Chapter 1759: Chapter 1323: Competing With Yesterday’s Self_2

To Ming Han’s words, Ming Wei responded breezily, "Why do I have to wait for a man to marry me? Can’t I marry a man and bring him home instead? Or maybe just being by myself isn’t fabulous enough?"

The siblings kept bantering back and forth, neither willing to admit defeat, all the way until they got home, still with no clear winner.

"Mom!"

"Hmm?"

"Your precious grown-up daughter just got third place again, I’m so heartbroken!"

"It’s okay, having drive is already great. And it’s not that you’re not good; it’s that while you’re working hard, the first and second place are also working just as hard. Just try to see it in a positive light."

"First place is my second brother, and second place is Xi Jingyu. Those two seem to have locked up the top two spots forever—they never give anyone else a chance to sit up there."

Kang Li listened to Ming Wei’s complaints, laughter all but overflowing in her eyes. She asked, "Have you checked your grades?"

"I did."

Ming Wei answered without hesitation.

"Did you notice anything from the report card? Like compared to last time—your total score, or each subject’s results—did you improve or slip back?"

Kang Li asked, smiling.

Ming Wei tilted her head to think, then replied, "The total score is eight points higher than last time, and every subject went up."

"Got it now?"

Kang Li asked again.

"..."

Ming Wei looked puzzled—what am I supposed to get?

"Silly girl, your scores improved, which means you beat the you from last exam. Aren’t you happy?"

"Yeah."

"If you’re happy, then why were you complaining just now?"

"..."

"Vivi, the goal is to do your best and compare yourself to who you were before, not to other people. That way, your heart will stay open, you’ll tell if you’re improving, and you’ll know what to do next. But if you keep comparing to others, after a while you’ll only feel exhausted and unsatisfied, with all kinds of negative emotions piling up until they crush you. You’ll end up overlooking all your hard work and progress, and fail to see you’re not any worse than anyone else. Do you think that’s good?"

"No."

"So what are you going to do from now on?"

"Compare myself to who I was yesterday."

"Very good. Are you feeling better now?"

"Yeah."

"My daughter is really smart!"

Kang Li rubbed Ming Wei’s head, her face beaming with warmth. "Alright, go pack up your things in your room, in three days we’re heading back to our hometown."

"I’m on it!"

Ming Wei immediately grinned ear to ear and dashed toward her side room.

Since the courtyard house near Shuimu University was pretty spacious, and had lots of rooms, all the kids in the family, big or small, naturally had their own rooms.

Of course, Loh En had his own room too.
