在探寻生活智慧的路上，稳健步伐，从容不迫，享受当下。

On the path of seeking wisdom in life, take steady steps, be composed and relaxed, and enjoy the present.

1. 人类刚刚诞生之初，人们便不断焦虑，担心温饱，渴望得到一个温室去生存，于是互相争夺，侵占土地，发动战争。于是人类文明出现了奴隶制，人类面临着阶级划分。为了抢占更多的资源，人们开始强大自己，侵略别人去强占资源。诚然，优胜劣汰强者生存，弱者在他人的蚕食下学会相互竞争。

1. In the early days of human existence, people were constantly anxious, worried about their livelihood, and yearned for a greenhouse to survive. As a result, they fought and occupied land, and wars broke out. This led to the emergence of slavery in human civilization and the division of classes. In order to seize more resources, people began to strengthen themselves and invaded others to seize resources. Indeed, the strong survive through the elimination of the weak, and the weak learn to compete with each other under the encroachment of others.

2. ​少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲。人要闯，马要放。不怕慢，就怕站。千日造船，一日过江。路在人走，事在人为。

2. If you do not strive while young, you will only regret it when you are old. If you want to make a move, you must let go. It is not the speed that matters, but the fear of standing still. It takes a thousand days to build a ship, but only a day to cross the river. The path is made by walking, and success depends on human effort.

3. 去发展自身的实力，去丰富自身的内心，去明确自己的追求，去强化自身的底气，这样才能从容不迫的减少焦虑，面对内卷。

3. Strive to develop your own strength, enrich your inner self, clarify your pursuit, and strengthen your confidence. Only then can you calmly reduce anxiety and face internal competition.

4. 作为一名大学生，我所处的是学校的老校区，学校的图书馆很小，一般都是考研的学长学姐在使用，于是我只能在寝室学习，但是遭到室友的排斥，但其实大学生本职不就是要学习吗，什么时候学习也变得可耻了，所以偷偷学习，共同学习或者是一起不学习便成为了常态。

4. As an undergraduate student, I am located in the old campus of the school, where the library is quite small and is generally used by seniors who are preparing for postgraduate entrance exams. Therefore, I have to study in my dormitory, but I was rejected by my roommates. However, isn't the essence of being a university student to study? When did studying become something to be ashamed of? Thus, sneaking in for study, studying together, or not studying at all has become the norm.

5. 这是最好的时代，也是最坏的时代。科技进步，社会发展，生活便利全面小康，但是我们的幸福感却没有提升，我们越努力越焦虑，越焦虑越要努力，你卷我，我卷你，最后卷的一地鸡毛。

5. This is the best of times, and it is the worst of times. Technological progress, social development, and convenient living have brought about a comprehensive well-being, but our sense of happiness has not improved. The harder we work, the more anxious we become; the more anxious we are, the harder we work. We're all in a competition with each other, and in the end, it's all about the mess we've created.

6. “愿中国青年都摆脱冷气，只是向上走，不必听自暴自弃者流的话。能做事的做事，能发声的发声。有一分热，发一分光，就令萤火一般，也可以在黑暗里发一点光，不必等候炬火。此后如竟没有炬火：我便是唯一的光。”

6. "May all Chinese youth break free from the coldness, and only move upwards without listening to the words of those who self-destruct. Those who can act should act, and those who can speak should speak. With a bit of warmth, one can emit a bit of light, like a firefly, which can also shine a little in the darkness without waiting for the torch. If, in the future, there is no torch: I will be the only light."

7. 命运所有馈赠的礼物都在暗中标好了价格。20岁的时候非常贪玩，你会觉得酣畅淋漓，但同时，也失去了提升能力和认知的机会，30岁的时候，你将一事无成，无可奈何。并且进一步造就了你40岁、50岁的碌碌无为。

7. All gifts from destiny are priced in the dark. At 20, you may indulge in endless fun, feeling carefree, but at the same time, you lose opportunities to enhance your abilities and cognition. By the time you are 30, you will find yourself accomplishing nothing, feeling helpless. And this further leads to a fruitless existence at the ages of 40 and 50.

