face the pressure of entrance, score and achievement all the time; professionals should work all day, and face the anxiety of promotion（晋升）, competition and livelihood（生计） all the time.

As a member of the student group, in recent years, the anxiety of the group is obviously felt. This anxiety does not come from the present, but from the invisible future, including work, salary, house and car.

Group anxiety is accompanied by the trend of the times.

In the era of knowledge payment, we are involved in the ideological（意识形态的） shaping of constantly emphasizing input learning and updating knowledge, learning all kinds of methods and skills, hoping everything is quick, but it seems to forget that in fact, every day's life itself is the biggest treasure house（宝库） of knowledge.

We can get all kinds of wisdom from three meals a day, from people to people exchanges, from the growth of fruits and vegetables, from household objects.

No matter literature, science, philosophy and other disciplines, they are all for the sake of people's life becoming better. Once they are divorced（脱离） from the reality of life, they will become flowers in the water and the moon in the mirror（水中花，镜中月）.

The book “you fly to your mountain like a bird”, it about the growing up experience of a big mountain girl.

Tara is a girl who never entered the classroom before she was 17 years old. Childhood and the ruins（废墟） of the field of scrap iron（破铜烂铁） as a companion, where there is no sound of reading, only the roar of machinery. Stick to the truth that my father taught me not to go to school or go to hospital.

Autocratic（专制的） father, weak（软弱的） mother, violent brother, closed conservative（封闭保守的） family, long-term religious education... These did not fetter（束缚） her desire for education. She passed the entrance examination of Brigham Young University on her own, and went all the way to Harvard University and Cambridge University for further study.

"All my struggles, all my years of learning, have been for the privilege of witnessing and experiencing more truths than my father gave me and building my own mind with them," Tara wrote

No matter in her family life or school education, she has been seeking to use her knowledge and mind to get rid of the ideological（意识形态的） cognition（认知） instilled（灌输，逐步培养） by her parents and form her own cognitive truth about the world.

She doesn't want to depend on others for her whole life and become a real self through her own feelings, experience and vision.

Years later, she wrote, "I called her that night, and she didn't respond. She left me, sealed in the mirror. After that moment, the decisions I made were not the ones she would make, they were made by a changed person, a new self. You can call this self in many ways: transformation, hypocrisy（虚伪）, betrayal（背叛）, and I call it education. "

In Tara's eyes, education means acquiring different perspectives（观点，视角）, understanding different people, experiences and histories, and reshaping oneself over and over again.

It seems that this book is a Book of inspirational（鼓舞人心的） life, but the lines reveal the author's thinking about life.

This kind of thinking, this kind of exploration carries out in her life, especially in the process of receiving traditional school education. Although she didn't go to school before the age of 17, she has different thinking and strong desire for knowledge from most college students, which is the core of her life.

It is the past life experience and the desire for truth and knowledge in the process of receiving education that transformed her into a real self.

Sometimes, once people think about what they are pursuing and what they want to become, their reflection on life and understanding of knowledge will update and iterate（迭代） invisibly.

And most of the time, people are too dependent on the judgment of the outside world and the indoctrination（灌输） of pure knowledge, and seldom look back on the inner world.

It is obvious that when a part of college students want to study, go to school and get employment, their instinct（本能，天性） is to seek the voice of the outside world. It is not difficult to inquire about the examination from various predecessors（前辈）, and there is little competition.

However, sometimes, others' cognition will limit their own view of things, so that they live in fear of things, or even bury their own internal potential.

No matter when, what needs to be more done is to spend more time to explore the voice of self, and the rest is just to implement the plan step by step.
