The difference between high school and university
During my high school period, I was always looking forward to experiencing a new life in the university. I always felt tight and tense towards my high school life because there was a lot of homework for each subject everyday. The schedule was full at any time, and it's impossible to take a break especially in my 12th grade so I had no chance to do something I like. Now finally I can step out from my “old life”, and start enjoying my new life in the university. However, life in the university is not quite the same as I imagined. It is true that nowadays I am able to get a flexible schedule, but at the same time, it requires me to be self-disciplined. Most people say it is easy to be self-disciplined, howeve r, I don’t really agree with them. In high school, the high school teachers will arrange your schedule; therefore, you did not have to worry about it. but now you have to arrange it by yourself, and this is not a piece of cake! If your personality is kind of sloppy, you will easily mess up your life in the university, which may lead you to be a loser at the end of your university life. I suggest that we should think about our “new life” seriously. There is no free lunch in this world! So I think this is the greatest difference between high school and university.
How to make Success
Today I read a book about success In the book different people have different views on success. Some sold that making a great deal of money means success. Others think that holding an important post in the government or company means success. Still others believe that having a high academic title at a famous university or a research institute means success.
In my opinions, success means brilliant achievement in our work. In other words, no matter what we do, making outstanding contributions to the development of our country and is success.
To achieve success, I think, first of all, we must have a clear long-term goal in our life. Besides, we also need have short term goals in different periods of life. As we know, it is these short term goals which make our long-term goal possible. Second, we should be both perseverant and hardworking. Whatever we do, there are always two possibilities: success or failure. We should never lose heart when we come across difficulties or when we are confronted with failure. Instead, we should learn from our experience, build up our confidence and work even harder and smarter towards our purpose. Third, we should follow the examples of those who are successful and learn from them. Finally, we should try to get along well with our classmates and colleagues. We should care for each other and help each other in our study, our work and our life, because team work is of great importance in the realization of our dream.
If we can follow these principles, we can get success and make a difference in our life.
