The college entrance examination can't decide your fate!
Hello, classmates!
The annual college entrance examination ended with the end of admission. As the college entrance examination that year? Toss? Have to? Is it painful? Man, I can't help but fall into reflection again. The people on the list, the losers, and tens of millions of students have had a major turning point in their lives.
What should I do after the turning point? Those on the list can continue to follow the route designed by the educational model for four years. What about those who failed the list? What about the road of life? So this inspired me to write this letter. I dropped out of high school because I was afraid of the college entrance examination. I have some words for you.
First of all, briefly introduce my growth process.
I was born in 1980. 1996 was admitted to the county key high school, 199 dropped out of school.
At that time, my grade in senior three was on the edge of the admission score line, which means I was admitted carelessly, but I was not admitted carelessly. In that case, I am under great pressure: what if I fail the exam? What do my friends, relatives and teachers think of me? Finally, I couldn't resist this pressure, dropped out of school early and escaped the college entrance examination. Having said that, I want to say: I didn't even have the courage to take the college entrance examination at that time, but you all bravely persisted. From this point of view, you are better than me!
Stay at home after dropping out of school 1.5 years? I have worked in construction sites, factories, rural areas and small businesses. Later, I felt that I couldn't go on like this. At the age of 20, I came to Jinan. Worked in a restaurant, worked as a vegetable delivery worker, handyman and dishwasher.
While working in a hotel, I never gave up looking for one? Decent? At the age of 2 1, I finally got a job as a copywriter in a small advertising company. As a result, he was promoted to project manager in less than 2 months and became planning director in 3 months. During my stay in the advertising company, I organized some of my ideas into articles and sent them to some magazines, and the results were published. So at the age of 22, he began to become the most authoritative magazine and website columnist in China, such as Sales and Market and China Marketing Communication Network.
That year, my article was read by the boss of a famous enterprise, and he hired me as the brand director. That year, I began to hold public lectures on national brands and was invited to give a special speech at the university.
Later, my development began to enter expressway:
At the age of 23, several enterprises and consulting and planning companies began to look for me as a brand consultant. At that time, my monthly income exceeded 6,543,800 yuan.
At the age of 24, marketing planning agencies, then famous in China and the largest in Shandong Province, asked me to be the general manager and was hired as the director and researcher of Shandong Management Research Association.
25 years old, won an award in the Great Hall of the People? China's Special Contribution to Brand Building? Reward;
At the age of 26, he founded an Italian partner brand planning company in Shanghai, and once conducted brand planning and consulting services for many well-known brands;
At the age of 27, I bought my favorite BMW;
28-year-old, with Mr. Kai-fu Lee, global vice president of Google, Mr. Chen Chaoyi, the first president of China, and other domestic and foreign education experts, as my expert consultant of learning network; He began to lecture in colleges and universities, and was hired as a special expert and a growth consultant for college students by many colleges and universities such as Shandong University.
Ok, now I want to talk to you about several important points:
First, poor grades do not mean poor ability.
Poor exam results can only prove that your cultural achievements are not good enough. But people's success needs comprehensive ability, and cultural division is only one aspect. For example, communication ability, ability to find problems, ability to solve problems, ability to overcome difficulties and so on.
The late famous mathematician Mr. Chen Shengshen wrote an inscription for the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China: Don't get 100. This makes many parents don't understand: who doesn't want their children to get full marks? Zhu Qingshi, former president of China University of Science and Technology and academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, understands the meaning of this sentence by Mr. Chen: Students should master the essence and get 70 to 80 points. Don't waste time on details to get 100. Zhu Qingshi said, how? Don't ruin children's innovative ability, waste their intelligence and wisdom, distort their personality and morality, and turn them into examination machines for these two points. ?
So, because? Good student? Too obedient to us? Exam? Our educational model is too eager for high marks, so while getting good grades, it also restricts the generation of our own thoughts and other abilities.
On the other hand, some students with poor grades are not good enough because they have too many ideas and too lively brains. However, the way of thinking and the ability to solve problems have been greatly improved, laying a more solid foundation for them to enter the society and create value in the future.
Second, you just lost the list, not the list!
What is a list of failures? As the name implies, right? Fall? Go down,? Descending? Going down, the meaning behind it is over. Really? Is it really over? Certainly not! So, if you can't get into college, what's the best name? Lost the list? Accidentally lost a development opportunity on the list. The meaning behind it is: you have other ways to grow and develop.
Most of the so-called? Losers? It's not that you can't get into college, but that you failed in society? Is it over? The positioning of. 10 years ago, I didn't go to college. In that comparison? If you don't pass the exam, you are finished? In the new social environment, my pressure is even greater, and I feel inferior. However, I never give up. On the other hand, I have turned this powerful sense of inferiority into motivation. In a speech when I walked into Shanda University, a classmate asked me: What is the motivation for you to grow up so hard over the years? I said:? It is a heartfelt inferiority complex! Since I dropped out of high school, I feel that many people around me have started? Negative? Me? Mock? Therefore, I feel inferior. I have been studying hard to prove that I am not bad.
