In the tide of the times, there is a group of young people who work hard just to gain a foothold on the social stage. They are the generation known as the "King of Volumes", with endless hard work and sweat, in exchange for the moment of landing. However, just when they thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, reality gave them a heavy blow - a "cliff-jumping" gap.
"Is this the result of all the effort we have paid?" Xiao Li asked confusedly, his eyes revealing deep disappointment.
His companion Xiao Wang, a comrade-in-arms who had been with him in the sea of questions, could only shake his head helplessly at this moment. "We thought that going ashore was the end, but we didn't expect that it was just another beginning. ”
They used to be school bullies in the eyes of everyone, and they were "other people's children" in the mouths of parents. They are at the top of their school, winning gold and silver in various competitions, and their future is expected to be high. However, when they really entered the society, they found that the cruelty of reality was far beyond imagination.
"I interviewed more than a dozen companies, and in the end I only got two offers, and the salary package was much lower than I expected. Xiao Li said, with a hint of bitterness in his voice.
"Me too, I'm even beginning to wonder what we're studying so hard for?" Xiao Wang echoed, his eyes flashing with unwillingness.
They used to think that with good education and good grades, they would be able to stand firmly in the torrent of society. Unexpectedly, the tide of reality is so turbulent, they are like washed sand, and there is nowhere to put them.
"You know what? I recently came across a phrase that says our generation is a generation of 'magnified expectations and compressed opportunities.'" Xiao Li said, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness.
"Yes, our parents wanted us to get ahead, but the opportunities were dwindling. We have to compete not only with our peers, but also with experienced seniors. Xiao Wang added, with a hint of heaviness in his tone.
They used to think that if they worked hard, they would be rewarded. But the reality tells them that hard work doesn't always lead to the desired results. They began to reflect and question whether their efforts were worth it.
"Perhaps, we should redefine the criteria for success. Xiao Li said thoughtfully, "Success is not only a material reward, but also a spiritual satisfaction." ”
"You're right. Xiao Wang nodded in agreement, "We should find our own value, not be bound by social standards." ”
They decided that instead of blindly chasing those seemingly glamorous goals, they wanted to find a path that really suited them. They began to experiment, they began to explore, they began to search for the answer that would satisfy their hearts.
In the process, they met many young people who had the same experience as them. They encouraged each other, supported each other, and together they forged their own path.
They are no longer grains of sand carried by the torrent of society, but have become the cusp of the wave that can lead the trend. With their own actions, they proved that the "cliff-jumping" drop is not the end, but the starting point to a higher peak.
Their stories inspire more and more young people to understand that there will always be ups and downs on the road of life. But as long as you keep persistent and loving, you will definitely be able to find your own bright future.
Xiao Li and Xiao Wang, as well as those young people who walked through the "cliff-jumping" gap with them, finally found their own stage. With their talents and efforts, they have created value for the society and added color to their lives.
Their stories tell us that there will always be difficulties and challenges on the road of life. But as long as we face it bravely and stick to our dreams, we will definitely be able to find our own bright future.
In this era of competition and challenges, we need more courage and perseverance to pursue our dreams and create our own wonderful. Together, let's bravely face the challenges of life and write our own stories in our own way.
