I'm almost 30 years old, I don't have a formal job, I have been committed to the graduate school entrance examination after graduating from the bachelor's degree, and I have also taken the civil service exam several times during the period, but I have failed every year, ten years of hard study have not brought me much wealth, I once thought that I was already at the bottom of the society, until August last year, I went out for a walk after dinner, and met a former high school classmate, I was at the same table with her for a while in high school, she is now a doctoral student at 985 University, she just came home from summer vacation, When I saw her, I was still thinking about how to escape, but she actually called my name, and then asked me if I was working in **, I smiled awkwardly and told her that I was still preparing for the graduate school entrance examination, I said and said, unconsciously came to a sentence, "I finished college, I am already a college student, I am still at the bottom of the society, you say, what's the use of studying?" As a result, her words really made me feel empowered.
She said, after graduating from college, how much will you get paid for your first job? 3,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan, or 7,000 yuan? Let me tell you, some stalls and snacks sell their monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan, which sounds very enviable. Actually, this is not complicated, and basically everyone can do it. Do you feel like you're superior and superior to these people? Not really. The common denominator of these people is that they lack the ability to think and are ignorant of the reasons behind things. For example, an uncle said that he made more and more money, but he felt that he would never have enough, but he never looked into the reasons for this. Another aunt told me that her child was very rebellious, had poor grades, and skipped class every day, but she never tried to understand the reasons behind her child's behavior. Another example is the people who work hard to save up to buy a house, but they never realize that there may be many problems with the house they are buying, and they may never get out of it, because these traps are designed for people like them.
She said, have you ever seen some people who set up stalls who have worked hard for several years, but they are still standing still, wanting to change, but they don't know what to do? They want to try something new like TikTok, but they don't know where to start. The dilemma for these people is that even if they make some money, they don't know how to plan and use it properly. For example, they may provide a child with a book but do not know how to properly educate the child. Some people don't even understand the basic concepts of financial management, let alone how it works. And those who went to college are different. While they may still have a lot to ignore, they have the ability to make a difference, understand new knowledge, and find solutions. Some college students choose to set up stalls, and their way of thinking is significantly more open and advanced. When it comes to life goals, they can realize that they should not have children blindly and realize that living with low desires can help them avoid falling into the inflation trap.
Hearing her words, I kept thinking. Indeed, the state has provided us with a relatively fair institutional environment, and as an individual, you already have the greatest potential: the ability to learn and think. I didn't realize this and didn't know how to make good use of this **. Perhaps in the coming decades, only truly exceptional people will stand out from the competition. Finishing college is just a starting point in life. In the face of real-world challenges and opportunities, we need to keep learning, thinking, and growing.
