Although there were many moments along the way when koalas wanted to give up, they eventually walked down with their dreams in their hearts. As long as she sees something, she will go all out. As koala's best friend Fat Salted Fish said, "We all believe that as long as we work hard, we can change our lives. A person's life is too short. We must do what we really like, no matter how difficult it seems at the moment, no matter how impossible it is to be told by others. "
I just arrived in the United States, and I'm not used to it. The food culture is very different from that in China in all aspects. Eating expensive bread is hard to swallow. I was afraid to talk to my teachers and classmates for the first time, because they were all very background and inferior, but fortunately, I won the applause of my classmates with sincere words. I found that in fact, in this celebrity melting pot, no one will laugh at you as long as you dare to speak.
Finally, I slowly adjusted my mentality. "Every year, thousands of Qian Qian students leave the motherland and go to all parts of the world. Isn't everyone like this? " Since everyone can do it, of course I can do it. Let nature take its course I should not doubt whether I can live, but ask myself how to live. "
When you change your mind, everything becomes different. As long as there are more urgent problems in front of you, you will naturally forget your previous troubles. Just as koalas began to be bound by heavy schoolwork, "how to adapt to the environment" is no longer so important.
The best way to face the new environment is to play it as a game. Make yourself the protagonist of the game. Your environment is the scene of the game. Your goal is to increase your experience by overcoming big and small difficulties, and finally defeat the ultimate Qiang Sen. With this idea, I am not so uneasy. On the contrary, I have more expectations, expecting to meet new people and things, and expecting myself to grow, mature and grow slowly in this strange land.
This shows how important a person's mentality is. It not only determines your mood, but more importantly, it guides your every step. Only when you focus on what you urgently need to solve can you have no energy to worry about some small things in life.
Don't worry about your environment or that you can't compare with others. Because everyone is a different individual, living in a different environment, receiving different education and values, there is not much comparability. So as long as you do your own thing well, it is enough to make you better today than you were yesterday.
I gradually realized that the crux of the problem now is not the comparison between myself and others, but how to surpass myself. If you think positively, all the disadvantages at present can actually be turned into advantages. It is with this mentality that koalas began their study and life in the United States. This mentality will also help her find a job in the future. She doesn't feel sad because she is an international student and her language and culture are not as good as those of Americans. On the contrary, she thinks it is a good advantage. You accept the cultural influence of two countries, which is very helpful for her to communicate with patients in the future.
In fact, all the negative emotions of complaining about others and feeling sorry for themselves are a waste of time. When you feel painful, difficult, depressed and sad, and want to stick a knife in yourself, it means that you are going uphill.
For international students, everyone is the same at first, and they gradually get used to it. "No matter what happens, we must try to calm down and live in the present."
As the movie "My family bought a zoo" said: Sometimes, the more you run away, the more anxious you will be. If you can summon up the courage to start for 20 seconds, you will find that it is really not as difficult as you think.
A very common way of giving lectures in American classrooms, koalas were very afraid of giving speeches at first. Although they are still nervous in the end, once they start talking, they are no longer afraid and just focus on what they want to give.
"I suddenly feel that as long as I work hard enough, as time goes by, everything in front of me will be overcome by me."
In order to overcome this loneliness in a foreign land, I began to try to find something for myself. I began to learn to cook, and I dared to try all kinds of recipes. I began to make time to travel, search for the beautiful scenery of the surrounding cities, and took many beautiful photos for my family to enjoy.
"Don't worry, take your time and give it to time calmly, because time is the answer to all puzzles, and eventually all problems will be solved naturally with the passage of time."
During the internship, koala also learned a lot, and found that all your efforts will not be in vain, even if you can't see the benefits now, it will definitely be effective in the future.
For example, when recording patients' notes, we use the ability of training "dictation", practicing listening repeatedly, mastering key records and summarizing in English. All your efforts are worthwhile. Even if there is no immediate effect at that time, it will be seen sooner or later. Nothing is done for nothing.
Remember not to record anything in a hurry, but to find the memory chain from the complicated information, and gradually get used to relying on the brain instead of the pen. It is true that a good memory is not as good as a bad writing, but it may not give you the opportunity to take notes, so you should practice a strong mind.
"I love my job very much. When I choose it, I know that I will devote my life to this cause. Whatever you do in the future, you should follow your true love and interest. As long as you make a choice, you must be full of enthusiasm and let hope last forever! This is what a female warrior should look like! "
Everyone must love something. After all, you need to devote great enthusiasm to your life's work. Once you have made your interest clear, please treat it with 100% energy and let it last forever.
Remember: full of enthusiasm, hope will last forever.
There are also some job-hunting tips in the book:
The book explains a big misunderstanding for us, that is, the first thing to find a job is not to write a resume and a cover letter. It is the first step to clarify your professional direction and interest and analyze the existing positions in the market.
What you have is your core competitiveness.
Please be more careful when applying for a job, the details may have unexpected effects.
Especially in the case of expert competition, everyone's hard power is neck and neck, and only the subtle differences in soft power can become the key factor that ultimately determines success or failure.
For example, will you call regularly to follow up your application after sending out a cover letter? Will you prepare exquisite manuscript paper for the job application submitted by mail, print your resume and cover letter and send them on paper? Will you send a thank-you card after each interview?
You can see a person's intentions and your love for their company from the details.
Another point is to support your argument with concrete examples when answering interview questions. You should not only say your strengths and weaknesses, but also specify where they are reflected. Otherwise, it will look pale and will not leave a deep impression on people.
Most of us are ordinary people. If it is difficult to have the hard power that people have to have, then we must work hard on the details. Let people see your carefulness and know that you are interested in their company.
This is not a chicken soup for the soul, there is no patchwork story, and there is no gorgeous language. Is an ordinary simple girl down-to-earth, step by step towards the distance she wants to go. We can't copy the story of koala, but we can see vivid examples from her story and feel the indomitable strength.
