However, sometimes we see something else.
First of all, let's talk about what everyone believes. I told an inspirational story under the light of civilization.
A long time ago, there was a poor worker in England who had never been to school since childhood. When he was a teenager, he couldn't write his own name, but he was always eager to learn. Every time after work, others go to drink, but he uses his off-duty time to receive a public education (education for the poor) in Britain at his own expense. Two years later, he learned to write his own name. At the age of 2 1, he learned to write letters. Later, he married a maid many years older than himself and gave birth to a child. Unfortunately, however, his wife died and he had to raise the children alone.
Because he works in a mine, mine accidents often happen, so he researched and invented the safety light. However, a British scientist named Sir David invented something similar at that time. They fought a lawsuit for years for the invention patent. Because Dr. David is very famous, the result will go away.
In this way, our hero is really unlucky. However, he doesn't care about these gains and losses, and always does his own thing with peace of mind and accompanies his son to school.
His name is Stephenson, and he is known as the father of trains in history. He invented our train system today, from the railway to the nose.
This is a good example of education changing fate. I think you must have heard many similar stories when you were young, so we chose to believe that education can change our destiny.
Let's get back to reality. At the beginning of this year, there was a hot discussion about the Beijing school district on the Internet. A couple from Tsinghua Peking University, unable to afford a school district in Beijing, left Beijing and moved to a second-and third-tier city. Netizens said that graduates from Qingbei could not afford to buy school districts. What will the children do in Tsinghua Peking University in the future?
It seems that from this perspective, education has not changed fate.
On the one hand, we say that education changes fate, but we find that there is a kind of "educational uselessness". Some people say that there must be something wrong with education. The question is parents or students in the school? There may be all these reasons, but what is more important may be that we need to look at this problem from a different angle and perspective.
The imbalance of educational resources is a worldwide problem, not only in China. From today's China, a decent middle school in a third-tier city may have better education level, higher teachers and better experimental conditions than many Beijing high schools 30 years ago, but China still has the best universities and the best middle schools, and your children may not be admitted.
In other words, although our overall education level is constantly rising, educational resources will always be a pyramid situation, and the top ones will always be difficult to enter. This is a reality, and everyone should recognize it. Some parents say that I must send my children to Tsinghua, which may make them work hard, and even if I go to Tsinghua, it doesn't mean that I will become the kind of person my parents hope in the future.
Now, there is another complaint about "class solidification". If education can't change our destiny, will our class solidify? Class solidification "This matter has to be seen this way: the upward channel is bound to be difficult, and the downward door is always open." Therefore, you can't say that it must be solidified, so sometimes don't complain that you didn't go up. You may not be bad at maintaining the existing class, and there are various reasons not to go up.
Say an old saying-"the rich depend on life, and the poor depend on luck." Maybe you think this is "fate". When I finish, you will know that I am not talking about fate. If many people are educated only by exam results, they may have some unlucky "lives" in the future, so at that time, your life will be fixed.
Two years ago, there was a man named "financial crocodile" in Shanghai. I met him a few days ago, and he asked me, "I didn't know how much money I had than Ma Yun in 2000, but today my money hasn't increased much. What's wrong? " Because he graduated from primary school, I said because you don't study. What's the use of reading? What's the use of learning mathematical beauty? I said, how much have you learned in math? He said it was enough that I could count now.
He is a person who does well in stock trading. At that time, he proudly told me: I can only add, because I want to increase my wealth, and I can't subtract. Then I said: If you are unlucky, you are unlucky here. Why didn't Ma Yun have money like you in 2000, but now he has more money than you? Because Ma Yun is doing multiplication and you are doing addition, Ma Yun's annual wealth increases by 50% times 1.5, which is a major event after more than ten years. You do addition there every day.
One of his heavy stocks is Changhong, once the second largest shareholder of Changhong. Without the stock of Internet companies, the compound growth rate of Internet in China in the past 20 years is 20%, which means that he can still get this return by investing in a medium level. He made a profit of 654.38+000000 by speculating in stocks today and lost 500,000 tomorrow. Anyway, back and forth, for example, the final income this year is 654.38+00000000 yuan, which can't be compared with Ma Yun's multiplication.
At that time, it was the major shareholder of LeTV, but now it is not. Fortunately, he is not. I told him that you didn't study hard and you killed your child. He said that I have money and I send my children to the best schools. At that time, he proudly told me that "my children can draw K-lines since childhood". When you are trading stocks, you are also unproductive.
Education can really change your destiny. Don't expect everyone to be Stephenson. From bottom to top, you can clearly know your position and goal. Education is a way.
How much you finally achieve in this life depends on your time first.
20% of the 75 richest people in the world were born in the same country, and they were all in 1830- 1840. This is the second industrial revolution in America. Rockefeller, old Mellon (Mellon's father) and so on are all people of that era. And now the rich people in China have basically caught up with the wave of reform and opening up. Therefore, if you were born in a good time, your fate will be decided. You should believe in your time.
The first thing that determines your destiny is a great era, so you must sing the song of which mountain you are going to. The past 30 years is a good time, and the next 20 years is also a good time, doing what you should do. The greatest misfortune of China people in the past 30 years is that they don't believe in this era and follow it backwards.
Secondly, there are some things you can control and some things you can't. You can't control the times, because you can't choose when you were born, but you can control some things, such as the theme we are going to discuss today-"education". For education, the first thing you need to understand is that education is not just learning, but everything we do today.
For example, if you see our hotel today on the map, how can you find this room when you come in? There will be a picture at the bottom, which will tell you where you are now, and then you will go to that goal. So each of us needs to do two things:
First thing: you know where you are now.
As I said just now, for example, some children come to Beijing to go to school from a small place and feel good about themselves, but when they see that their classmates are all rich second generation, they are psychologically unbalanced because they don't want to know where they are. First of all, you should understand your position.
The second thing: where are you going?
This is also a very important thing. If China people are divided into two levels, people at different levels have different goals and different education levels.
If you are at the bottom of society, the most important thing to rise to the middle class is learning skills education. For people at this level, liberal arts education is useless.
This is why graduates from Lan Xiang Technical School earn more than many white-collar workers ―― because they have mastered the basic skills. So first of all, you should know where you are: if you are in such a social class, the first step you should take is skills education.
Do you think education can change fate (single choice)

Education should also be in line with the long-term vision.
