Chapter 282 (1/2)
Wang Tianming turned to Tianxing and said, ”before that, I really didn't expect anyone to live like this. In the past, I contacted people from the middle and upper classes of the society. They had received good education and had a lot of social resources to achieve what they wanted to do.
For example, my cousin, an undergraduate from Peking University, went to one of the best universities in the world to study in the UK this year. In my opinion, it should be a great honor to graduate from Peking University, and it is worth mentioning. However, unless she is asked, she usually doesn't mention where she graduated, and sometimes she doesn't even know how to say it.
Many people are curious and ask her why she doesn't say it. It's a sign of you. It's also an endorsement.
But she said, I'm more willing to let others take off the signboard to get to know me, focusing on what I'm doing rather than where I come from. So are my other classmates from Peking University.
What did she do to break away from Peking University? During my study, I applied for exchange opportunities at Harvard and Cambridge, went to Canada for summer programs, went to Taiwan for exchange, graduated and went to Hebei to teach for half a year, got an Australian visa and went to Australia to circle the island for two months, until last month I completed the circle and went to Britain.
Everyone said you are great. She said that the people around her are better. They have more experience than me. I have to work harder.
My cousin graduated from Peking University with a master's degree. He is open-minded and intelligent. He learns everything very quickly. After work, he studies programming and cars. He never thinks that graduation from Peking University should be like this. As long as he likes, he tries his best to try and study. He doesn't feel that the strange eyes of people around him have any influence on him.
He's 367 years old, driving a Chery car, and doesn't wear a famous brand. But do you think he's anxious, too? But what worries him is not the house and car that ordinary people worry about, but how to realize more self in their limited life.
Therefore, the people who put this hat on them are all people outside Peking University. For themselves, famous schools are only achievements they have made at a certain point in their life, and should not be regarded as a restriction to guide their future life.
For them, famous schools give them more opportunities to contact the wider world and the courage to say no to many things. They have the right to choose any kind of life. You may not understand it, but they don't need your understanding.
Because you may not understand it at all. This choice, for others, may put down what they had before and experience a different life. Most of us, however, haven't even ”picked up” yet.
A group of people who have not yet ”picked up” look at people who choose to ”put down”. It's natural that they can't understand. Just as you say that apples are so delicious, why don't you eat them? He said I don't want to eat, I eat a lot, I want to eat oranges.
This feeling, you may one day eat apple to eat vomit to experience, before that, you will still feel Apple delicious.
The same is delivery, people in famous schools will have so much experience, those more profound feelings, the observation of details, the understanding of the industry, the perception of life. So even if we are delivering takeout like everyone else, some people are just delivering takeout, but some people may get new inspiration in life. This is the difference between people.
Wang Tianming also asked his cousin what he thought of it? My cousin's answer is that you can't understand before you reach that level.
When you get to that level, you will naturally understand that different people have the right to choose, just limited choices, and they just create opportunities for themselves to choose up, down, left and right.
