There are two ways make you better than other people at studying or any other rat race. The first one is so called competition. You should know both yourself and other competitors. You should examine exactly what you can do and what you cannot do. You should spy on what other people is doing, especially what they are doing more than you. Then all you need to do is just do what they do and even more than they do. The second way is to enjoy. Just throw yourself into the work and enjoy the process. You don't need to care about other people, but when you feel like it, you can even help them. The most important thing is that you should not worry about the ramification. Thinking about the outcome makes you raise conscious about other people, makes you fall into endless rat race again. Just imagine that you have a blue ocean which never run out of, and enjoy what you are studying, trying to connect it with your life. Then you will find yourself stand on top of a mountain where no one can reach.
Which way would you chose? It's really your call. The ball is in your court. Does the second way looks a little bit more easier? Well, I'm not sure. Maybe, if you really can find the blue ocean in yourself.

I definitely prefer the second way, but I think it's really hard to do, especially in rat race, even though I always try to do so. It is because trying to enjoy something doesn't always mean that I can really enjoy it. Nowadays, it feels like rather a kind of torture when I study something that I'm not interested in at all. Do you have any good tip to go for the second way?
ReplyDeleteWell, the first step would be stop caring about the outcome too much.^^
ReplyDeleteI've done the second one for most of my life, and it's worked very well for me :)
