New Life
It seems that I am not very lucky these days. A lot of things, studies, work…except of love. No wonder people say if a person loses in gambling, he will succeed in love. But unfortunately, I don’t like it very much. For me, the entrepreneur is always most important. So these days I am gloomy, and I even lose heart to study. I kept watching movies, trying to avoid the unhappiness. But one day, one of my teachers referred Deng Xiaoping in one class, and that really inspires me.
He said Deng’s diplomatic discipline was “to keep in low profile and do contribution”, the Chinese translation was “韬光养晦”. I was impressed deeply. Although it was not the first time for me of hearing the Chinese version, I realized I had never understood it completely. “low profile” is difficult for me, because everyday and every moment I am always active. Many people think it is an advantage of me, but I don’t think so. It is the route of my failure. I am proud of my family, my studies, and my contribution, and the critical thing is that I am always in high pitch. I want everyone to know me as a successful girl. In other word, I am not modest at all. Besides, I refuse to learn from others who in my mind are not better than me. To keep in low profile makes me think of ducks which are swim peacefully on the surface of water but their feet keep moving to go forward under the water. What a duck!In one word ,from now on, learn from ducks!
