Why did you choose to go to university?
Isn't this about finding a quality job?I think I'm in pretty good shape at the moment.
I was deeply shocked by Sun Xiaoning, a 19-year-old temporary bookshop worker, who spoke for the first time after failing the college entrance examination.
This reminds me of the idea that reading is useless advocated by many people.
I was born in a rural area, and when I was still in junior high school, my friends in the village also participated in the school. But when I was in high school, almost no one chose to go to school with me, and most of them went to Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other metropolises in search of job opportunities.
She is the only high school student in the village and a girl at the same time, so she is ridiculed by the village.
They often mention that it is not so easy to get into a university, and there has never been a college student in our village, but what they actually want to express is that I am the leper who wants to eat swan meat.
Then, the conversation suddenly changed and they began to discuss which family's son and family's daughter went to work in a factory in Guangzhou or Shenzhen, and how much they could earn in a month.
When they make such remarks, they do not show any malice, but rather out of concern and persuasion for you.
They believe in their bones that it is the responsibility of urban children to get into college, and that rural children should not have too many illusions.
In rural areas, many parents do not even dare to imagine that their children will go to university, so many children choose to drop out of school and devote themselves to working after completing primary and secondary school.
In their concept, this path is the right and the only path, and life will only change for the better if you come out early to make money.
I was later accepted into the university, and although they were envious, they said with a hint of sourness that today's college students are also facing difficulties in finding employment.
I still vividly remember that during the first Chinese New Year after I graduated, my cousin learned that my monthly salary was only more than 1,000 yuan, and he commented with some irony: "Does it really make sense to go to college?"Spending so much money is not even as much as I could have earned working alone."
Then, I became the opposite of their envy and comfort at the same time, and even became the best example of a child who did not go to school and dropped out of school to work.
In their mindset, by studying and entering university, their ultimate goal is to find a dream job.
They are completely unaware of the intrinsic value that going to college can bring to a person. In addition to the shift in their mindset and the broadening of their horizons, their life values are also quietly changing.
When faced with problems, we should not just judge black and white, but analyze them from a dialectical point of view.
Now, the attitude towards work has moved beyond simply working to make money, to making your own career development plan.
Nowadays, the way people approach life is no longer as simple as their parents' generation, marrying and raising children. Rather than a simple pursuit, it has a unique life goal, life blueprint and values.
The attitude towards learning has gone beyond the boundaries of just leaving school to complete the school, but to continue to improve oneself and adhere to the principle of "learning and living to be old" at every stage of life.
For college graduates who have just entered the workforce, their salary may be much lower than that of many part-time workers, but you will notice that as a part-time worker, their salary level will always remain at a stable level and will not change for many years, while the salary level of college students will increase significantly.
After two to three years of continuous efforts, their salaries will increase in tandem. Over time, the differences between the two will gradually widen, mainly because of their significant differences in mindset, cognitive level, and learning ability.
There are many things that you don't tell him directly, and it's only when he gets to that place himself that he really understands the meaning.
As an excellent example, after four years of work, my salary has exceeded 8,000 yuan, which was considered quite high at the time.
I built a new house at home and gave my mother 30,000 yuan, and my sister-in-law commented enviously that college students live better and earn more.
She was only envious for a moment, but she didn't really understand the deep meaning of the phrase "education changes life" that we often mentioned. Her grades in school were excellent. Her attitude towards the learning of her two children is still like herding sheep, and she sticks to her principles regardless of whether the children are learning or not.
She never realized that she needed to motivate the children, inspire them, and make them study hard to succeed in college and thus change the course of her life.
My sister-in-law's family had two children, none of whom had completed junior high school, so they both chose to drop out, one of them went to Zhengzhou to work, while the other chose Guangzhou.
This is indeed a feeling of helplessness, pity, and even a feeling of hatred and hatred.
In fact, over the years, the villagers have come to realize that going to university is the only way to change the fate of their children, and it is also the most direct way.
They have this awareness and expect their children to succeed in college, but unfortunately, most of them do not translate this awareness into action, and only a very small number of parents actually translate this awareness into action.
In the past few years, several university students in the village have been admitted to the school, and although they are envious of it, they have maintained their original selves.
They still believe in their hearts that getting into college is a difficult task, and even getting into high school doesn't guarantee success. Not being able to get into college would be a useless waste of years of their time, as well as a lot of money. Therefore, they prefer to drop out of school early to work and go outside to earn money.
Many people hold such a view, so they choose to go out to work on their own, and their children also go out to work, but when it comes to their grandchildren, they still choose to go out to work and earn a meager income through ** labor, and they have struggled all their lives on the yellow earth, trying to maintain basic living needs.
You think they're really pathetic, really pathetic, but you think they're really pathetic, really pathetic.
Although they have the opportunity to change their fate, they are only satisfied with earning an income by working part-time and living a carefree and happy life for the time being, but they have paid the hard work and price of their lives.
Having an attitude of being content with the status quo and being content with life is not only an attitude towards life, but also an open-minded state of mind.
Merely being satisfied with the status quo and contentment does not mean a lack of initiative, which represent two very different perspectives and philosophies of life.
Many people mistakenly think that they are content with the current situation and lack of initiative, and Sun Xiaoning is a representative of this character.
Her failure in the college entrance examination was only 6 points short, which was really heart-wrenching, Shao Jingwen felt deep regret for her, and hoped that she could make a clear study plan, continue to take the exam, and work hard to enter the university.
Zhou Bingkun did not hesitate to spend money on books, encouraging her to study hard, hoping to enter the university.
Shao Jingwen and Zhou Bingkun both know the true meaning of entering a universityThey are all worried about their fate, they are all glad that they can be a good student, and they are all proud that they can be admitted to university. They were all on her side wholeheartedly.
Regrettably, she was content with her current situation, lacked initiative, ignored the advice of others, and made statements that felt unacceptable.
Sun Xiaoning is destined to become an ordinary person, not only because she lacks vision and voluntarily gives up the opportunity to change her fate, but also because she lacks initiative.
Sun Xiaoning, like many ordinary people, lacks a long-term vision, does not know how to plan for their future, is only satisfied with the status quo, lives an ordinary life, and lacks the motivation to move forward.
When someone shows them the way forward and plans a better life path for them, they lack the spirit of going all out, they are afraid of wolves and tigers, so they lose the opportunity to change their destiny, and they have been spinning in circles and unable to come out again.
If you want to live a better life in life, then you should give it your all when you need to work hard, and give it your all when you need to work hard.
A good life is achieved through unremitting efforts and struggles, and there is no sudden good fortune or easy success.
We must be convinced that "the fragrance of plum blossoms emanates from the cold".
