The joint entrance exam can't decide your destiny

A letter to the students who failed to pass the exam: the joint test can not decide your destiny

Without a diploma, you can have a culture;

Without qualifications, you can have the ability;

Just like no beauty, you can have temperament;

No one can stop you unless you don't want it yourself!

The joint entrance exam can't decide your destiny!

Hello, everyone!

Suddenly, I found that the annual joint entrance exam will come again. As a person who was "tossed" by the joint entrance examination in the past, I couldn't help but fall into reflection again. The people on the list, the people who have fallen, the tens of millions of students, and the life has undergone a major turning point.

What should I do after the transition? The people on the list can also continue to follow the route designed by the education model for four years. What about the life path? So inspired me to write this letter. I, some people who have dropped out of high school because of fear of the joint entrance exam, give you some words.

First, let me briefly introduce my growth process.

I was born in 1980. I was admitted to the key high school in the county in 1996. In 1999, when I was 19, I dropped out because of the pressure of academics.

My high school grades were at the edge of the admission scores, which means that I was admitted accidentally. I couldn't take it without care. In that case, I am under great pressure: what if I can't get it? How do friends, friends and teachers see me? Finally, I couldn’t stand this pressure, dropped out of school early, and fled the entrance exam. Speaking of this, what I want to say is: At that time, I didn’t even have the courage to take the joint entrance exam, and you all bravely persisted in the end. From this point of view, you are stronger than me!

The psychological pressure of the joint exams that year has brought me so much that it still exists. Just last night, I dreamt about the joint exam. In fact, during the annual entrance exam after dropping out of school, I will dream, or be a nightmare, dreaming about the tension and fear before joining the entrance exam, or dreams, dreaming of happiness after being admitted to college.

After dropping out of school, I spent a year and a half at home – working on the construction site, working at the factory, working in the countryside, and doing small business – I felt that I couldn’t mix it like this, so at the age of 20 I came to Jinan. Because there is no education, I can't find a decent job. So I just go to a restaurant to work, and I have been working as a vegetable worker, a handyman, and a dishwasher.

During his time at the hotel, he never gave up the opportunity to find a "decent" job. At the age of 21, he entered a small advertising company to do the copywriting planning. After less than two months of work, he was promoted to the project manager and became the planning director by three months. During the advertising company, I put some of my ideas into articles, sent them to some magazines, and the results were published. So at the age of 22, he became the most authoritative magazine and website columnist in China Marketing, such as Sales and Marketing and China Marketing Communication Network.

Just then, my article was seen by the boss of a famous company, and he hired me to be the brand director. That year, I began to hold a national brand public lecture and was invited to the university to give a special lecture.

Later, my development began to enter the highway:

At the age of 23, several companies and consulting and planning companies began to ask me to be brand consultants. At that time, the monthly income exceeded 10,000 yuan.

At the age of 24, at that time, the country was more famous, and the largest marketing planning agency in Shandong Province asked me to be the general manager, and was hired as a director and researcher of the Shandong Management Research Association.

At the age of 25, he won the "Special Contribution to Chinese Brand Building" award in the Great Hall of the People;

At the age of 26, I founded the Italian brand planning company in Shanghai. I have already conducted brand planning and consulting services for many famous brands.

At the age of 27, I bought my favorite BMW car.

At the age of 28, he served as an expert consultant for "My Learning Network" together with Google Global Vice President Li Kaifu and the first Chinese President Chen Chaoyi and other experts at home and abroad. He began to lecture at universities and was hired by many universities such as Shandong University. Specially hired experts, college students growth consultants.

Ok, now I want to talk to you about a few important points:

First, poor grades do not mean poor ability;

Poor test scores can only prove that your cultural score is not good enough. And human success requires comprehensive ability, and cultural points are only one aspect. Such as communication skills, ability to find problems, ability to solve problems, ability to overcome difficulties, and so on.

In fact, the phenomenon of high scores and low energy has become a serious problem in our education. Because of the excessive emphasis on learning scores and excessive pursuit of high scores, it led to the lack of other comprehensive capabilities.

Zhu Qingshi, former president of the University of Science and Technology of China and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, once lamented: "The education of elite schools pursuing high scores is actually the most unfavorable for talents. The high scores of famous schools have caused many outstanding talents to be killed."

