My child, even if you will eventually be mediocre, please don’t be willing to be mediocre.

Whether we admit it or not, most of us will live an ordinary life. No matter how much expectations we have for our children, most of them will eventually embark on an ordinary road and live an ordinary life. . This is not negativity, this is facing up to it. Except for those very few people who are gifted with extraordinary intelligence or who are born with a golden key, the rest have mediocre qualifications, ordinary appearance, ordinary IQ, and ordinary background. Even if we try our best, it is difficult to reach the heights of others. If this is the case, does it mean that we can do whatever we want, go with the flow, and indulge ourselves? No! I just want to say that we should have a normal mind and not be too ambitious or belittle ourselves. It’s terrible to be so lofty and ambitious, to dream of soaring into the sky, but to fall miserably in the end; to belittle yourself, to feel inferior to others, to feel sorry for yourself, to be surrounded by negative energy all the time, and to pass on negative energy to the people around you. Correct your mentality and position. This is the preparation before departure. With a good mentality, you will be relaxed and happy on the road. Go into battle easily and do your best, but you will continue to receive surprises. Although this kind of life path does not receive much attention, it is accompanied by flowers, and it must be extremely beautiful. I often look at my son and wonder, what kind of person will this child become in the future? What kind of school will he get into? What career will he pursue? How high will he achieve in his field? Of course I hope he can go to the best school and engage in the industry he likes. The better, the better. But what do I hope for most? Of course he can be happy. I hope he is happy at work, happy in life, and has a happy family. I know that he is likely to live an ordinary life like me, but I still hope that he can live a wonderful life. For example, although I am middle-aged, I still pursue my hobbies persistently, never put down the pen in my hand, and insist on describing the dreams in my heart. When others are watching dramas, I am reading; when others are shopping, I am writing; when others are playing mahjong, I am discussing with my children the writing skills of an article or how much his paintings have improved… I hope Lead by example and let your son get used to a life of continuous progress. I want him to understand that the meaning of hard work is to be unwilling to be mediocre. Even in mediocre soil, beautiful flowers can bloom and live a unique life. There is a saying: If a person wants to be mediocre, there will be few obstacles; if a person wants to be outstanding, there will be many obstacles. Yes, if a person wants to be mediocre, there is no obstacle at all, he can just be willing to degenerate. No matter how much others try to help you, it won\’t help. There is nothing more terrible than giving up on yourself. If you don\’t want to make progress, God can\’t help you. If a person wants to stand out, he must overcome many difficulties. Not to mention professional difficulties, just overcoming inertia and persevering is a big challenge. Cultivators are also lonely, and you must learn to enjoy that loneliness. Since it is so difficult to work hard and live your life no matter how you live it, why can\’t you just muddle along? Since most of us will eventually be mediocre, why are we still unwilling to be mediocre? Our life is hard-earned and we should try our best to live it wellIt\’s wonderful, you won\’t regret it when you get old. In the book \”How Steel Was Tempered\”, the protagonist Paul Korchagin explains the meaning of life this way: The most precious thing for human beings is life, and life is only once for us. A person\’s life should be spent like this: when he looks back on the past, he will not regret for wasting his years, nor will he be ashamed of doing nothing. In addition, we should also create our own value, leave some spiritual wealth to future generations, and set a good example for them. Only in this way will we be better than others, and each generation will become stronger than the previous generation. Only when young people are strong can the country be strong and the nation have hope. People who are unwilling to be mediocre must be full of beauty and hope in their hearts. How to get rid of mediocrity and live a life full of beauty and hope? The famous scholar Yu Qiuyu once said: The biggest reason for reading is to get rid of mediocrity. If a person begins to be mediocre in his youth, it will be very difficult to get rid of mediocrity in the future. What is mediocrity? Mediocrity is a passive and utilitarian attitude towards making a living. The mediocre lack nothing but are incapable of feeling the splendor of the external world, the depth of human history, the sanctity of ultimate morality, and the richness of the meaning of life. Only books can pour vast space and long time into you, can convey to you the signals that all noble lives have long since dispersed, and can present to you countless wisdom and beauty contrasted with ignorance and ugliness. One day earlier, there will be one more wonderful life; one day late, there will be one more day of mediocre troubles. So, kids, read! The earlier the better, read more and read good books. Reading can help you understand things, increase your knowledge and gain wisdom. In addition to reading, the following points can also help us get rid of mediocrity: actively take charge of our own life. Do what you love. Look at yourself often. Stay hungry for success. Keep giving yourself hints. Make full use of the resources around you. Children, even if you are a firefly and do not have the brilliance of the sun, you can still emit your own light; even if you are a small grass and not as majestic as a towering tree, you can still add a touch of green to spring. Child, maybe you can\’t become a champion no matter how fast you run, but please don\’t stop. My child, even if you will eventually be mediocre, please don’t be willing to be mediocre.
