Chasing the Wind and Chasing the Moon, Don't Stay (Youth Observation)

2025-07-22   

I still remember that summer more than 10 years ago - I took the admission letter from the postman, took the train with my parents to report to university, put away my luggage, waved goodbye, and turned around to face the college life. That was an important summer in my life, and many changes began from there. The results of this year's college entrance examination admission have gradually been released, with admission letters flying to thousands of households. On social media, some students share the joy of achieving success in the imperial examination, while others feel disappointed and seek advice on changing majors. In fact, whether one is proud or frustrated, the college entrance examination is not the end of striving, but the starting point of a new life. Standing at the entrance of the university, light loaded and ready to start again, there are still more scenery ahead. Starting anew requires the courage to 'reset' and the resilience to face setbacks. Life will not always go smoothly just because of a successful exam, nor will it fall to the bottom just because of a failed exam. Correctly dealing with temporary successes, failures, gains, and losses, pursuing excellence without nurturing respect, and overcoming setbacks without short aspirations are the "required courses" on the path of growth. Vibrant youth is not defined by scores. Perhaps he may not have been able to enter his current desired university or major, but there are still many possibilities in the future - physicist Xue Qikun, who took the postgraduate entrance examination three times before successfully "landing", and his firm belief helped him overcome setbacks; Writer Yu Hua once failed the college entrance examination, but later changed his fate through literature; Yang Yongxiu, a national model worker, also failed the college entrance examination. After repeating for a year, he entered a vocational school to study numerical control and became a technical expert along the way... If the current situation is not satisfactory, it is worth looking forward, as there is still a long way to go; You can also look outside, there is more than one road, every track may lead to a shining life. As the founder of Yushu Technology, Wang Xingxing, advised college entrance examination candidates: "Please don't give up on trying to find what you like and are good at, find new directions, and make sure to put them into practice." Starting anew means "chasing the wind and chasing the moon without stopping," and making persistent efforts. Entering university, facing new learning and lifestyle, don't stop striving. Listen to the story of a senior who just graduated this year: at the undergraduate graduation ceremony of Tsinghua University, the representative of the graduating class, Dang Jie, recalled that in her first major course, other classmates were talking confidently in the "flipped classroom", but she didn't know where to start. She faced difficulties head-on and received help from her teachers and friends, which helped her adapt to the challenging learning environment; At the graduation ceremony of Peking University, Jiang Changyan, a representative of graduates from mountainous areas, shared that after stepping out of the mountains, he joined the army and defended the motherland's maritime borders at the university. Upon returning to school, he also participated in many volunteer services and found his own path through rich practice. The first time traveling, the first time choosing courses, the first time having roommates, the first internship... Many life experiences start from college. Learning knows no bounds, from the "track" arranged by others to the "wilderness" full of choices, from listening to lectures step by step to exploring the unknown independently, from having standard solutions to "correct answers everywhere". The "fresh people" in university need to adjust and adapt as soon as possible, take steady steps, and start again. Starting anew is actually a common state in life. Not only the college entrance examination, but there are also many turning points in the canyon: it may be an important competition in the future, it may be going to a new school for further studies, it may be going to a new job position, the tension before the start, the anxiety when waiting for the results, the calmness after the dust settles, you and I will experience it again. In fact, these turning points often contain new opportunities. By experiencing the psychological resilience of being neither swayed by favor nor disgrace, maintaining an unyielding and enterprising spirit, and keeping an optimistic and positive attitude, one will have more confidence and positivity when starting again, and embrace better scenery. Graduation, further education, and employment... For many young people, this summer is a new starting point in their lives. Starting from here again, the road ahead is long and full of miracles.
