When can we rest?
You are awake.
But when you look around, you fall into confusion and silence.
The road in front of you is arranged by someone else, not the one that you choose for yourself.
We had been taught to cautiously take a step by step forward by our parents and others.
If the pace is too big, it is easy to hurt ourselves.
Being serious about everything, not dare to relax.
You do not like this type of life, seemingly endless life but do not know how to choose.
You are tired and want to have a rest.

During primary and secondary school, countless homework and questions had thrown at you.
You have been carefully following the rules, be a student who obeys the rules, always serious, going the way everyone has to go.
You don't know what the purpose of this, you just drift along.
Then in the university, it seems like you have a lot of freedom, but in fact, the shackles on you are not untied.
The heavy yoke is only transferred to your heart. You start to worry about your future.
You suddenly see the exciting outside world, realize that there are other types of life.
You find that there is life other than blindly following, step-by-step, and diligent.

There are really a lot of choices. You look at yourself at the mirror but found yourself very gaunt.
Later, you continue to study or start working.
At this time, some things are imminent.
You want to survive, you have to find a job, you have to write a thesis, you have to build good relations with the mentor, you have to face the crossroads of your life. Or maybe you have to feed the family.
You have to do your best to accomplish things that you don't know why, but still, have to be done.
Actually, you want to stop. But you can’t.
You are tired, want to do nothing, why you can’t decide for your life.
You sigh why life is so boring monotonous, can’t rest, can't slack off for a lifetime.
Why need to tighten the nerves, as serious as tightening the clockwork?
Why? For what?
You frown, puzzled, confused, and helpless.
What am I going to do?
Hence, this topic.

Do you know that there is another you in this world?
You may not know each other, and your looks may not necessarily resemble each other. But there must be such a person.
In the majority of the primary school and high school, he is the special one.
The individuality is distinct, always obvious in the crowd, when others busying doing their homework, he is always a free and easy teenager, even does not bother to copy others homework.
Many people will envy him, thinks that he is awesome.
He can rest anytime. When the class is too boring for him, he can lie on the table and sleep, he doesn't care. At night when you are asleep, he slipped to the internet Café, living a carefree life and relax, be a person who lives in the present.
Sometimes he will secretly hide in the toilet to smoke, when you pass by him, you can smell the light smoke. When you look at him, he smiled at you, this is the face you envy.
You may be contemptuous because his result is very poor, but you are jealous of his freedom.
Later the college entrance examination is over, everyone goes their separate ways, you no longer see him.
After a few days, when you are in the university classroom enjoying the air conditioning every day, listening to music in the library, struggling for the assignments, that man may be in a corner, exposed to the sun under the scorching heat, working hard, sweating while selling something, just to survive.
Do you think that person is happy, or do you think he has a good rest?
That person is not a fake person, you know that; there are a lot of such people in this world.
They are just right beside you and me, they are different from your life.

You feel that your life is step-by-step, you can not relax, but you are really tired.
But there will always be people who are more tired than you.
If you want to give up all this, no one will stop you, but I advise you to think, how many people regret the unruly choice, want to live your life now.
You want to have a rest, you can do it anytime.
In university, you can watch a movie, get a good night's sleep, talk to your girlfriend, or eat some food and travel.
After start working, although most of the time is suffering, but this is life, everyone is suffering.
Make a few friends, then meet a woman, you fall in love, form a family, and then give birth to the world's most lovely baby.
Not everyone is fit for a bohemian life.
It's not necessarily a good thing to stop.
Don't suppress yourself, find some other hobbies, and get to know some interesting people. There is no way to relax without trying to be serious.
A man has to fulfill himself.
Everyone will be tired, please do not indulge.
Occasionally sit up and catch your breath, don't lie down, and don’t forget to wake up.
No matter how wonderful the outside world is, don't give your destiny away so easily.
