I believe that most college students feel that they should study more books, so that they can either take the postgraduate entrance examination or take the civil service examination in public institutions. Some college students feel that their grades are not good, so they can only exercise their social skills in order to "wander the rivers and lakes" in the future. At present, the university has indeed become a turning point in life, so intellectuals have designed a door at this turning point, and only those with tickets can enter. Maybe they don't even know the significance of setting up a university.
What is a university? Maybe all new college students will face such a question: Why are you here? How do you spend your college life? In fact, when I wanted to go to college, I was fascinated by the teachers' "rhetoric" and wanted to experience it for myself. However, it was half a year after college life that we discovered the teachers' white lies. After all, we were helpless at that time, and we just wanted to say that we were in pain and happy. So what were universities used for in ancient times? In feudal China, the word "University" not only refers to "University", one of the four classics of Confucianism, but also refers to the institutions that gather in specific places to sort out, study and disseminate advanced knowledge. In fact, university is the study of "adults". Not that the school is big, but that the master is big. The greatness of a university lies in its free and independent will, and new sparks constantly collide between viewpoints. This is the true meaning of a university. Need to explain the meaning of "adult", independent personality, free thinking and responsibility. This is "adult".
Opposite the university is the primary school. What's the difference between primary school and university? The answer may vary from person to person. Some people think that universities can fall in love and be more free, without parents' nagging and teachers' control. Some people may think that when they go to college, others may look at themselves differently. After all, few people have been admitted to universities before, and they will be remembered by their families. Why I want to go to college is an unsolved mystery. In my opinion, studying social experience in college is not the most important thing. In primary school, we learned skills such as sweeping the floor, advancing and retreating, and coping. Besides, after graduating from college, you will enter a long study of society. Why waste four years of college youth? You should consider what the university should really learn and cherish these four years.
What should a university study? In fact, university is a "useless" knowledge. What is "useless"? It's not useless On the contrary, it is very useful. The great physicist Einstein once said, "I know the power of matter, so I love physics deeply." But in the process of studying physics, I feel more and more that at the end of matter, what stands is spirit. "What universities learn is not only skills, but also the truth of being a man, more ideological knowledge and more' useless learning'. Then why do you call it useless learning It is useless because it won't give you material gains in a short time. Many people will think that learning the skills of doing things is more important than this, but I think the two are complementary.