Students, the college entrance examination, this time did not prove yourself, then change the route to prove yourself!
Third, if the college entrance examination fails, there are still many development paths to choose from.
First of all, you can choose to repeat.
If your grades are a little worse just because you didn't do well in the exam, or your grades are lagging behind in a certain subject, you can choose to repeat to make up for your shortcomings. Repetition, you delay a year's time, in exchange for a lifetime of growth opportunities.
My good friend Mr. Liu Yuetan is a touching case. He studied in general since he was a child, and failed in the senior high school entrance examination in primary school, junior high school and senior high school. After failing the college entrance examination for the first time, he chose to repeat, and as a result, he was admitted to an ordinary university. But when he arrived at the university, the open learning environment made him out of control: first, he was promoted to undergraduate, then he took the postgraduate entrance examination, then he studied for a doctorate, and then he was sent to the world's top universities by the Ministry of Education for marketing communication? After studying for a postdoctoral degree at the University of Missouri in the United States, he has returned to China and worked as an assistant dean, associate professor and master tutor at the School of Literature and Communication of Shandong University.
Secondly, you can choose to teach yourself.
If you have obvious hobbies, you can learn by yourself. Like me, I love advertising very much. The happiest thing every day is learning advertising and brand planning. As a result, I can develop in a few years.
There are countless examples of not going to college, but studying, developing and growing according to your own interests.
If you teach yourself, you can choose to study for a period of time, or you can choose to take part in a specific job and study while working. In the process of work, you can read a lot of books, participate in many practices and learn from other predecessors of the company through the company's resource platform, which is a good way to learn and grow. You can also choose some social training according to your shortcomings to enrich your life after work, such as the professional training you are engaged in, the training of basic knowledge such as English and computer, the training of business etiquette and interpersonal communication, and so on.
In short, if you have the opportunity, go to participate and study. Don't take making money as an important thing, just think of it as four years in school after you have a job! Four years later, you may be more capable than your classmates who just graduated from college!
Fourth, not going to college does not mean that you can't read college books and listen to college classes.
I didn't walk into the gate of the university, but the books of the university are open and the classrooms of the university are open. We can choose university textbooks of a certain major according to our personal preferences, even work near the university, or often skip classes in the university classroom.
Although I dropped out of school and went home, I never gave up studying. I like books on literature, management, marketing and advertising very much. After dropping out of school, I have been reading books in this field everywhere, whether it is college textbooks of related majors or various related books in bookstores.
By the time I had the opportunity to work in an advertising company, I had actually studied in this professional field for nearly three years, and I was eager to learn. What impressed me most was going to Xinhua Bookstore? Stealing books? Because I can't afford books, I go to the bookstore to read books on Saturday and Sunday, and finish reading one in two days. Because I can't afford it, I will concentrate on cherishing every minute of reading and read the book clearly in two days. This reading efficiency is very high.
So what I want to say is: in fact, there is no shortcut for everyone's growth and development. As long as you study hard and work hard, growth and development are inevitable. It's just that when you meet an opportunity, it's like this in the eyes of others. Suddenly? It developed. In fact, this must be the result of your own efforts.
The biggest reason for your poor grades in high school is that you don't like learning those things. All right! Now that I have graduated from high school, I can finally choose what I like to learn! You can buy textbooks and books in this field, and you can take part in this work and grow up from the grassroots. One day, you will make extraordinary achievements!
I have one more thing to tell you. Don't think that I graduated from high school as a? No culture? People can only do some basic labor. No! In fact, when we graduate from high school, we have enough knowledge to develop ourselves in a certain field.
Speaking of which, I also want to say: academic ability, that is, learning ability, is much more important than academic qualifications! What a person has achieved is not how much he has learned in school, but his ability to keep learning all his life. Without going to college, you can build a more important ability in the process of self-study: the ability to learn, the ability to find answers, and the ability to solve problems! These abilities really determine your achievements in life!
Fifth, find a major, every line can be a champion!
If you don't go to college, you may face a more specific thing to do, such as taking part in a specific job, such as taking part in a specific professional vocational study. You can achieve anything as long as you put your heart and soul into it.
Let me give you a few simple examples:
If you learn to repair cars, your life track may be like this: learn the knowledge of repairing cars thoroughly in a few years, and then use your professional ability to cooperate with others to open a small auto repair shop. Then, you may become a national chain automobile specialized group, or you can use your own learning method to open an automobile specialized school;
If you learn to drive excavators, you can buy excavators for rent after you are familiar with the industry, and may develop into the largest construction machinery leasing company in China in the future;
If you don't know anything, just set up a stall and sell some trinkets. Slowly, you can rent a small shop, then you can open several more stores, and then you can develop franchise chains. Now it's all over the country? Yaya girl jewelry store? Isn't it a success story?
So, class!
Just like without beauty, you can have temperament;
Without a diploma, you can have a culture;
Without education, you can have the ability;
No one can stop you unless you don't want it yourself!
The college entrance examination can't decide your fate!
