Not long ago, Apple seniors saw that Harvard University conducted a background survey on the freshmen of 202 1, including their studies, life and family situation. More than half of the freshmen in this school participated in the survey. The research results were published in the Harvard University newspaper. There are two sets of data, and Apple veterans feel very excited after reading it.

Let's look at the first set of data: nearly 30% of freshmen, whose parents or relatives were Harvard alumni.

As we all know, as a world-renowned top university, Harvard University is simply a Petri dish for talents. It has trained 8 presidents of the United States of America, 133 Nobel Prize winners, 18 Fields Prize winners and 13 Turing Prize winners.

Even dropouts who haven't graduated are great big coffees, such as mark zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook. For example, the founder of Microsoft: Bill Gates. According to previous statistics, the average annual salary of Harvard University graduates is146,000 USD, and most of them have made great achievements in politics, business and scientific research.

People who can graduate from Harvard don't say how awesome they will be in the future or how talented ta is, but they must be out-and-out social elites. The success of elites has never benefited only themselves. He will have enough influence to make the whole family develop actively because of him.

Children in this family will naturally worship him, imitate him, learn from him, and grow up according to his way of thinking and lifestyle.

Because of amazing capital, superior resources and superior knowledge, this has formed a chain effect invisibly, and the probability of children around Harvard alumni being admitted to Harvard will naturally increase.

There is also a set of 202 1 Harvard freshmen's family income data.

According to statistics, 46% of the newly admitted Harvard freshmen come from super-rich families, far exceeding 26.6% last year.

How hard it is to get into Harvard. Last year, its admission rate was only 5.3%, a record low. However, nearly half of the students who are admitted are super rich second generation.

This shows that in a greater probability, the higher the parents' educational background, the stronger their economic ability, and the better their children's educational resources, the higher the probability of becoming an elite.

So some people say: real education is actually fighting for dad.

What kind of parents, children will naturally become what kind of people.

This is a subtle infiltration, a timeless imitation, and a guidance and guidance from the depths of a living soul.

The excellent qualities possessed by parents will not disappear with the disappearance of life, but will be inherited and passed on to future generations.

Some people may think that this is only a unique phenomenon of Harvard, and it doesn't mean anything.

But it's not like this.

In China, there is also such a probability.

20 1 1 "Research on the Equity of Higher Education in China" reports that the proportion of rural students in national key universities has been declining since 1990.

The proportion of rural students in Peking University dropped from 30% to 1%. Only 20 10 rural students in Tsinghua account for 17%.

The researchers concluded that with the increasing competition in the college entrance examination, candidates' scores in the college entrance examination are not only related to their own efforts, but also related to the social and educational resources they have. Now, with the widening gap between the rich and the poor, the class is solidified and the Matthew effect is strengthened, which is becoming more and more obvious.

There is a professor in Tsinghua who teaches an introduction to sociology. His name is Jin Jun, and he conducts background checks on freshmen every year. The results show that compared with the whole country, more and more Tsinghua students come from wealthy families.

Professor Jin Jun said, "The family background determines the resources, learning environment, vision and knowledge that students are exposed to ... You came to Tsinghua not only because of your efforts, but also because you have these things."

Zhang Xiaolin, a student of Professor Jin Jun, once said in the Zhihu: You can't get into Tsinghua Peking University if you work hard. There are luck factors in the short term and family environment factors in the long term.

A person's family environment will have a great influence on ta. For most people, it is not only your own efforts, but also your family environment that decides you to come to Tsinghua Peking University. Including your parents' educational ideas, the time and money you are willing and able to pay for education, your vision and vision, and some opportunities for resources you can access.

In fact, we have known these facts for a long time, but few people accept and face them. For most of us ordinary people, choosing hard work is the only way to change our destiny, but the cruel reality is that most of us have already lost at the starting line of life.

20 17 Xiong xuanang, the champion of Beijing college entrance examination, once said: "The college entrance examination is a grade examination, which is becoming more and more difficult in rural areas. I am a child of a middle-class family. I was born in Beijing. The educational resources I can enjoy in a big city like Beijing determine that I can take many shortcuts when I am studying. "

Xiong Xuanang's words are not complaining, but showing sadness about reality.

His parents are diplomats, and they have traveled around the world since they were very young. Excellent English, extraordinary vision and insight.

And his parents have great respect for his growth. They will let him be himself. Instead of controlling him, insulting him and hitting him. They gave him freedom and scientific guidance.

I want to ask, if the children in such a family have no talent, who will become talents?

