First of all, I think college students should determine their own goals in life. Wang Guowei divided the struggle of life into three realms with the old saying in "Legend on Earth": First, "Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, and I went up to the tall building alone and looked at the horizon"; Second, "I won't regret that my belt is getting wider, and I will be haggard for Iraq"; The third is "the crowd searched for her for thousands of Baidu, and suddenly looking back, the man was in the dim light." If you look carefully, you will find that it includes the process of establishing life goals, generating will, exercising perseverance, being full of confidence, working hard, and finally achieving goals through thick and thin. It's just that Wang Guowei poeticized the realm of life with an aesthetic eye. For a person, no matter what he does, he must first have a purpose and want to achieve it, which is the beginning of will action; And a clear goal plus a firm ambition to achieve it is an important factor in the success or failure of the will. In order to develop our will, we should not be satisfied with vague desires and hazy yearning. We must be clear: what can and should be the result of the action, in other words, what kind of purpose should we achieve? Therefore, after four years of college, you should determine your goals as soon as possible.
All the great men who have made achievements in history have set great ambitions from the very beginning. Zhuge Liang said, "If you don't want to learn, you must learn." . Confucius said, "I am determined to learn five out of ten." We can't imagine a life without a purpose, and we can't stand such a life. Tolstoy said: "If people don't understand the meaning of the life they live, they can't live at any time."
The content, nature and significance of purpose also play a very important role. The purpose is far-sighted, and it is necessary to consider the interests of groups and individuals. The more meaningful the purpose is, the higher its group interests, that is, its social value, and the stronger the prospect that this purpose may cause. Therefore, first of all, it is of great significance for young people who have just stepped into the knowledge treasure house to clarify the purpose of struggle. So, what is the purpose of our struggle? In my opinion, the purpose of life is to develop one's own life and let it radiate brilliant and never-ending sparks. This process can not only burn yourself, illuminate your future, but also give others light, taking care of yourself and the crowd. This is an ideal and grand goal that we can determine. With such macro goals, you can also determine your micro goals, such as what kind of career you choose, what kind of work you are engaged in, what kind of life you need and what kind of life you live.
2. Cultivate will and perseverance
Noble goals and clear goals promote the emergence of tenacious will. "Great perseverance is only produced for great purposes." What is will? In my opinion, it aims to achieve the established purpose and shows the psychological process in people's conscious behavior. Lermontov put it well: "What can resist a person's strong will? Will contains the whole soul and the whole desire-that is, hatred, love, sympathy, happiness and life; In short, will is everyone's spiritual strength, the ambition to create or destroy something freely, and the creative power to create miracles out of nothing! " College students are adults and should have adult spirit. To be an excellent person, they need strong will, diligence, exploration, discovery and never give in, whether it is secular pressure or inner pain.
At the same time, a strong will needs tenacious perseverance to consolidate, and the cultivation of perseverance needs perseverance and all kinds of difficulties and hardships, including all kinds of failures and setbacks. There are many only children in our current generation of college students, many of whom are taken care of from home and lack perseverance. Through the tempering of cold environment and adversity, cultivate your character and summon up your courage and confidence. Madame Curie encouraged young people: "Our life is not easy, but what does it matter?" Must have perseverance, especially confidence! We must believe that our talent is used to do one thing, no matter how expensive, this kind of thing must be done! "
Build confidence
Good confidence is half the battle. I have been in universities at home and abroad, and I found that there is a significant difference in self-confidence between China college students and foreign college students. Foreign countries often say "OK, no problem", while China people often say "there, there". In my opinion, if college students want to learn well in college, they must have strong self-confidence and firm belief in winning besides their desire for the future, tenacious will and perseverance. Believe in your own strength, and believe that through hard work, diligence and skilled work, your ideal can become a reality. In China University, special emphasis should be placed on self-confidence, enterprising spirit and enterprise. A person should be adventurous and ready to meet and overcome difficulties with his intelligence. Dissatisfaction with existing knowledge and popular ideas and desire to test one's own judgment will also bring great help to the development of creative spirit, and pressure, frustration, blow and pain will further promote the development of this spirit. In short, where there is extraordinary energy, working ability and originality, there is the birth of genius.
