I received Wonder’s phone message the day before yesterday, which said about her disappointment on herself. Before starting to work, she made a perfect plan for her continuing study. However, nearly a month had passed and she found out the truth that she couldn’t peace to study. She asked me about my status. I told her there was no need to worry about her present state, because I used to experience what she now suffers. Without struggling, the flowers would never come out.
Of course, we shouldn’t let the work occupy all our time. Although work plays an important role in our life, working is not all in our future. We still have dreams and we will never give up the life style in which we wish to live. Whereas, as a social individual, everyone has to earn his bread and win the basic allowance. We are supposed to consider work as a way to survive but not as the perpetual thing. She said that all her workmates regard their work as the only thing in their life. So she felt confused somehow because of her out of the colony. She is afraid to be too far away from her dream and her pursue some time later. Neither two leave are of the same. Their life styles are not exactly what we want. We still have dreams in the inner heart, so we must spare time to study for the further education.
Being a scholar on campus and doing research for the whole life is the only object for us, so we must calm down and live a different life from others. That is the only way to make the dream come true. In the very beginning, I was also very worried about my little time of study. After I got familiar with my work, my free time seems to be more than before. I gradually study heart and soul. So maybe Wonder also need time to agree to the new environment. These days I have been occupied by my work. While having chance, I would do my best to read more about my major. Every day we spend eight hours on working, more or less than seven hours on sleeping. Then we still have two or three hours at least to study. So this is the only time belonging to us.
I am always active and energetic doing my work or studying. So I’m not afraid to forget my dream or get far away from it. It is a hard time for us and we should prepare well for everything in the long and unpredictable journey. If we could reach the destination without great effort and hard time, the success would be invaluable. If we pay great pain in it and reach the end, all the sufferings during the journal will become the reason of our pride. Therefore, we shouldn’t complain about the hard experience and the torture. When we stand still in the destination, we can talk about our new situation with big smile, instead of bemoaning the passing youth and the dream far away.