8. 最稳得住的活法，就是不错过，不着急，不害怕。

8. The most stable way of living is to not miss anything, not to be in a hurry, and not to be afraid.

9. 世界的资源是有限的，每个人都希望得到那有限的资源，于是大家互相竞争，在不断的竞争中，人们迷失自我，欲望加剧。

9. The world's resources are limited, and everyone hopes to obtain those limited resources. As a result, people compete with each other, and in the continuous competition, they lose themselves and their desires intensify.

10. 躺平的人是拒绝内卷也拒绝努力，是一种没有奋斗的方向，迷失自我，得过且过的选择。

10. People who choose to "lie flat" are those who reject both internal competition and hard work. It represents a choice without a direction for struggle, a loss of self, and a passive acceptance of life as it comes.

11. 每个人都有自己的因果和命运，不管你付出多少心血，都不会有一丝一毫的改变。比如一个人做了特别不好的事情，天道要给他某种惩罚，可是你突然横插一脚，你觉得就可以改变吗？你的力量可以胜过天道吗？即便被你改变了，那么，天道的惩罚会自行消失吗，是不是要由你去背负和承受呢？

11. Everyone has their own karma and destiny, and no matter how much effort you put in, there will be no change at all. For example, if someone does something particularly bad, the natural order of the universe will mete out some form of punishment to them. But if you suddenly intervene, do you think you can change it? Can your power overcome the natural order? Even if you do manage to change it, will the punishment from the natural order simply disappear, or will it be something you have to bear and endure instead?

12. 内卷是指在世界的有限资源下，导致的人们的竞争加剧现象。

12. Involution refers to the intensification of competition among people under the limited resources of the world.

13. 内卷是随波逐流，一味的模仿，但是我们不可否认的是它让我们得到了提高，为新时代提供了很多人才。人们不断发展，达到“长江后浪推前浪”，而大学生作为新时代青年发展主力军，也做到了科技创新，社会建设。竞争是个人和社会发展的催化剂，本是为了给人民带来更多幸福感，但是内卷却以践踏竞争者为代价，导致整体幸福感下降。简言之就是内卷带来的弊大于利。

13. Involution is about following the crowd and imitating others without discrimination, but we cannot deny that it has improved us and provided many talents for the new era. As people continue to develop, reaching the point of "the later waves push the earlier ones," college students, as the main force of youth development in the new era, have also achieved technological innovation and social construction. Competition is a catalyst for both personal and social development, originally intended to bring more happiness to the people. However, involution, at the cost of trampling over competitors, leads to a decrease in overall happiness. In short, the disadvantages brought by involution outweigh the benefits.

14. 内卷的意义我们已经了解，事实上内卷并不等于努力。

14. The meaning of involution has been understood; in fact, involution does not equal effort.

15. 人生不如意之事，十常八九。世界波谲云诡，人生变幻莫测，命运起起伏伏，我们只有稳住自己，朝着自己期待的方向，循序渐进，步步为营，勇往直前，绝不懈怠，才能最终获得想要的精彩。

15. In life, it is often the case that things do not go as planned, and nine out of ten times, things turn out differently than expected. The world is full of twists and turns, life is ever-changing and unpredictable, and fate fluctuates. We can only stabilize ourselves, move forward step by step towards the direction we aspire to, be steadfast and determined, never give up, and only then can we ultimately achieve the wonderful life we desire.

16. 我们都从小就被灌输着竞争的思想，包括着人的好胜心，我们都坚信着自己可以成为人上人，于是内卷又伴随着每个人的成长而存在。

16. From a young age, we were instilled with the idea of competition, which includes people's desire for victory. We all firmly believed that we could rise above others, and thus the concept of "involution" exists throughout each person's growth.

17. 就如同每个人都在爬越人生的大山，你不知道别人爬到了哪里，你不愿意做山底仰望山上的人，于是当你累了想要休息，却担心自己落后于人，于是只能咬牙坚持，忽略自我本心的选择，这便是内卷导致恶性竞争。

17. Just as everyone is climbing the great mountain of life, you don't know where others have reached, and you don't want to be the one looking up at the mountain from the bottom. So when you're tired and want to rest, you worry about falling behind, and you can only grind your teeth and persevere, ignoring the true choices of your inner self. This is the恶性 competition caused by involution.

