The first anniversary of becoming a social person

Today, May 28, 2021 is the first anniversary of my official entry into society. In fact, before graduating from college, I worked in many short-term jobs in different industries, so I consider myself to have a lot of work experience. However, graduating from college and entering the society and starting a formal job is a new chapter in life, and I have never been ready to usher in this stage. So in the beginning I was scared, resisted, confused...I was afraid that I would finally grow up to be an adult and take on the burdens of life and financial pressures to face reality; I was confused and vague about the future , I don't know exactly what I want, and I'm also worried that I can't find a good job and make a lot of money. Too many worries and panics in my heart are causing me stress. But as long as you are still alive, everyone has to walk the road of life again, and you cannot escape. So this year, with these negative emotions, I finally embarked on the only road in life, and I continued to move forward while exploring in the dark.

A year is actually not a long time, but it is still an experience after all. Let’s talk about what I have learned/understood and the changes I have noticed this year. From the beginning of confusion and helplessness, now I feel like I have gradually found a little direction and goal. Although this goal and direction are still very vague and difficult to see, at least it is starting to appear. This is a good phenomenon, right? Because life without direction is really terrible, I am very afraid that I will spend my life in a hurry and accomplish nothing. If you have a goal, you will at least have the motivation to pursue it, and there is a reason to work hard. This also makes me happy, because since I was a child, I felt that I really didn't really put effort into chasing anything. It shouldn't be too late for me to start wanting to be a hard worker now, right?

The second thing I see myself improving is that I begin to have a sense of time. I'm not referring to the concept of time that is not punctual and late (I've always been punctual), but time management. I have not been a good time manager since I was a child. Now because of the high pressure and busy stressful work environment, I have to start learning to organize my time well. Only then did I realize that my previous self had wasted so much time in vain, and the time seemed to be gone forever. Although I am still not good enough in time management to be an efficient person, I am glad I realized this early because I see many people around me, whether they are the same age or older than me People don't necessarily realize it. Right now I have too much to do and not enough time. So I should improve my time management skills.

The third point I have gained during this period is the attitude and spirit of learning. It was only at this age that I realized the importance of learning. It turned out that it was necessary to live until we were old, because if we didn’t learn, we would regress and we would be eliminated. With the spirit of learning, of course, the attitude of learning is also very important. The attitude of learning can be said to be the key to determining the results of learning. Because learning is not a matter of talking, it requires firm execution and accumulation of time to see results. Therefore, a strong thirst for knowledge is essential if you want to learn something. If I had realized this earlier when I was in school, I might have been the best kid.

Well, this one-year anniversary article will be written here, and I will record my changes every once in a while. Years later, I would also like to see how I have come little by little over the years. Whether we like it or not, we can never escape growing up. It's just that how to become a better and more perfect self on the road of growth is still a knowledge that needs constant discussion and understanding. No matter what the future changes, I hope that I can always keep my original intention and always be the kind and lovely me.
