The book "University" has the least number of words among the "Four Books and Five Classics", with only 1750 words, which is divided into two parts: classics and biographies. Classics clearly distinguish morality, being close to the people and being the best. Biography is divided into different things, knowledge, sincerity, integrity, self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world. Referred to as "three classes and eight orders". It has been studied as an official compulsory examination for more than 600 years. Today, millions of people become college students every year without studying it. So are there any new standards? This is a matter of opinion.
Thanks to teacher Kai-Fu Lee, I have the opportunity to communicate with more college students, which makes me think more deeply about what a real college student is. The following four points can be referenced.
First, junior college:
"There is specialization in the technical field", which is the foundation of all universities. Of course, all students must also be based on this. You can't go to college without a major, and you can't be a college student without a major. There is no doubt that college students should study hard on the word "specialized", but they should study hard on the word "big". In other words, it is not enough to know only a little specialty. We must also be "refined" and "deep" professionally. As the saying goes, learning without being good means not learning. It can be said that if you are not proficient, you have no major, and if you don't have a major, you are not a college student.
Our textbooks may be "specialized", but they are not necessarily "big". No matter whether the textbook meets the requirements of large and specialized, we should study it deeply and systematically. Some people take the postgraduate entrance examination, which is a big step towards "specialization". Not everyone has to go this way, but not taking the exam does not mean not learning. Because you are labeled as inferior, you should study more. More than a dozen professional textbooks are far from enough. But many people are too limited in their majors, and some people are 40 years old and haven't started studying yet. Can such people be called college students and handsome guys?
In addition to systematic professional knowledge, you must also be "knowledgeable". Only this "⊥"-type knowledge structure can make you" profound "achievements, let you stand firm, let you not fall into a dead end, and give full play to your major to a greater extent, because everyone knows that no major event can be solved only by professional knowledge.
There are only 40 books in four years in college. If you learn 80 books and 120 books, you just don't have to be afraid of Tsinghua Peking University. Even if I am the meanest "three books", I am worthy of being a college student.
Second, greatness:
Specialty only solves the problem of doing things, and quality can solve the problem of being a man. If you don't solve the problem of being a man, you may have a hard time doing things or not doing them for a long time.
All animals have a set of basic rules of behavior: seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. But man is a socialized individual, and his code of conduct is much more complicated. Individual values are formed and developed in the process of socialization, and are constantly collided, tested and revised. In social, aesthetic, economic, political, religious, theoretical and other aspects, some different expressions have been formed, mixed with emotions and expressed in behavior. This is quality. Quality is a stronger psychological characteristic honed from individual psychological characteristics. It is a person's texture, temperament is innate texture, and quality is acquired texture. Looking at people's quality from one angle is nothing more than five categories:
True or false: integrity, honesty, loyalty, treachery, hypocrisy, goodness and evil: kindness, meekness, kindness, doting, ferocity, cruelty, beauty and ugliness: beauty, harmony, conciseness, neatness, disorder and roughness. time walk: patience, perseverance, impulsiveness, procrastination and laziness. Space expansion: adventure, openness and fraternity.
Each category has good parts and bad parts, and their different combinations form different qualities and personalities of everyone, which determines what emotions can be accepted and what things can pass through you, which determines whether you are humble or great. The outside world also does you according to the quality evaluation. Not all the wood with the same thickness can be used as a pillar, some can only be sawed into rafters, some can only be chopped into firewood, and some rot on the ground. No one is sorry. It's all about the material. I mentioned in "The Guarantee of Life" that there are only two ways to succeed, one is interest, and the other is being given responsibility by the organization. Then why did the organization entrust you with the heavy responsibility? It is because of your quality that people believe that you can bear the trust of the organization. By organizing and serving the society, your strength will be magnified ten million times. Whether you start your own organization or are entrusted with an important task by the organization, success is only a lifelong dream if there is no matching quality.
