Opportunity is also a kind of strength

God rewards those who work hard. In front of success, opportunity is a kind of accident, but also a kind of strength

When I returned home at the end of the month, my aunt excitedly told me one thing during the family reunion dinner: Cousin Hui 'er was admitted to the experimental primary school in the county town with the best scores in both the interview and the written test at the end of the month. She is now taking training in a refresher school and will be ready to start her job in the summer. I congratulated her in public, and promised to visit my cousin at the refresher school in a couple of days, along with a few books of lectures by famous teachers, which I believed would be of great benefit to her growth. After listening to the aunt is happy from ear to ear, all kinds of fruits and vegetables on the table to my plate clip, lest I do not use the chopsticks.

In fact, I am quite familiar with Cousin Hui 'er's situation. Hui son graduated from a normal university in the provincial capital three years ago, in order to take care of the sick aunt, her academic performance is excellent, just gave up the superior conditions in the provincial capital job search, decisively return home, intend to do an ordinary rural teacher, to achieve the purpose of both work and family. Helpless, catch up with the hometown personnel work freeze, do not recruit new teachers for several years. Hui 'er was not discouraged. She worked as a substitute teacher in the village primary school and went to the nearest school to work in her spare time. She did not care about the amount of remuneration, as long as the other side could give her a platform to interact with the students. Over the years, Hui 'er has accumulated rich teaching experience. With her patience and love, she has won the recognition and appreciation of her colleagues and parents. At the same time, Hui Er also picked up the writing hobby developed when reading, will meet around the good little things and educational experience, through the form of text to the newspaper, there are some articles published, won the manuscript fee at the same time, but also indirectly earned enough contacts. Opportunities always come to those who are prepared. In this year's teacher recruitment fair, she stood out and won the top spot, which is absolutely a perfect demonstration of her personal strength!

Sleepless at night, suddenly thought of Peking University science student Chen Geng famous story. Chen is also a doctor of intelligent rehabilitation robotics of Peking University. With the book atmosphere of "poetry in the belly" and the optimistic, confident, steady and resolute atmosphere, she participated in the competition for four consecutive years and appeared on the main stage of the Poetry competition for 14 times, and finally won the title in February 2019. Appearing on the stage is a kind of opportunity, but in front of the opportunity, everyone is strength! In fact, Chen Geng is a late bloomer in the field of poetry. She really started to learn poetry at the age of 21 and has never stopped since. Chen Gengxue's poems have a characteristic that they are never memorized by rote. "When I meet a paragraph I like, I will read it over and over again, and I will ponder it over and over in the trivial time of eating, queuing, taking a bus, taking a bath, applying face cream, etc." In terms of taking notes on reading, she also invented a good way to memorize poems and feelings through micro-blog, and she "measured every word" and "carefully carved" every word on micro-blog. Four years later, Chen, relying on his love for poetry, finally compiled his unique understanding of poetry into a bestselling book, "A Few Lives to Cultivate the Plum Blossom", which brought the world a sense of "dark fragrance pervades the world, blooming a thousand trees".

As the saying goes: God rewards those who work hard. In front of success, opportunity is a kind of accident, but also a kind of strength! When there is a temporary deviation or frustration in life, we should not be discouraged, do not complain, but always with an optimistic attitude to do enough preparation. Only in this way, will be in the opportunity to come at that moment, boldly forward, straight to success.
