In 2018, the number of people who participated in the postgraduate entrance examination was as high as 2.38 million. I don’t know how many of them will apply and fail to take the test, or try randomly, but by 2019, the number has exceeded 2.9 million.
I was not accepted by my first choice, but was envied by my comrades who had no education. I succeeded in the adjustment.
I thought that if I loved my major, Chinese language and literature, I would be very happy to learn. But the truth is, loving reading books and loving studying those books are not the same thing at all.
What is the use of Chinese language and literature?
Compared with science and engineering majors who can realize scientific research results, and economic majors directly participate in economic activities, my professional knowledge is teaching you: peace and happiness.
At my age, such a rationale obviously does not convince me, who is being compared to me.
I almost walked into depression. There was only one question that kept flooding my brain: what did I do, and what was the use?
What's the use of participating in bird watching?
You need to travel all over North America at your own expense, go to the coldest, hottest, saltiest, most dangerous places, find 755 species of birds, take a look at them, and take a photo, not even a group photo. Not eating well, sleeping well, and not playing at all. Even if you win the big year, there is no material reward, and even only a small spark in a very small circle.
What are they drawing?
Brad seems to be the most ineligible type of person to participate in the birding year. He is not like Kenny who can fully concentrate on participating in the competition, and he does not have the financial strength of Stu. The expenses of participating in the competition even put him in debt. .
The 36-year-old dead fat man, according to the chicken soup mass-produced in the era of self-media, shouldn't such a person change his life from "self-discipline, weight loss, and refusal of useless social interaction"?
And what about him? what are he doing? Bird watching? Is it possible to get a promotion and a salary increase, or to find a girlfriend who is fair-skinned and beautiful, with a big chest and a thin waist. (Of course, he ended up having a girlfriend)
This is a hobby that runs counter to a successful life, a utterly useless hobby. They knew from the beginning that they had never been brainwashed by MLM organizations, but they still fanatically believed in birding.
Is it a hobby that makes you happy? Does Faith Make You Happy? No, it's fanaticism, and there's a love enough to be addicted to.
In the 23 years that I have accomplished nothing, I have come to realize that the probability of success in the mundane sense is slim, and obsession not only makes people miserable, but also drives people crazy.
Of course, it's usually the obsessive people who succeed, who just risk being driven mad.
I'm really scared that at the end of the movie, Brad, Stu and Kenny, the three hardcore birdwatchers, are tied for first place, or Brad's counterattack is successful, which in my opinion is vulgar .
Kenny is a person with obsessions and is not active in sex, there must be something wrong with this man!
I don't know what you guys think, but this movie came at the right time for me.
Quick success and instant profit are four words written on my forehead.
Maybe I just lack a little love without distraction. Of course, it is best not to have obsessions.
