Your study is general, took an examination of this school now, the result is not good, do not get scholarship, do not listen to the teacher in class, on self-study irregular, the exam depends on assault, the word that the classmate helps also can every section take an examination of 70 or 80 very, but with excellent always have very big distance. You come from an ordinary family. Your parents are ordinary employees. Your living expenses in this city are 1200 per month. You have almost no special skills. You can't play guitar or piano, dance or draw. You want to learn photography but can't use picture processing software, and you have no confidence in performing on stage. You are not handsome or beautiful, you are not fat but you have no muscles or curves, you just dress up a little, you don't look outstanding, you can only be neat, when you pass people, they will not pay much attention to you. Your feelings also is general, sometimes meet the desired one, but always can't catch the opportunity, blink of an eye that the man was captured by the others, you begin to sad, to complain, but after a few days to start looking for a new sweetheart, just watching the lover, until you graduate, no development with any of them. In short, there is nothing special about you, just like thousands of other ordinary people around you. You can't be reconciled to not getting the scholarship. When you see other people get the scholarship, you will say that it is totally a surprise result, so you start to study by yourself, but you only persist for a week. You are not reconciled to your father's mediocre, so you criticize and satirize the "official second generation" and "rich second generation" around you, determined to study hard for success, or let their children become "rich second generation", your enthusiasm lasted for a week. You don't want to be good at anything, so you learn to play the guitar, buy roller shoes, borrow books on photography, look in the mirror, smile and say, "You're the best." This false confidence lasted a week. You unwilling no mate, you are determined to turn over a new leaf, you delete the idol drama soap opera in the computer, you lazy on the bed table, throw away all snack bag and then took a bath and grooming yourself, you sprayed water gel on the hair, good let oneself look very spirit, with a successful learning book you decide to go out for a walk, Start a new life. You've been in this state for a week. A week from now, you're still the same person you were a week ago. You browse online forums and come across a sentence like this: "Twenty is the best time of your life. You shouldn't be confined to school or classroom, you should enjoy life." So you believe that at 20 you should "do whatever you want" and have "your last free time." You should "happily go to love" "prime" "swing party"... Now, with the hard-earned money of your parents, with a famous brand bag, wearing famous brand running shoes, riding giant mountain bike, with Canon brand camera and apple brand mobile phone, often go to Starbucks to drink coffee experience petty bourgeois mood... then, Allow me to speculate about your future -- at the end of your senior year, you failed the graduate school entrance exam. You attend campus job fairs in a rush, but you despise many companies because they are not within the system, with narrow platforms and small scale. Until graduation, you still haven't found the job you want. You pack up and go back to your hometown, and your parents tell you to try out for various recruitment exams or local recruitment fairs, but you don't go because you think those jobs are too easy for you and you should be looking for better opportunities. But, when you go to those you value your company to apply for, you have too many competitors, and are not bad, you performed poorly, rightly rejected...... now, you may still in college, maybe and lovers boon conjugal love, stick together every day, go out for dinner, lunch after night lessons will walk together on the playground. When you talk about the future, you always come to the same conclusion: Don't think too much, just live now. If you're not lucky, you break up a few months later and you're miserable, wondering what you did wrong. If you're lucky, you'll be in love until you graduate. In the end, you're too good to go to graduate school or work in each other's city, so you break up with sadness and regret. Reality is harsh, and at this point, you believe it. Now that you're on Twitter, you're fully supportive of those you agree with, and you're motivated to reject those you disagree with. You know what you love and hate. You seem to have a sense of justice. You think young people should be brave enough to speak their minds. You probably never think about the question: Where do your opinions come from? In fact, most of them come from the Internet, and they eat away at your judgment. Now, I just want to ask you one question: what capital do you have at the age of twenty? You are just one insignificant person among millions and millions of people. Without you, the earth will still turn. I bet it's been a long time since you've heard the phrase, "Eat your cake, eat your cake"? Do you know how responsibility is spelled? When you talk about flying, do you forget that gravity exists? Now you, if or indulge their own lazy and naive, wasted time, so, you wasted it. Anyway, I've passed the age of 20, I still have a future, I have to go straight ahead, not with you.
