\”Child, please push yourself into a good school.\” Dad\’s letter went viral

Dear baby: Time flies so fast, July 5th has arrived in a blink of an eye, and there are only 2 days left for the college entrance examination. You must be feeling very complicated at this time. Whether it’s anxiety or nervousness, Dad is very understanding. It’s the college entrance examination. At this critical moment in life, I have a lot of things I want to say to you. Some people say that the college entrance examination is not the end of life, but it is the only way to a happy life. My child, I know you work very hard every day. You have to do endless math, physics and chemistry, and memorize endless political history, but after all, this is a hurdle you must overcome. Let me tell you about my own experience. Once upon a time, my father was also a young boy. He had a rough time. He didn\’t want to listen in class, was too lazy to do homework, cheated on exams, and was addicted to martial arts novels all day long. His grades plummeted. In my sophomore year of high school, I had a crush on a girl with excellent grades in my class, and I mustered up the courage to confess my love to her. I thought it was a matter of puncturing a layer of window paper, but I didn\’t expect that she flatly refused and said contemptuously: \”Humph, you will definitely have no future in the future!\” Although he was a free-spirited kid at the time, My self-esteem is also quite strong. After this humiliation, I began to study hard. I got up before dawn to memorize and write questions, from morning to night, without giving myself a minute to rest. Now that I think about it, I am really grateful for those days of hard work, and finally transformed from a scumbag to a top student, and was admitted to a 985 university. After entering the university, the plants and trees inside, the first floor and the library, and the life of a teacher seem ordinary, but everything here is completely different from before. I thought that I would be able to live my life with peace of mind after going to college, because when I was in high school, my teacher said that going to college would be easier. Who would have thought that the learning atmosphere here is particularly strong. During class, few people skipped class and slept in. The teacher in the classroom was full of enthusiasm, and the students were attentive and active in asking questions. After class, it’s rare to see anyone playing games in the dormitory, and the library is often brightly lit until late at night. At that time, I had a roommate who was a top student and was very strict with me. Not only was he proficient in his science major, he was also very interested in literature, history and philosophy. He made a detailed work and rest schedule for himself. He got up at six in the morning to read \”The Economist\” and \”The Wall Street Journal\”, spent the morning doing scientific research in the laboratory, listened to academic lectures in the afternoon, and read ancient Chinese poetry and books in the evening to improve himself comprehensively. Guess what happened next? When I graduated, I was admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States with a full scholarship and flew to the other side of the ocean to study for graduate school. I admire you very much. In fact, you also know this top student. He is your Uncle Wang. Under his influence, I felt ashamed of myself, my dawdling mentality gradually disappeared, and I began to encourage myself. I used to look down on top academics, thinking that top academics were just nerds who only knew how to study. Later, I gradually discovered that the top students in prestigious schools are not only good at studying, but also play at an extraordinary level. In the high school in my hometown, I was a member of the debate team. At that time, debating was purely a fool\’s errand. It was all about silly fun. Sometimes we would get into arguments while arguing, and I would get red-faced over the outcome. In the end they broke up on bad terms. But here, before the debate, everyone will study tactics together, how to collect materials, how to predict the opponent\’s arguments, how to overcome the opponent\’s weaknesses, and make full preparations in advance. Well played, bigThe family will celebrate together, hold meetings to review, and summarize successful experiences. Even if they don\’t perform well, they will encourage each other, learn lessons, and find better techniques. Of course, when the debate reaches an intense stage, there will inevitably be emotional moments, but at this time they are still clear-minded and well-founded. Even if you lose, you will bow deeply to the other debater to show respect and admiration, without losing your grace. In every debate, we do not do it with a playful attitude, but do our best from the bottom of our hearts and perform at a first-class level. Learning and growing in such an environment, I unconsciously want to become a better version of myself. Many times, I spend time in the library, immersed in the ocean of knowledge. At that time, there was often a girl sitting across from me. Sometimes she holds historical and cultural books in her hands, and sometimes she flips through original English academic works. The way she lowers her head to read is very fascinating. She speaks elegantly, is intellectually generous, and is truly full of poetry and calligraphy. Slowly in contact, we came together. When I was in high school, I always thought that falling in love meant finding someone to eat and play games with. It was only when I fell in love with girls from prestigious schools that I understood what good love was. Her ambition deeply inspires me. Every day we read books together and talk about the past and present. There is a saying that goes well, true love is not about you and me, spending time together, but working together to make progress and grow together. Later she became your mother, and I myself was good enough to match her in both talent and beauty. From then on, I firmly believe that only by being with good people can I meet a better version of myself. Some people say that success in life is not at the starting point or end point, but at the turning point. For me, the turning point in my life was the turbulent years before the college entrance examination, when I forced myself to enter a good school. In the past four years, I have developed a complete knowledge system and methodology. It turns out that it is not only in high school that people can understand astronomy and geography. In college, I can still calculate trigonometric functions, solve higher-order equations, and memorize historical events. I can speak fluent English…and all this is due to a group of motivated classmates around me. Most of them are now elites in various industries in society. Your Uncle Wang is a big shot in the construction industry and has made great achievements. Aunt Zhang is also a hot figure in the financial industry… As the saying goes, they are a circle of powerful connections. When you enter society, you will understand that only by forcing yourself into a good school can you have the opportunity to travel with outstanding people. When you are in an environment where the people around you are excellent, you will naturally be pushed by a force to grow. This force is a powerful internal driving force that pursues the ultimate in everything and strives for excellence. It will spur you to keep moving forward. My child, your idol Han Han once said: \”How far a person can go depends on who he has with him; how good a person is depends on who guides him; how successful a person is depends on who he accompanies.\” \”In my opinion, the criterion for judging a good school does not lie in the magnificent and gorgeous buildings, nor in the new and complete facilities, but in the shaping of the human spirit by its atmosphere. Confucius said: If you enter a house with abalone, you will smell it for a long time without realizing its smell; if you enter a room with orchids, you will not smell its fragrance for a long time. When you are with hard-working people, you will naturally not relax and fall; when you are with proactive people, you willYou will become more and more optimistic; when you are with top people, you will also become outstanding. The influence of an excellent group is lifelong. Seeing your peers become invincible, you will self-reflect and awaken. A strong desire will arise in your heart. You also want to be like them, and thus become Stronger, better. Only when you get into a good school will you realize how boring eating, drinking and having fun you are passionate about are, and how interesting academic research can be. It turns out that the world is so big and there is so much to learn. When you jump out of the small, closed circle and enter a larger pool, you will discover another world. Children, the college entrance examination is approaching, please give yourself confidence. This is a war without gunpowder, and those who can survive are all warriors. Please be determined and push yourself, and you must try your best. Because in the end you will find that every question you answer correctly will make you a better version of yourself; every extra point you get is to meet a better life. When you finally force yourself into a good school, you will understand: The luckiest thing in life is to work with excellent people, and then use them to force you to become a better self.
