Unexpectedly, the legendary boring thought class has often made me give up the idea of studying mathematics or taking a nap during class. I like the colorful meditation class this semester. I remember in the first class, the teacher put forward three ultimate philosophical questions, which triggered my thinking. "Who am I?" "Where am I from?" "Where am I going?" Answering these three questions is not easy. This requires me to think about my past, present and future in order to accurately position myself. With these three huge question marks, I started this semester's meditation class.
Then the teacher assigned the first homework, interviewed relatives and friends, seniors and sisters, and asked emotional questions about college life. It's like sending charcoal in the snow, which is very confusing for me who just entered the university. In more innovative, the teacher also asked us to show our interview results in the form of PPT. At first, because I couldn't use PPT, I expected others to do it. Later, I learned that learning to do PPT is one of the necessary skills for a college student. So I made full use of the National Day holiday time to learn how to make PPT at home. Thinking class is really a course closely related to my college life.
The second PPT assignment is to understand your major and its employment prospects. This time, my classmates and I collected a lot of information. After studying these things carefully, I eliminated all kinds of worries about my major and gave up the idea of changing my major blindly. I think, maybe if you don't succeed in changing your major, you will be psychologically frustrated and have a greater sense of rejection of your current major. Knowing the employment prospect of my major, I made a four-year study plan for the university and made it clear that my destination after graduation is to study abroad. Because the real financial engineering is in Britain and America, the universities there have brought mathematics into full play in finance. As far as I am concerned, I am eager to go abroad and see the outside world. Especially feel the influence of western education system on people's cheerful personality, cooperative spirit and innovative thinking. I am more aware that this requires me to cherish my time more, because the competition for scholarships for studying abroad in business is quite fierce.
Then we did a more interesting homework. The teacher asked us to show it in the form of sketches, debates and PPT. At first, I thought this assignment was time-consuming and laborious, and I didn't have much desire to participate. In order to satisfy my desire for a little entertainment, I signed up for the sketch group. I wanted to play a small role, so I did my homework. As a result, my roommate said that two members of the debate team had to quit because they wanted to play. I felt very kind but joined the debate group again. After joining the debate competition, two debaters in our class urged us to collect information every day, and then discussed how to debate together in the East Garden. When I was just sitting in the East Garden, the cold wind blew from the outside, and I felt a strong sense of resistance. But because of the unity of the whole team, I endured it. Later, for the second and third time, I gradually went deep into the preparation of the debate, and I began to like this process of rational analysis and debate.
After preparing for the debate, just as I was performing a sketch with the mentality of "soy sauce", I found that the role I was going to play was the wife of the hero. The communist youth league secretary bribed me with the food from her hometown first, so I had to agree. Alas, people are short and cannibal. And most importantly, I don't like this script which looks unrealistic and has a strong formalism. So I got the consent of the Communist Youth League Secretary and wrote a new script overnight. In the process of writing the script, I inspired my creative inspiration by communicating with several classmates, and thought of the news stories I usually saw and skillfully integrated them into the script.
The experience of performing this sketch made me feel the pleasure of actively participating in group activities. It is impossible for me to finish my homework with a negative attitude to get the pleasure and sense of accomplishment of these creations. Only when I showed my class's works did I realize that my class's works were not the best. In a serious tone, Random News Network in the statistics class satirically broadcasts various social hotspots such as "gutter oil" and "Li Gangmen". Let me deeply admire our creativity. At the same time, I also understand that as a college student, I should have the habit of paying attention to society and improve my sense of social responsibility.
At the end of this semester's meditation class, I reviewed my course of studying this course and wrote down this experience. I hesitated when I was about to answer the three ultimate questions raised at the beginning. I think I haven't given enough consideration to these problems. The current understanding is that we must first believe that we have the ability to accomplish our ideals, which is based on the successful experience of doing something through hard work. These precious experiences have made me who I am now. Secondly, we should treat all kinds of things in life with an optimistic attitude, whether they are interesting or annoying. Maybe we can find pleasure in things we don't like at first. There are surprises everywhere in life. Finally, if you want to know where you are going, you must make further detailed planning, be strict and self-disciplined, and take the preset road step by step. In this way, time will not slip away unconsciously, and it will not be unclear what you did when you look back at the old year at the turn of the old year. When you get old in the future, you will regret wasting your time. In addition, I realize that I have been living in a large group of society and enjoying various conveniences. These are all created by everyone in society. As a social citizen, I also have the responsibility to make my own contribution to this society.
Of course, these three ultimate philosophical questions can't be figured out by a 18-year-old ignorant freshman through half a year's meditation class and past experience. In the days to come, I will keep thinking about my life with these three questions to make my life more meaningful.
