Have money to buy land rover jokes

As we all know, Ma Yun usually drives a Maibakh 62s worth tens of millions when he goes out, but he takes a Land Rover when he attends a class reunion, which is said to relieve the pressure of his classmates!

In fact, in ordinary people's lives, people who can drive a BMW Mercedes or Land Rover are symbols of the rich, but if Ma Yun drives a Land Rover, it will be low-key to outsiders!

After dinner, an old classmate I haven't seen for years may want to take a photo with Ma Yun as a souvenir. As can be seen from the photo, Ma Yun stood in the middle with a beaming face.

Ma Yun, who was a student, stood in the corner. After all, Ma Yun's position today is different from that in the past. He is already a world-famous business tycoon.

A reunion 20 years after graduation.

Tell you what a failed life is.

Life has been running for 20 years. Who is the winner and what is the reason for losing?

I really want to go to the reunion of old classmates recently. At the class reunion, I can observe with interest what achievements these people who started from me, ranked second with us 20 years ago, and "survived the fittest" in the torrent of the times for more than 20 years have made in today's life.

What will benefit them for life?

What is holding them back?

What makes them what they are today?

Let's talk about those students whose grades are mostly good.

I can tell you about some students' lives:

A classmate is our monitor. She is very strict with herself. But because she worked too hard, the college entrance examination was not so good. She went to an ordinary university. It is said that she was not convinced and was admitted to a graduate school in a university. I haven't heard from her for more than 20 years, and I met her again because a character article was madly circulated on the Internet, and she was an executive of a company with a valuation of 1000 billion US dollars. After careful investigation, I found that the executive was actually her.

In middle school, classmate B was neither wise nor ill, but everyone knew that she got good grades. She didn't go to a good university, but she wasn't too anxious. After graduating from college, she went to read an accounting certificate to kill time because of lovelorn love. Later, she found that there was a training institution for studying abroad next to the training classroom, so she turned the grief of lovelorn into the motivation to learn English. Later, instead of going abroad, she became the chief financial officer of a fortune 500 company.

Student C has little to say except that his composition is good. He went to a third-rate university, and then went to Guangzhou and Beijing to engage in journalism, making the director of a portal earn 500 thousand a year. Because of the entrepreneurial atmosphere of the website, she was also pulled to be the founder, and now she is the vice president of a company with a valuation of billions (she was my deskmate in middle school).

Ding worked as a monitor in the K 12 stage for 12 years, and now she happily resigned as a psychological counselor and became a full-time mother. Looking back on middle school, she said that she hated being a monitor. "I feel a lot of pressure. I must do it well. I didn't do well in the college entrance examination, which has a lot to do with stress. "

E students read and write martial arts novels every day, but they can't control themselves before the college entrance examination. Later, they re-read a specialty in taxation, and then went to towns and counties to collect taxes. A few years ago, she became the director of the tax office specializing in personnel management. She told me that she was going to resign as the director, because business could not go on and life was boring. As a result, I heard a few weeks ago that because she was too ambitious, she actually became the deputy director of taxation.

My classmate is our squadron leader. He has been strict with himself and achieved excellent results in the college entrance examination. Now he is an upright and upright judge in Chongqing court. In the 30 years since I met her 10 to her 42 years old, she has been so naive and serious. It is estimated that this life will make me feel awe.

……

The outline of life mentioned above is true and credible, and the people who happened were middle school graduates from a county in Chongqing.

Among my classmates, there are actually no outstanding figures in the world. This is actually the mainstream fate of some ordinary people in this era. You will find that these people live well.

Most of these students are my junior high school classmates, and the crowd ranges from about 50. More than half of these junior high school students are living in this way.

These decent lives

We can easily see these laws.

Law 1: life is not interlocking, and stepping on the door is not reliable.

Without a good kindergarten, there will be no good primary school, no good primary school, no good middle school, no good university, no good university, no good job and no good life-the legendary interlocking life does not exist, but my classmates basically live a life that can take off at any time.

When we went to college, there was no enrollment expansion, so going to college was victory. There are more than 40 students in our class, and finally more than 30 students went to college, some went to 985,211,some went to junior college, and some went to local universities that were just established that year. These students have just graduated from college, with different starting points and great differences.

However, after growing into a middle-aged person at the age of 40, I found that the difference in fate was not great, at least not as big as the difference in college entrance examination scores.

Just like raising a child, we can remember his height and weight accurately every month at the beginning, and we are fascinated by the children in the community. By the time the child is a teenager, you already feel that these are not important and don't care at all.

We lengthen the time axis, and these temporary achievements are not the basis for determining a person's final achievements.

Rule 2: What really wins a thousand miles is the ability not to pass some exams.

After Ke Jie gave up in front of Alpha Dog, everyone discussed what kind of ability education should cultivate to lead to the future as usual.

It can be concluded that any ability that can be replaced by machines or artificial intelligence is not worth taking time to cultivate; Any ability that cannot be transferred to other fields is not important.

Our education has spent a lot, even the greatest time and energy, to evaluate students' mastery of knowledge-rather than real ability improvement.