China Youth Daily reported a case of a Peking University student. His name is Li Lin, and he comes from the lowest rural area. Go to primary school and junior high school in the town and high school in the county. After the college entrance examination, I entered a 985 university, and later I was admitted to Peking University as a graduate student.

He said:

In primary school and junior high school, the proportion of his classmates from poor families is 98%.

Among high school students, the proportion of poor students accounts for about 50%.

In 985 colleges and universities, students from poor families only account for about 5%.

After entering Peking University for postgraduate study, the proportion of poor students is less than 1%.

In other words, with the improvement of school level, the proportion of poor children is getting smaller and smaller. Moreover, these children from poor families will fall behind those from elite families for external and psychological reasons after entering the society.

It is not the sorrow of this era, but the reality and trend of this era. Even those poor students who are admitted to famous schools through their own efforts have completely different horizons and patterns from those who are admitted to famous schools from elite families.

Because a person's vision and pattern come from the environment in which he lived and was educated since childhood.

You must feel depressed when you see this.

However, the more painful fact is that it is not at the starting line of education, because you have already lost. It is those who are admitted to famous schools by "fighting for their father" who live harder than you.

Li Sisi, the host of CCTV Spring Festival Evening on 20 18, graduated from School of Journalism and Communication, Peking University. As many people know, this young face has been the host of the main venue of CCTV Spring Festival Gala for five consecutive years from 20 12 to 20 16.

However, few people know that in 2005, Li Sisi participated in three sets of CCTV "Challenge the Host" programs as a freshman, becoming the first female champion in the history of this program. In 2006, she once again participated in the national sea election of the host of CCTV variety show "Challenge the Host" and won the third place.

As early as 2000, she was nominated as the heroine of the film Happy Hour directed by Zhang Yimou, and participated in a personal interview with Zhang Yimou.

CCTV host Sa Beining also graduated from Peking University. Sa Beining's parents are both soldiers, engaged in literary and artistic work in the army. They have been influenced by art since childhood, and he loved speaking since childhood. He created the myth of speaking and won many awards in the speech contest.

In his sophomore year, Sa Beining founded a drama club, made a TV series and won the second prize of CCTV's "Ideal Cup". In his junior year, he led an expedition to Spain as the head of the choir and won the first place in the international competition. In his senior year, he was sent to graduate school. Later, he triumphed all the way in his hosting career and became a popular host.

Behind those glories, Li Sisi and Sa Beining don't know how many lines they recited, how many speeches they practiced, and how many tears and sweat they shed.

The glory in front of the stage is not achieved overnight, but behind it is the dedication and persistence that ordinary people can't see.

Excellent people are not born. As a man of elite descent, he has been working so hard. What qualifications do you have not to work hard?

A few days ago, a classmate chatted with Apple's senior. She said that she is a junior now, but she has always felt inferior. When I first entered the university, because my best friends were admitted to 985,211,and she entered two colleges, there was always a feeling of running around when friends got together.

Later, when I arrived at the university, I found that my roommates either studied well or lived a rich life and participated in various campus activities, but they were always out of place with them and only chased dramas in the dormitory every day.

Now I will graduate in one year, and I see many excellent students around me. Every day, I prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination until late at night, and my classmates are taking part in various trainings to brush the questions. Students who are looking for a job have also started to send internship resumes everywhere, and they are still muddling along. Suddenly I feel very flustered and confused about the future.

Are people born excellent destined to be excellent in the end? Are people without elite family background destined to accept a mediocre life?

Classmate, when you are still looking for excitement in late-night games and seeking happiness in chasing, those who are better than you are secretly surpassing you. It is from this moment that the real gap between people begins to widen.

"Children without umbrellas need to run harder than others!"

For most of us, some things are doomed to lose at the starting line, such as pattern, vision and knowledge. But everyone has equal opportunities to pursue the life they want.

Therefore, if the first half is about family resources and education, then the second half is really about your efforts. As long as you are willing to change your attitude from now on, you can exchange your efforts for the pattern, vision and knowledge that you will lose at the starting line in the future.

It's difficult to have children in a cold door, but it doesn't mean that you can't have children. The opportunity to change your destiny has always been in your own hands, depending on whether you are willing to change.

I have always liked a saying: The most meaningful thing in life is not that you were born with a good deck of cards, but that you can turn a bad deck of cards into a good one with a smile.

What kind of attitude a person has determines what kind of life he leads.

Finally, Apple seniors want to tell students a word: Don't feel sorry for life and feel inferior just because your parents are not good enough. On the contrary, because your parents are not good enough, you have a chance to make yourself better. Only when you become better, will your children be better in the future.
