Facing life, every college student is full of dreams for the future. Everyone hopes to make a contribution after graduation and realize their own life value. So what kind of life is valuable for college students? In my opinion, a valuable life should be like what Paul Cochakin said in How Steel was Tempered: A man's life should be spent like this: when he looks back, he will not regret wasting his time, nor will he be ashamed of his mediocrity. So as a college student, how should I realize my life value? I think we should keep pace with the times, keep pace with the times. Key words: college students' life value political belief The so-called life value refers to a person's position and role in society. It is a philosophical category. The value of life is different from the value of several commodities, which includes existence value and activity value. The former belongs to several humanitarian horizons and is the respect and satisfaction of society to several people. The latter is the theme of life philosophy, that is, the individual's responsibility and contribution to society. If a person wants to realize his own life value, he must correctly understand and grasp the relationship between existence value and activity value. As far as college students are concerned, they not only have the general attributes of human existence value and activity value in general society, but also have other special attributes. In their whole learning stage, they mainly reflect their value in society, which is manifested in the respect and satisfaction of their personal needs by their families and society. If family and society can't meet their needs, they can't complete their study tasks well and may drop out of school. After graduation, college students join clubs, and their life value is mainly reflected in their responsibilities and contributions to family and society. A family trained a college student, and his parents paid a lot in his whole learning stage, both economically and spiritually. His parents always hope that their children can get enough rewards after graduation, including material rewards and spiritual comfort. The state and society invest heavily in national education in order to improve the national quality of the whole society, cultivate high-quality builders and successors needed by a society with all-round development in morality, intelligence and physique, promote the development of productive forces and promote the progress of the whole society. Therefore, the life value of college students is the perfect unity of social respect and satisfaction for individuals and personal responsibility and contribution to society. With the rapid development of today's world, the traditional and outdated reading mode is gradually drifting away and gradually withdrawing from the stage of the times. Born in the contemporary era, as college students, we can't be that four-corner bookcase. What we should do is to throw away old ideas and embrace the wonderful world outside. College students are an important force to promote social and historical progress. College students have played an important role in the development of human society and the Chinese nation. College students are a group with high level of knowledge, the most potential and the most creativity among young people. Therefore, the mental outlook and value orientation of contemporary college students will directly affect the future of the country. To realize one's own value, one must establish a correct outlook on life, pay attention to contribution, stress dedication, correctly understand and handle the relationship between individuals and society and others, and correctly understand and handle the relationship between contribution and demand. Every college student is full of longing for the future. I hope that after I graduate from college, I will achieve great achievements and success and realize my value. To understand people's value, we must start with value. What is value? Real life tells us that value is a widely used concept. It can be used not only in philosophy, ethics and aesthetics, but also in economics, law and sociology. In other words, people can understand it and use it from different angles. Some people say that value is a beautiful and rich life. Some people say that value is freedom, while others say that value is the object of interest. These understandings do not really reflect the essence of value. Marxism holds that value is a relational category. Only when the understanding of value is placed in the relationship between subject and object can we correctly grasp the essence of value. As Marx pointed out, "value, a universal concept, comes from the relationship between people and external things that meet their needs ...". The value of life is the basis for people to consider life problems from the perspective of value. Life values play an important role in the whole system of outlook on life, which profoundly influences, restricts and guides people's practical activities and provides the basis for people to choose their life goals and attitudes. It contains its own value and social value. The so-called self-worth refers to a person's position and role in society. Self-worth is a kind of special value, which is the function and significance of people's life practice to society and individuals. The social value of life is the value of individual life activities to society and others. Only by correctly understanding the value of life, distinguishing right from wrong, distinguishing good from evil, and knowing honor and disgrace, can contemporary college students create life value to the maximum in time and achieve brilliant life. Values are the spiritual pillar that supports people's life, which determines people's behavior orientation and what kind of mentality people use to start their life. Therefore, it is of great guiding significance to people's lives. As a special cultural group, our values are very representative of the times. In a sense, our value orientation will have a very significant impact on the mainstream culture of the whole society. For college students, as a special group, they not only have the general attributes of the existence value and activity value of ordinary people in society, but also have their own special attributes. In the whole learning stage of university, it mainly reflects the existence value of college students in society. When college students enter the society after graduation, their life value is mainly reflected in their responsibilities and contributions to the family and society. In any society, college students are high IQ groups with active thinking and strong innovation ability. They have extremely keen perception. College students' values are easily influenced by changes in social environment. In the period of rapid social change and transformation, college students' value orientation often becomes a barometer of social change, and their mental journey in social transformation often provides a very unique perspective for people to observe and understand the development characteristics of an era. Self-worth is a necessary condition for individual survival and development. Generally speaking, the personal conditions for contemporary college students to realize their own values are: starting from their own conditions, constantly improving their own abilities, enhancing their ability to realize their own values, basing themselves on reality, sticking to their posts, making contributions, and having the spirit of self-improvement. But man is not isolated, he always exists as a social individual, so the realization of life value also needs social conditions: starting from social objective conditions, consistent with the socialist core value system and so on. However, the realization of self-worth is always carried out in a certain environment. Whether and to what extent one's own value can be realized is closely related to how one views one's living environment. According to the survey, many college students have different degrees of psychological problems. This is because college students are in a specific psychological period, which is the internal cause of psychological problems; The influence of social environment is the external cause of psychological problems. Therefore, it is an urgent need for college students to consciously adjust their psychology and maintain their mental health. That is to establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values; Master scientific methods to deal with psychological problems; Regulate emotions reasonably; Actively participate in group activities and enhance interpersonal communication. Adhere to honesty, tolerance and mutual assistance, and correctly handle the relationship between competition and cooperation.
