Editor's note: Recently, the national college entrance examination has come to an end, and candidates who have been in a cold window for several years are about to open a new chapter in their lives. At this important turning point in life, how do candidates apply for their majors? How to plan your future life path? What mindset should we adopt to walk this path well?

During his tenure in Zhejiang, General Secretary Xi Jinping wrote an article titled 'The Road is Under Our Feet'. He pointed out in the article: "There are millions of paths in life, and success can be achieved in all walks of life. As long as one is determined to pursue and work hard, one can still achieve their life aspirations and goals." For young people, the college entrance examination is not the end, but the beginning of a new stage in life. On this occasion, the New Era Learning Studio is reviewing General Secretary Xi Jinping's important discourse on young people walking a good life path, for readers to learn together.

Adjust mindset

Getting into college is certainly gratifying, but there is no need to be pessimistic or despair if you don't get into college. The road is right under your feet.

——The article "The Road is at Your Feet" in "New Language of Zhijiang" (July 11, 2003)

The key to a person's success lies not in whether they attend university, but in their practical abilities. Society itself is a big school, pay attention to learning everywhere. As long as you are willing to learn and able to endure hardships, you can still succeed without attending university.

——The article "The Road is at Your Feet" in "New Language of Zhijiang" (July 11, 2003)

We must start from various aspects such as society, schools, and parents, and do everything possible to liberate children from grades. To make them understand that there are millions of paths in life, and all walks of life can lead to success. As long as one is determined to pursue and work hard, one can still achieve their life aspirations and goals.

Ideal Tree

Only by integrating one's life ideals into the cause of the country and the nation can one ultimately achieve success.

Ideals guide the direction of life, while beliefs determine the success or failure of one's career. Without ideal beliefs, it can lead to a mental 'calcium deficiency'.

A life with faith, dreams, struggle, and dedication is a meaningful life. The stage for contemporary youth to make achievements is unprecedentedly broad, and the prospect of realizing their dreams is unprecedentedly bright. We hope that everyone will work hard to create their own wonderful lives in the great practice of realizing the Chinese Dream.

Can endure hardship

A blueprint cannot be achieved overnight, and a dream cannot come true overnight. Everything in the world is difficult. The more beautiful the future, the more we need to put in arduous efforts.

Countless successful facts in life indicate that in youth, choosing to endure hardships means choosing to reap rewards, and choosing to dedicate means choosing nobility. Experiencing a little more wrestling, setbacks, and tests during youth is beneficial for walking a good life path.

Behind success, there is always arduous effort. Youth should take the difficult environment as an opportunity to hone themselves, treat small things as big things, and move forward step by step. Dripping water can pierce through rocks. As long as you are persistent and persevering, success will definitely be waiting for you ahead.

Study hard

Learning is the eternal theme of being a person and an important foundation for serving the country and the people. Dreams start from learning, and careers start from practice. In today's world, knowledge and information are rapidly updated, and any slight slack in learning can lead to falling behind. Some people say that everyone's world is a circle, and learning is a radius. The larger the radius, the wider the world one has.

Study diligently, put in hard work, and seek true knowledge. Knowledge is an important foundation for establishing core values. Life only comes once, we should cherish it well. The value of learning lies in diligence, research, and perseverance.

Young people should maintain the spirit of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, practice if they don't know how to learn, and work hard to create conditions if they don't have them.

——Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium of Intellectuals, Model Workers, and Youth Representatives on April 26, 2016

Walk the road well

Contemporary Chinese youth should cherish their youth while reflecting on and keeping up with the times, consciously hone and improve themselves in accordance with the requirements of the Party and the people, achieve lofty aspirations, balance morality and talent, cultivate both reason and reason, and be brave in exploring new horizons. They should unleash their life dreams in the fiery youth and achieve great success in their careers in the hardworking spring.

——On July 24, 2015, Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to the 12th National Committee of the All China Youth Federation and the 26th National Congress of the All China Federation of Students

The journey of youth is long. Along the way, there are flat rivers and high mountains, gentle currents and dangerous rapids, beautiful days and storms, joy and sorrow. There is sunshine in the heart and strength under the feet. Only by persevering and not slackening in pursuit of ideals can we create a life worthy of the times.

——Speech at the symposium of intellectuals, model worker and youth representatives on April 26, 2016

Young people should release their youthful passion and pursue their youthful ideals in their struggle, paving the way and building bridges for national rejuvenation and contributing to the construction of the motherland with the self of youth and the self of struggle.

Contemporary youth are a generation that advances together with the new era. The new era we are facing is not only the best era for the development of the Chinese nation in modern times, but also the most critical era for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The vast youth not only have broad development space, but also carry the great mission of the times.