18. 人的能量是有限的，我们要把它集中在自己的身上来，自己成就自己，自己救赎自己，自己取悦自己。如果总是操心别人的事情，非当于事无补，还会浪费自己的能量，增加一些生活的烦恼和痛苦。

18. Human energy is limited; we should focus it on ourselves to achieve self-realization, redemption, and self-gratification. If we always worry about others' affairs, it is not helpful and only wastes our own energy, adding more troubles and pain to our lives.

19. 人生每一个阶段，都有应该要做的事情，不要因为偷懒而错过必要的成长，不要贪图眼前的安逸，而错过未来的机会。

19. At every stage of life, there are things that should be done. Do not miss out on necessary growth due to laziness, and do not seek immediate comfort at the expense of missing future opportunities.

20. 每个人都有追求美好的权力，只是现代社会发展太快，人和人的差别太大了。我们不得不去拼尽全力才能达到世界的要求。有人内卷为了更高水平的生活，为了更多的钞票，可有的人内卷却只是为了一顿温饱

20. Everyone has the right to pursue a better life, but in modern society, development moves too fast, and there are great differences between people. We have to strive with all our might to meet the world's demands. Some people are caught up in the "involution" for a higher quality of life and for more money, but for some, the "involution" is just for a meal and a roof over their heads.

21. 让自己慢下来，一步一个脚印的走自己该走的路，把自己修炼成最好的样子，然后静待花开就可以了。

21. Slow down and take each step firmly on the path you should walk. Cultivate yourself to be the best you can be, and then just wait for the flowers to bloom.

22. 大家嘴上说着不挂科的大学是不完整的，对待期末考试平平淡淡，一副无所谓，听天由命的样子，但事实却是恰恰相反，不少学生半夜睡醒会发现室友都在熬夜学习。

22. People may say with their mouths that a university without failing is incomplete, and they treat the final exams with a calm and indifferent attitude, as if they are at the mercy of fate. However, the reality is exactly the opposite; many students wake up in the middle of the night to find their roommates studying all night long.

23. 种什么样的因，就会结什么样的果。你蹉跎岁月，岁月就会蹉跎你，你浪费时间，时间也会浪费你，你敷衍这个世界，这个世界也会敷衍你。

23. The seeds you plant will determine the fruits you harvest. If you squander your time, time will squander you. If you waste time, time will waste you. If you take things lightly in this world, this world will also take things lightly with you.

24. 初中学生面临中考，考进重点高中似乎是可以进入重点大学的敲门砖，于是学生面对繁重的课程还受着四面八方而来的压力，放假去上补习班已是屡见不鲜。

24. Middle school students are facing the entrance examination for high school, and getting into a key high school seems to be a stepping stone to a key university. Therefore, students are under heavy academic pressure while facing the rigorous curriculum, and it has become common for them to attend supplementary classes during their holidays.

25. 一个人知道自己该怎么活，就不会害怕任何一种生活。

25. A person who knows how to live will not fear any kind of life.

26. 那么到了大学便不会卷了吗？依然卷，本来要求5000字的论文有人写1万字收到导师的表扬时候就有人写2万3万、有人一边娱乐一边学习，一心二用、有人热衷于抢占教室第一排，所以即使是第二天早上的课，教室位置也能马上被占完、为了有高绩点，获取保研资格，拿到奖学金，大学生在平时作业上精益求精，渴望脱颖而出，甚至是睡在图书馆为了不浪费学习时间大学生面临着就业问题即将踏入社会，于是看到其他人学习，便会产生焦虑，担心自己会落后，担心自己会被淘汰。网络上更多的“鸡汤文”：《xxx大学期间便创业致富，你有什么理由不努力》等等提醒着我们需要竞争。

26. So, will it be over when we get to university? It's still a fierce competition. When someone writes a 10,000-word paper instead of the required 5,000 words and receives praise from their mentor, there are those who write 20,000 or 30,000 words, some who multitask while enjoying entertainment and studying, some who are eager to occupy the first row of the classroom, so even for a class in the morning the next day, the classroom seats can be taken up immediately. To achieve high grades, secure a recommendation for postgraduate study, and win scholarships, university students strive for excellence in their regular assignments,渴望 to stand out, even sleeping in the library to avoid wasting study time. As university students face the employment issue and are about to step into society, they become anxious when they see others studying, worrying that they might fall behind or be eliminated. There are more "soup" articles on the internet: "During college, xxx started a business and became wealthy, what excuse do you have for not working hard?" etc., reminding us that we need to compete.

