subject: The Chinese Student in Harvard University [print this page] The Chinese Student in Harvard University
You may hear of the reports that a lot of Chinese students who are staying abroad for further study incline to commit suicide. The reason for their conduction is the failure to deal with the pressure they face in their daily life as well as in their study.
Just days ago, I heard of a piece of news about a Chinese student who committed suicide in Harvard University. The student specialized in computer science. He worked hard in order to be the best student in his class. However, it seemed that no matter how hard he tried, he would never achieve his goal. What's worse, his professor often scolded him on this matter. In the end, the student can not bear the pressure any more and chose to end his life.
What we can learn from the tragedy is that we should own a strong will and the capability to face the various pressure and obstacles life would endow us. If you do not know how to do with the setbacks and your inner loneliness, then even the Harvard University may also take you to the way of failure.
It is no hard work to commit suicide. However, your death changes nothing. The earth will still move on and the sunshine will still take on its gorgeous look. It is you that leave the world and stop your likely bright future. If you choose to keep on going bravely no matter what kind of difficulties you would meet, you will find that there are so many beautiful and wonderful things which are waiting for you, such as the Grand Canyon Colorado, the waterfall in Niagara and the Great Wall in China. These places of interests deserve more of your attention than just simply giving up your hope for the world. And only if you are alive can you have the chance to take a visit to them.
Therefore, we should always bear the belief in our mind that those beautiful things in the world are created just for us. With this belief, we will be motivated and nothing will bring us down whenever you feel discouraged or depressed.
Yes, the life is full of hardships and we can not ever forecast what will happen within the next minute. There are so many objective existences and they will not be changed by our wills. However, it does not mean that the only choice we have is to passively accept. We should do something to realize our value in the society. We should try every means available in order to adapt ourselves to these difficult situations and, further more, to learn from these precious experiences.
Some psychologists suggest some ways to reduce the outside pressures, such as taking more exercises, having more communications with your friends or your family members. Among the advice, I think the most effective one is to listen to the music with a piece of high-quality Bluetooth stereo headset (http://www.dinodirect.com/stereo-headsets/). So, Dear friends, just try these useful ways when you feel life is hard and difficult,and then you will find that life isn't as difficult as you have imagined actually.