The late famous mathematician Chen Shengshen once wrote an inscription to the juvenile class of the University of Science and Technology of China: Do not take 100 points. This makes many parents do not understand: Who does not want their children to take full marks? Zhu Qingshi understands the meaning of Mr. Chen's sentence: students do learning, master the essence of the essence, take a test of seven or eighty, you can. Don't waste time on the minutiae for the 100 points. Zhu Qingshi said, "Don't destroy the children's ability to innovate, waste wisdom and intelligence, make people's morality and morality twist and turn, and let them become the machine for examination."

Therefore, it is precisely because "good students" are too obedient to our "exam" education model, and they are pursuing high scores. Therefore, while they have scored good results, they have also banned their own thoughts and banned the generation of other abilities.

According to Tian Wenjiang, deputy director of the Wuhan Municipal Education Bureau, who has a doctoral degree or a research expert on China's educational strategy, the first "China's No. 1 Workplace Survey" shows that the province's provincial champions were annihilated for 30 years from 1977 to 2006. Did not find an outstanding talent in politics, business, learning and so on.

Conversely, some students with poor grades, because of too many ideas and too much brain, lead to poor academic performance. However, the ability to think and solve problems has been greatly improved, which has laid a more solid foundation for them to enter the society to create value in the future.

What is sad is that this view has not attracted the attention of the society, and the idea of ​​"one test for life" has been prevalent: how many students have been poisoned by the idea of ​​"cannot be admitted to the university in this life?" How many families have been poisoned?

Second, you just missed the list, not the list!

What is the list? As the name implies, it is "falling down" and "falling" down. The meaning behind it is over. In fact? Really finished? surely not! Therefore, without being admitted to the university, at best, it is called "lost list", and accidentally lost a development opportunity on the list. The meaning behind this is: You have other ways to grow and develop.

"Lost list" means that you have not fallen, just to prove that you are not suitable to take the "exam" route, you need to choose another path. Success is different, each has its own achievements. The road is different.

Why are the concepts of poisonous people in these feudal societies still using it?

Originally, a student is full of confidence in life and full of passion, but teachers and parents always say that if you can't go to college, you are finished! When I really didn't go to college, my parents panicked: I'm done! Falling the list! Falling in the mountains! What can children do in this life? This kind of thinking has greatly obliterated the confidence and passion of students to continue to grow! This is the biggest poison!

Therefore, for students who have not been admitted to college, it is not a failure for teachers and parents to go to college. If they fail to treat the attitude of the "list" correctly, it is a real failure. If they think they have fallen, they are finished. Then, what you lost is not only the entrance exam, but the confidence in the whole life!

In fact, our education has begun to reform: Dai Jiagan, director of the Teacher Center of the Ministry of Education, pointed out that an examination cannot determine a person's life. The future entrance examination system will include academic level tests and comprehensive evaluations to change the “one-year life-long test”. Ways to test.

What does this prove? Prove that if this reform is implemented, you may be admitted to the university without being admitted to the university, and some people who have been admitted to the university may not be able to take it.

The vast majority of so-called "falling students" is not a failure to go to college, but a failure in the society's "finished" position for you. 10 years ago, I didn't go to college. In the social environment where I was even more "not finished," I was under more pressure. I was very inferior, but I never gave up. In turn, I still Turn this powerful sense of inferiority into motivation. In a speech into the University of Shanda, some students asked me: What is the driving force for your hard work and growth over the years? I said: "It is a self-esteem from the heart! Since I dropped out of high school, I feel that many people around me have begun to "deny" me and "taunt" me, so I am very inferior. In order to prove that I am not bad, I have been studying hard. .

Classmates, the joint entrance exam, this time did not prove yourself, then change the route to prove yourself!

Therefore, students, please remember: the so-called "falling the list" is just another starting point in life.

The so-called "falling list" just proves that you are not suitable for taking the test route, and there are many other routes that you can choose.

Third, the joint entrance exam is out of the list, there are still many roads for development that you can choose;

First of all, you can choose to repeat.

If you just have a bad grade because the exam is not playing well, or if the scores of a certain subject are delayed, you can choose to repeat and fill in the missing areas. Repeat, you have been delayed for a year, and may be a chance to grow up in your life.

My good friend, Mr. Liu Yuetan, is a moving case. He learned from the national minors, the national examinations, the high school entrance examinations, and the high school entrance examinations. After the first joint exam, he chose to repeat, and he barely got a general college. But when I arrived at the university, the open learning environment made him out of control: first, he graduated from a junior college, then graduated, then read a doctor, and then was sent by the Ministry of Education to marketing and communication to the world's top university, Missouri, USA. University - After studying as a postdoctoral student, he is now an assistant to the dean of the School of Literature and Communication of Shandong University, an associate professor and a master tutor. You can search online for "Liu Yuetan" to log in to his blog.

