Knowledge and life: Wang Defeng's thoughts after reading.
The problem, we all cherish this time, but today, it has become a problem. Because today, people seem to regard four years of college life as a way and means to seek a good job, and college has become a kind of vocational training.
Institute. Such a utilitarian tendency of university teaching spread everywhere, so that the original intention of university education was lost.
If we come to university for higher education, what is higher education? such as
If higher education only provides skills training for future jobs, and it is only a rehearsal and training before people become professionals, then there is no need for universities, and all we need is vocational training institutions. In my opinion.
Come on, "the universe.
Ty (University) is the scientific community of the country and the spiritual center of the country. There are a group of people here, guarding the spiritual home of the nation and undertaking the mission of promoting scientific progress. In short, this is the pursuit of truth.
Location. From this perspective, our youth should be very lucky to have four years to pursue the truth in such a place. In four years of college life, we can have a temporary period.
Quiet times are divorced from the interest system of the real society. This is especially valuable in today's era. What should we do with this quiet time that is "out of touch" with the real society? To learn, to ask questions, to seek truth, to
Pursuing the truth. If all human activities in the field of knowledge are only for the pursuit of practical interests, then there will be no learning and truth in the world. Truth has nothing to do with justice, and truth has never been a means or a work to realize interests.
Therefore, truth is the essential need of human mind.
Life ideal and career ideal
"After graduating from college, we often have to temporarily obey a certain profession; Obey this profession, right?
Wrong, because this is the need to make a living, and making a living is always the first. Mr. Lu Xun has a good saying: although freedom can't be bought with money, it is often betrayed because of money. The problem is, when we can finally
When you don't need to sell your freedom for a living, can you still have an ideal? Can you redeem your freedom because of that ideal? "
Let's look at today's China society. Young people will see many successful people, and they may leave their names on the rich list. In my opinion, according to the success standard of today's society, many successful people do not necessarily have the happiness of life. Therefore, our discussion about knowledge and life is actually related to the life ideal of every young person.
I really want to know what young people think of their life ideals now. Everyone may make a mistake and unconsciously confuse two concepts: one is career ideal and the other is life ideal, mistaking career ideal for adult.
Physiological thinking. In classical times, these two concepts can often overlap: a person realizes his career ideal and his life ideal at the same time. For example, a doctor, being a doctor all his life is his profession, and in this
In his career, he also realized his personal value and the meaning of life. It is luck that a person's career ideal can coincide with his life ideal, and he will become professional in the future. But today, this coincidence appeared.
The probability is very small. The reason why we can't establish professionalism is because the occupation we are engaged in has nothing to do with the ideal of life. When we compare our present job with a better job in the future, what is the standard of "better"?
Is it external success, social status improvement or salary increase? Some people keep changing jobs or being "fired" endlessly. Every step he took, he thought he was moving forward, so he spent his life. I have nothing.
France imagines how brilliant the meaning of life will be in such a life course. I once met a recent graduate of a key high school in Shanghai. When I asked him what he expected for the future, his answer was to become.
Successful entrepreneurs. When I asked him if this was his ideal in life, he replied yes. I am silent.
Einstein's wisdom made him understand a truth at an early age: come on.
Going to the world is not what you hope to get, but what you hope to achieve. When I was a teenager, I heard Einstein's words and always used them to encourage myself. From what I wish I could do
Hair, it is possible to establish the ideal of life, the ideal of life has nothing to do with what we can get, but what we can do. Take Einstein himself as an example, a character like him is ok.
Energy is not a hero or a model of success. He is not the richest man in the world, nor is the amount of capital he has given him a heroic position. After graduating from college, Einstein went to the patent office and became an ordinary worker.
Member, this is his profession. Of course, this career is not his ideal in life. It is his ideal in life to continue thinking about the crisis facing physics and realize a revolution in physics to overcome the crisis. He insisted.
This ideal, so he can continue his scientific exploration during his work in the patent office. I believe that no matter how different today's era is from the previous era, the basic truth of life is eternal. Because everyone
When I came to the university, I got the opportunity to pursue the truth and promote my study and progress, so I should at least pursue my life ideal in the sense I just mentioned during my four-year college career, that is, really find out that I can do it.
For what? After graduating from college, we often have to temporarily obey a certain profession; It is right to obey this profession, because it is the need to make a living, and making a living is always the first. Lu Xun has a good saying: Since
Although money can't be bought, it is often sold because of money. The question is, when we can finally sell our freedom to make a living, can we still have an ideal and redeem our freedom because of that ideal?
Let's go If there is no ideal in life, it will never be possible to redeem the freedom that has been betrayed.
Academic spirit is the soul of higher education.
Everyone must know celebrities.
"Qian Xuesen's Question"-Why has China failed to cultivate outstanding talents for so many years? What Qian Lao asked was not why China could not cultivate heroes on the stage of market economy. What is lacking in today's higher education?
What? I think it's lack of soul. What is the soul of higher education? I think it is academic spirit. If academics can't keep enough distance from society, they will become players of some social interest classes and interest systems.
With it, it is impossible for academics to develop or even deteriorate. When Mr Cai Yuanpei was the president of Peking University, he put forward the concept of "learning for learning's sake". Many people don't understand, thinking that it is only in the ivory tower. that
This sentence is absolutely correct. Academics don't have to fight for human progress, but they can contribute to human progress or the Chinese nation, provided that they keep a sufficient distance from the social interest system. study
The independence of art means "learning for the sake of learning" as Mr. Cai Yuanpei said.