27. 想要躺平的人会恐于落后，于是试图同化他人，将别人的努力冷嘲热讽。想要努力的人，看见别人在努力，便产生焦虑，时而自信，时而迷茫，失去自己的节奏，迷失自己努力的方向。最终是大家都开始陷入内卷的状态不能跳出。

27. Those who desire to "lie flat" are afraid of falling behind, so they try to assimilate others and mock their efforts. Those who wish to strive become anxious upon seeing others working hard, oscillating between self-confidence and confusion, losing their own rhythm and getting lost in the direction of their efforts. Ultimately, everyone falls into the state of "involution" and is unable to break out of it.

28. 世界在快速发展，竞争难免，每个人都有自己的追求和目标。

28. The world is developing rapidly, competition is inevitable, and everyone has their own pursuits and goals.

29. ​百尺竿头更进一步，千里之行始于足下。秤砣虽小，但能压千斤。起步慢没关系，但你一定要行动起来。”

29. To go even further from the top of a hundred-foot pole, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Although the weight is small, it can press down a thousand catties. It's fine to start slowly, but you must take action."

30. 结果是，内卷慢慢的被人类接受，人们为了拥有更多的资源而内卷。

30. As a result, involution has gradually been accepted by humans, and people are involved in involution in order to possess more resources.

31. 不将拒绝内卷作为躺平的理由，主动的去努力，遵从本心，去了解自己，我们不必自卑，不必焦虑，我们不和别人比较，而是多和自己比，更多的专注自己的成长和进步。

31. Do not use the refusal to conform to the "involution" as an excuse for "lying flat." Actively strive, follow your true heart, and understand yourself. We do not need to be inferior or anxious. We do not compare ourselves with others, but rather compare ourselves more often and focus more on our own growth and progress.

32. 内卷是对是错，我不能评价。我不能理解人们是为了更为幸福努力的生活而去内卷，但是达者不能兼济天下，穷者也不能独善其身；我不能理解世界各国为了实现更安稳的时代而去内卷，但是人类大陆两度掀起世界大战；我不能理解人们为了找到工作而去内卷，但是付出了更多的劳动却只能拿到微薄的工资……

32. Whether involution is right or wrong, I cannot evaluate. I cannot understand why people engage in involution to live a happier life, but the accomplished cannot benefit the world as a whole, and the impoverished cannot improve themselves alone; I cannot understand why countries around the world go through involution to achieve a more stable era, but the human continent has experienced two world wars; I cannot understand why people participate in involution to find work, but after exerting more labor, they can only receive meager wages...

33. 动物法则的物竞天择，适者生存也不断被人们认可，每个人都被迫的努力，不断的焦虑，陷入内卷的漩涡。

33. The concept of the survival of the fittest, as dictated by the law of nature, is continually recognized by people, and everyone is compelled to work hard, constantly anxious, and caught in the whirlpool of involution.

34. 高中学生更是内卷严重，一开始学生每天学八小时，但学了十小时的人考进了清华北大。人们都挤破脑袋想要去上清北名校，于是都开始学习十个小时，最终是熬夜学习了12小时的被清华北大录取。学生们卷，学习和老师更希望学生们卷，于是分班，成绩排名，周考月考划分等级，最后高考真题更难更偏，可是高等教育院校依然还是那么多，录取的仍然还是那些排名靠前的人。

34. High school students are even more heavily involved in the "involution," where students initially study for eight hours a day, but those who studied for ten hours were admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities. Everyone is desperate to get into the prestigious universities, so they start studying for ten hours, and eventually, those who study for 12 hours overnight are admitted. The students are competing, and the teachers prefer it too, so they divide classes, rank grades, categorize based on weekly and monthly exams, and finally, the real college entrance examination questions are even more difficult and biased. However, there are still many higher education institutions, and the admitted students are still those who rank at the top.

