This world frantically glorifies victory and success, as if the one who wins the laurels is the defender of success, while the one who loses is a failure.

However, success is limited. No matter how hard you work or how desperately you strive, your province can have only 100 people admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University. But are these 100 people the ones who build society? The answer is precisely the opposite. The mainstream should not glorify victory after gaining benefits, but should instead promote accepting failure after making an effort. Because that is what makes up, builds, and becomes the “majority” of the entire world.
Perhaps there should never have been such a thing as “success” in this world.
There is no need to belittle yourself, because this is who you are now, and you absolutely will not remain this way. Your future has only just begun, and everything is in your hands. There is no such thing as “life entering hard mode”; all there is to do is find your own direction and then stride forward.
