I remember the teacher said that those of us in our early twenties are actually the most easily influenced by other people’s thoughts. For example, famous quotes from successful people, experiences from people who have lived through them, or words from friends. Our free-floating thoughts have nowhere to rest.

On a rainy afternoon, I was originally sleepy, but chatting with an old high school friend made me sober. Maybe this is the magical power of roommates. Even if we haven't contacted each other for a long time, we still feel familiar when we chat with them. She said that my words were very warm. To be honest, this sentence almost made me cry with excitement, and my heart warmed. Overall, I am very grateful for her love and encouragement. Later, we talked to each other about what we were busy with recently, discussed whether we should take the postgraduate entrance examination, what kind of jobs we would look for in the future, and discussed the current situation of other roommates, whether they were in love, etc. Those times that we can never get back, sometimes I miss them so much, I just hope they are all really well.

Finally we arrive at stereotypes. When these four words appeared, I was stunned again. This is the topic I want to write about most recently. There is no obvious reason. I just feel that it has always been with me and never left me. Just like when I was young, I thought that people who study well should be excellent. That pretty girl should be liked by many people. If I can work so hard, I will definitely make progress... ..

Stereotype, the explanation in Sogou Encyclopedia is: Stereotype is also called "stereotyping effect", which refers to an individual's stable view of certain people or things due to social influence. What is the stable view? This is related to the next little story, because my friend majored in law. In my impression, lawyer should be a very beautiful, very decent and very classy profession. I also think it is just a very good choice. . She said she wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination and join a law firm in the future. I said that would be cool, and what a great lawyer you are. Think about how majestic you look when you work in professional attire.

She paused again and said, her voice became very quiet. Actually, no, I think I might be suitable to be a paralegal. Besides, lawyers are not what you think. In fact, lawyers also have... .....It suddenly dawned on me, yes, I realized that I had also fallen into the trap of stereotypes, imagining them as being in a TV series, just like He Yichen in "He Yi Sheng Xiao Mo"... ....But life is not a TV series. Life is more realistic and interesting than it.

We tend to think of some things as most people think. We think that after studying accounting, we will become an accountant, we think that the lawyer profession should be glorious and dignified, and we think that our father will always be strong. A superman who thinks that hard work will lead to a salary increase and promotion, that having an iron rice bowl job means he will be carefree for the rest of his life, that his silent efforts will be rewarded, and that if you like her, she will love you one day. ...Everything you think is what you think, and you will slowly find that all those thoughts will one day become vulnerable, even ridiculous.

But are these views wrong? No, there is none, it just lies in some of our unchanged thoughts. We look for security in our ideas, we deny ourselves in the face of challenges, and we look for replicable success paths in our growth. In this way, it seems that stereotypes have become a safe haven. It allows you to find certainty in the unknown and reasons for failure or success in the known. Yes, others say that the employment prospects of this major are very good. My neighbor’s sister studied this major and found a good job. Then I will study this major. Yes, this case is very difficult. Brother Chen, who is so powerful, has not completed the task. How can I complete it? Yeah...you see, that's the stereotype. It's all around you.

Get rid of "stereotypes" and don't set yourself up. The world is changing much faster than you think.

Fazia Koofi once said in "I Don't Want You to Die of Nothing", "Set your goals high. You can never estimate how far a person's explosive power can reach. If you set limits at the beginning, , then, you will probably have no desire to explode in your life, so how can you have height, depth and width? "Setting yourself up means restraining yourself. What really stops you from moving forward is not the external environment, but your stereotypes and prejudices.

You may also find it strange. Sometimes it is easy to change your mind, but sometimes it is so difficult that it is impossible to happen. Is it your stubbornness or your uneasiness? But no matter what it is, I hope you will be more rational, more brave, more understanding, and take the first step from a different perspective.