There are many opportunities to exercise and build self-confidence in college for several years, so we should seize them. College students never feel that they are an adult, a mature person, whether physically, psychologically or ideologically. Of course, there are inevitable academic and mental pains, youthful worries, and sometimes loneliness and unbearable, but I think it is these things that temper college students day and night, which can make them more independent, self-help, independent, self-reliant and more confident, thus forming their own determined character. I always think that a person should have perseverance and self-confidence spirit, which is very important for career development. I think every college student should cultivate one of his own advantages, that is, he has firm self-confidence, can firmly believe in himself, is not depressed, does not feel inferior, can do what he needs to do independently, and has courage and courage; Especially at the critical moment of life, you should know that one must put an end to all cowardice and hesitation, stick to a clear goal and dare to rush as long as there is hope. The road is self-made, and only by daring to walk can it be wider and wider.
"It's hard to say what is impossible, because yesterday's dream can be today's hope or tomorrow's reality." When all these are put into practice, your goal of "suddenly looking back" is really in sight.
4. Creative thinking ability
What qualities should be cultivated during college? This is indeed a question that every college student should seriously consider. I think the most important goal of colleges and universities should be to cultivate intellectuals with independent thinking and independent action ability. We are in an era of knowledge explosion, and knowledge is updated every few years. For a college student, it is always the first to cultivate and develop his ability of independent thinking and independent judgment. Only in this way can we become active, original and creative talents. Ability is the most important thing to be cultivated in universities, and knowledge is the second. This ability will always affect our way of thinking, judgment and decision-making, and our vision in future life. The main task of students' study is to learn creative and independent mental work, and they must work hard to accomplish everything independently. Tolstoy once pointed out brilliantly: "If the result of students' study at school is that they can't create anything, then his life will always be plagiarism and imitation. "In today's China, due to the lack of democratic tradition in history, many people in society and schools are conformist, inflexible, timid and even ignorant. In today's rapidly changing world, such people are easily left behind by our rapidly developing society. So, in the final analysis, going to college is to learn the ability to analyze and solve problems!
Therefore, if college students in China want to become useful talents, they must first dare to create this level. People say that young people are the most energetic, because young people don't have so much ideological burden, and fresh experiences attract them the most. Therefore, we should give full play to young people's spirit of being energetic, daring to think and act, and not superstitious about authority, and never let their thoughts and feelings yield to secular views, which should be cultivated during college.
5. Dare to innovate and think independently
Einstein said: "Without creative people who think independently and judge independently, the upward development of society is unimaginable, just as without social soil that supplies nutrients, the development of human personality is unimaginable." In my opinion, Einstein's words are aimed at young people first.
The process from learning to creation should be like this: learning, accumulation, thinking, application, development and creation. From a biological point of view: knowledge is gradually accumulated in brain cells, and the more accumulated, the smarter people are. In other words, if a new thing is reflected in a knowledgeable mind, it will be related to the accumulated knowledge in the mind in one way or another, forming a rich imagination. Thinking makes this new thing get a more comprehensive understanding, so that creativity can be developed. However, how can we better cultivate our ability to analyze and solve problems independently and cultivate our original spirit in the process of learning?
Let's talk about people themselves. Generally speaking, people can be divided into two categories. One kind of people are prone to react strongly to the external stimuli of others' thoughts. Another kind of people are used to passively accepting everything. The former group questioned everything taught to them even when they were children and rebelled against traditions and customs. They are curious and want to explore things by themselves; The second kind of people can adapt to life more easily, and can accumulate the knowledge taught by formal education under the same conditions. The mind of the latter kind of people is full of accepted and fixed ideas, while the former kind of people have fewer fixed ideas, and their thoughts are more free and diverse. Obviously, the first kind of people are suitable for creative work, and we should also strive to become the first kind of people. To make yourself develop in this respect, we must first read what we have learned critically. There is an old saying: "It is better to believe in books than to have no books." Adhere to the stand of independent thinking and open the possibility of self-creation.
