Chapter 158 Why can’t we change our fate?
In the next few days, after get off work every day, Shen Yunshu spent her time looking for ideas in solving problems, and then creating questions based on her ideas.

While in school during the day, she began to train her students' listening skills.

Students all like Shen Yunshu's foreign language classes.

Although they had not done the test papers yet, they always felt that they could understand Shen Yunshu's lessons quickly and remember them well.

I also feel that if they take the test again and do the papers, maybe their grades will improve.

but……

However, they have no confidence in this joint entrance examination.

"We participated in it last year, and together with Class 2 next door, we took the last two places."

"Actually, if I can, I don't really want to participate. I feel like the outcome is already determined."

Each grade in the high school will participate in a joint examination competition every semester.

Last semester was the first time they participated in the joint entrance examination after entering high school.

The bonuses and rewards of the joint entrance examination are quite tempting.

At that time, they also participated with full confidence.

Unfortunately, the final result dealt a heavy blow to their self-confidence.

Their class is second to last.

Class 2 next door is the last one.

Tragic, too tragic!
Before that, they were still thinking about whether they had the chance to get bonuses and rewards.

They were very disappointed with the result, but the school leaders at that time and Mr. Yu, who taught them foreign languages, tried to comfort them with a calm expression.

They thought: Perhaps the school leaders and Teacher Yu already knew what the results would be for their level in that joint examination competition.

So they were not surprised to see such a result.

No wonder, before the joint entrance examination, Teacher Yu and school leaders told them not to feel stressed.

It turns out that there is no use having pressure.

The results can't be improved at all.

Perhaps it was because I had expectations before, and because the expectations were greatly disappointed.

Therefore, the first and second classes in high school are somewhat reluctant about the upcoming joint entrance examination.

However, you must participate.

As long as they study in this school and are a part of this school, they have to participate.

Just ...

Seeing that Teacher Shen seemed to be interested in training them, they chose to tell the truth to the new teacher Shen.

"…Our grades last semester were like this, so, Mr. Shen, don't be too stressed. The results will be like this anyway."

"Our main concern is participation. No matter what results we achieve, the school leaders will not blame you."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Shen. Our foundation is poor to begin with, and you have only been teaching us for a short time. Even if our results in the joint examination are still unsatisfactory, it has nothing to do with you."

The students tried to comfort Shen Yunshu, fearing that she would feel stressed because of the joint entrance examination.

Because they have seen Teacher Shen preparing for the joint entrance examination many times, and even in class, he would talk about it and teach them certain knowledge points, how to use them in the examination, and what aspects and knowledge points the joint entrance examination will focus on.

There is also an increase in listening skills recently.

Shen Yunshu looked at the boys and girls in front of her. She could tell from their eyes and expressions that they were concerned about her, but also that they didn't care about this joint examination.

Perhaps, it’s not that it doesn’t matter, but that one is powerless knowing the predetermined outcome.

It's like a person who already knows his future destiny. No matter how hard he tries now, the result still can't be changed. It's like the feeling of indifference after powerlessness. But...

Shen Yunshu stared at them and said, "Actually, I'm fine."

Shen Yunshu didn't feel much pressure.

Although she really wanted to find out the real cause of death of the original owner's parents from the system by completing this mission.

But she won't put too much pressure on herself.

She works hard but doesn't demand a certain result from herself.

She just tells herself to try harder, make more effort, and then calmly accept the result.

And after working hard, no matter what the result is, good or bad, she can bear it.

Although she seemed to be working very hard to prepare for the joint entrance examination during this period, she was only doing what she could within her ability.

She didn't ask too much of herself.

That is, Shen Yunshu was a little surprised by the students' positioning of themselves.

"Do you think your class and Class 2 will definitely be last and second to last?" Shen Yunshu asked.

"Teacher Shen, it's not what we think, it's just that the previous results were like this."

Shen Yunshu nodded, "But you also said that those were previous results, not current ones."

Shen Yunshu stared at them and said earnestly: "Each of us is growing up. Never look at yourself now with the eyes of the past."

“Don’t judge yourself by your past achievements.”

“Don’t judge your future self by your past or present achievements.”

"Because grades aren't everything."

“A person’s grades do not represent his entire life. Good grades do not mean that a person is successful, nor do they represent what kind of person he is.”

"Previous results do not represent the present. We cannot stop working hard just because we think the results are similar to the previous ones."

"Besides, even if we know what fate is, why ..."

Shen Yunshu paused and said, "Why can't we change our fate?"

"Never let any external labels limit your efforts and development, okay?"

"Just follow me and keep training hard. Don't think about the results first, just enjoy the fun of struggle."

"Then you will fall in love with yourself who works hard."

Shen Yunshu's words may be like chicken soup for the soul to people who have been bombarded with information in the 21st century. However, people who have lived in modern times may be dismissive or even sneer at these words.

But for the students who were in the first year of high school in 1977 and were cut off from information, these words made them stunned for a moment.

Then, my heart began to surge.

The teacher said, don’t use your past self and grades to judge your present self and grades.

It is said that the quality of a person’s grades does not represent whether he is successful or not.

She also said that even if we knew what our destiny was, why couldn't we change it?
No one knew how much shock Shen Yunshu's words had given them.

It’s like a person who has always been denied by others, even by himself, and told that he is not capable.

But now a person appears and tells them firmly, you can do it!

Defy fate and change your destiny.

These four words made their blood boil at this moment.

Until they left Shen Yunshu's office, they were still thinking about what Shen Yunshu said.
