Which life do you want to live? Plain or stimulative?
The idea toward what kind of life to pursue varies from person to person. The experience we encountered influences our understanding and preference to both kinds of life. Some people said that life was tough and highly stressed for anyone in this complex society no matter you were rich or poor, old or young, as people always had something to bother about. So they long for getting rid of such annoyed things and living in a peaceful and plain life. In the opposite, some people were afraid of living a plain life, they pursued a stimulative life. They argued that life is short, there are only several decades for us; we should make our life exciting rather than plain.
Both views have its advantage, but I think life is so complicated that it is difficult and unreality for me to tell in which kind of life I prefer to live. My experience is a little different from other guys. I graduated 3 years ago, but I returned to school for further education after 1 year’s work. When I was an undergraduate, I was looking forward to going outside of school and having a job quickly. I found my school life was wateriness and stress free even I had taken part in student units and other student activities. I started to imagine how stimulative my future life would be after I graduated. I would like my life full filled with challenges and excitement. Reality is not always like what we imagined before. After I graduated, I did find a job that was with a lot of challenges and highly stress; I thought that would be an exciting life that I wanted. At first, I was energetic to face my job; everything and every issue I met were fresh to me, which completely catered to my curiosity and aggression. Gradually, I felt that there was little time, while much stress for me. Challenging job not only meant stimulative life, but also meant you had little time for your private life. I had to refuse friends’ invitation for gathering, lunch or other activities as I had no time. I didn’t enjoy my stimulative life any longer, but feeling tough and tired. An idea of resignation began to appear in my mind. In the period, something unexpected happened; it was a long story to say. Anyway, one thing lead to another, I chose to get away from that kind of life by participating in the post-graduate entrance examination, in order to looking for a life of leisure in future. And luckily, I passed it and started my school life again.
Now, school life is undoubtedly plain, just like a calm lake without any ripples. Every day, my life is around the library, my dormitory, canteen and sport ground. Some time, I also go to downtown to buy some daily necessities. School is really safe haven, it isolates us from the outside world of noise and agitation. Some of my friends admired that I can still continue study and enjoy the freedom of life. But, I don’t own the feeling that they think I should have after one year’s studying, for I deeply recognize that school life is a phase of my entire life, I shouldn’t take it as a place to avoid what I should face anymore. I begin to miss the life of work again.
This is me, a normal person who still can’t figure out which kind of life I would like to live in. The mystery of life is that you are unable to predict what your life is in future and to be sure what kind of life you favor. One thing happens or a person you meet would change your life and your attitude to life, just like a well-known saying by Forrest Gump “Life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.”
