naturally
Youth is never just an age number

Long-lasting temperament and state of mind
If you are suffering from the troubles of youth
Look at these words,
Can it make you sober up instantly?

If you're hesitating......
Lu Xun
May the young people of China get rid of the cold air, just go upward, and do not have to listen to the words of the self-defeating people. Those who can do things do things, and those who can speak up can speak up. If there is a point of heat, a point of light, it will make it like a firefly, or it can shine a little light in the dark, and there is no need to wait for the torch.
Mao dun
You are a young man, and you should have a little "splashing" spirit. I'm not afraid to try anything, I don't try it right, I'm not afraid to throw it away and come back. Friend, it is in this pursuit and pursuit, fighting and fighting, that you have the manifestation of your most precious vitality.
If you're worried about studying......
Qian Liqun
The biggest problem of today's young people is that they want to take advantage of all the good things and refuse to lose everything. If you want to succeed in your studies and research, you must have a lot of dedication, time, energy, physical strength, and mental power, and you must sacrifice less, play less or even sleep less, and dress up less. The more time you spend dressing up, the less time you spend reading, and that's a very simple truth.
You have to be determined, no matter what happens around you, no matter what the people in the dormitory are, everyone has their own ambitions, you have to know in your own heart - I just have to lay a solid foundation.
If you're still struggling with choosing a career......
Marx
We should seriously consider whether the chosen profession really inspires us, whether our hearts agree, whether we are inspired by a misconception, and how can we recognize this without identifying the source of the inspiration itself?
Our mission is by no means to seek a profession that can be boasted of the most, because it is not the kind of profession that allows us to stay in it for a long time without getting bored, never letting up, never feeling depressed, on the contrary, we will soon feel that our desires have not been met, our ideals have not been realized, and we will complain.
The main guideline that we should follow when choosing a profession is the happiness of humanity and the perfection of ourselves. It should not be assumed that these two interests are hostile and conflicting, that one must destroy the other;
If you are still confused about the future......
Lin Yutang
Many young people, after having decided on something, are hesitant to do it, and there are many people who are doing work every day that does not match their interests, and they always say that their fate is not good, and they are waiting for an opportunity to do something appropriate.
But they just talk about it, but they don't do it, and if a person has such inertia, what is the difference between it and suicide?
Ordinary young people take things too easily and refuse to concentrate all their energy and keep working hard.
If you care a lot about what other people think......
Shi Xiaosheng
and regard the suspicions of others as ghost fires,
Be bold and go your night path.
