Life is a choice, and every seemingly accidental decision is connected in series to form a long and unique road to life. I left home for Beijing at that time, and later graduated from Haidian University and went to work at Colgate. Now everything seems logical, although the result was unexpected at that time.
Leave home and yearn for the outside world.
At that time, I got the admission notice from Xinjiang Agricultural University. In fact, if I stay in Xinjiang, I won't have to worry about my job. The relationship at home and my own ability can give me a good way out. But there is one bad thing that I can't accept in particular, that is, wherever I go, someone will tell you whose son you are or whose relative you are. I think I have hands and feet, and I can live a good life wherever I go. This is what real boys should do. My mother is still very supportive. She said that boys should go out when they grow up.
I had a friend who was studying in Beijing at that time. Through him, I know that Haidian University is recruiting students. So on1September 9, 999, I came to Beijing. I spent my first night in Tiananmen Square with 6000 yuan, which was a lot for me at that time. The next day, I went to Haidian University. At that time, the school was shabby, not as beautiful as it is now, only a few rows of small bungalows. We met the teacher in this bungalow. Teacher Zhang, who took us at that time, said that no matter what you do, don't be too picky. This school is not run by you, but for you. The purpose of the organizer is to help children like you and help you finish your studies. Now, although our conditions are similar, what does it matter? After listening to teacher Zhang, I froze.
Now that I think about it, this should be the first turning point of my fate. Haidian University provided me with more than a diploma. More importantly, it provides me with a platform. Through this platform, I can go to a wider world. Later, I went out to do a part-time job and later worked as a salesman, which helped me a lot during my school life.
Haidian day school, my college life
I settled in Beijing after I entered Haidian. The first year was ok, and the class was good, but I didn't skip class. I studied very hard, but I failed in the second year and began to be confused. I saw many students distributing leaflets and selling self-study materials at that time. Others get some certificates through their own efforts and start working, and they can get more than 1000 a month. In our view at that time, this was already very high.
I was in a state of confusion at that time. I often think about my future and the value of what I am doing now. Am I really going the right way? Are these things I have learned useful or not? Am I right or wrong to come here? These problems bother me all day and make me unwilling to study.
The life I lived during that time can simply be called "leading a drunken life". Every morning after dinner, I go back to the dormitory to sleep; After sleeping enough, I ran outside to do some shopping. On the busy streets of Beijing, I feel like a lonely boat in the sea.
Later, a very accidental thing changed this state. It was my girlfriend's birthday. Because it is the first year we have known each other, I especially want to give her a meaningful birthday. I don't want to ask my family for money. I don't think this is what a real man should do. So I went out to find a part-time job, and later I got a job as a property manager in a real estate company named Tian Hong, helping to sell properties. This is my first time to set foot in sales. The job this time is very simple, that is, to help make some simple introductions or explanations. After that, I played happily for two days, because I spent my own money, so I felt particularly comfortable.
This part-time job not only brought me money, but also changed my life. I used to think more and do less, but now I really do things, thinking less than before, but more substantial. Moreover, I am really interested in sales work from now on.
The first job after graduation
I studied computer and its application in college, and after graduation I switched to sales, which many people may find difficult to understand. Many students in Haidian University are worried that their professional knowledge will not be used in the future. Of course, there is no necessary connection between major and future work. Because you must integrate into this society, not let this society integrate into you. But even so, your professional knowledge will be useful in the future. Any industry will involve some of what you have learned, and what you have learned before can still play a role. For example, what I am doing now is sales, and I used to study computers. It seems that what I learned before is completely useless now. But this is not the case. For example, the company has many reports, such as the application quota table, which I can take and do myself. Also, because I study computer and know a little about the Internet, when I chat with the company's technicians, they will tell me more knowledge. In this way, my professional knowledge has not been shelved at all.
