Zhou Yu, editor-in-chief of the prose collection "Domestic Cat and Wild Cat", won the first prize in the third national new concept composition competition. She is a senior 3 student in Beijing No.4 Middle School, and her academic performance is also very good. It can be said that Zhou Yu has realized many students' dreams, but under the dazzling aura, she feels calm like water without any impetuousness. Speaking of success, Zhou Yu attributed the reason to her school-Beijing No.4 Middle School. Zhou Yu said: "From a school with low competition to No.4 Middle School, I saw that I was not the best. Many people are better than you, and you have to admit that there are differences between people. Maybe you can't compete with others all your life. This is the reality that you must face. " This greatly changed Zhou Yu. After three years in high school, Zhou Yu has changed a lot from the inside out, especially her mentality. "In the beginning, my mentality was very utilitarian. I used to think that getting into a good high school would lead to a good university, but now I don't think so. For example, my study is not the best, but I tell myself that I am in the best group. No matter what happens in the future, I will live with this mentality and I will be very happy. I want to calm down, forget my insult and calm down. " In Zhou Yu's words, what she wants to tell us in the book "Domestic Cat and Wild Cat" is that a man must keep his feet on the ground, keep a balanced heart and look at the world with a peaceful mind.
For students, the most important thing is learning, and learning methods are very important. Zhou Yu said: "For example, if you eat rice, you won't grow rice, and if you eat steamed bread, you won't grow steamed bread. Eating is for nutrition, so learning is to cultivate one's own ability. Learning with this mentality will make you feel much better. " She wants to apply for Peking University, but Zhou Yu stressed that this is only her plan, not a dream.
For teenagers with colorful dreams, Zhou Yu suggested: "A person's success is first to find a good attitude and cultivate his abilities in all aspects under a good attitude. At the same time, I should be good at seizing opportunities, and the new concept composition contest provided me with an opportunity. The so-called new concept composition is actually no concept composition, and there will be many topics for you to choose from. Its form is different from other composition competitions. The jury will look at the ideological connotation of your article, not just the words. "
Zhou Yu usually has many hobbies: dancing, playing Tai Ji Chuan, playing computer and even reading recipes are her favorites. In the busy life of senior three, she used these to adjust. Through winning the prize and publishing a book, Zhou Yu said that the biggest gain she got was that she became more and more calm inside. For the majority of students and friends, Zhou Yu said: "Nowadays, young people are publishing books for business. I hope that young friends who love literature will not be influenced by commercialization, keep a good attitude and do what they like in a down-to-earth manner. If you have the opportunity, you must grasp yourself! "
