First-class talents are in academia, and second-rate talents are in industry.
Academia and industry, two very different fields, each with its own unique rules and rules of the game.
In academia, the pursuit is the innovation and breakthrough of knowledge. Even though there is fierce competition, the principle of openness and fairness is upheld. Two people who used to work together may become partners and colleagues in the afternoon. Academia appears to be calm and peaceful, but in fact it is full of enthusiasm and competition for the exploration of the unknown.
In the industrial world, the pursuit is product innovation and market share. All competitions are open to the public. The two companies, which were still fiercely competing in the morning, may become partners in the afternoon.
Knowledge and products are two completely different concepts. Knowledge is often accompanied by innovation, but not everyone who has innovation can turn that knowledge into a product.
This real world is brutal and complex, with academia and industry each running their own rules. The exploration of knowledge and the innovation of products are intertwined in people's lives, forming complex social relations.
Academia and industry are different, and everyone is fighting for their own innovation and status. In this competitive world, people often need to adapt and understand these rules in order to survive and succeed in reality.
This is the side of reality, and although it is brutal, it cannot be avoided.
