Yes, and the moment I found out, I felt that I was extremely weak. People who originally thought that I was the same kind of person as you suddenly became a hundred times more powerful than you, and I felt like I was hit by a 10,000-point crit in my heart. There are such people around me, and there are quite a few of them. Although my friends often say how good and awesome I am, sometimes I really feel like a little ant in front of those awesome people, not to mention that that person is still with you. The friend you think you know well after spending time together is killed in seconds.
I am a person who likes to make friends, but the most important thing for me to make friends is that they have the same interests as me and have the same topics, especially the gap should not be too big. So this summer I signed up for an English speaking cram school, and then I was immersed in the world of English every day. I thought that everyone in the class should be similar to me. As a result, in a month of study, I was surprised one after another. Unexpected. In the class, I met a person who didn’t seem to be very outstanding, and of course she didn’t speak English very well. She had a similar personality to me, she was cheerful and could joke around, so of course, we quickly became friends. Later, our teacher suddenly mentioned her during the daily chicken soup for the soul. That’s when I realized that people really shouldn’t be judged by their appearances. Not only was she a graduate student, but she had already applied for many patents in her field. She also received a full scholarship every year during her undergraduate studies. She had already earned enough money to own a house when she graduated from her senior year. The down payment was made without any help from the family when the family was well-off. After knowing it at that time, I felt that I was nothing. Although I couldn't say that I was useless, I didn't do anything great.
There are many examples of this among friends. Because they know more people, they encounter more things, but there are not so many surprises among relatives. But it still reminds me of a younger brother of mine who is very careless in his studies and loves to play. He feels like he can't do anything well. Later, one time, I was playing a game. I was not very proficient because I just got into it, and I often cheated my teammates, which made me embarrassed to play again. After my brother saw me playing the game, he suddenly said that he also plays this game. My first reaction at that time was that such a young child must be very good, but when he came up to play with it, I instantly felt that he was being wiped clean in seconds. My only thought at that time was that if God closes a door for you, he will definitely open a window for you. My brother is a perfect example.
In fact, this situation is very common. Maybe you are also a hidden master in the eyes of others, but you just don’t know it. When you find that there is someone stronger than you around you, the most important thing is not to lament how good they are, but to work hard to improve yourself so that you can become an insurmountable existence so that you will not feel weak.
