Fighting till the end

达尔文假设生命是战场，就让我坚硬不投降

把伤痕装满手掌，把鼓声装满心脏，把歌声装满肺活量

Above is a part of the lyrics 放肆 by Mayday. The words above are really inspiring. If life is a battle, then let me be strong and never surrender. Filling up the palms with bruises, filling up the heart with drumbeat, filling up my lung with singing voice!

I have a friend who is trying to improve herself in order to be a better one. She has been stressed once she got into University; she realized that she is not really good enough. However, this year, the tension on her has been greatly increased, because the awareness of lagging behind has been magnified once after a new intake of a bunch of juniors. She found the pressure quite overwhelming and suffered for dealing with the stress.

Honestly, I am really glad to have such a friend who always works hard for self-improvement. This kind of attitude which many people don’t possess is really appreciable and valuable. With this kind of attitude, I believe she will do a great job in future unless she surrenders halfway and ceases to move on boldly. What a great reason to feel down! It is good to feel that you yourself are not good enough; it is always healthy to compare yourself with the people who are better and more remarkable than you. For that thought, you will try to improve unceasingly.  If you don’t keep on improving, your life will be like a stagnant milo without constantly stirring (unpleasant to drink).

However, she needs to know that stress comes once you get involved into a healthy competition due to comparison of yourself with better course mates. It may be the time for her to learn how to deal with the stress and how to cope with it for there are many different pressures oncoming when we work in the society. Those are much more challenging and stressful. It is smart for learning how to cope with the pressure in advance before we start to work in the harsh society of reality. In order to have a great improvement, one must be confident and trying to please himself in the process of striving for improvement. By the pleasure and the feeling of being successful, we are able to be charged and motivated.  

I realized that the worst thing in life isn’t failure. Instead, it is actually the give-up after the failure, the surrender for the challenges and the fear for the next coming failure. Nick Vujicic, a man without limbs inspired millions of people lives ordinarily like ordinary people without physical limitations. If he gave up many years ago, many people would lose the opportunity to meet such a ridiculously blessed person in the world. He never gave up and now he shines and warms his neighbors. On the other hand, a man without fighting spirit and motivation becomes paralyzed or inefficient and unproductive, as they give up improving and cease to be motivated. What I would like to say is that we must keep moving on no matter what hold us from doing so as we never know what amazing things will occur in the next step that we are about to make.
