I went to Beijing to look for A Ning the other day. Before that, I hadn't seen her for nearly two years.

We met at the subway station. I almost didn't recognize her when she appeared.

In my imagination, A Ning's painting style should be wearing a T-shirt cowboy and riding a white canvas, which looks fresh and simple.

What appeared in front of my eyes was a tall woman with a professional suit and exquisite makeup, and a pair of high heels of at least 5 cm.

I must have opened it in the wrong way. I secretly doubted for a long time.

Later I learned that Ginny had just finished class, not as a student, but as a teacher.

New Oriental GRE teacher in his early twenties.

After living with A Ning for a day, I realized that what she usually calls "busy" is no exaggeration.

New Oriental English has several campuses in Beijing, and she travels almost half of Beijing by subway every day. In order to save the rent, she lives in a few places outside the ring. She has to go out before 6 o'clock in the morning, just to miss the rush hour. She hardly enters the house before 10 in the evening.

She said that she once missed her stop by subway because she was too tired. She said she was going downstairs to vomit pancake fruit. She said she hadn't been home for a long time, because other people's holidays happened to be her busiest time. ...

I asked her, "You are already excellent. Why do you have to fight like this? "

"This is not enough. You see, I want to study abroad in the future, and I don't want to use my parents' money. I have to struggle for a few years to save a capital! "A Ning told me about her plan for a long time, and when she was so serious, she was really moved.

This is what A Ning told me.

Daniel was my roommate in college. As the name implies, she is the kind of girl whose beauty is restricted by her weight.

After she successfully lost weight from 130 kg to 104 kg in her junior year, I believed the saying that "losing weight really has the effect of cosmetic surgery" and "university is a cosmetic hospital".

Daniel, who once took "how to lose weight if you don't have enough to eat" as his mantra, I think I know the reason for losing weight crazily.

Because of a boy who has a crush on me in sophomore year.

As the saying goes, it is nonsense to put a veil on Daniel. At the very least, this proverb must add the premise of "beauty".

Yes, before losing weight successfully, Daniel was not beautiful, to put it mildly, beautiful but not obvious. Although she has paid a lot to chase that boy, she has changed a lot.

Daniel, who likes to sleep late, can get up early every day to buy his favorite soybean milk and hand-grabbed cakes for that boy and send them downstairs; Daniel, who advocates "life lies in stillness", can go to a hospital far from school to buy medicine when he is sick. ...

But the boy was not moved by her, on the contrary, he caught up with a fair-skinned and beautiful girlfriend.

Yes, Daniel was hit. She didn't even have the courage to question the boy because she knew herself. That girl really threw herself out of several streets.

So Daniel began to lose weight.

At first, I was eager for success and took diet pills, but I couldn't stand up until I collapsed, but that didn't stop Daniel from losing weight. Later, Daniel only ate lunch once a day, and it was still the kind with extremely low calories. I was depressed for a while, and I didn't have any friends to accompany me.

Daniel has added fruit to his diet since he fainted from hypoglycemia. So when I first saw someone eating fruit and weighing it to grams, I was completely confused in the wind.

Besides, Daniel also exercises. Can you imagine a person who once ran 800 meters and had to write a sick note, insisting on running in the playground for more than an hour every day?

Anyway, I've never seen any girl fight so hard to lose weight.

People in our dormitory always hold the mentality that Daniel can't hold on, but she turns into a goddess inadvertently.

The girls in the class are envious of her various experiences in slimming, but I know how difficult this achievement is. Daniel is more confident and has more suitors around him, although the boys still haven't come back. But the world does treat her with a gentle face.

I try to lose weight and become beautiful, so that when I fall in love, I can have the capital to choose each other, instead of waiting to be chosen and being grateful.

This is what Daniel told me.

After graduate school started, Huang Er and I were assigned to a dormitory.

Her name has long impressed me, and she is the first in this major.

So I was lucky enough to enter the so-called top student dormitory. ...

For me, top student dormitory = top student dormitory ≠ are all top student dormitories, at least I am not a top student.

The only scholarship of 8,000 yuan for the whole major was taken away by Huang Er.

I think I'm a graduate student now, so I can't play with my mobile phone in class like in college, so I started attending classes for the first time.

Huang Er is more serious. Her notes are totally templates. The teacher gave an example, let's listen to it, but Huang Er will summarize it briefly and copy it into the notebook with pens of different colors.

In the library, most of the books I borrowed were novels, but Huang Er borrowed professional reference books.

What is even more exaggerated is that our re-examination book is a doctoral thesis, and dozens of books are listed in the bibliography alone. This obscure book is hard to read, and Huang Er has read more than half of the bibliography!

To what extent do you have to read reference books? I can't understand the world of top students at all.

"I didn't understand at first, and my back was going to cry. However, if you don't understand it once, just watch it twice. If you don't understand it twice, read it three times. It will be interesting to watch more. "

Me: "..."

It is because he has read a lot of works that Huang Er can always discuss with the teacher in class, which is completely contrary to our incomprehension. Over time, as a proud disciple, the teacher will always take her to various seminars to meet more and more professionals.

When it comes to expertise, Huang Er is full of light! At that time, I thought, if the 8000 scholarship is not given to her, is there any other candidate?

Huang Er, are you addicted to reading?

"toxic."

I haven't asked such a naive question since I was beaten to vomiting blood by her short words!

I work so hard because I am used to this kind of Excellence. If I don't fall behind among a group of outstanding people, I must work harder.

You have to be better to meet more excellent like-minded people.

This is what Huang Er told me.

Cousin once went to a company for an interview and was brushed. The reason is shameless. Only she is a girl among the finalists.

The interviewer seems to believe from the bottom of his heart that a girl can't do a boy's job, even without giving her a chance, he sent her cousin away directly.

Later, my cousin went to another company, and in less than two years, she climbed to the position of department manager step by step. There are always people in the whole company who say that my cousin is so sophisticated and has such a hard background.

But since everyone saw that my cousin always worked late with the staff, the plan she handed in was always impeccable, but she could carry things to the construction site like a boy in high heels, and no one talked about anything anymore.

Unfortunately, my cousin's company is talking about cooperation with a company that didn't want her in the first place. In a hurry, my cousin smiled and talked about the experience of being rejected at the beginning, and the person in charge of the other company instantly showed great regret.

"Whether it is true or not, at that moment, you don't know how happy I am!" When my cousin said this, she exuded an extremely powerful gas field from the inside out.

It doesn't matter if you don't want me. Some people want me. One day I will use my strength to prove that you think I am your loss. I work so hard because I don't want to be rejected because of the unchanging reason that "you are a girl".

My cousin told me this.

There are always some people around you who are obviously excellent enough, but they are still trying their best to make people feel horrible.

There are always some people who cry every day that I can't waste any more time, but they are always reluctant to let themselves suffer.

The most terrible thing in the world is that people who are better than you work harder than you.

In fact, it is not difficult to find that people who work hard are often already excellent. Because they are used to the rhythm and excellent state of this kind of effort.

Just like those who shout slogans, they are often the least willing to wronged themselves, because they are used to a comfortable life and comfortable enjoyment, and they don't think it is necessary to take the first step of change.

I work so hard because I want to make my talents worthy of my dreams;

I have worked hard to have a close love;

I work so hard to meet more and better people;

I worked so hard just to stop being rejected casually.

If I can, I also want to be the kind of girl who works hard to the extreme, like a sunflower that grows tenaciously without fear of wind and rain, with a pious body rooted in the earth forever and a young face facing the sun forever.
