Life is a knockout, but there is also a resurrection at each stage.

I believe that many people have heard from teachers that you have said such a sentence: "You have all come here after selection. The future is going to xxxx. At this point, your success has been completed xx%."

The content that can be filled in here includes the key middle schools, high schools, major schools, or more elaborate, such as a certain key class, a major, or a program of a certain school.

We accepted this view subtly, leaving a clear or vague impression: life is a knockout.

Is this assertion right or wrong?

From the perspective of an undergraduate, the results that can be seen tend to stay where they are after graduation, and then based on the results, how to push back those golden "tags" one by one, even if these The conditions for argumentation may be irresponsible.

As soon as you enter the campus, you will have a variety of people and you said that a certain senior or a certain school sister is a big cow, because ta took the offer of xxx. Here you can also fill in Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, McKinsey, bcg, Harvard, Yale, Cambridge, etc., and so on.

You see, life seems to have entered a new round of knockouts, and we have a new next level reward.

The necessary conditions for a good application result are high gpa, high g/t, cattle push, rich practical experience and certain academic research results.

The essential elements of a good job offer include gpa, hands-on experience, excellent internships and leadership.

This kind of cognition, like the Raiders that you want to play, is repeated and reprinted.

None of the above is wrong.

The obvious peer pressure will drive the "excellent" people at a certain height into a more elaborate funnel for a more refined screening.

From the perspective of social structure, the proportion of people who can truly become "elite" is small. Mills’s description of the “elite” in Power Elite is still far from the sea in the middle of the “ceiling” that most of us can imagine today. The ticket to cross the sea should be similar to the number of tickets to the Noah's Ark at the end of the world. You see, the end of mankind is still telling you, sorry, there is no you in the next round of the knockout.

Even when you think that you have surpassed your competitors according to the previous path, maybe a certain second generation, in a place you didn't expect, made a corner overtaking and then rode the dust.

This part of the above may also be correct.

With the investment bank, consulting, fast-off offer, think about applying b-school a few years later, facing up-or-out.

The pride of the ivy, it is time to think about it a few years later, is to return to the country or continue to seek opportunities, where there will be a vacant pit.

Listening to your supervisor or mentor, telling their 30s and 40s of troubles, they seem to understand and understand, and then write down the small books in their hearts.

The more familiar you are with the rules of the game, the harder it is to escape such a game. It can be path dependent and can be a sedimentation cost. In short, the players are working hard to continue the game.

The deepest part of the undergraduate era is social stratification and mobility. Whether it is in the classroom or in review, I don’t want to accept it from the bottom of my heart, but I have to accept that the fact that we can do is not much, stratification The flow is extremely limited.

We can't do much, but we can still let ourselves live a higher quality life within a certain range. For example, go to an investment bank and consult, at least have a good package and exit opportunity. Coupled with an mba, you can earn two years of life, and a good switch runway opportunity.

Going back, we can try to brush gpa from the time of entering the school, be a leader of the community, it is best to be a club with green channels, and then the internship will begin, and the various seniors will be strong.

The above part is actually repeating the previous meaning.

Because in the process of thinking, the more you want to deny, the more solid it exists.

There will be a chicken soup to tell you that the world of the way of thinking is different. There can be many inspirational stories in life.

In fact, the problem is not your willing, nor how much you love.

From a statistical point of view, the samples that fall around the results of the fit are the majority, and those extreme values ​​are used to describe and record in distinctive words.

Our hearts can be free, but we still can't escape.

So do the things that should be done at each stage, such as gpa not too low, students do not participate in the activities, internship experience whether you are going abroad or work, you can have some, friends must get to know some.

Then, to cultivate your own interests, do one or two things well, you can make a practical project, you can master an art or sports project, or you can master several languages.

In tedx, capex, etc., listen to stories of people of similar age or similar experiences, and look at the Chinese sandwiches on what to do and think about what is going on in the Chinese sandwiches, in enactus, aicec, debate teams, and various styles. Make one or two things in the club and meet one or two people who can be called mentor.

Maybe when the people around you are running around with the investment bank, you will stop and think about what else to do.

Use "Be a fun person" to resist the cruelty of "Life is a knockout", it can be a free travel, it can be a variety of activities, it can be a different hobby and special skills.

In fact, the most important thing is to cultivate a positive and effective way of thinking, to think about what the problem is, how to disassemble and solve it. At least, in the mental mode can give yourself a certain amount of free space.

Although life may be constantly accepting the cakes painted by others, the cakes you paint, and the cakes that you don't know, the knockout, as long as you win the original, is the greatest success. Give yourself a little more, even if it is a bit of freedom, you have already won.

Ps: Recently, I have come to various festivals to apply for summer intern. Everyone is also relaxed. Summer failed, maybe it opened a new door, at least for me, it was a precious opening experience, thinking that he would definitely consult, and did not expect to be a VC apprentice. In the life knockout, there seems to be a resurrection at every stage.
