Child, if you are not Bill Gates, don’t read Mi Meng’s article

A few days ago, Mimeng, a well-known public account blogger, pushed the article \”Why I support interns taking a leave of absence from school\”, which aroused heated discussion. After reading this article, my first reaction was to be very angry. As the \”number one Internet celebrity in the universe\”, Mi Meng has eight to nine million fans on her official account. We don\’t know the exact number of reads of this article. We only saw 100,000+ and had more than 14,000 likes. I can\’t help but feel angry when I think about how many people have been poisoned by this article. As a public figure and an opinion leader, it is really irresponsible for Mi Meng to express such views. Therefore, when I was angry, my second reaction was: I hope my children in junior high school, no, I hope all students, will not read this article. Mimeng\’s writing style and opinions have always been very sharp. She is very good at grasping and inciting readers\’ emotions, and consuming them to create explosive articles on the Internet. After reading her articles, people often get excited and feel as if they can rush forward to fight with spear and gun at any time. And if you read classics often, you will find that the biggest difference between classics and popular articles is: after reading classics, your heart will be peaceful and peaceful, and you will be willing to sit down, think quietly, taste carefully, and finally gain something. Enlightenment, gain something. If this is at a small symposium, or at a family gathering, or at a gathering of friends, in a specific small group, there may be nothing wrong with Mi Meng\’s view of encouraging students to take a leave of absence from school. Because in small groups, you know who will hear your voice and what their background is generally like. The people you talk to are screened. Maybe they have finished college or even reached middle age, maybe the college they are studying in is terrible, maybe they are all gifted in some way, and all of them are Bill Gates. But what is the official account? The word \”public\” may explain some problems. Your fans have not been screened, and you cannot be sure who is reading your articles. As a new thing, self-media may have very few rigid requirements and restrictions. You can complain all day long, you can call \”bitch\” or \”low bitch\” casually, but there are always some bottom lines that should be abided by. . For example, when I share my parenting experience on my official account, it does not mean that I am excellent at parenting, nor does it mean that I have not gone through detours, experienced failures, or lacked knowledge and abilities. Instead, I try my best to sum up experience from success and sum up lessons from failure. The purpose of my sharing is to spread positive energy and help everyone avoid detours. Of course, I am not Lei Feng, biang! Biang! Biang! The whole body is filled with positive energy. There is nothing wrong with venting the negative emotions of public dogs through writing. However, self-media people should have their own bottom line! I wrote an article about Ruan Lingyu not long ago. After reading a lot of information about her, I was particularly shocked by this incident: after Ruan Lingyu passed away, five girls committed suicide in Shanghai alone because of the death of their idol. This incident illustrates how powerful idols are and how easily idiotic fans can be incited. Among Mi Meng\’s fans, there must be many college students in their teens and twenties. Among them, there must be some young people who are confused and hesitant and not satisfied with their majors. These people read this article by Mi Meng,Once your blood boils, you might drop out of school to pursue something. I dare say that there is a high probability that they will regret it in the future. Will they be able to come back to Mi Meng for regret medicine at that time? Mi Meng said in the article: \”Another intern was inspired by her and came to me and said, Boss, I also want to drop out of school.\” This \”encouraged\” intern is about to be a senior, if I were his mother , most of them were so angry that they went to the hospital. Mi Meng described the status of college students in the article: In order to get credits and graduate, they go to class, take selfies, play Honor of Kings, catch up on popular TV series, catch up on sleep, and visit Taobao… The daily life of many college students in China can be described in an American TV series. It can be explained, that is \”The Walking Dead\”. There must be such college students, but they may not necessarily be \”many\”. In many universities, there are many students who study hard. Mi Meng\’s reasons for encouraging students to drop out of school are, first of all, that many of the classes in college now are too unsatisfactory, a waste of time and a waste of life. Many teachers are very careless in class. The intern said that some teachers forgot to bring lesson plans, Baidu a courseware directly on the podium, and read a lesson on the spot. They were really upright and didn\’t bother to cover up their perfunctory behavior. Some teachers\’ teaching materials are from thirty or fifty years ago – allowing you to travel back in time in an instant. I just want to ask: Mi Meng, your intern went to a very low-end university, right? There must be teachers like you, but you said \”many teachers\” are like this. Have you done any statistics? Is there any data to support this? In any industry, there must be hard-working workers, and there will also be practitioners who can cope with troubled waters. In good universities, there are many teachers who are knowledgeable, explain the profound things in simple terms and are full of interesting lectures. I have a very close classmate who returned to his hometown in a prefecture-level city after graduating from graduate school and worked as a teacher at a local university. Once we talked about her work and her students, she said angrily: I am so sad to see them, they are so unmotivated. During the final exam, I was afraid of catching too many people, so I didn’t dare to take the closed-book exam and asked them to submit an assignment. As a result, many people just copied and pasted it online. It\’s okay to just piece it all together and copy it. At least you can make the connection smoother. Some of the students didn\’t even change the garbled characters and handed them over to me directly. I really want to say: No wonder you can’t find a job, damn it! This is a not-so-good university and unmotivated students. What’s the use of blaming the teachers? Mi Meng\’s second reason for encouraging interns to take a break from school is: \”The most difficult thing in life is to find what you like. If you find it, just do it, regardless of bullshit secular standards.\” I am particularly, very, extremely aware of this. Disagree! We often say that children are \”three minutes passionate\” about everything. These \”three minutes\” will not become eternity with a \”boom\” on the day they turn 18. People\’s interests will change over time. The younger you are, the faster this change will be. From the time our children attend interest classes, we know the importance of persistence and never give up at anything. The monkey who went down the mountain told us long ago: If you only like everything for a while, you will probably end up empty-handed. The intern who dropped out of school to go to Mi Meng Company was in his sophomore year, and his major was changed., she doesn’t like it, she likes writing. I was thinking, what if she discovers that she doesn’t like writing anymore in the future, or finds something she likes more than writing? \”Die up Mi Meng\” immediately and leave in style? I once read an article that said that the average person in the next generation will have 5-6 different jobs in their lifetime. How can a person who has not even obtained a college diploma get 4-5 other jobs besides Mi Meng? Without a minimum diploma, the only way that will really have no impact is to start your own business. You are going to apply for a job, but people are not just roundworms in your stomach, so they cannot see that you are full of knowledge. Your ability is invisible and intangible, so there must be proof, right? Employers use diplomas as the first threshold for screening. It is true that they may miss out on outstanding talents, but their purpose is only to find people suitable for that position. It is none of their business whether people with \”capabilities but no academic qualifications\” are buried. ? Mi Meng\’s third reason is: In the Internet age, those wild talents are often the most explosive. She said that 30-40% of occupations may disappear within 20 years. Her reason was like a slap in the face: since so many professions may disappear in the future, then the profession she chose to take a break from school must not be among them? Mimeng and I have different views on whether the major in college is suitable and whether we really like it. I think it is normal that not much of the specific knowledge learned in college can be directly used in the future. For example, if you study advanced mathematics and college English, how many jobs will you need to use them? Even if it is used, it will only be a very small part of it. Even if it is a professional course, even if you find the most suitable job after graduation, there is still a lot of knowledge that you will not use. So is there no point in studying at university? In my opinion, university study is more about learning \”learning methods\”, or methods of solving problems. University teaches you how to learn and solve new problems you will encounter in the future. Rather than having to use your existing knowledge to be meaningful. A diploma is like sending you to a crossroads, or even a crossroads, and taking that as your starting point. From now on, your life will have many possibilities. If you choose a certain direction, even if you find that it is wrong, you can turn around and return to this intersection to start again. As for college students who have dropped out of school, it is like choosing a small fork on the road before reaching this intersection. It is not ruled out that it may lead directly to Rome, but what if it cannot reach Rome? What else can you choose if you look back? After all, what are the benefits of taking a break from college? The intern said: \”I should have taken a break from my freshman year, but now I\’m here as a sophomore. It\’s still a waste of a year.\” So what if it\’s a year early? Make money earlier? Learn more knowledge and climb higher in Mi Meng\’s company a year earlier? Life is not a sprint, it is more like a marathon. Child, if you are not Bill Gates, it is best not to read Mi Meng’s article!