However, you can't have a quality that is not honed! ? Tempering quality is entirely a personal matter, not a matter of college textbooks. Anyone can be a demon or a virtue. What is a man of great virtue? Of course, he is a man with ideals, a big mind and a big pattern. What should a college student do? That's a man who struggles with his negative qualities! You can't sublimate your feelings to the realm of sages at once, become a Buddha and become a universal being. This is more or less a joke. How can I be qualified to study for the rise of China? In fact, how many people are thinking about changing society and how many people are thinking about changing themselves!
The so-called tempering quality is a painful experience, against hypocrisy, cowardice, laziness, procrastination, narrowness and selfishness! Just like laying a solid foundation, drive out all the loose and frivolous things, nothingness and bubbles in our bodies, forge us into indestructible cast iron, let us bear all the misfortunes and pressures, and let you have a real big mind. You are a college student.
Third, common sense:
It is that your knowledge is different, which is not accidental, but a mode of thinking. Great knowledge is first and foremost great thinking. What is big thinking? Students should know the knowledge of thinking growth, and Piaget, a Swiss psychologist, has made great contributions to this. The development of thinking is divided into five stages and five forms, namely, action thinking, image thinking, image logic thinking, abstract logic thinking and dialectical logic thinking. Infants and young children mainly think in action, which is the bud of thinking before language. He won't say I want a pen. I want a bottle. He'll just grab it. Thinking in images is the main thinking form of early childhood, which is characterized by the combination of language symbols and physical images; Image logical thinking is the logical relationship between images, for example, one apple plus two apples equals three apples; Abstract logical thinking is a logical relationship that is divorced from images, such as pure symbolic operation. Generally 1 1 year-old has complete abstract logical thinking; Dialectical logical thinking is the highest state of thinking, that is, the previous logical relationship may be incorrect, and it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong. Newton's law will be wrong, and killing people will make heroes. The key is to look at which angle and which conditions.
Profound knowledge is followed by faith, which is a firm value, that is, what to stick to regardless of right or wrong? This is a lifelong headache for everyone. A firm belief can only be achieved by a few people. A college student should learn from those successful people and great men their value choices!
Fourth, greatly:
The so-called greatness means that you can control your own behavior, and you are no longer obedient to your parents and teachers as you were in middle school. You are no longer fighting for grades, single-plank bridges and teaching materials, but expressing everything with actions. Your life is no longer purely procedural. In most cases, you are free to control your life and be your own master, which means that you can now forge ahead towards the overall goal of life, rather than what is usually said.
Many people have studied, but failed, and the top three are passable. The reason is that they have not exercised themselves in their behavior patterns, formed the habit of action, kept their promises, and dared to act. They are no different from universities, and even lost a lot of simplicity. They are completely driven by the outside world in their behavior patterns, even more dependent and timid than before. If you want to do something, you can do something in college, and you can see a person's future behavior from many behaviors. There is a college student who goes to Lhasa by bike, a college student who travels around the world by bike, and a college student who has never been out of the library to study Das Kapital for almost a year. These are great performances.
The real college students are those who begin to describe their lives with actions, and those who dare to describe their lives with actions. It is the success formula of Tian Zi I, that is, enthusiasm is enthusiasm in action, venting is venting in action, love is love in action, splitting old life is splitting in action, and getting rich is getting rich in action ... Many people copied several inspirational words and proverbs, but he didn't do any of them, thinking about it but not doing it. Therefore, Xunzi said: the mouth can't speak, the body can be, and the instrument of the country is also; Words can be said and actions can be done, which is also a national treasure. As long as you can do it, whether you can say it or not, you are a great man. Of course, there are few national treasures like Mao Zedong, and it's not bad to become a national instrument!
People who are eager for success are always on the move. Small moves lead to big moves, small success leads to big success, and difficult success leads to easy success. They have created a successful life-the great is actually small.
What is a university? Four great learning also; What is a college student? The four students are all empty and handsome!
