Have you ever heard the term “involution” or “rat race” which resembles “内卷” in Chinese? Have you ever been called “the king of involution” which is literally “卷王” in Chinese when you go out to the library or study hall as routine？
explain
The term “involution” is increasingly heard nowadays as an explanation of how competition in work and life has become harder and fiercer. What used to be easy to get now demands increasingly more effort as a result of inadequate resources and the growing human desires. So how could we stop the useless involution and eventually accomplish our task? Here are three measures I selected elaborately for you.
measures
For starters, find a new path that suits you. While resources become limited, what can’t be limited is our unique way of thinking, so finding a suitable path is the essence of our further improvement.
Secondly, don’t be afraid of making mistakes. “To err is human, to forgive, divine”, that’s natural to gain wisdom from the practice.
Finally, devote yourself fully to the here and now. That’s doesn’t matter what progress others have made, what success they have achieved. At this moment, it’s more important to think wisely and choose shrewdly than work hard blindly.
END
The measures might not solve problems instantly, but we know it’s the tough parts that you’re able to find your powerful self.
So, in the very end, Let's work on stopping meaningless involution.
