The author unhurriedly tells you every piece of advice. He is not asking you to do something, but letting you choose what to do. I am a second-year junior high school student. The second-year junior high school stage is really a watershed in the three years of junior high school. As our teacher said, it is a link between the past and the next, and it is also the period that can best test the true level. And I am just an ordinary student, everything is ordinary, my grades are ordinary, my appearance is ordinary, my family is ordinary, everything is so ordinary, I am always afraid of becoming a worthless person. I have no goals. Of course, this book did give me some questions that I might not normally think about, and then it induced me to think about these questions. I gradually became clearer, my mind became clearer, and my purpose became clear. Gradually, my life had a plan, and I no longer did things aimlessly. As a student, I want to get into an ideal high school and an ideal university. I know nothing about the future, but I always believe that tomorrow will be better. We must learn to be grateful. May we all become the best people we can be.
Calm and gentle, it's really a good article
Classic, meaningful
It is indeed a good book to set a benchmark for young people.
Don't violate nature and don't pay too much attention to your negative emotions. When you shift your attention to other things, you will forget about sadness and melancholy. It's a good book, highly recommended👍👍
I am a teenager who cannot read. Thank you for your letter. I read it too seriously! I don't think it's long either. It's just that I read too seriously! Now that I have some awareness, I want to put everything down in my free time and leave a serious heart to "read".

This book is great. The sooner you read it, the better.
1. Laziness is the root of all evils, and laziness means taking the path with the lowest resistance. (Everything is still and cannot move without applying force. The force applied must be greater than the inertia of the still object to make it move. To break the custom, you should use the strength of one or two people to resist the inertia of thousands of people, so you must have the power of thunder) 2. You must be confident and have strong courage. Autosuggestion method, according to this method, if a person has any problem, as long as he always concentrates on thinking that he must be good, and only thinks about the good every day, never the bad, he will soon be cured. 3. Have the courage to face reality without blaming the environment. You should seek truth from facts, accept the current facts and cope with them, and do not imagine how you can show your talents in another environment. 4. Emotion and reason. People act based on emotion rather than relying on reason. Reason only accounts for a very small part. It is wrong to always emphasize reason. Reason is the conclusion after doing something and not the motivation. 5. Get rid of. If you hate something, stay away from it. Don't hate it and get close to it at the same time. This way you don't suffer and whoever suffers suffers. 6. When ordinary people encounter a conflict between their will and reality, most of them let reality conquer their will and go down the path of pessimism and boredom, thinking that if everything is unsatisfactory, what is the meaning of life? Therefore, negative solutions such as degeneration, suicide, and escaping have taken advantage of the situation. However, this negative outlook on life is not the best way to resolve the conflict between will and reality. Because we humans are not born to be cowards, and this negative outlook on life, which is willing to let reality conquer the will, is a sign of extreme cowardice. 7. Life is the most complicated and mysterious, and even the words "sadness" and "happiness" are not enough to describe it all. Fools and clumsy people pass by in confusion, but they feel mediocre and blessed. People with profound thinking and wisdom will inevitably suffer more than happiness. Extreme pessimism can never come from the end of the world. Suicide is the end of the world and the end of myself. But there is no other way besides suicide. The most common way is to never die without ending yourself. This road has two branches. A kind of person knows that the world is full of sorrows and life will eventually end, but strives to be happy in life and looks at the world like a game with a humorous eye. This is the most cynical thing. In addition, there are also some people who are disappointed with the impermanence of happiness in this world and are suffering from birth, old age, illness and death, so they escape into Buddhism and practice for the future. This is the ultimate escape from this world. Most of Su Manshu's deeds are still in the memory of ordinary people. He wanted to escape from the world but finally ended up being cynical. Both cynics and escapees can only defeat the world but not themselves. If you can't be immortal, you can't rely on others. The ties have not been broken, but the sorrows and sorrows of the world will inevitably come with them. Therefore, cynicism and escaping from the world, as far as people are concerned, are immoral; as far as people are concerned, they are not thorough. All in all, suicide is the most straightforward thing to do. 8. Although we must be determined, we must also measure our virtues and abilities. Rousseau has a very insightful saying in his famous educational work "Emile", which basically means that happiness in life starts from the balance of desire and ability. A person should learn from an early age to have desires within the scope of his or her abilities, to want to do what he or she can do, and to do what he or she wants to do. These words come from Rousseau, who is deeply romantic. They are particularly worthy of our recall. Rousseau himself sometimes had wild imaginations and suffered a lot as a result. These words are really based on experience. Many frustrations and many failures arise from wanting to do things that one cannot do, or from being unable to do what one wants to do. 9. Go towards the path of greatest resistance. Although many people live in a "despicable consciousness" every day, they can never express "masculine protest". They only blame others and others, even if they don't make progress, they hope that others will follow their lead and are full of jealousy when they see others making progress. This kind of person has gone from knowing shame to having no shame, and is destined to fall to the eighteen levels of hell and never be reincarnated. 10. None of the three unhealthy feelings mentioned above are absolutely inevitable. If you can accept the facts, have the courage to take responsibility for yourself, and do your best regardless of success or failure, then the feeling of oppression will not occur. Everyone needs sympathy. If everyone is willing to use a little sympathy to deal with the people around him, then everyone will have the joy of living in groups and loneliness will not occur. Life is born with a need for many activities, where energy can be vented, where the soul has sustenance, and interests can flow everywhere. Then life will be enriched and the feeling of emptiness will not occur. These things are not difficult to do. The reason why most young people cannot do it is because they lack self-confidence, lack courage, and are unwilling to work hard. 12. Pay attention to aesthetic education. Let yourself have a pair of eyes that discover beauty, so that you will not be trapped in one corner.
Those 7 days were very v
As for the electric car v, how many times does someone think VB is not cool?
Do not talk about efficiency when doing things, but be practical and carefully crafted works. If you succeed, you will be proud of it. If you fail, you will at least cherish the experience. Believe that hard work will bring results, if you don't work hard, there will be nothing👍
This book is very good, I like it very much.
