After watching this movie, I think that I have seen a lot of topics discussing similar motifs in the past two years. Whether it is Netflix's "Apocalypse of Failure" or "The Manifesto of a Passer," they all talk about how to face challenges and failures. At the end of the day, we fail to name and use a one-way evaluation system because this system has been around for so long that it has been internalized into the value system of everyone who has taken the test.
So I want to carry a 20-year-old content:
Seeing the news from the postgraduate laboratory of Dagong, I felt like I was stuck in my throat for three days, but today I sorted out my thoughts and talked about this matter.
I have experienced similar feelings, and a few silly thoughts flashed through my mind.
Parents care, teachers encourage, and friends are all good, but I just can't study, especially when I take the entrance exam. At that time, I felt that the problems I encountered were probably because I was not good enough, and I couldn't accept this not good enough self. To put it nicely, this is called strong self-driving force; the actual situation is often the persecution of oneself, and the pressure on oneself cannot go on.
But the exams won't necessarily change. Many friends who are studying for a postgraduate degree and Ph.D. have expressed similar views: scientific research is actually a job, but it is difficult to get a little bit of hard work.
Although still in school, scientific research is already labor that requires the production of results, but there is no standard guarantee of labor, and there are few short-term visible results and proportional returns. The nature of scientific research determines that most of the time, labor has no positive feedback.
The lack of positive feedback is terrifying to us without a sense of purpose. We have always lived in a one-dimensional evaluation system, and the purpose of learning is for a better high school, a better university, and a better degree.
The so-called goal and motivation is to be admitted to XX, just wait until XX, if not, then at least at this stage you are a loser, and you need to use double success to prove that your life is not bad.
Moreover, this kind of evaluation system is one-way. There is no room for people to give up. The biggest pressure on people is to take one step slowly and slowly. If you miss this step, you will not be able to keep up with the large army. This mode of thinking has been internalized in most people who take the college entrance examination.
Having a good education is for a better job, better economic conditions, and a happier family. As winners on this track, we rarely think about what would happen if I didn't get there? Like, what if I didn't go to college? What if I don't do jobs that make money?
If you don't follow the track, your parents will be sad, your friends will feel like a failure, and you will be disappointed in yourself. In short, it will face the pressure of public opinion that larger individuals cannot bear.
Just like the previous paragraph, the left-behind girl applied for Peking University with a score of 676. Instead of choosing a major in computer or finance, she applied for an archaeology major based on her interest, a major that is considered hard and tiring and does not make money.
Even though she was admitted to Peking University and has completed this stage of "success", she still suffered a lot of pressure from public opinion in the early stage.
The reason is very simple: archaeology can not make a lot of money, can not be a high-ranking official.
But what if she is not a champion, not a Peking University student, just an ordinary school, just an ordinary score, and wants to pass her passion in this major? How many people will respect her choice.
Some time ago, Tsinghua University launched a computer + finance double degree program. I estimate that how many people think that the students of this project are "superior to others", and I estimate how many people despise those strays outside the single evaluation system.
It's not the public's fault for having this idea.
There are too few talents in China, and there is a shortage of talents in various industries. The country has devoted all its resources to cultivate talents. I hope that everyone will develop according to the desired trajectory in the talent training plan. It is unbearable for a person to pursue success in a non-worldly sense. For example, the story of graduating from Peking University and selling pork has been dug for many years. .
There are too many talents in China, and there are only a few jobs that can be considered successful in the secular sense.
Therefore, all evaluation systems are very strict. In terms of further studies and employment, there are many opportunities for postgraduate entrance examination adjustment and public examination, as long as fresh graduates, as long as this major, as long as full-time, as long as 985 college graduates. Many times, 985 is not enough, and only some 985 colleges are required to recruit or recruit.
I believe these choices are in line with market laws. It's not that when selecting talents, the admissions unit believes that only these conditions can select talents, but even if the standards are set so strict, they can still pick and watch a fight between gods and gods. Why bother to screen talents. The fight scene of the Qingbei immortals at the Hangzhou Sub-district Office has already illustrated the current competition situation.
This information from the outside aroused students who were still in school and were about to face competition to ask themselves to do better.
In school, in habits, we often receive the discipline of perfectionism, to be extreme, to be perfect, to be a little better than tomorrow... But no one has taught us how to let ourselves go.
Many times, it is difficult for us to accept that we are mediocre, because we have a strong sense of introspection, but our ability may not be enough to change the status quo, so we fall into a vicious circle of pain.
In fact, one step is not necessarily slow. It really doesn't work, you can go the other way. After several years of experience, I feel that a self-defined life is not so scary. There is more than one way to study for a doctorate. After I walked out of school and saw more cases, I felt the most direct and profound feeling.
Most people are not very passionate about doing research. What we need is access to the larger world, more environments, and richer worlds outside the lab.
In my work, I interviewed a student who dropped out of Ph.D., and his story touched me very much: figure out what your core needs are, and you can give up everything else.
"I have always attached great importance to the value of doing something. If I can't achieve it, there is no point in doing it. It doesn't make sense for me to change my doctorate status in five years."