35. 内卷之下，人们都身心俱疲。人们大声呼吁反对内卷，但实际上是人们依然会扔下再捡起，看见他人内卷，口头上的讨厌和抵制，内心却迫不及待想要加入其中。诚然人们当然也很少选择去躺平，大多是更愿意去学习去竞争。

35. Under the pressure of involution, people are both physically and mentally exhausted. People loudly call for opposition to involution, but in reality, they still tend to drop and pick up, seeing others involved in involution, expressing verbal dislike and resistance, but inside, they can't wait to join in. Of course, people also rarely choose to lie flat; most of them prefer to learn and compete.

36. 地球自转一圈要24个小时，地球公转一圈要365天，任何事物的变化发展，都有着属于自己的时间。急于求成，只会搞破坏，揠苗助长，必然万劫不复。

36. The Earth takes 24 hours to complete one rotation, and 365 days to complete one revolution. Any change or development in things has its own time. Hurrying to achieve success only leads to destruction, and trying to hasten the growth of a seedling will inevitably lead to irreversible consequences.

37. 就我看来，内卷或许是不可避免的，是贯穿社会从始至终一直存在的现象。个人的力量难免低微，内卷的现象也是需要长时间努力才能得以改变的。

37. In my opinion, involution may be inevitable, and it is a phenomenon that has been present throughout society from the beginning to the end. The power of individuals is inevitably weak, and the phenomenon of involution also requires long-term efforts to change.

38. 当代的大学生可以被分为三种状态：努力、内卷和躺平。

38. Contemporary university students can be divided into three states: striving, involution, and lying flat.

39. 一段很通透的话：“你每天都很急，一分钟的红灯等不及要闯，三分钟的泡面等不及要吃，路程两天的快递等不及要催，追剧只想要2倍数，比赛只关心结果。我们如此慌慌忙忙，又改变了一些什么呢？还不是老样子吗？为什么不可以慢下来，用心去感受生活的每一个节奏呢？”

39. A very insightful statement: "You are always in a hurry, unable to wait even a minute for a red light, eager to eat instant noodles within three minutes, unable to wait to催a two-day delivery, only wanting to binge-watch shows at double speed, and only caring about the outcome of competitions. Why are we in such a hurry? What have we really changed? Isn't it still the same old situation? Why can't we slow down and take the time to feel the rhythm of life in every moment?"

40. 努力是个人积极向上的正能量，是发自内心的自我选择进步。

40. Effort is a positive energy that propels individuals upwards, stemming from an inner self-choice for progress.

41. 回到内卷的本质，内卷是同行间竞相付出更多的努力以争夺有限的资源。竞争难免，努力没错，而资源问题是社会的一部分。我们大学生作为建设社会的主力军，需要做的是主动的去努力学习，去改变社会现状，去创造资源，才能从根本上解决内卷现象。

41. Returning to the essence of involution, involution is the competition among peers to put in more effort in order to争夺 limited resources. Competition is inevitable, and effort is not wrong, and the issue of resources is part of society. As college students, who are the main force in building society, what we need to do is to actively study hard, change the current social situation, and create resources, so as to fundamentally solve the phenomenon of involution.

42. 内卷让大学生们以自我为中心，不断比较，将自己和别人比较，过分在意他人的行为和成就，迷失自我。

42. Involution makes college students self-centered, constantly comparing themselves with others, overly concerned with others' behaviors and achievements, and lose themselves.

43. 醍醐灌顶的一段话：“20岁的贪玩，造就了30岁的无奈；30岁的无奈，导致了40岁的无为；40岁的无为，奠定了50岁的失败；50岁的失败，酿造了一辈子的碌碌无为。

43. A profound thought: "The playfulness of a 20-year-old leads to the helplessness of a 30-year-old; the helplessness of a 30-year-old results in the meaninglessness of a 40-year-old; the meaninglessness of a 40-year-old lays the foundation for the failure of a 50-year-old; and the failure of a 50-year-old brews a lifetime of aimless toil."

44. 我认为：大学生应该是务实创新的群体，应该有自己的想法，有主见有追求，需要存在理性而不急功近利的去看待世界上的人和事，可以挣脱内卷的枷锁，特立独行，这样才是新时代青年该有的样子。

44. I believe that college students should be a group of pragmatic and innovative individuals, with their own ideas and principles, with aspirations. They need to approach people and things in the world with reason rather than being overly ambitious and short-sighted. They can break free from the shackles of internal competition, be unique and independent, which is the true image of the youth in the new era.