The United States has counted the annual salary of college graduates. The top 65,438+00 are universities of science and engineering, such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, California Institute of Technology and Georgia Institute of Technology. In addition to Stanford, which is strong in engineering, and the University of Pennsylvania, which is good in business. Ivy League schools such as Harvard, Yale and Princeton are not among them.

However, when comparing the salary situation after 15, those universities that are good at general education, such as Harvard and Princeton, have all squeezed into the forefront of 10, surpassing the universities that mainly focus on engineering and business. Although income is not the only criterion to measure the value of graduates and the quality of universities, it can at least illustrate the importance of general education.

Among the three "big vines" of Harvard, Yale and Princeton (the most famous ivy), Yale especially emphasizes the influence of liberal arts and art on students' lives. In Yale, undergraduates choose their major only after the third grade, and they can graduate without doing their graduation thesis as long as they choose 36 courses. Because the school doesn't want students to spend all their time preparing for the exam, it delays their all-round development.

In fact, Yale students spend half their time in extracurricular activities, because these seemingly unrelated activities cultivate students' excellent qualities, such as fighting spirit, team spirit, leadership, social skills, expression skills, global vision and social responsibility. If you don't learn these things when you go to Yale, you will lose the meaning of studying there.

Harvard emphasizes that its undergraduate education is a kind of "non-professional preparatory course", that is, an undergraduate can be interested in business and finance and take many courses in this field, but Harvard has not awarded TA an undergraduate degree in business or finance.

▲ The emblem of Harvard University-the Latin meaning of "truth"

Harvard, like Yale, does not emphasize test scores, but gives most students A. The school hopes to reveal a message to students that your studies are excellent enough and you should pay attention to things outside the course.

No matter which degree Princeton students finally get, they need to take enough courses in humanities and social sciences and basic science.

Even Stanford, which is rich in scientific and technological rookies, also carries out general education. Students must complete the required courses in nine fields: culture and thought, natural science, science and technology and practical science, literature and art, philosophy, social science and religious thought.

This is the purpose and benefit of general education-let students understand the world, have the ability to cope with complex life and the confidence to realize self-worth, which will bring lasting stamina to students' long-distance running in life.

Rule 3: Without absolute success, life achievement does not come from the survival of the fittest, and the sources of happiness are various.

Twenty years after graduation, you will feel more peaceful and quiet, because you find that the classmate who makes you jealous has not actually affected your life; In those days, learning hegemony and worship of gods, in later life, are almost the same as you and me, and not far away.

A kind of children, through various paths, live a happy life of their own-almost nothing to do with survival of the fittest and chicken blood competition.

You will find that no one's life is worthy of absolute envy, and no one's life can be absolutely despised. If you concentrate on your life, you can reach the peak of life richness.

Everyone, including your children, may live without a 100% frame of reference. In other words, everyone should have their own unique and happy life.

In a sense, life is a road that has never been taken, and it is a road of self-cultivation. How far you go is determined by your inner thoughts. Those who surpass others in life are not because they want to surpass you, but because they decide to go to the farthest place.

How bad would it be if she was with true love from the beginning and ran a career and family together for fifteen years? People often say that old houses are most afraid of catching fire, but it is the old houses that are most prone to catching fire and have the highest sinking cost, which is all the efforts before overthrowing.

Anyone who doesn't choose a job according to his true wishes will complain and be negative later; Anyone who doesn't walk into marriage according to his true wishes is mostly like a grave.

Sometimes our thoughts and efforts about efficiency and cost performance are basically not worth a "I do" flashing with yearning light.

We often ignore a very important thing, that is, the value of life lies in choice.

At different ages, people will have their own desire to choose different fields: from dressing and eating, to reading games, to making friends and socializing, and finally, of course, all their own choices in studying, working and choosing a spouse.

But many times, our right to choose has been kidnapped by parents, teachers, schools, units, leaders, public opinion and so on since childhood.

What is even more frightening is that many people have never had the consciousness of self-choice, and have since fallen into confusion and can no longer find themselves.

What is the most precious thing in life?

"With copper as a mirror, you can dress properly; Take people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses; Taking history as a mirror can be used for reference. " When you attend the middle school students' party, you are reading a recent history, which is the most vivid and instructive for you to design your children's future and today's plans.

Life is a marathon, and the road is very crowded at the start, but after running 1/4, the distance between runners has widened, and the little chance that runners seized at the start is gone.

Many parents in China are saying that they can't let their children lose at the starting line, so they will try their best to let their children grab seats at the starting line. But in fact, the road to success is not as crowded as expected, because in the long marathon of life, most people take the initiative to quit before running halfway. Later, the remaining few people were not too many competitors, but worried about how to find a partner to run with.

Therefore, education is a lifelong matter, and the person who laughs last is the one who receives education all his life.

Looking back, we found that there were many strong classmates in middle school and college, but not many people could persist in learning new things after graduation from doctoral programs.

"Some people who studied better than us in the past and grabbed a better position at the starting line have given up the marathon of life. We can run further just because we are still running, that's all. "
