Non-985 college students, where is the gap between you and others? (transfer)
Saw this passage on Quora:
"Scum school means scumbag teaching, scumbag teaching means scumbag education, and scumbag education means scumbag employment. Even if you pass the postgraduate entrance exam in the future, you may be rejected because your first degree did not pass."
Is that so?
Is the environment of the second university so bad?
In Jzc Alex's view, the most terrifying thing about a not-so-excellent university is to bring you a sense of comfort like a boiled frog in warm water.
In these kinds of schools, you can find smart students, you can find students who study hard, but it is very difficult to find people who are five times smarter than you but ten times harder than you.
Sooner or later, when you truly enter the society, you will find that those attractive jobs, those entrepreneurial opportunities that can attract venture capital, and those channels that are left to the next generation to allocate social wealth have been imprisoned by such people. firmly occupied.
Of course, you will gradually find that such people tend to have high emotional intelligence, good self-discipline, and family background.
Oh yes, it just so happens to be more handsome than you.
However , none of these people you have ever met in your university.
Only then will you realize that you have been tricked by the university.
But it's hard for you to make up for it. Even if you can regain the courage to go on the road, the road that can still be left for you is already very narrow and very narrow.
How terrified.
In Bo Xiaoyan's view : the most frightening part of a relatively low-level environment is not the lack of resources, but the limitation of people's horizons at the age when they should broaden their horizons the most, and the reduction of requirements at the stage when they should be most strict with themselves. standards, and these influences are subtle and ingrained, and ultimately "the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker".
In some two or three schools, those who are actually not outstanding in ability will be set as an example because of the generals in the dwarf.
At the same time, the school is keen to promote round after round of propaganda and myths to promote their own school performance, and the lower the level, the more exaggerated the school's actions, from hanging on the red list to holding a special report meeting.
As a result, when you first entered the university, you lacked the basic understanding and judgment ability of university life, and you would involuntarily think:
Wow, it's amazing to pass the sixth grade - so you didn't even pass the fourth grade in four years of college;
Wow, the course is so difficult that I will definitely fail - so you did fail for four years in college;
Wow, it's amazing to have an accounting career - so you didn't even get a job in four years of college;
Wow, it's amazing to be admitted to 211 graduate school - so...
But you don't know that in another university (perhaps next door to you), your peers (perhaps once your peers), in their lives:
In fact, the sixth level is difficult to say, most people's goal is 550 or even 600;
In fact, "I'm going to fail the course" is used from the black. Most of the people in the final exam are going to take the exam with a GPA of 4.0, and you all believed it;
In fact, "I didn't learn anything" was also used from the black, so it was used by many people as the main argument for the uselessness of famous universities;
In fact, some people can get full marks in all kinds of professional examinations, and everyone is concerned about the secretary examination, cpa, and cfa;
In fact, the goal of the graduate school is to be a famous overseas school, or it is also the resumption of diplomatic relations in northern Qing Dynasty, or it must be 985...
Maybe there is no essential difference in your level and ability before the college entrance examination. How much difference is there between ordinary 985 colleges and serious second instincts? There is no difference between a genius and an ordinary person at all. People who are admitted to 985 may not be able to pass the first line if they shake their hands twice in the college entrance examination.
But four years of immersion has made you add an insurmountable transparent ceiling to your life, and the gap is not the scores of the college entrance examination.
It's because you haven't learned anything in the past four years, but you have learned to look ahead and look ahead. Many things have already been predicted before you understand and try, because you are pulling the people around you, it seems that you are a great god when you do these things, and I am not a great god, So I can't do it. The surrounding environment limits your vision and lowers your standards.
So over time, your difference has become a qualitative difference.
211 Can college students "sit back and relax"?
Han Qiusheng is a student of 211 school. His major has only half the employment rate. What should he do in the future so that he can compete and adapt to this society?
There are students from Tsinghua University and Peking University, students from the Ivy League, and students from famous universities on all continents. I really can't count them. Their level of life, vision, strength, and experience are all far beyond his current level.
So he will feel a little arrogant. Sometimes I wonder, where is the way out in the future? The first month I came to school, I felt very fresh, but after the second month, it gradually turned into disappointment. Especially when he saw that his high school and junior high school classmates were posting about their university, there was a big gap in his heart.
But until one day.
"In the shabby first teaching, one winter night, I went to the student union for a regular meeting, and it was almost half past ten. When I passed the classroom of our class, I saw the deputy monitor of our class studying there. She is our professional grade. First."
That's it. Under the same conditions, when you're spending your time without holes, some people are struggling. When you are addicted to online games and socializing, some people are improving themselves.
You think you have "fallen" to a place where you "should fall", but some people are watching and grasping every minute and every second, and constantly improving.
Complain and pray for sympathy, make no sense. All you have to do is keep fighting. You've just come to a fork in the road. struggle, or give up. Only when you give up, it is a dead end. At that time, let's find a way.
Where is the way out for non-985 college students?
Just give two examples and you will understand.
