乐生活Today is September 18, my 24th birthday.
Suddenly I feel a little older, because I have heard that men’s abilities will decline after 25 years. Although I don’t have this sign now, I’m really beginning to feel anxious. Is that the trouble of growing up?
I was an over-age child from childhood. I was the oldest child in my class since primary school. If it was a boy, the children born in the second half of the year would go to school every other year. They would not be seven years old. They would go to school when they were six years old. I still remember that my mother asked me if you wanted to go to school. I said that I didn’t want to go to school. That was the only time my mother promised me that easily. Later, I learned that if I want to go to school early, I need to change my birthday, which is time-consuming and money-consuming.
However, as an overage child, in fact, there are many advantages. For example, my primary school, junior high school, senior high school has always been the highest in the class, very understanding, because I am basically longer than all the students a year to half a year. So because of these advantages, I was a very confident child from childhood, and had not been bullied, because all of them went to ordinary middle school, so the results were good. The family also has a lot of money. I have never been hungry anyway. I think my material requirements are not very high, or even relatively low.
In this way, under the supervision of my parents, I was well protected, got the ideal score and went to a good double-class university. Originally an over-age child, others read four years of professional, my professional needs five years, but I was not anxious at that time. I comforted myself that they could serve as a lesson for me and that we could move forward on their footprints.
I don’t know if you have seen the episode of Doraemon A. When you heard that Daxiong would suffer a catastrophe, Doraemon took out an instrument and simulated a Daxiong five seconds later. My classmates are like the simulated Daxiong. Their every move, their future choices can be for my reference. Every time I think about it, it is totally acceptable. After all, there is only one year gap.
My real anxiety comes from the failure of the postgraduate entrance examination five years later. I was confident to keep a one-year development distance with my classmates. It was only two or three years later that I became really frustrated. But the past is gone, and there is no special regret. If it hadn’t been for the failure of the postgraduate entrance examination, of course, I would not have realized that it would have been a wonderful thing to be called upon to go abroad.
It’s much better to say these feelings. After all, I’m also a very optimistic person. I hope that I will be less anxious and succeed in the future.
