Three days after the Gaokao results came out, I've been wallowing in self-pity, seeking comfort, and wondering what to do next?
Because you've put in the effort but haven't gotten the results you wanted, leading to feelings of despair, that's perfectly normal.If someone gets a bad result without a corresponding psychological reaction, that's actually contrary to instinct and normal psychology.
The postgraduate entrance exam is a major milestone in many students' lives, involving countless hours of effort, working early and late for their dreams, taking the exam, and ultimately not getting the results they hoped for, which inevitably leads to disappointment and self-doubt.
However,A rational and mature person knows that on the path of life, it's about step by step confronting failure and gradually becoming more mature and strong.
In Ernest Hemingway's famous novel *The Old Man and the Sea*, the old man fought the sea and sharks for dozens of days in the ocean, ultimately only retrieving the skeleton of a fish. If a normal person felt that way, they would certainly be very frustrated; battling so long and finally achieving nothing. But,
In the old man's mind, he wasn't thinking that way. He defeated the sea, defeated the sharks, and more importantly, defeated himself, so he finally dreamed of a lion.
So don't be discouraged by failure; give yourself a few days to adjust your psychology and learn to warm your right hand with your left. Although 'chicken soup' reads may not change your personal life, they can at least encourage yourself during times of gloom,
What's next?
You can set a goal, which can be short-term, medium-term, or even long-term.
Now, the most important thing is to get out of the depressed feeling and achieve a sense of fullness. And to achieve a sense of fullness, you need a certain goal,Without a goal, you'll just wander aimlessly.
Combining your actual situation and future development path,Set a feasible goal,Whether to continue with postgraduate studies or do something else, it needs to be practical and realistic.
Once you have a goal and an idea, you won't feel that sense of loss; you'll reignite the flame of striving.
If you can't find your own goal and ideas temporarily, that's okay; the old saying goes, 'Give yourself a few days to adjust your psychology,' or ask your best friend for advice, or consult with seniors, ultimately you can always find the path you want to walk,
Poet Wang Guozhen once said, 'Either wash the flag with tears or wrap the flag around tears.' Open your heart, tell yourself that failure is nothing, there's courage to try again, as long as you can try again, there's still hope,You should know that,
The biggest bankruptcy in life is not failure, but despair.
Do you choose to lie down or stand up again?Choose for yourself!
