It is time to wake up
Hot 5
The depression has been haunting me for more than half a month. As a matter of fact, I have been trying to live a life free of certain responsibilities and those annoying, firm, monotonous disciplines in order to behave beyond the constraints. I kept telling myself that I needed a good rest which allows me to behave at my will. What I want is to experience "the lightness of being". With that unwise and hasty thought bore in my mind, I declined a golden opportunity offering me to attend the 2016 GIC (Global Innovator Conference) held in Beijing and serve as an assistant interpreter. Instead, I idled my precious time away.
The finishing of the significant certification test brought me an overwhelming relief that I started to reward myself even though I have had no idea about whether I pass it or not. I put aside the previous goal and then smelled the flowers of life. It was too late as I realized that things had been enough. I found myself standing pitifully at the crossroads of life hesitating about which path to take. I was lost and I was overwhelmed with the feeling of disorientation which I hate. What do I really want? What do I need to do in the next period? I have been captivated by the fabricated happiness in front of me that I totally forgot my dream and final goals. It suddenly occurred to me that how stupid and ridiculous I was before. If I can stay away from those responsibilities, then what else will I escape next. The answer is clear; it would be myself that I will finally give up.
Albert Einstein said:" two things have contributed to a great success, a plan and not quite enough time." Formulating a detailed plan is exactly what I need right now. It is a necessity for me to find another peak in life as well as take things more seriously. Life is not about the process of achieving a small goal, it is about a journey which is worth enjoying. There is no mean of experiencing the "lightness of being" which seems so easy to say. From my personal experience, the punishment it imposes to my heart( self-accusation) and the consequences it brings to my life are the "weight" that I can hardly bear.
I watched few speeches some successful brand founders made in the GIC, they are living a life we all desire for, for they make constant devotion to the fields they are good at with burning enthusiasm and have creative, ambitious plans for what they want to achieve in the future.
Indeed, plans are needed in life and sticking to them can we gradually gain self-fulfillment. It is time for me to wake up and fight again.

- I quite agree with you. A life without planning will have gained nothing. We should start planning ourselves from now on.

- Coincidentally, I read a passage about self-discipline an hour ago. It summarizes 3 ways to succeed: First, you should take 25 minutes to make a plan for your whole day and conduct it scrupulously. Second, you should keep sincere when you get along with other people. Third, the most important one, prepare schemes of any emergency to make sure you can finish your plan. I am trying to do these and I hope these can help you.

- I trust that deep down in your heart always exists a final goal(to be an interpreter or something like that, I guess ). What you are going through is a common feeling that happen during fighting. Don't push yourself too hard. You can do well.
