How did Nick become successful in seven years of life?

"Seven Years in the Life", also known as 7up, was filmed by the British BBC TV station over a period of more than 50 years and has not yet been completed. The documentary was filmed in 1964 and records the changes of 14 7-year-old children every 7 years. These 14 children were born in completely different family environments. Some of them came from elite families in the upper class, some from ordinary middle-class families, and some from families at the bottom of society or even orphanages.

Director Michael Apted’s original intention was to review their lives through interviews every seven years. After that, every seven years, Apted would re-interview these children and listen to their stories. their dreams and talk about their lives.

"Seven Years in the Life" tells us that this may be the only chance for ordinary people to "counterattack"

The cycle of life begins with the real life of these fourteen seven-year-old children. Their innocent faces are full of longing and longing for life.

"Seven years old to see old age", in this childish question and answer, life is seven years after another, shockingly staged.

However, this is a cruel world. After 50 years, what will happen to these children?

Those children from upper-class elite families graduate from aristocratic schools in an orderly manner and enter Cambridge and Oxford universities, and then become famous lawyers and writers. Their careers rise all the way, entering politics, or founding companies, or becoming A well-known producer who lives a privileged life in the upper class.

Children from poor areas, without exception, drop out of school early and start working to make money. They get married early, have children early, and are the first group of people to become grandparents. , and they also have many descendants, but their descendants, like them, have not received much education and are engaged in low-end jobs, such as repairmen, security guards or cleaners.

Among all the poor children, only a boy named Nick relied on a scholarship to study in a private boarding school, get admitted to Oxford University, and finally immigrated to the United States and became a university professor.

We are all 14 lively and smart children. What caused their different life destinies?

I think it is education. Education can really change a person. Maybe different times, different classes, and different environments will shape different people, but this is life.

Does it mean that children born in ordinary families have no hope of counterattack?

Of course not. In this documentary, we see Nick, a child from a poor family, successfully break through, jump out of the class framework, and enter the upper class society.

However, did Nick really rely on "hard work" to complete the counterattack?

Actually not.

The real reason is his enthusiasm for physics and his persistence in his ideals since he was a child!

When he was 7 years old, he dreamed of exploring the mysteries of the moon, and then promoted He studied physics harder; at the age of 21, he was admitted to the Oxford Physics Department; later, he immigrated to the United States with the dream of promoting the development of nuclear physics... Although his talent did not support him to go further, he finally became a university graduate. Physics professor, but he has completed class crossing!

Therefore, establishing correct values ??and ideals will help us always work towards our goals.

The kind of person you may become depends on your hobbies.

For example: If you like singing, your goal may be to be a singer.

If you like literature, your goal may be to be a writer.

You like to draw, and your goal may be to be a painter.

You like managing people, and your goal may be to be an entrepreneur.

If you like money, then your goal is to become a rich person and work hard for it.

Poor people who lack planning and goal awareness. Even if he was given a chance, he wouldn't realize it was an opportunity.

Poor people who can plan their own lives just don’t have money now, but that doesn’t mean they won’t have money in the future.

In the era of self-media, those who are poor today may be rich tomorrow.