Secondly, we should get into the habit of comparing the contents of the book with our own knowledge and experience, find out the meaningful similarities and differences, find out the regular things, and make bold guesses and imaginations on this basis. On the other hand, we must cultivate our extensive interest in many subjects, because real creativity is rooted in profound knowledge. People with rich knowledge and experience are more likely to produce new associations and unique opinions than those with only one kind of knowledge and experience.
At the same time, we should not be afraid of making mistakes and being frustrated. Fear of mistakes will undermine progress. If you want to pursue something, you must make mistakes. Dewey said: "What makes a person who is not used to thinking can only feel depressed and annoyed is the encouragement and guidance to a well-trained explorer." Mistakes are often associated with bold speculation and imagination. Without bold speculation and imagination, there will be no originality.
To sum up, students should know, know, understand and create. "Knowledge" is not only a grasp of basic facts, but also a critical attitude. "Knowing" means applying what you have learned, getting practical results, and "knowing" to mastery. "Understanding" refers not so much to how much knowledge you have as to the quality of your thinking. Rather than "should know", it is better to say "should be good at considering problems." We should open up our own thinking in order to have a deeper understanding. "Understanding" should also master the correct way of thinking. What we should remember is not the conclusion, but the method. All this is for "creation", that is, discovering what the predecessors did not find and contributing what the predecessors did not. These four aspects are the premise and result of each other, and their root lies in "doubt". Only doubt can distinguish right from wrong, never be satisfied, find something and make progress. Chen Xianzhang once said, "The predecessors said that learning is expensive and knowing doubts, and small doubts are small; Great doubt leads to great progress, and skeptics have a chance to realize it. Some enlightenment, some progress. " This sentence is worth remembering. Cai said: "If you are ambitious, don't stop there. However, people who lack strength cannot reach it. Don't suffer from the inability of others, and suffer from your own reluctance. " College students should learn from their predecessors, be ambitious, do great things, study hard, think hard, dare to think and do, and be brave in creation.
6. Establish an outlook on life
There is also a very important link in the university, that is, the establishment of one's outlook on life. Many college students yearn for a noble life and hope to be a person who makes a difference and is beneficial to society. At the same time, I hope I don't waste my youth, and I don't waste my precious life only once. During these years in college, college students have read a lot of books and met many teachers, classmates and friends, which has a great influence on them. Coupled with personal experiences from childhood, they gradually become more convinced that they should work hard and strive to become a successful person: since they came to this world as a person, they should reflect their own life value, make their lives meaningful, be responsible for themselves and play a positive role in society and social development. You know, life is complicated, complicated and colorful. If a person wants to know himself and life, his whole life may not be enough. The long and short road of life is full of flowers and thorns, and the sky of life is both sunny and thunderous. Life may be a process in which the will to survive, the will to develop, the will to struggle and the pain of frustration and failure constantly compete. We are more and more aware that life is full of opportunities and challenges, and people should keep moving forward until the end of their lives. Life is beautiful, but it is like a bunch of roses with thorns. If it's not good, stick it. College students often don't know what kind of fate awaits them in the future, but what they are waiting for is to struggle, act and make a difference, constantly enrich themselves and benefit the society. In my opinion, it is the happiest thing in a person's life to seek the understanding and inheritance of the best human knowledge, absorb the known and unknown wisdom, and create and complete his own career.
7. Be good at communicating with friends
In college, the communication between people and young people is an important and inevitable thing. In the process of communication, college students have a better understanding of young people and themselves. Every young person has his own ideals and ambitions. Discussing study, living and exchanging ideas together will give generate the vitality of youth. Young people are a generation full of hope. "The whole mystery of youth lies not in being able to do everything, but in wanting to do everything." Turgenev believes that young people have hopes and dreams, and mutual encouragement is essential. Young friends can be said to be a good mirror, which can show each other's advantages and disadvantages. There are many positive things in human nature that are fully reflected in young people. Being with college friends is a good opportunity to exercise yourself. How to get along with classmates and friends, including friends of the opposite sex, is a part of forming a complete personality. Inspired by them, we can see ourselves, find ourselves and improve ourselves. This process will not end with age, but will continue. At the same time, the ability to deal with interpersonal relationships is our lifelong benefit. It has become an important part of college students' life for friends to communicate their hearts, collide with sparks of thought, communicate their feelings, care for each other and communicate. Specifically, college students' roommate relationship is interpersonal communication with people who study and live together every day, which greatly tests their ability to communicate with others. In addition, it is also important to communicate with people in society. We should expand our contact area, not confine ourselves to the ivory tower of the school, not to the pile of old newspapers. Be good at learning from successful people and regard their today as their tomorrow.
