1. Recently, influenced by the theory of seven tyrants, I suddenly wanted to learn defense, so I began to search a lot of arguments on the Internet. There is a topic of debate that particularly appeals to me. The theme of the debate is: Do you study for yourself or for others? I will not hesitate to choose: for myself.

First of all, many parents and teachers have told us since childhood: I scold you for your own good, and I want you to study hard. Learning is for yourself, not for others. What you learn has nothing to do with others. This is actually very clear. For whom? Learn by yourself! So why study for yourself? Is it for the money? In order to find a job you like in the future? These can all be summed up in one category-for the future self. Now we are willing to spend more time studying hard and be admitted to Tsinghua Peking University. You can choose to work instead of work in the future. We were admitted to a key university and found our favorite job. When we meet a blind date, we can proudly say: I graduated from Peking University, have a car and a house, and have hundreds of thousands or even millions of deposits. Isn't all this for your own efforts?

I said my thoughts under that article. It didn't take long for someone to refute me and say: filial piety comes first. Don't you earn money to support your parents? Isn't this for someone else? It is true that people should be filial first, and there is nothing wrong with honoring their parents. But why honor your parents? Crows have filial piety to feed back, and sheep know the grace of kneeling and nursing. When we were young, our parents brought us up with a handful of shit and urine. When we grow up, we have to take care of our parents. What's the purpose? Not only for parents to get old early, but also to stay with us for a few more years. In the final analysis, it is for your own will.

Some people say that we will try our best to motivate our opponents, which also gives them the desire to win. Yes, when we try our best, as opponents, we will have a strong desire to win or lose and become very eager to win, so opponents will work harder than us. But this principle still applies in reverse. Our opponents work harder than we do, and we will see that we will also have the desire to win or lose, so we will do our best. Therefore, it can be regarded as an indirect motive.

After all, why study hard? Not just to eat less and get tired less in the future. Parents ask us to study hard, not to follow the path they have taken, but to make our children better than themselves. For the future, let's start studying hard and study for ourselves, and finally we can really understand that sentence: learning is for ourselves.
