However, after the test results came out, this person who had no hope in everyone's eyes got the highest score. It turned out that after Charles came to this company after graduation, he found that there were many opportunities to interact with French people at work.

In the years to come, they will travel on their own life journeys. Twenty-five years later, Harvard conducted another follow-up survey on this group of students.
The result is this: 3% of people have worked tirelessly in one direction for 25 years, and almost all of them have become successful people from all walks of life, including many industry leaders and social elites; 10% of them have Their short-term goals are continuously achieved
and they become professionals in various fields, and most of them live in the middle and upper classes of society; 60% of people live and work stably, but None of them have any special achievements, and almost all live in the middle and lower classes of society; the remaining 27% have no goals in their lives, live a very unsatisfactory life, and often complain about others and society, of course. , also complaining about myself.
In fact, the only difference between them is: 25 years ago, some of them already knew what they wanted to do most
while others Unclear or not very clear. This survey vividly illustrates the importance of clarifying life goals for success in life.