8. Focus on practice and action.
It is also important for college students to create practical opportunities. It is necessary to cultivate ideological strength as well as practical strength and action strength. College students are not free when they start their internship, but life can start from non-freedom to relative freedom, or from being unable to control their own destiny to gradually being able to control their own destiny. Life is not a stage, as Shakespeare said, but a battlefield, a test paper of fate, and various situations that need to be answered constantly; We can't hand in a blank sheet of paper. Life is a chess game. If one or more steps are wrong, the whole game will be lost. Life should have thoughts, but thoughts are not the purpose of life; What determines the value of life is not only people's beautiful thoughts, but also their actions. In the past, people have repeatedly discussed the question of "knowing and doing" first. I think action is everything, and action is the first. Mozi said "do whatever you want, do whatever you want", that is to say, put your will into action, and that is action. Therefore, college students should try to explore opportunities for social practice and work practice, including practices inside and outside the school, including volunteer work, community work, enterprise practice and company practice. Even if there is no chance, it is a good exercise and a way to get in touch with society. I think, the earlier you accumulate this aspect and the more you practice it, the richer the deposits in the life bank will be and the more interest will be, because experience is wealth.
9. Professional gains and extensive reading
It is also very important to have a major in the four years of university study, which requires both precision and breadth. University study has broadened my horizons, enriched my thoughts and broadened my mind. I am basically satisfied with my mastery of professional knowledge, and more importantly, I feel that I have formed good study habits and a set of my own methods. If I can spend 60% of my energy to get 80 points, I won't spend 100% of my energy to get 90 points. I will devote 40% of my energy to extensive reading. My extensive interests in literature, philosophy, economics, sociology, psychology, political science and many other aspects did not affect my professional interests, but complemented each other and formed an organic internal growth. This hobby of miscellaneous subjects is of great benefit to my future study in business administration. Because the manager is the general manager, he is not a professional expert, but a sage with comprehensive decision-making ability. It can be said that my later experience made me realize that it is very important to train my ability to understand, analyze, study and solve problems in college. An accomplished person often not only chews specialized courses in textbooks during his college years, but also broadens his horizons and knowledge, because in his later work, he will find opportunities and really useful things that you can't help touching. We should also master foreign languages and the Internet. 2 1 century, people who don't know foreign languages and the internet will be almost semi-illiterate.
10. Pay attention to life and career planning
Life and career planning should start as soon as possible. The hardest thing in life is to know yourself. The sooner you can find your interest and make unremitting efforts for it, life is actually half finished. People often need a lot of thinking and practice to find their excitement, their hobbies and their competitive advantage in life. University is a good opportunity to think and practice like this. You should start your life and career planning as soon as possible. Foreign middle school students set up career planning courses, and cultivate students' thinking habits of planning their lives and careers from middle school. I think this is very important. If we college students don't know what we want to do when we graduate, then such a college career is not efficient. College students should make full use of all kinds of favorable conditions during their college years, spare some time, think about it, design their own life and career, and sharpen their knives without cutting wood by mistake. The difference between people is that many people have made their own life plans and career plans long ago, and created all conditions to work hard in this direction, and finally succeeded. After four years in college, it is time for students to start their life and career planning.
How to spend the four-year career of undergraduate study? After graduating from college, I miss my classmates and teenagers. They are full of enthusiasm, pointing out the mountains and inspiring people. In the future, I will recall how I pursued the olive tree in my dream, how I found my ideal, the fulcrum of my life, the driving force for progress, and how I studied hard and struggled. 2 1 century, college students are stepping into the global society. Are you ready for a new milestone in your life?
