What is the purpose of going to college?
First of all, I went to college for myself, not for others.

Many college students think that my major and school are my parents' choices, and it is also my parents' requirement to go to college hard. I go to college for my parents. This view is all wet. No matter from which angle, you go to college for yourself, not for your parents, not for others. This is the fundamental starting point and end result of going to college, and it is also the most fundamental destination.

The process of professional study, experience and growth during college, and the process of improving quality and ability are all processes of accumulating development strength for oneself in the future. What this process really creates is your own ability, not others, and others will not and cannot replace you.

Judging from the results of going to college, no matter what career or job you are engaged in in in the future, it is supported by what you have learned and cannot be replaced by others. Therefore, we should always hold the mentality of going to college for ourselves and fighting for our future, and do a good job in our study and life during college.

Secondly, the direct purpose and fundamental motivation of going to college is employment.

It's nonsense to go to college without the purpose of employment. From the development history of universities and higher education, only this kind of university is closely integrated with social development. On the one hand, it promotes social progress through talents trained by universities, and on the other hand, social progress promotes university development. The two can cooperate with each other to better promote social development and university development.

For college students, whether studying in top universities or ordinary colleges, it is always inevitable to apply what they have learned to their work, that is, employment. Some people will say that going to college is only for employment, which is a bit underestimating the ideal.

If you ask me, I don't underestimate it at all. On the contrary, you can get employment and get full employment, which shows that you can have the basic conditions to realize your ideal. If you go to college but can't find a successful job, isn't that a waste of youth?

Finally, going to college is the best way to fully mature and develop life.

In the process of personal growth, we will meet all kinds of teachers and experience more than ten or even decades of study and education. But in the final analysis, learning during college is the main stage and process of individual's all-round development.

At this stage, we should not only learn professional knowledge, but also learn how to be a man, how to face setbacks and pressures, and how to improve ourselves. This process is of great significance to life. During this period, it will not only shape personality, but also have a far-reaching impact on a person's world outlook, outlook on life and values, which will accompany him for the rest of his life.

Therefore, the significance of going to college is that I can grow up successfully and stand firm under the cruel social competition through college study. This is also the fundamental reason why the characteristics and coping levels of people who have gone to college and those who have not.

View of learning

The concept of comprehensive learning means that learners should learn in as many ways and levels as possible with a strong and extensive interest in learning, actively expand their knowledge, enrich their knowledge structure, and promote themselves to become adaptable compound talents. It is emphasized that while learning professional knowledge well, we should extensively dabble in the knowledge of related disciplines, so as to combine specialty with wide range and integrate theory with practice.

There used to be a jingle in China: "Learn mathematics and physics well, and you are not afraid to travel all over the world", which had a certain social reality at that time. However, at present, with the rapid development of science and technology and economy, the social division of labor is getting finer and finer, and the complexity of social production and life is getting higher and higher, which requires people to have a highly developed ability system. Only people with strong comprehensive ability can compete in modern times.

Modern talents should not only have solid and generous subject knowledge, but also have the ability to apply knowledge to social practice and innovation. Of course, comprehensive learning is not an all-round blow or even an effort, and it is necessary to prevent lack of focus, glitz and formalism. While learning professional knowledge well, we should extensively dabble in related disciplines, so as to combine specialization with extensiveness and theory with practice.

Extended data

When learning written culture, we should also pay attention to the following points:

First of all, we should understand the source and development of the knowledge we have learned, master the basic meaning of some concepts, formulas or principles and the process of their derivation and demonstration, and correctly understand the position and role of these concepts, formulas and principles in this discipline.

For example, in the field of law, many people think that "everyone is equal before the law" is advocated by the emerging bourgeoisie in the Renaissance. In fact, as early as ancient Greece, politician Pericles put forward this view.

Many people talk about Tanner's "artistic philosophy" about the western "geographical environmental determinism", but they don't know that Plato already has the idea of "geographical environmental determinism". Many people don't know that the "game theory" of the origin of literature and art can be traced back to democritus.

Secondly, we should try our best to discover and master the internal relationship between books, disciplines, written culture and non-written culture, and integrate the learned written culture, instead of fragmented knowledge fragments and some dead dogmas.

For example, in the field of art, Leonardo da Vinci applied the human body structure and perspective principles learned from anatomy to painting; In the field of management, people can apply mathematical methods to economic management and personnel management, and the uncertain relationship between fuzzy mathematics and physics (also known as uncertainty principle) can be applied to social analysis to reveal the complexity and fuzziness of things.

Third, when learning written culture, we should also pay attention to the timeliness of written culture. The so-called "knowledge explosion" essentially highlights the timeliness of knowledge, because it is an indisputable fact that although a lot of knowledge will die before it is born, it will soon be eliminated by new knowledge and new theories with the progress of science and technology and the development of society.

Whether it is natural science or social science, some theories and doctrines will die out to some extent, or be called a flash in the pan, thus reflecting the relativity of truth and value. In the history of astronomy, from the theory of "the center of the earth" to the theory of "the center of the sun" to the new theory of the universe, it reflects the development and progress of astronomy. Today, there has been a great breakthrough in the view of planets in the universe.

In social science, new ideas and ideas emerge one after another, changing with each passing day. Therefore, learning knowledge should pay special attention to the internal development logic of knowledge, pursue the development of knowledge with the times, not only master the necessary traditional knowledge, but also learn and master new knowledge in time to find new knowledge growth points, so as to integrate old and new knowledge and grasp its internal development trend.

Fourth, it is necessary to contact the internal relationship between writing culture and social practice. On the one hand, we should use written culture to guide social practice, on the other hand, we should use social practice to test written culture in turn, so that written culture and social practice can be closely linked and communicated to promote each other.

In this way, the written culture has been further displayed and deepened in practice; Practice can achieve twice the result with half the effort by further clarifying the direction and purpose under the guidance of written culture.

Finally, it is especially important to point out that you must read good books when reading. There is a saying in Wang Chong's Lun Heng Wen Yi: "A scholar's pen exhorts good and punishes evil." What Wang Chong refers to here is that books written by noble literati have the function of "persuading good and punishing evil". It can be said that reading great books is like learning from great men and making friends with them. Over time, readers will be subtly influenced and sublimated.

Xunzi's article "Encouraging Learning" said: "If you don't climb the mountain, you don't know the height of the sky; Don't face the deep stream, I don't know the thickness of the ground; If you don't listen to the last words of the late king, you don't know the greatness of learning. " As the cultural accumulation of China's history, Xunzi's "the last words of the late king", which is what we now call the traditional classics, still has strong vitality and is worth learning and learning from today.
