Chapter 28: Adversity

本就没有多少时间休息。

Graduation would equate to unemployment if she didn''t dedicate herself entirely to studying her major.

若是不拿出百分百的认真去好好学习专业知识，毕业就等同于失业了。

Hence, she has always been a diligent, hardworking girl, an exemplary student, and a dedicated employee.

所以她一直都是那个勤奋努力的姑娘，一直是那个品学兼优的学生，一直是一个勤奋工作的员工。

Typically, women retire at 50, or in certain cases, at 55. She is almost 30, has already completed more than half of her career, and only a few decades remain.

正常情况下，女生是50岁，特殊情况下才是55岁。她已经快30岁了，她的职业生涯已经过了多半，还只剩下20几年了。

For nearly a decade, she has fought tenaciously in the professional arena, during the most vibrant years of her life, from 20 to 30. She exerted herself relentlessly, embracing her grandest dreams, enduring hardships, and never succumbing to fatigue.

她在职场中奋斗了近十年，人生中的最美年华，精力最充沛的年纪，20岁-30岁，她如此的拼搏，怀抱着人生最大的梦想，不辞辛苦，不觉疲劳。

Yet, her accomplishments in the workplace have remained merely average.

可是她在职场中的收获也依然不过如此。

The path of the workplace, or rather, life itself, is a challenging one. If you want to continue progressing and moving uphill, you will find that the journey is arduous, as difficult as reaching for the sky. It''s so slow that you begin to doubt whether you''re making any progress.

职场这条路啊，不，是人生你若想一直走上坡路，你会发现行路难，难于上青天；前进慢，慢得你怀疑自己到底有没有在前进。
