I don’t know if you’ve seen the show “The First Half of My Life.”

The heroine finally overturns herself and becomes an independent woman after experiencing family tragedy.



Plain life seems to be calm, but in fact it is killing your time, smoothing out your edges and personality.



The first half of my life was just like most people’s dull, even a little boring. I was an ignorant student in middle and high school. I spent several years in college devoted to LOL and DOTA, and had a stable job arranged by my parents in a state-owned enterprise after graduation.



It seems that I still realized something was wrong. In my junior year, I came up with the idea of taking the postgraduate entrance exam. Although I was advised by others to take the postgraduate entrance exam at the beginning, it suddenly occurred to me when I was preparing to take the postgraduate entrance exam. When I was a child, I had an ideal to be a programmer when I grew up. At that time, I didn’t know what a programmer was, but I knew that BAT looked great and it would be cool to work in it.



Thinking of this, I was very excited when I was still preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, because I had a chance to approach this ideal. As long as I was admitted as a postgraduate student in software engineering or computer, preferably in a famous university, the possibility of realizing this ideal would be greater. So I decided to choose the school and major, followed by the most difficult half a year of review time.



Finally I did it. In fact, from the moment when the goal was set, MY heart was very practical, because I knew I would do my best and would not give up halfway. The only thing left to do is to persist and get through every day. It was closer to the last day, and the final result was higher than imagined.



After I was admitted to graduate school, I was finally able to take my childhood dream as a goal. Thanks to my previous experience in the postgraduate entrance examination, I was naturally confident that my two years of accumulation and persistence were not in vain. With favorable timing and favorable location, my job hunting process went smoothly and even exceeded my expectation.



As incredible as it sounds, childhood ideals, stubborn persistence, and the baptism of time can bring about so much potential energy.



In fact, who doesn’t? Would you have changed, would you have made up your mind to do something great, would you have created your own wonderful things if you hadn’t been blinded by the ease of life?



The “first half of my life” doesn’t really mean half of my life. You can think of it as: not knowing what I’m living for.



If you have ever made up your mind to do something, no matter how it turned out, I think you will have no regrets.

If not, I hope you have a chance.
