Recently, Dong Mingzhu, chairman of Gree Electric Appliances, delivered a speech at the company's 2023 college student induction ceremony, warning college students that "don't learn from Meng Yutong, money is not a dream", which attracted widespread attention. This warning has become a hot topic of discussion, making people think about the relationship between money and dreams.
As an iconic employee who once worked in Gree, Meng Yutong's resignation and Ms. Dong Mingzhu's remarks have sparked a lot of discussions. Meng Yutong, who graduated from Zhejiang University with a major in Spanish, was favored by Ms. Dong Mingzhu for her excellent work ability, but eventually chose to leave Gree and seek other development opportunities. Dong Mingzhu said that Meng Yutong left because of her lack of professional ethics and literacy, and emphasized the importance of money not pursuit. However, unexpectedly, in the comment area, many college students did not agree with Dong Mingzhu's point of view, saying that making money is one of their pursuits.
The relationship between money and dreams has always been debated. Dong Mingzhu's warning has sparked a reflection on money and the pursuit of dreams. Students' pursuits may vary depending on their social class and personal background, with some prioritizing earning money and making a living, while others aim to achieve self-worth and pursue their personal ideals.
With the development of China's economy and the promotion of education popularization, more and more students have obtained more opportunities and resources through higher education. Excellent college students have a high competitiveness for the company, and their ability and way of thinking will also be valued. In particular, post-00 college graduates have received a more open and diversified education, and they are more independent in their thinking and pursue individuality. However, Dong Mingzhu's warning has aroused doubts and dissatisfaction among many college students.
Meng Yutong's resignation became the focus of the discussion. As a young employee who has attracted much attention, Meng Yutong's departure has caused a lot of speculation and rumors. According to employees, Meng Yutong did not leave voluntarily, but was fired because of repeated absenteeism. Ms. Dong Mingzhu questioned Meng Yutong's character and ability in public, saying that he pursued money rather than dreams.
As a graduate of Zhejiang University majoring in Spanish, Meng Yutong was once photographed by Ms. Dong Mingzhu and was invited to join Gree Electric Appliances and was regarded as a future person. However, Meng Yutong chose to leave his job soon after, and said that it was for graduate school entrance examination and studying abroad. As for the real reason for Meng Yutong's resignation, the outside world has different opinions.
At Gree's 2023 college student induction ceremony, Dong Mingzhu once again mentioned Meng Yutong and warned college students that "don't learn from Meng Yutong, money is not a dream". However, this view has been questioned and opposed by many college students. They believe that making money is not only a pursuit, but also a means to realize their own value and change their destiny.
University students generally agree with Ms. Dong Mingzhu's views, but some students also support Meng Yutong. They believe that in a low-paying, competitive employment environment, there is nothing wrong with pursuing money. For some students from poor families, solving the problem of food and clothing is the most urgent need.
For college students, money and dreams are not completely opposites. Money is a means to achieve dreams and an affirmation of personal worth. In the real world, it is difficult to have more choices and opportunities without money. Only through continuous efforts and struggles can we realize our ideals and dreams.
However, money is not the only criterion to pursue, personal dreams and pursuits are also crucial. College students should have a clear goal and pursuit, but also recognize that money is not everything, it cannot replace the true pursuit and satisfaction of the heart. Only by finding the field that you are really interested in and good at, and working hard to learn and forge ahead on this basis, can you realize your dreams.
In the face of Dong Mingzhu's warning and controversy in the comment area, college students need to think more deeply. In an increasingly competitive society, money and dreams are not two completely opposite concepts. Students should weigh the relationship between money and dreams according to their actual situation and pursuits. When choosing a job and direction of development, it is important to consider not only the monetary return, but also your own interests and talents, as well as your contribution and impact on society.
At the same time, college students should also maintain a certain pattern and bearing, consider multiple aspects when making decisions and choices, and do not blindly chase money or blindly pursue dreams. It is necessary to maintain an understanding of the development trends of society and the workplace, and constantly learn and improve their abilities to adapt and integrate into the changing reality.
All in all, money and dreams are important considerations in the life of college students. Everyone has their own pursuits and values, and they should weigh the relationship between money and dreams wisely according to their own situation and goals, and make choices and decisions that suit them. At the same time, we should maintain a positive and enterprising attitude, continue to learn and grow, and create more opportunities and possibilities to realize our dreams and pursuits.
