study
Learning is divided into generalized learning and narrow learning. Learning in a broad sense includes art, physical education, cognition, professional skills and doing things, while learning in a narrow sense includes learning knowledge, skills and methods.
Among them, learning in a broad sense can refer to Mr. Wu's book "The Road to University", and here we mainly talk about the narrow learning part.
The purpose of learning
The purpose of learning is not for professional learning, but for lifelong learning.
When the purpose of study is determined, you should know what kind of life you want to live in the future. If you want to live an interesting life, you can try many possibilities. If you want to live a rich life, then you may think that making money is a very realistic goal.
If you compare your learning goals, you will find that most of the courses offered by universities are of little help to your goals. And college is the best time to learn knowledge and skills. This stage is not only very good in memory and understanding, but more importantly, flexible in time. At work, it is difficult for a person to completely control his time. If a college student realizes that during his four years in college, he needs to learn much more than the content in class, he may not waste time playing games, or often go to a stall outside the school gate to eat snacks at night.
What do you want to study in college?
1. The habit of putting into action
Everything in the world is made, not spoken. Many people are wondering why Trump, who has no political experience and many problems, can successfully run for the presidency. There are many reasons, one of which is that he is a man who puts into practice.
Teacher Wu gave an example. Three domestic companies, BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent), said that they would internationalize for 10 years, but they have not seriously implemented it so far. On the contrary, Microsoft, Google and other companies entered China, but they paid a big price, offered the best benefits, hired the best people and did it very seriously. It is precisely because many people love talking but not doing that they give a few practitioners a chance to succeed. For example, Huawei is not talking about internationalization every day, but is actually doing it. Today, most of its income comes from overseas.
Personal feeling: I didn't see Mr. Wu's book when I was in college, which is a little regrettable. However, I always do it at the end of things. For example, in my junior year, I decided to take part in the whole marathon. Because if you miss that opportunity, the university will have no chance to participate.
2. Communication and presentation skills
Besides eating and sleeping, people spend most of their time communicating, which includes chatting, discussing work, expressing feelings, writing letters and short messages, reading news, listening to audio and watching video programs. From the middle of19th century, the history of human progress is, to a great extent, the history of communication revolution.
The purpose of communication is to express one's thoughts and wishes, accept knowledge and information, and conduct two-way communication. Expressing one's thoughts and communicating are necessary abilities for future life. The stronger this ability, the more convenient life and work, and the easier it is to succeed. Generally speaking, China people are weak in expression and communication, which should be learned at a young age. Today, it is hard to imagine that people who lack these two abilities can have a successful career and a happy family.
Personal feelings: As a class cadre in college, I took the initiative to undertake some routine work in the class, which really exercised and improved some communication and expression skills. Between you and me, when I first went to college, I blushed when I talked to girls.
3. Ability to show friendliness and love
In our life, we often see many people trying to express their good feelings, but it backfires. They are depressed and others are embarrassed. The ability to express friendliness is very important, from individuals to countries. What goes further than friendship is love, which includes feelings between men and women, as well as affection, admiration or appreciation. Anyway, people need to know how to express themselves. Many people may give a beautiful woman a hundred million dollars, but they may not win her heart, because she doesn't know how to express love. This ability must be learned.
Personal feeling: Well, it's a pity that I didn't see Mr. Wu's Road to University earlier. A person has dimples on his face, so smiling is friendly. The ability to show love is still lacking, and it is estimated that a love is needed to improve. Besides, The Art of Love is a very good book.
4. The ability of summarizing, writing and logical reasoning
Many people can communicate effectively, but they can't express it in written language. It is difficult for such people to do things in depth, because only by being good at writing and recording, summing up the experience of the first success, or the lessons of a certain failure, can they stand on the basis of the first time when doing the second time, and stand on the basis of the second time for the third time, will there be a superposition effect and can they keep moving forward.
People's memory is limited, and it is impossible to remember all the details of the first nine times clearly when doing things for the tenth time. Therefore, many people always repeat mistakes in doing things, and it is difficult to achieve superposition success.
Personal feeling: What should I do if it is swollen? I feel sorry again. When I was in college, I really didn't exercise this ability. Summary is rarely used, even graduation thesis is useless. Writing is basically a graduation thesis, and logical reasoning seems to be better. After all, I am an engineering student.
Say Again left by Teacher Wu.
There are still many abilities to be cultivated, such as proper organizational skills, the ability to discover and appreciate beautiful things, and so on. But if you can master the above four basic abilities, the university will not study in vain. Of course, some abilities are consistent with the study of the course, but others need to be studied in various occasions after class. There are so many things to learn in college that you can't finish them, but you should have them all around you, right? Life? Two words. Considering that there are so many things to learn, why spend a lot of time shopping and playing games?
Personal feelings: I was the head of a sports club in college, but I didn't exercise my organizational skills. On the contrary, you can pat beautiful flowers and plants with your mobile phone when you are free, and the ability to discover and appreciate beauty is cultivated little by little.
Generally speaking, I don't have as high consciousness as Mr. Wu. I just spent my college life with the purpose of studying hard in a university. Of course, I missed some experiences and some abilities. I hope more college students can learn the abilities they need in their future lives in college.