We should cultivate this academic spirit in the four years of college. No matter what major you study, what is your future career.
It doesn't matter whether it's tight or not. Studying in the university is not only to exercise the ability to find a job, but also to explore. Even if you are disgusted with your major, you never expect to like it or even dislike it.
The method has been transferred to this major, and it will take four years to study. Because learning this science and discussing the most basic and difficult problems in this field with teachers and classmates can get this life.
Academic experience that may not be available in the future-taking academic risks and solving problems that everyone has not solved, may eventually fail, but we can get much more from it than the results themselves.
I have always stressed that college life is rich and colorful, with campus culture and community activities. You can fall in love, your bike can be stolen, you can complain about the poor food in the canteen, and you can gradually feel hard up and can't afford the high-end Huaihai Road.
Are there any luxury goods in the store ... these are all fine, the key is what is the theme of these four years? I remember the speech made by the former president of Xie Xide at the opening ceremony when I was admitted to Fudan University for a master's degree.
She said three sentences altogether. The first sentence is to welcome graduate students from all over the country and congratulate you on being admitted to Fudan University. The second sentence is that from now on, every science student should take the laboratory as his home, and every liberal arts student should study.
Students should take the library as their home and cherish this rare three-year time; The third sentence is thank you. I have remembered such a short passage at the opening ceremony for a lifetime. Fudan's tradition, Fudan's spirit, comes from more than one hundred years.
History, and the accumulation of so many teachers who have devoted their lives to Fudan academic research, have all gathered together. In Hegel's words, this is "the refuge of intellectuals". Everyone comes here,
Not just to get a diploma with a halo. If we can look at the problem in this way, we should take a boycott and rejection attitude towards all kinds of utilitarianism in the present era. We should be glad that we finally have a machine.
Yes, as Mr. Feng Youlan said: If you look at the universe and the truth with your heart, you can have a rational and sympathetic understanding of the truth. Truth is the realm of truth, which can be used as the gateway to the realm of sages, and you can observe it with your heart.
The Relationship between Academic Spirit and Life
Learning is not only the growth of intelligence and the improvement of ability, but also the foundation of life realm and life belief. In my opinion, the relationship between study and life is divided into seven different aspects.
First, the academic spirit makes us truly form an open-minded attitude. As long as you invest a period of time to explore the truth of life and learn to ask the truth, you will know how ignorant you are. The more knowledge, the more.
You will realize that you don't know more. Therefore, the academic spirit formed from academic experience enables us to maintain an open-minded and humble attitude all our lives. Not polite, not polite, but true. I will never.
Will be self-righteous, as if the truth is in hand; I may have learned a lot and made some contributions to an academic field, but I know I don't know much. This will affect all aspects of life, even if it is not done.
You can also think like this when you study. This is an important aspect of scholar temperament, which needs to be cultivated in four years in university.
Second, the academic spirit gives us an open mind and a good tendency.
The habit of listening to different opinions. When you come to the university and study important issues in this field with teachers and classmates, there will be a lot of discussion. In this discussion, we should not only express our opinions, but also listen.
Listen to other people's opinions, especially when your own opinions are opposed, can you continue to listen attentively? Can you open your heart to different opinions? Don't think that what you get is the only right, and many times it may only be.
Because we don't think from another angle. Therefore, after four years of academic exploration and experience, we should form an open mind that is good at listening to different opinions.
Third, study.
The spirit of art gives us the courage to criticize ourselves. It is difficult for a person to self-criticize, especially when he is mature and has experienced many people and things, he will gradually lose his ability to self-criticize. From this point of view, I am very
I admire Mr. Liang Qichao very much. He always "takes me today instead of yesterday" and always advances in self-criticism. He advocated constitutional monarchy when he followed Mr. Kang Youwei, but later accepted the concept of "republic".
It takes courage to "use today's me to criticize yesterday's me", which is the courage of self-criticism. This spirit of self-criticism will benefit us in academic research. Even if I don't engage in academic research in the future, I will go.
When you have made some achievements in social practice, don't forget to keep the courage of self-criticism. This is an important harvest brought by four years of college life.
Fourth, academic exploration.
Experience makes us always put a specific problem to be dealt with into the meaning system of learning to re-recognize and evaluate it. Sometimes ordinary people will encounter the problems we study, but they will not think academically.
Examination is often just a question from the perspective of instrumental rationality: what method should be used to get rid of the predicament? Of course, everyone has this goal, but to understand the essence and context of the problem, we need to put it into the meaning system of learning.
Think about it. Therefore, it is very meaningful to finish a dissertation before graduating from college, because it requires us to rethink academic issues in a meaningful background. Have a knowledge system as the foundation, put
It is a good habit to think in a larger dimension.
Fifth, we will never discuss a problem on the basis of facts. This is the academic experience and spirit of our future people.
A great significance of life: it should be our habit to talk about one thing systematically and think about it rigorously in a sense. The same is true at work, even what you do in the future and what you learned in college.
Profession has nothing to do with this. We still keep this habit of thinking when dealing with practical things, which is an important reason why we may become leaders in any field in the future. In my opinion,
There is no essential difference between businessmen and intellectuals. Li Mengyang in the Ming Dynasty put it well, "Poets and merchants are different and United", which means doing different things-"different skills" but "United"; Entrepreneur also
I regard doing business as finishing a big paper and refining and upgrading with knowledge.
Sixth, four years of college life let us