Second, you can choose to teach yourself.

If you have an obvious hobby, then you should go and learn by yourself. Like me, I love advertising very much. The happiest thing every day is to learn advertising and learn brand planning. After a few years, I can develop.

My good friend, Mr. Su Qiang, went to university to study engineering. He dropped out of school when he was a junior. Although he did not finish college, he was very passionate about marketing. He was very devoted to marketing and was later hired by Shi Yuzhu’s Jiante Company. After several years of training, he has become an expert in the marketing industry. He became a columnist in the most authoritative magazines and websites of the marketing industry, and was hired as an expert by the university. You can search for "Su Qiang Marketing" to find out about him online.

There are no examples of going to college, but learning according to your own interests, and growing up to develop.

If you are self-study, you can choose to study for a period of time, or you can choose to take part in a specific job and study while you work.

Stepping into society means stepping into a social university. The society itself and a job itself are the best universities. Just graduated, we do have a lot of deficiencies, such as insufficient professional knowledge, insufficient social communication skills, etc., but it does not matter, we can choose a basic work to do first, the key is to learn in the process of work, to study, go Grow, don't start to meet because you find a job, and stagnate.

In the course of work, you can read a lot of books through the company's resource platform, participate in many practices, learn from other seniors of the company, etc., all of which are good ways to learn and grow. You can also choose some social training to enrich yourself according to your own deficiencies, such as professional training, English, computer and other basic knowledge training, business etiquette, interpersonal communication training, etc.

In short, there is a chance to go to participate, to learn, do not take money as an important thing, you only go to school four years after attending work! After 4 years, you may be better than your classmates who just graduated from college!

Fourth, not going to college does not mean that you can't go to college books, you can't listen to college classes;

I didn't walk into the university, but the university book was open and the university classroom was open. We can choose a professional college textbook according to personal preferences, and even work in a place close to the university, you can often go to the university classroom to attend classes.

You may wonder: Why didn't I go to college, work at home, work in the city, and then develop in such a short time?

What I want to tell you is: I dropped out of school at the time, but I never gave up studying. Although I had a poor science score at the time, my liberal arts scores were not bad. I like books on literature, management, marketing, and advertising. After I dropped out of school, I was reading this book no matter where I was, whether it was related major. The university textbooks, or various related books in the bookstore, I bought them back.

When I got the chance to work in an advertising company, I actually studied this professional field for nearly three years, and I was eager to learn. I was deeply impressed by going to the Xinhua Bookstore to "steal the book": because I couldn't afford to buy a book, I went to the bookstore to read the book on Saturday and Sunday, and I finished reading it in two days. Because you can't afford it, you have to concentrate on cherishing every minute to see it. You must read the book in two days. Reading books in this way is very efficient.

So what I want to say is: In fact, there is no shortcut for everyone's growth and development. As long as you work hard to learn and work hard, growth and development are inevitable, but when you encounter an opportunity that day, it looks like in the eyes of others. Suddenly "developed." In fact, behind this, it must be your own efforts.

Your high grades are not good, the biggest reason is that you don't like to learn those things. I was like this when I was in high school. The teacher I like to learn is not allowed to learn. I don’t like the teacher who is learning to force you to study. Every day is painful. All right! Now that I graduated from high school, you are finally free, and you can finally choose what you like to learn! You can buy textbooks and books in this area. You can go to work in this area and start to grow up from the grass roots. One day, you will achieve extraordinary achievements!

Speaking of this, I have another point to tell you: After graduating from high school, we have learned a lot of knowledge. Don't think: I graduated from high school, is a "no culture" person, can only do some basic labor. wrong! In fact, the amount of knowledge we graduated from high school is enough for us to develop ourselves in a certain field.

Speaking of this, I also want to say: academic ability, that is, learning ability, is much more important than academic qualifications! How much achievement a person achieves is not how much he has learned in school, but the ability to continue learning in his life. The headmaster of a university in Shanghai once said at the graduation ceremony: When you walked out of the school gate, half of what you learned was useless. It is to tell everyone to continue to learn for life.

So, classmates! Please remember! The key to success in life is not how much you learn on campus, but more importantly, whether you continue to learn.
