The next year, Liang Shi tried his hand again, but failed again. Shi entered a technical school, but was forced to leave it.
For many years, the man worked as a simple laborer and from time to time tried to make a "gaokao". Every time without success. At some point, he could not continue his attempts because he reached the age limit. In 2001, the government lifted the age limit, and Mr. Shi revived his dream.
However, the lack of higher education did not prevent his professional growth. On the contrary, Shi was able to save money and open his own building materials factory. Thanks to his business, the man became a millionaire.
Але він продовжував вважати, що не може вважатися повністю щасливим, поки не вступить до бажаного університету. Тому протягом останніх років пан Ши повністю відмовився від алкоголю та інших розваг, повністю присвятивши себе підготовці до іспиту.
Over the course of 40 years, Liang Shi passed the exam 26 times. And this year, the moment of his 27th attempt came. The exam lasted two days, and 13 million people took part in it simultaneously in the country to test their strength. When the results were announced, Liang was anxious and worried. And his result was ... negative.
The 56-year-old millionaire decided not to try to pass the exam anymore and to abandon his dream.
Should all goals be achieved? Are we giving too much weight to some moments? Is there only one way to success in life?
