There are two chances in life, and there is no second chance in life

A recent college graduate in California, USA, was legally drafted into the 2003 winter conscription and is about to serve in the most difficult and dangerous Marine Corps.

The young man had been worried since he learned that he had been drafted by the Marine Corps. When his grandfather, who taught at the University of California, saw his grandson's distraught appearance, he told him, "Son, there's nothing to worry about.

When you get to the Marine Corps, you'll have two opportunities, one to stay in the back office and one to be assigned to the field. If you're assigned to the back office, you don't have to worry about it at all. "

The young man asked his grandfather, "What if I am assigned to the field department?" ”

"Then there will also be two opportunities, one is to stay in the United States, and the other is to be assigned to a military base abroad," Grandpa said. If you're assigned to the U.S. homeland, what's there to worry about? ”

Young man: "So, what if I'm assigned to a base abroad?" ”

Grandpa said: "Then there are still two opportunities, one is to be assigned to a peaceful and friendly country, and the other is to be assigned to a peacekeeping area." If you are assigned to a peaceful and friendly country, it is also a good thing to be thankful for. ”

The young man asked, "Grandpa, what if I am unfortunately assigned to the peacekeeping area?" ”

Grandpa said: "Then there are also two chances, one is to return safely, and the other is unfortunately injured." If you can make it back safely, wouldn't it be unnecessary to worry? ”

The young man asked, "What if you are unfortunately injured?" ”

Grandpa said, "You also have two chances, one is that you can still save your life, and the other is that the treatment is completely ineffective." If it can still save its life, why worry about it? ”

The young man then asked, "What if the treatment is completely ineffective?" ”

Grandpa said: "There are still two opportunities, one is to die as a national hero who dares to charge, and the other is to hide behind and unfortunately die." Of course you will choose the former, since you will become a hero, what is there to worry about? ”

Yes, no matter what kind of opportunities you encounter in life, there will be two opportunities. One is a good opportunity and one is a bad opportunity. In the good opportunities, there are hidden bad opportunities, and in the bad opportunities, there are good opportunities.

The key is what kind of vision, what kind of mentality, and what kind of perspective we use to treat it. If you look at it with an optimistic and positive attitude, then bad opportunities will also become good opportunities; If you treat it with a negative, decadent, pessimistic and frustrating attitude, then a good opportunity will also be seen as a bad opportunity.

Since everything gives you two chances at all times, it is a matter of your attitude to choose which one and the next one. If you read this article and are still in a hurry to ask others to help, you just shouldn't be.

Open Zhihu, under a few questions about rereading, the answer is all suggested: don't repeat. They listed the risks of repeating, and admonished the ignorant college entrance examination candidates in the tone of the past, as if they had shaped repeating into a wrong choice.

But there are still countless people who choose to repeat.

When it comes to repetition, most people probably think about it: give yourself another chance. However, the reality is that most people do not understand and support this, and even strongly oppose it.

And after round after round of college entrance examinations, how many repeat students have really achieved their goals and avoided all kinds of cracks in the first college entrance examination?

It is true that repetition itself is a commendable act of courage, and in Zhang Yunzhe's position, it is difficult for anyone to have such the courage to make a desperate bet. But if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that in the choice of repeating this choice, there are one intersection after another for him to approach his ideals, and he has missed them again and again.

People praise Lao Ji for his ambition of thousands of miles, and they will mention countless times that it is never too late to succeed. But we still have to reflect on one or two things: it is never too late to succeed, and if there is a second chance after the wrong choice, does it mean that we can let the first opportunity fail?

The answer is no.

Life itself is a road that is difficult to turn back, and the lost time is difficult to recover, even if there is a chance to redeem the regrets of the past in the future, but the good times are gone. There is such a sentence in "Unheard of Flower Names": I really want to go back to my childhood, but time is behind me to block the way of retreat.

Repetition gives us a second chance to work hard for our ideals, but it can't give us the time that has passed. For us, the time spent in vain is the biggest price. Yes, repetition is bravery, repetition is responsibility for oneself, but before repetition is the act of "being responsible for oneself", is there a way for us to be responsible for ourselves and avoid repeating?

The answer is yes.

In the busy student days, we should have the right goal, the right mentality, to face everything that we are born to know, to face the exam that we are born to pass. Even if the outcome is not necessarily perfect, we still have to put 12 cents of energy into it, sacrificing those pompous, short-lived pleasures.

On the battlefield of learning, we may have a "resurrection coin" that comes back from the dead after the baptism of bullets, but it doesn't mean that you can be shot at will to waste your HP, and before considering resurrection, we can also challenge to clear the level with full blood.

As a human being, we must face everything with a fearless spirit. Even if we have a way out for a while, stop him for a while and say to yourself, "We are born with no way out." ”

It's really hard to say how many opportunities you can have in your life.

Being able to come into this world is the greatest opportunity. Congratulations, you've seized this opportunity!

As for how many opportunities there will be after coming to this world, it will vary from person to person......

For example, born in a wealthy family.

For example, having a bright mind.

For example, being tall and handsome.

Of course, all of the above is often treated as luck. The most common thing we talk about is opportunities such as further education and promotion.

For this kind of opportunity, it is really hard to come by. For many people, they don't necessarily come across it once in a lifetime.

For example, let's make the cut......Is there a chance to advance, when there is such an opportunity, whether your hardware conditions are enough, whether the hardware conditions are enough, whether the competition is fierce or not, ......and so onIn short, it's hard to find in a lifetime!

For us, opportunity itself is uncontrollable. What we can do is to try to improve our strength and be able to grasp the opportunity when it comes. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!

Also, there is one more important point. That is to have the courage to work hard! When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Only by daring to act can we give full play to our greatest potential and truly grasp the opportunities that come!

This will vary from person to person. Some people have more, some people have less. It is not possible to generalize.

Because sometimes opportunities need to be created by people! But opportunities need to be grasped, and once we don't grasp them, they will be fleeting. Why do some people succeed and others don't?

In many cases, there are people who seize the opportunity and then follow the trend and finally succeed, while some people do not want to forge ahead, hesitate in the face of the opportunity, and finally can only miss the success.

The opportunity is to be grasped by yourself, this opportunity as long as you are lucky, you will often encounter it, this is not limited by opportunities!
