1.Learn to love to learn
I'm not a perfectionist, so I don't get good grades at college until last year.If the time to turn the clock back in my early 15 , l won't choose the path to the college entrance examination.Chinese gaokao is not that unfair (although it clearly is -- children from wealthier families and urban areas have a distinct advantage). It puts far too much pressure on young people, and the education system becomes based on memorization and cramming, and does nothing to encourage creativity and critical thinking. The result of the gaokao is that it creates an educated elite who have suffered a terrible trauma throughout their youth, and who have not been trained to develop valuable parts of their personalities.
I am really such a stupid and naive girl ,I have thought I would succeed in fighting with gaokao.The fact is that too many people in China,even like mega city Shanghai,it's still tough for youngsters to pass. Okay,I acknowledge I am a loser in Gaokao.
Learn to love to learn may be a way to be better yourself.Constant studying and acquirement of new skills is a must in contemporary world if you do not want to be left behind.Read a bit everyday. I kind of struggle with reading books now because I never instilled the discipline early on. I’m trying to fix this in 2018.
2. You have blinders on, and they're damaging your view.
Today, we live with constant streams of information being given to us at all hours of the day. And without realizing it, these sources of input shape our beliefs--in the same way that our cultures, upbringings and lifestyles shape your beliefs.
I will never know or understand everything. And that's okay. I am not supposed to. But, understanding what I don't know is a great step towards learning more.
3.Nothing lasts forever.
Human life itself doesn't last forever. Still, human nature tends to hold on to moments and mentalities as if all things are indefinite.
Hurt doesn't last forever, and neither does happiness. This is an imperative lesson in life that many learn too late. What makes success taste so good is being able to remember all the times you failed. And what helps you move through failure is reminding yourself of the times in the past when you ultimately succeeded. When you understand the totality of "nothing lasting forever" you start you appreciate your ups as much as you do your downs.
Grasping this concept not only teaches you to be grateful for what you have, but teaches you to learn from it too.
4.Go traveling
Explore the world.
Open new countries and cultures for yourself. Travel as much as you can. Even small local trips count. Do not postpone the journeys till a better time.Probably that time won`t ever come.
I remember Douglas Coupland says:When you’re young, you always feel that life hasn’t yet begun — that “life” is always scheduled to begin next week, next month, next year, after the holidays — whenever. But then suddenly you’re old and the scheduled life didn’t arrive.You find yourself asking, ‘Well then, exactly what was it I was having — that interlude — the scrambly madness — all that time I had before?
Time flies. I want to avoid the awful feeling of regret in the future, live now!