Li Zhengxian, a Hangzhou Telecom engineer: more practice, more contacts
When I was a freshman, I signed up for the e-commerce competition with my friends. Of course, I didn't know anything except the C language at that time, so I spent half a semester looking for various materials on the Internet, and then watched the video, bit by bit Learned to use JAVA to write a website. In the end, we won the first prize in the e-commerce provincial competition.
Later, I participated in the National Service Outsourcing Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition. We spent a summer vacation studying JAVA WEB with great concentration. Finally got the second prize of the national competition.
We won the first prize in the e-commerce provincial competition, and the school website wrote: a historic record. We won the second prize in the Outsourcing National Competition, which is also a record. So, I don't think there is anything wrong with the three books now, because you can make your school better.
This time we competed with universities from Tsinghua University, Jiaotong University, and so on. Our creativity is no worse than theirs, and our code is not lost to them. In this competition, I learned that the so-called 985,211 , not so scary.
The picture shows staying up late to write code, because I found that writing code in the middle of the night is the most enjoyable.
After that, we started to take over some outsourced projects one after another, and then gradually got a little bit of money. It’s nothing. The hard-earned money can be spent with peace of mind. Outsourcing is tiring, but many are valuable lessons that cannot be learned in the classroom.
I think the more important thing in college is to practice more , don’t be afraid, there is nothing to lose anyway, rather than playing lol in the dormitory, it is better to look for work that can be done online. At the same time, I was doing other things to make money, like selling computers. I don't sell computers to make money, but to accumulate contacts.
In college, you must also remember to go out more, meet more people, and make friends. Believe me, when you graduate, your network is your sharpest weapon.
We went to the Alibaba Cloud Developer Conference and had the opportunity to communicate with Alibaba engineers. We even communicated with Wang Jianwang, the CTO of Alibaba. During the two days in Alibaba Cloud, I met a lot of super powerful people.
Our counselor asked me what I plan to do in the future. I said, I want to work in Alibaba. I have been there since I was a child. It used to be a dream. I can see our goal, try harder and harder, what if it succeeds?
Whether you study well or not is not the key. I think university is just a place. Some people play games every day in 985 and 211, and some people can still become very good people in schools that are close to it. come on!
Han Xuefeng from Wuchang University of Technology: 5 suggestions
In my freshman year, I joined the student union. During the summer vacation, I got my first practical opportunity to participate in the "Youth in Wo" trainee co-hosted by the Hubei Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Youth League and China Unicom. This training activity is the ground sales of Unicom products. In Wuhan in July, the sun was so poisonous that it could burn people. But under the sun in Wuhan, I walked around the streets, went to the community, and went to the construction site to sell Unicom's phone cards and broadband. In those days, I was chased by the foreman and scolded by the security guards, which made me desperate. At that time, I was paranoid that it would be very difficult for three students to find a good job.
As a sophomore, I was in charge of the new media promotion of the student union, and at the same time joined the Sina Weibo Hubei campus channel team, and I began to form my own campus team. The post bar "Mountain Rain Will Come and Wind Full House" founded by my friend and I has also become the most popular post bar among high school students in Hubei Province. At that time, I also joined a mobile Internet entrepreneurial team, and the products of that team allowed users to make their own APP "in a fool's way".
The world began to widen, and I once set my career plan to enter the Internet industry. But right away, I was slapped by reality as I just started to swell.
My sophomore year ends in just over a month, and I'm starting to plan for a summer internship. At that time, I thought that I should be qualified for an operational internship position in an Internet company, so I sent my resume to dozens of companies. After a long wait, all expectations came into the sea. Only one company responded to my email. In the email they first thanked me for my trust, and then politely wrote, " You are excellent in every way, but our internship positions give priority to students from 211 College. "
The summer vacation ended in the second year of my sophomore year. At that time, I had nothing to do. In addition, I also dreamed of being a reporter when I was a child, so I spent a lot of time as an intern at the Beijing News and Southern Weekend.
When I first arrived in Beijing, I knew almost no one, and I couldn't find any brothers and sisters. At the newspaper, other interns can easily find alumni. The number of their alumni can easily form several football teams - only in my in-depth reporting department, there are two graduates of Peking University.
I can only rely on myself.
When I first went, I didn't even know what "reporting a question" was, and the news was sluggish. Lying in a partition room that couldn't even fit a stool except for a small single bed at night, I began to think about countermeasures.
I used a stupid way, back and copy. I found a lot of news and in-depth reports, and studied them one by one. When I came across good news, I would memorize them. When I came across an excellent in-depth report, I would type word by word on the computer. After a week, I recited dozens of news articles and copied several in-depth manuscripts. Perhaps thanks to the accumulation brought by reading books and newspapers since childhood, I began to find feelings. The first time I saw the words "Han Xuefeng" printed on a newspaper, the excitement was indescribable.
A few months before graduation, I have received some job offers one after another, including TOP3 Internet companies, good entrepreneurial teams and excellent media. Some of the salaries offered are quite substantial.
As a three-book art student who used to have nothing, along the way, I also gained some fools.
