Chapter 329 Being bullied?
In this beautiful university, Song Tingnan felt surrounded by talented people. She deeply understood and practiced the principles of "not using one's strengths to overshadow others, not using one's virtues to make others look bad, and not using one's many abilities to trap others. Conceal one's talents and wisdom, and appear humble and unassuming."
"When you see someone virtuous, think of emulating them; when you see someone not virtuous, reflect on your own shortcomings." Lacking impressive resources or connections, she could only rely on herself and work even harder. Everyone else was full of energy and had clear goals and plans, so she couldn't afford to slack off.
Of course, there is also competition here, because resources are also limited. From small-scale debates organized by the school, where debaters on both sides participate in activities with professors, to large-scale exchange students going abroad, where there are limited spots, what should be done?
Strengthen and enrich yourself, wait patiently for the right opportunity, and strive for it. Song Tingnan knew she was no saint who could 'help others achieve their goals,' but she also understood that her inner strength was currently insufficient, so she shouldn't engage in pointless struggles.
After settling down, she ran errands for her seniors, helped organize materials, learned from them, discarded the dross and kept the essence, and would also offer some of her own small suggestions. Over time, she became a familiar face, and the professors also knew that there was such a high-quality freshman as 'Song Tingnan'.
To become a diplomat, besides extensive knowledge, eloquence, and interpersonal skills, 'character' is also crucial. Because this is a career concerning national interests, security, and honor, one must possess strong political awareness and ideological qualities, as well as a clean family background. Therefore, the selection process for diplomats is extremely rigorous.
Song Tingnan has always had her own principles. She knows how to be humble and yielding, and she doesn't mind helping others when compassion and kindness are needed. But she will never be a pushover.
Along her journey, she has earned more resources and care through her hard work and determination. She also knows that life is a precarious path, and any arrogance will lead to missed opportunities. Therefore, she absorbs new knowledge like a sponge, always maintaining a curious, inquisitive, and enterprising spirit.
She didn't have many friends, only two or three. She turned down all those pointless social interactions. In the eyes of most of her classmates, she wasn't someone to mess with, and they didn't want to talk to her unless it was something important.
As long as you can get along peacefully with your roommates, that's fine. Some of them study hard and strive for success, while others strive for something else—they want to take shortcuts to get ahead and marry into a wealthy family in a big city.
As for who's luring whom, and who will fall into this sugar-coated trap, Song Tingnan uncovered it several times using her "lip reading" skills. She saw through it but didn't expose it, not because she was cold-hearted, but because persuading someone to change requires methods, and Tingnan considered herself lacking in cultivation, so she respected individual fate.
No one can change another person's fate. If we do help someone, it's their opportunity and good fortune. Some people hit a wall earlier, but they still have a chance to start over.
Song Tingnan has never been a gentle person. Trying to manipulate her is like trying to prick your hand!
One day, Song Tingnan rushed into her Russian class as usual, but as soon as she entered the classroom, someone snatched her backpack from her right shoulder. Tingnan was startled. She had no friends in this class, so no one should be playing pranks on her. Her backpack contained materials and notes borrowed from the library.
She glanced around and saw several classmates laughing and passing her schoolbag, trying to snatch it, only to have it thrown to the other side, the whole classroom in chaos.
She couldn't take it by herself. Song Tingnan squinted at the girl who made the first move, stepped forward, grabbed her by the neck, and said sternly, "Make everyone stop, or you'll regret it."
