However, this is not the case. With the advent of the era of knowledge economy and the change of entrepreneurial environment, it is difficult to find the shadow of the success of grassroots entrepreneurship. Most graduates are used to drinking Ma Yun's father's poisoned chicken soup, but they ignore an indisputable fact: at present, more and more big bosses are from Xueba, and even top students in the college entrance examination.
Shi Yuzhu: Founder of Giant Group.
1962, Shi Yuzhu, from Huaiyuan County, northern Anhui Province. 1977 college entrance examination resumed, and Shi Yuzhu studied hard. 1980, Shi Yuzhu ranked first in the total score of the county, 1 19 (poor 1) was admitted to the Mathematics Department of Zhejiang University. But after just one semester in the Department of Mathematics of Zhejiang University, he gave up his dream of becoming Chen Jingrun.
After starting a successful business, Shi Yuzhu regarded talents as treasures. We not only attach importance to the high-quality R&D personnel of Giant Network, but also set up a college student venture fund to encourage college students with ideas, motivation and ability to start businesses in Internet games, medical care, finance and other fields. In the celebration of Zhejiang University 120, Shi Yuzhu donated 50 million yuan to build a giant math building to feed back the school, hoping that the capable young people would have high development.
Li Yanhong: Founder of Baidu
1987, 19-year-old Li Yanhong won the top spot in the college entrance examination in Yangquan City, Shanxi Province.
When filling in the college entrance examination, high school participated in the national youth programming competition, and there is no doubt about their love for computers. But his first choice is not the computer department of Peking University, but the information management department, because he thinks that computers will definitely be widely used in the future, and it will be better to simply combine computers with an application.
Read Peking University and learn to think independently.
Facing graduation, it was a dull year of 199 1. Li Yanhong, who decided to "go out and see the world", received the admission notice from new york State University in Buffalo as scheduled.
Liu: the founder of.
Liu's head teacher is a teacher who is very concerned about current affairs and always likes to take his students to think about some social problems. At that time, Liu's grade was the first in the whole school, so he admired Liu very much and had high hopes for him: maybe you can't change this society by yourself, but with your ability, you can be the county magistrate of Suqian County when you go home. Be kind to the people of Suqian and do more practical things for the people within your authority. So Liu had a dream at that time: to be a county magistrate in politics.
After the results of the college entrance examination were announced in July, 1992, Liu got the first place in Suqian, and the deputy county magistrate personally sent Dahonghua home. At this point, Liu's grades could have gone to the Physics Department of Tsinghua University, but he had already given up the Physics Department of Tsinghua University and enrolled in the Sociology Department of NPC.
Many years after graduation, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of China Renmin University, Liu He Group, the founder, chairman and CEO of the group, announced on June 2nd that it would donate 300 million yuan to China Renmin University to set up the China Renmin University Fund. This is the highest social donation record since the school was founded.
Yu: Founder of New Oriental
After reviewing for about 10 months, I only got 33 points in English in the national college entrance examination 1978, and all other subjects were not satisfactory. 1979, I took the college entrance examination again. His total score exceeded the admission score, but he only got 55 points in English, while the admission score of Changshu Normal University was 60 points. As a result, he failed again
1980 college entrance examination, English took two hours, and it took only 40 minutes to hand in the remaining papers. His English teacher slapped him in the face and said that you were the only one who could be admitted to Peking University this year, and you ruined it yourself.
As a result, after the score came out, my English score was 95, with a total score of 387. At that time, the admission score of Peking University was 380 points. I was admitted to Peking University as I wished.
There is a problem in Zhihu: If you don't go to 985 or 2 1 1, what will you lose and miss?
User 1:
"It can be said that as a bottom 985 student who failed two subjects, I didn't feel the pressure of employment. When I was looking for a job in my senior year, I received six offer, all of which started at 4000. One day, my job is to write a story. Some places quit after two days, and there is no psychological pressure. I am the hardest-working student in our class. Some of them went abroad, some enrolled in graduate schools, some took the civil service exam, some went to the provincial media, some went to the People's Daily Xinhua News Agency, and some went to big companies, with a starting salary of 10000. Of course, most of them are at the level of 5000. "
Netizen 2:
"As a scum who came out from the bottom, I only said the most practical. As for what is poetry and distance, I am also confused when I read the university. I wouldn't say such a thing. After all, my sister who was cut off from the assembly line in the same village told me that not everyone is qualified to give birth to poetry and the pursuit of distance. For some people, it is so difficult to eat a safe bowl of rice. "
Xiang Xiao, a century-old talent, tells you that you are not the top scholar in the college entrance examination, and you must be a successful person if you are admitted to a prestigious school, but a university diploma, especially a first-class prestigious school diploma. Even if you can't guarantee that you will reach the top, you will not fall to the bottom.
Li Yuanyuan once made such a speech in Super Speaker:
"Some people are born with a golden key, and some people are born without parents. Life is not comparable to life. What our life is like depends entirely on our feelings. You have been complaining all your life, then your life is a life of complaining; You have been feeling touched all your life, then your life is a touched life; You are determined to change this society with your life, then your life is the life of a fighter. "
Whatever environment you are in will be affected. You are in a prestigious school, and naturally you are surrounded by excellent people. The people you know in famous schools will be your contacts in your future career and friends in your life. From the utilitarian point of view, your education determines your starting salary, and famous schools naturally have advantages.
Therefore, for most children in ordinary families, there are no innate resources, so the only way out the day after tomorrow is really knowledge.
Although it is difficult to turn over by knowledge now, you can't give up even if there is a glimmer of hope.
So, don't listen to people say "happiness is the most important thing". Without the support of a comfortable life, "poor happiness" is really not so happy.
