“Oops, it’s killing me”, “Can you please stop rolling”… The word “roll” appears more and more frequently in various situations, and it seems to be applicable to any situation. We gradually Giving it more meaning.

"Volume" means involution, which means consumption without substantial meaning. The ultimate benefit of the entire struggle process does not increase but decreases. For example, if the company originally has a fixed off-duty time, but someone stays to work overtime, if you don't want to be outdone and continue to work, your competitors will inevitably fight with you, and other people who are affected by this are afraid of being labeled as "not working hard and not active" I can only work overtime... In the end, the time that should be spent eating, watching movies and shopping is wasted on inefficient overtime for no reason, the collective welfare is reduced, and the boss is overjoyed.

But what we call "volume" in daily life has evolved into a synonym for higher efficiency, harder work, and more positivity. Just like the little thing about waking up time, someone in a boys dormitory in our class got up at six in the morning. Others heard the noise and hurriedly dressed and washed. Is this a roll? According to the original meaning of "inside roll", this situation is not conform to. Six o'clock may just be his daily biological clock. Exercising, eating, and studying after getting up are his most comfortable lifestyle. If his roommate is like me and will be groggy and unresponsive all day long if he doesn't sleep until 8:30 in the morning, then what will they get if they wake up at 6:00 in the morning? Extremely low learning efficiency, life and death Knowledge that does not enter the brain, or uncontrollable sleepiness...

They all say "don't get involved", so why do you get "involved"? In my opinion, the fundamental reason is Because I don’t have a clear plan or a clear goal. Take the graduate thesis as an example. Some students have completed the first draft of the thesis in the first semester of graduate school, while some have not finalized the topic in the third semester of graduate school. This is the gap. But if you want to say that students who have not finalized the topic until the third semester of graduate school are not asking for it, To make progress, that may be biased. It's just that the plans of the two are different. The former may have plans to study for a Ph.D., and scientific research papers are essential; the latter focuses on internships and will focus more on future work on the premise of graduating. Therefore, I think he may not be involved. The end points are different, so why compare. Even if you and he have the same goal, as long as you stay down-to-earth and focus on yourself at your own pace, you won't be "scrolled".

The hot word corresponding to "volume" is "display". If you want to say that rerolling is "showing off", then I have to have a good chat with you. "It's a matter of life and death." In this era of fierce competition, if you don't have money, you may not be able to have enough food and clothing, and the gap between your goal of "billions of dollars in income" may be getting wider and wider. When can you shop without looking at the price? When will you have enough assets to deal with various risks, when will you be able to take your parents to eat delicious food, and let them have a happy old age... These can only be obtained by working hard. These people have strong desires and have extraordinary motivation to become workaholics. But revolting does not mean following the trend, giving up life, and living a miserable life. It's just a different attitude towards life. They feel that they have enough money to spend, and they want to devote more energy to life and enjoy life.

In the first article of Maugham's "The Truth of the World", "The Fall of Edward Barnard", Edward changed his previous hard work and gave up Chicago, choosing to live in peace and quiet. In the lazy Tahitian life, Bateman criticized Edward for having no ambition and losing his previous fighting spirit. However, the "fallen" Edward enjoyed this change very much, "I have books, Eve, and children to keep me company - more importantly What's more, I still have the ever-changing ocean and sky, the fresh dawn, the gorgeous sunset and the beautiful night. I will cultivate a garden in a wilderness... We know that if a person gains the whole world, he loses it. His life is meaningless. I thought I had lost my soul." Has Edward fallen? I don’t think so! This is not about messing around, it’s not about muddling along, he clearly knows what kind of life he wants.

He chose another way of life, no longer busy, and stopped to look at the flowers, sea and book at the right time. But to live such a life, you need capital. First of all, you must have a stable income, and at least have enough food and clothing before you can seek spiritual prosperity. If food and clothing cannot be solved, there is no need to talk about the spiritual world.

So whether you want to roll or not is all up to you. Don’t disrupt your rhythm because of others. You must have a clear understanding of yourself, what kind of goals you want to achieve, what kind of life you want to live, and face it positively. Life.

There is no need to envy others, everyone has their own destiny, just be yourself!