First of all, we must be good at discovering and seizing opportunities.
When the 360 Free WiFi was just released, I found that it was tailor-made for campus users, because campus broadband mostly uses a dedicated client to log in, so students can't use wireless routers. After understanding this, I wrote a private letter to Zhou Hongyi, the chairman of 360 Company, explaining the idea, and applied to him in the name of the student union, hoping to get a batch of 360 free wifi to test at school.
Then Mr. Wang, who was in charge of the portable wifi project of 360 Company, contacted me. After we had a brief exchange, he sent me a batch of portable wifi. I took the test at school and my classmates responded very well. Then I fed back the test results to 360 Company. If I took advantage of the situation and proposed to do an internship at 360 Company, the problem should not be too big.
Second, pay attention to making contacts.
This friendship is not deliberately going to the camp, but mutual benefit. Since entering the news circle, I have provided my colleagues with the contact information of countless interviewees, and my colleagues have also provided me with countless resources. In June 2013, there were less than 10 reporters on my WeChat, and now I have more than 600 reporters on my WeChat. Except for the first media internship, my subsequent internships were all introduced by friends.
Then do what you love to the extreme.
One trick is fresh, eat all over the sky. My roommate Liu Xing, a boy who loves to draw, is a contract author of Yaoqi Comics. When I was in the dormitory, I always saw him drawing continuously on the computer. It seems that he has won a lot of awards. In the autumn of last year, he PKed hundreds of people and successfully joined a certain tier-one game company, earning an annual salary of 6 figures. Zhang Xiangnan, a senior in my senior year, studied human resources, but loves marketing very much. During college, he was insecure. After graduation, he successfully joined a leading social marketing company in the industry. He has been sent to another first-tier city to form a team in less than a year after graduation. They are also all three.
Also, have hard goods on hand.
My internship experience, and the hundreds of manuscripts I have participated in, can all endorse my job search. During my internship, I also summed up some experiences, such as "How to quickly find someone through an online interview", "How to infer Sister Furong's address in 10 minutes from a photo?", "Technical flaws in the report of 'prostitution in a university hotel'" ” and other articles, there are hundreds of thousands of reads. On the one hand, these articles can increase my confidence in applying for a job, and on the other hand, let more people know about me.
Finally try more.
Four years in college is enough time to discover what you want. And to jump out of school, the world outside school is infinitely vast.
I have said so many running accounts, just to tell you with a story of San Bunsheng, don't be afraid, be bold, take big strides forward, and in the end, you will always get what you want.
Feelings: This is sent to me by a friend of mine. I was skipping class to play games when I watched it, so I felt very uncomfortable. The later games were also not smooth. To be honest, I am not one who can completely calm down. those who study hard,
I can't resist temptation very well. I still remember that I was addicted to novels, so I indulged in reading it for a few days and nights, and then deleted it. In order to prevent myself from being addicted and degraded, the university moved the computer to the computer room, but it still can't change the nature of love to play. , I've fallen again recently. In fact, I indulged myself at the beginning of my junior year. In the final analysis, the difference between me and other good people is that I'm too good to me. I don't want to study late every day, so I make an excuse for myself to study at night. It is not good for the body. In order to not wake up during the day, I think that I will study better during the day if I sleep more. However, what do I do in my free time? I want to have fun, and I will study hard after playing it! ! ! Every time I just think about being nice to myself, I think carefully that I am too selfish. Every time my mother calls, I always think that I am studying hard. Every time my mother tells me not to study all the time, go out for a walk when you are tired. , I just wanted to slap myself twice. Every time my mother said that I would stick to it for two more years, I was really uncomfortable. I didn't work as hard as she thought. I really didn't work hard. I'm not inferior to anyone in terms of intelligence , but I am afraid that when I feel that I think I am too smart, I live a depraved and addicted life relying on my own self-belief, think about what I can do, what I know, and what is the gap between myself and others, Up to now, I haven’t passed the fourth grade, I fail every year, and I don’t have any prizes that I can get in the competition. I can’t get up in the morning, skip classes to surf the Internet, and can’t sit down. In order to give myself comfort, I used to make great decisions to take the postgraduate entrance examination. I don't dare to say it, it's time to reflect on it, will this useless me be worthy of the life I want! ! !
Feelings: After reading it, I do feel a little inferior and confused. I think about my school, my major, and how I will compete with others in the future. Said to be a graduate student who wants to take the Cs exam, but he has no plans at all, so he doesn't know what he is busy with every day? But I always feel like I don't have time. I participated in the Blue Bridge Cup a few days ago, but I didn't even get a third prize... This time, the fourth-level exam is coming soon, but I have nothing to prepare for. I want to win an award in ACM, but I am too lazy to write questions every day. Sometimes self-control is very poor, and I always do things that I regret. When I have time, I also use my phone to look at my phone, but I don't want to exercise. What can you do in the future? Wanting to skip classes to study by yourself but worrying about being named by the teacher (I have been named once, and it is said that I have been named three times and immediately failed), what a hard college life! It's time to work hard, but I don't know where to start.