45. 家长给正在上小学的孩子报名语数外课外辅导班，甚至是一些奥数班，书法班，绘画班，艺术班称“赢在起跑线”，于是越来越多的家长害怕自己的孩子不如人，便陆续效仿；

45. Parents register their elementary school children for extra-curricular辅导 classes in subjects such as Chinese, math, and foreign languages, as well as some special math classes, calligraphy classes, painting classes, and art classes, with the slogan "winning at the starting line." Consequently, more and more parents fear that their children may not be as good as others, and they begin to follow suit.

46. 时代轮替中，始终不变的是青年的身姿；历史坐标上，始终清晰的是青年的步伐。愿中国青年摆脱恶性竞争，只是向上走，有一份力，发一份光。

46. In the changing of the times, what remains constant is the posture of the youth; on the historical coordinate, what is always clear is the steps of the youth. May Chinese youth rise above恶性 competition, and only move upwards, with each strength they possess, shining a light.

47. 到了工作之后就不会卷了吗？依然卷，原本朝九晚五的工作，有人愿意加班到七点，有人可以加班到八点，但是最终留下的可能是那个加班到十点的人，人们被他人制造焦虑的同时，也在给他人制造焦虑。于是世界多是带给我们一种无力感，面对内卷我们只能被迫接受，并潜移默化的认同它是社会体制的必然和人性的本能。

47. Won't you stop being competitive after starting work? You still are. The original 9-to-5 job now has some people willing to work overtime until 7 PM, and others can work until 8 PM, but the one who ultimately stays might be the one who works until 10 PM. While people are being anxious by others, they are also creating anxiety for others. Thus, the world often gives us a sense of powerlessness, and in the face of competition, we are forced to accept it and subtly agree that it is an inevitable part of the social system and an innate part of human nature.

48. 人生就像一场旅行，我们是来享受旅行的快乐的，不是来赶时间的。慢慢走，慢慢悟，慢慢看，慢慢欣赏，在天地之间释放自己，在美景之中陶醉自己，在人间烟火里取悦自己，千万不要着急忙慌的，这个景点的大门还没有跨进去，又惦记着下一个地方。下一个地方还没有尽兴，又要急匆匆赶往下一个驿站。那么你不是来人间找快乐的，而是来自讨苦吃的。

48. Life is like a journey; we are here to enjoy the joy of traveling, not to rush time. Walk slowly, understand slowly, look slowly, appreciate slowly, release yourself amidst the heavens and the earth, immerse yourself in the beauty, please yourself amidst the hustle and bustle of human life, and never be in a hurry. The gate of this attraction has not been crossed yet, and you are already thinking about the next place. The next place has not been fully enjoyed, and you are in a hurry to head to the next stop. Then, you are not here to seek happiness in the human world, but rather to subject yourself to suffering.

49. 很多人或许并不知道内卷是什么，不知道人分三六九等是为何是公认的道理，只知道盲目的模仿，从众的内卷，付出比别人更多的努力可以付的起下月的账单，可以得到周围人的认可，可以顺应他人的期望。

49. Many people may not know what "involution" is, and they may not understand why it is a widely accepted notion that people are divided into three or nine categories. They only know about blindly imitating, participating in the involution by conforming to the crowd, and putting in more effort than others so that they can afford the next month's bills, gain recognition from those around them, and meet others' expectations.

50. 发自己的光，不必熄别人的灯。在探索中得到遵从本心的答案，寻找生活的幸福，不妨多出去看看，培养自己的兴趣爱好，好好的享受当下的大学生活，去爱，去学习，去生活。

50. Shine your own light, without extinguishing others' lights. In the process of exploration, seek answers to your true heart, pursue happiness in life. Don't hesitate to go out more often, cultivate your own hobbies and interests, and fully enjoy the college life. Go to love, go to learn, go to live.

51. 不要操心任何人，哪怕是你的亲人，哪怕是你的父母和子女。做好自己该做的事情，尽好自己该尽的责任，他们会有什么样的结果，老天自有安排。

51. Don't worry about anyone, not even your relatives, not even your parents and children. Do what you are supposed to do, fulfill your responsibilities as you should, and whatever results they may have, it is all predestined by the heavens.
