48 pieces of advice for college students

Thread Content

1. Don’t be afraid of embarrassment; pursuing it is a try toward success. As for those who laugh at you for it, you can exclude them from the list of potential rivals in your future life. You should also applaud everyone who takes the stage to sing. 　　2. You have every reason to admire those who get up early every day; if you don’t believe it, go try it yourself. Once you do it, you’ll find that many people will admire you. 　　3. Nothing is impossible. Once you have chosen your goal, don’t think too far ahead; just take steady steps forward day by day, regardless of the challenges. As long as life goes on, the struggle continues. 　　4. You and your friend will work together in the future to build a career that could be very successful. It sounds nice, right? Remember, you all need to work hard. 　　5. When you look back on many things, you realize they weren’t that important after all. So, no matter how angry you are at that moment, tell yourself that you don’t have to do it; you’ll find that you really don’t have to. 　　6. No matter what others say about universities being places to improve one’s overall abilities, if you fail in your studies, you become nothing – exceptions exist, of course, as there are people who succeed due to exceptional social skills, but have you thought it through? Will you be that surprise? ? 　　7. Don’t use vulgar language; even a single word or a few words can greatly damage your image in the eyes of others. Avoid complaining incessantly about \"degeneration and decadence\" for no reason. 　　8. Make good use of public occasions to practice and showcase yourself; even just speaking up in a class is enough. Don’t be afraid of embarrassment or shame, and don’t laugh at those who feel embarrassed in public. 　　9. Don’t form judgments about yourself or others; what you see and hear might be just one side of the story. 　　10. If there are people around you who are jealous of you, then you can exclude them from your list of competitors. 　　11. When someone informs you about something, thank them; if they don’t inform you, don’t blame them, as you should actually figure those things out on your own. 　　12. During the process of persistent effort, when you feel really tired, take it out and read it; this will give you the motivation to keep going. Remember, no matter how difficult or exhausting it is, it’s a path you have chosen for yourself; you must never give up, nor shed tears. Tears can be shed only when graduation is a success. 　　13. Give your dignity enough resilience; society is a place that loves to destroy people’s dignity. No one else will preserve it for you except yourself. You are at a university, so you have the space to endure failure and setbacks. 　　14. When you reach higher grades, you should strive to have an adult appearance; when freshmen see you, they should feel that you are their senior. You are very mature. 　　15. When faced with great difficulties, don’t panic; be sure to learn to stay calm ； Don’t think about asking others for help. In the past, your family supported you, but now you have to face the challenges on your own, seeking hope in despair – and life will eventually be glorious. 　　16. Learn to say thank you, but it shouldn’t be a perfunctory remark; it is an acknowledgment and appreciation for someone else’s help ； One must also learn to say sorry, but an apology is not an excuse; it is a way to make amends for one’s mistakes and express remorse. 　　17. If you always go to the cafeteria or class by yourself, don’t worry; it’s normal to be alone in college. Do you feel lonely? Your friends are worried that you might think you don’t have any space for freedom; so don’t think you have no friends. 　　18. Do not complain about the differences between schools and the injustices in reality; what seems unfair to you may be fair to others. You must rely on yourself to change unfavorable circumstances and strive for reasonable fairness. 　　19. Whether men or women, if they still attach too much importance to appearance in college, they might not suffer any consequences at first, but they will eventually face difficulties. Maybe, very likely. 　　20. During holidays, either stay at home to spend more time with your parents and help them out; those of you who go far away no longer have as much time as before to be by their side every day ； Either spend more time experiencing life in society, because you not only need to understand life but also learn how to live it. 　　21. When feeling upset or bored and having nothing to do, go to the library often; books offer a purity and tranquility that are hard to find in reality ； Read more books, and life will gradually have less confusion and more purpose. 　　22. Never look down on classmates from poor families; the fact that they have achieved the same results as you under relatively difficult conditions shows that they are even more outstanding than you. Everyone’s life should be equal, and do your best to help them. 　　23. You can lose to anyone, but you must not lose to yourself. 　　24. Call home often; even if you say you don’t want to be with that person, your heart has already been moved ； Even with a girlfriend (boyfriend), one should not forget one’s parents. 　　25. Smile more often; it will gradually make you truly happy. 　　26. University is a new environment; your entire past is a blank slate for them. This is the perfect time to reshape your image, overcome your past shortcomings, and present yourself in a brand new light. 　　27. As a member of the student council, if you respect its officers, tell yourself that it’s because they are your seniors and not because they are your superiors; after all, we are all just students. 　　28. Never strive to be someone who offends no one; it’s a wonderful life to have people who oppose you as well as those who support you, and then to make your own decisions. 　　29. No matter what level of student leader you are, even if you have become the president of the student council, you should respect ordinary students; we are all students, and we should be friends. 　　30. Regret is an emotionally draining feeling. Regret is a greater loss than loss itself, and a greater mistake than error. So don’t regret it. 　　31. You indeed need to learn to be strategic, but remember, always remember, that there is only one way to succeed in society, and that is strength—never doubt this. 　　32. Life is full of various situations; don’t get angry at new things you don’t like – it doesn’t matter. 　　33. We indeed live a difficult life; we have to endure various external pressures, as well as deal with the confusions within our own hearts. In times of struggle, if someone offers you a look of understanding, you feel a warmth in life; perhaps just a brief glance is enough to inspire me greatly, so we must learn to be grateful. 　　34. Calmness: Those who can stay quiet and think of solutions quickly in times of crisis are truly remarkable. 　　35. Society is full of competition, and universities are no exception; winning in such competition relies on one’s own capabilities. 　　36. The impact and persistence in work and study will endow you with a special charm and personal strength. 　　37. If you like someone, be brave enough to tell them that I once said in Tianya that university is a place to learn*, but I understand the power of love. Pursue the person you truly love; as long as you think it’s worth it, then it is worth it. 　　38. Don’t be generous in front of girls, acting like a rich guy, even if you are indeed wealthy. Remember, a woman who is interested in your money will eventually betray you for its sake. 　　39. Don’t imagine that you’ll be the favorite at job fairs; once you realize that 70 percent of junior high school graduates can go to college, you should understand that people won’t admire the majority of a group. Companies need people who can do the work, not those who want to hold positions of power. 　　40. You can choose to persevere or you can choose to give up. There is no right or wrong. I mean, when it comes to love, but what’s important is to stick to your choice. 　　41. If you keep wondering about whom you dislike and who shares your interests, then you’re on the wrong track. You should focus on how to make others accept you, rather than on what kind of people you can tolerate. 　　42. When dealing with strangers, either treat them as a blank slate or as your friends; in any case, don’t treat them as enemies, even if you hear many negative rumors about them. 　　43. Those who love you, whether you accept them or not, you should be grateful to them; it is a sign of respect for them. 　　44. Keep speaking well of others behind their backs; don’t worry that those kind words won’t reach the person in question. When someone speaks ill of someone else in your presence, just smile. 　　45. Set aside time to exercise. 　　46. No matter how confused or lost you feel about the future right now, don’t forget to set a goal. It doesn’t matter what a person was like in the past or is like now; what’s important is what achievements they want to achieve in the future. Unless you have ideals for the future, you won’t be able to achieve anything great. 　　47. Don’t reveal everything from the past to everyone; respect those who like you and those who don’t. 　　48. There are many ways to achieve great things; don’t reject methods that you disapprove of. This post was last edited by 111wwww on 2009-4-5 17:37]
