To improve yourself, you must first have a clear life plan. This sentence is applicable to any level of education, and it is more important for middle school students. A lifetime is too long, and our plan can't be so long. We just need to know what we want to achieve in five or ten years.

We should gradually accept the social reality. This is not to accept others' "cynicism", but to admit the difficult predicament. Of course, our society is beautiful, but each kind of people has their own practical difficulties. Only by recognizing the problem can we analyze and solve it.

Refuse to be labeled. To improve yourself, we need to abandon our own inherent "label", upgrade to secondary school, be in line with the junior college, be in line with the junior college, be in line with the undergraduate course, and be in line with the graduate students, and step by step get out of the original pattern.

At the same time, we should stay away from some muddleheaded people and circles, because they will have an important impact on our life pattern and outlook on life. People are destined to learn to be lonely, so stick to your dreams and don't be moved by others. The happiness brought by spiritual satisfaction and inner improvement is not felt by people who are idle all day.

Ways to increase competitive advantage

If you want to gain a greater competitive advantage, the first thing you can do is to improve your education. Secondary schools can also continue their studies, starting from junior colleges, and can continue to study for bachelor's and master's degrees. Being able to get a bachelor's or master's degree is not only a proof of high academic qualifications, but also reflects a person's strong perseverance. People with such perseverance are awe-inspiring.

Learn a skill and practice it thoroughly. At present, the reason why many undergraduates can't find satisfactory jobs is that the supply of undergraduates exceeds the demand, while the social and technical personnel are extremely scarce. Take CNC machine tools as an example, high salaries can't recruit technicians. It can be predicted that the demand for skilled talents will increase in the future.

Conduct micro-entrepreneurship. Now is the era of mass entrepreneurship, and you can start a business within your own ability. Entrepreneurship brings about the direct improvement of personal ability. Even if it fails, it is of positive significance to people's self-improvement.

Finally, an individual's achievement depends largely on his own ability. Education is just a "stepping stone" to enter society. Without this "stepping stone", don't worry. All we need to do is find some substitutes to knock on the door.
