Not long ago, the high school classmates gathered, and everyone was very happy to talk about the current situation.
In the past few years, everyone has changed a lot. Some people have been promoted, some are starting a business , and many people are still studying in their spare time.
Most people have a clear direction and work hard toward their goals in life.
Xiaokai is an exception.
Compared with other people's gains, Xiaokai seems to have no joy to share with us, but just sighed with the feeling: In the blink of an eye, the college entrance examination has passed for so many years. I think that I played very well in the past, with more than 600 points. time……
I can't remember how Xiaokai talked about it for the first time.
He would show it off every time he partyed. When we congratulate our classmates for receiving scholarships, he shows off his college entrance examination results; congratulations to his classmates when he is promoted and raise his salary, he is still showing off his college entrance examination results.
If a person guards a certain peak and does not want to come down, then he will certainly forget to continue climbing.
Although Xiaokai entered a good university at that time, he was completely in vain in those years and barely mixed up with a diploma. After graduating, I went back to my hometown to find a simple clerical job, and I had to live with it too. I haven't seen any changes after graduation for so many years.
Life is a long-distance race, and a one-time lead does not mean you have been ahead.
Achievement in a certain stage only represents victory in a certain stage. For the future, no matter how beautiful it is, it is just the starting point of the future.
If you lie on the credits of the past and stop advancing, you can only watch other people go farther and farther, and the gap with others is growing.

My former roommate, Xiaofan, is the most capable person in my circle of friends. It seems that she can achieve good results no matter what she does.
Xiaofan graduated from a prestigious university. With excellent results and outstanding performance during internship, he successfully entered a well-known media work after graduation. Even though the starting point is higher than many people, she keeps a low profile and humility and learns from scratch.
During the day, she followed her seniors' interview and study . No matter how late she came back in the evening, she would sort out and summarize the work of the day and prepare for the interview the next day.
Soon, she emerged among the newcomers, often serving as an important interview and winning prizes in some of the industry's most important news contests.
But she was still as open-minded as an elementary school student. With a good writing style, she will still print out the manuscripts she thinks are good, and read and study repeatedly.
I witnessed with my own eyes that no matter how great her achievements were, after a short adjustment, she would soon enter the next battle.
I asked her why she did n’t care about the fruits of her labor. She said:
If you have been holding the medals of the past without letting go, then you can only have this medal; you can win more medals by collecting the medals of the past.
In just a few years, Xiaofan's work ability is getting stronger and stronger, and progress is getting bigger and bigger. The rocket-like speed makes me unprecedented.
Excellent people know how to clear themselves. Not only do they understand the direction of going forward when they are frustrated, but they will not relax their demands when they are successful .

There is a saying that: running water does not rot, and Hushu does not stink.
This means that the water must keep flowing to keep it clear and not smelly; the door shaft needs to rotate frequently so that it will not be moth-eaten.
The same is true in life.
Only by maintaining a state of learning and striving, can we always be active and positive, always unlock new skills and continue to grow.
Once stopped, it will slowly exhaust its accumulation, and it is difficult to find the original state. Like a pool of standing water, you will never see a new look.
There has never been an achievement in this world that can be enjoyed for a lifetime.
If you want to be glorious along the way, you must be willing to let go of past achievements, reset new goals, and constantly launch new challenges.
Don't let your momentary scenery become your only talk in this life.
Life is a long way, and there will be more glory in the future waiting for you to create, don't underestimate yourself.
