"Catch shrimp like Forrest Gump, not whale fish."

All roads lead to Rome.
But some people were born in Rome.
10 years ago, Hong Huang wrote in "Americans VS China": In the past, China people wanted to be good and Americans wanted to have fun, but now the difference is getting smaller and smaller. Our children are getting louder and louder, and we are starting to have them? Fun, we began to chase our dreams and run around the world.
Looking at the champion of the recent college entrance examination, Master Huo really feels that times have changed and the world is flat. Now, these China children who get high marks listen to TFboys, have a perm, brush raw meat from American dramas, play cross-dressing bazaars and go abroad to attend a summer camp from time to time. Guan Xiaotong and Guo Xiaoting, these beautiful girls, even continue to talk and take photos. When did the college entrance examination change from a bloody battle of corpses to a cool child? Fun's monster training
Xiong Xuanang, the champion of Beijing college entrance examination, clearly pointed out in an interview that the college entrance examination is a graded examination. The educational resources of big cities and upper-middle class families determine that children here have many shortcuts in learning. Even the effort itself depends largely on the platform. Jin Keyu, a Harvard graduate, is a tenured professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science. She speaks four foreign languages and is good at piano and clarinet. Her father is Jin Liqun, chairman of AIIB.
Guo Wenjing, a girl admitted to Harvard, found that both her parents graduated from MIT and her family owned a listed company. People can't help feeling: "All roads lead to Rome, but some people were born in Rome." This is the recessive inheritance of capital and the reproduction of class. Those peers who are richer, more beautiful and better than you inadvertently flattened our efforts and stepped into the soil with dreams and distance.
Instead of lamenting the difference in educational resources, Mr. Huo is more interested in the second half of Xiong Zhuangyuan's sentence. He said: "knowledge may not change fate, but without knowledge, it must not change fate." ? Xiong Xuanang did not explain what the knowledge here specifically refers to. Maybe he just vaguely realized that this is no longer the lean era in troubled times. Without knowledge, he can't even get out of the novice village. However, the bear champion 18 years old is still unknown at the moment. For most people who don't have shortcuts, what knowledge is needed, how to get it, and whether there is a chance to counterattack.

See your own ascending channel clearly.
A while ago, a post on Zhihu was very popular. In the theme of "Talking about the phenomenon of class solidification in China with stories around him", a librarian of the National Museum wrote down his own observations.
Different from other cursory visits, Shi Jia Primary School organizes a lecture on Expo every week, and the students are very active and interactive. They would rather not eat than insist on attending classes. The administrator asked a leading question during the lecture: "Which dynasty was after the Northern Song Dynasty?" According to the routine, children should answer "Southern Song Dynasty". Surprisingly, a child gave the answer of "false Chu".
What is hypocrisy? This is a pseudo-government fostered by the Han people after the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. Former Prime Minister Zhang Bangchang was forced to inherit the throne for 32 days. A fifth-grade pupil not only knew about the puppet regime, but also pointed out in detail that Zhang Bangchang ascended the throne in March and Zhao Gou ascended the throne in May.
This article triggered an avalanche of anxious messages, and readers lamented: I have only been to Guo Bo in my twenties, and class solidification was achieved through educational monopoly.
In an old article, Mr. Huo wrote: You don't understand your upward path, not the class solidification: the students in primary schools come from social elites, scholars and celebrities, senior government officials, diplomatic envoys abroad ... all of them are poetry and calligraphy etiquette, and they are family friends. Pupils going to Guo Bo every week is a non-utilitarian aristocratic education. People in Beijing No.11 School also offer equestrian, fencing and car design for a simple reason: their students don't have to waste time and energy for the college entrance examination. If you don't worry because your child can't play polo, then you don't have to worry about hypocrisy. Don't expect to make efforts to fill the accumulation of generations. Going to Hengshui and Mao Tan factories for three years is serious. Compared with the puppet Chu's cold knowledge, you should know where the really effective ascending channel is.
In addition, Wei Xiang, a boy from Gansu, is a severely disabled person with a poor family. He was admitted to Tsinghua this year. No matter how sensational the media reports are, this is an extremely unlikely event. For more Tian Shelang, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get to the palace of the emperor. Let's do something else. In modern society, there are two kinds of people who can live a good life, creative and diligent.
The victims of the fire in Hangzhou were also from agriculture and had a high school education. When they first left society, they didn't even have decent shoes and clothes. With hard work and alertness, I have accumulated a lot of wealth in just ten years, spanning at least two classes. For such doers, there is probably no time and mood to complain about "class solidification".

Learn to educate yourself.
Build a platform for yourself
There is a widely forwarded article on Douban, "To tell the truth, I envy those hardworking rich second generation". The author's cousin comes from a wealthy family, and she can expand her hobbies infinitely in education. Her piano teacher is the head of the Conservatory of Music, the art teacher is a national second-class painter, the swimming coach is a provincial team, and golf and her father use private tutors. She has had her own English teacher since the first grade, and has been to Europe, North America and Australia before graduating from primary school. Most of us don't have such a platform, just like our jealous cousin who loves vomiting blood. But in the article, the author also mentioned another educational focus: reading.
At my uncle's request, my cousin bought many books for my sister. This girl has already had an unimaginable amount of reading in primary school. In the first year, I studied Plato, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, fifteen years of Wanli, and native China. In addition, under the guidance of her parents, she also read Drucker's Management and the Logic of Finance. When she was twelve or thirteen, she knew about VC (Venture Capital).
If you don't have the family background and money to support this elite education, you can at least do one thing-there is no threshold for reading.
What is the meaning of reading?
For Fan's mother and daughter who didn't go to primary school for two years, reading changed their genes. Before Fan became popular because of an autobiography, she had left her stupid ex-husband and decadent hometown, and instinctively rushed to Beijing with her curiosity and courage to study. Books bring Fan not only the carving of words, but also a vast world. After Fan's eldest daughter dropped out of school, she taught herself at home by reading old books bought from waste collection stations. This little girl with little formal education is now working as a typewriter and shorthand in a listed company with an annual salary of 90 thousand.
In my opinion, Fan's mother and daughter's reading is rough and one-sided, lacking guidance and full of mud and sand. Even so, reading shows its incredible power, changing the fate of two women at the bottom, blocking the unfortunate cycle, or at least achieving a counterattack compared with themselves.
For Hao, the author of Clouds in Beijing and Dr. Tsinghua University, reading can stimulate spirituality and tension. The expansion of vision and the improvement of vision make people feel beyond the limitations of cognition. In her words:
It is like a beam of light that coordinates everything, illuminating the abstract and boring topics in front of us and giving them color. If you know why you study, you can connect all the subjects in an orderly mode. This process is not painful and boring at all, but full of the stimulation of picking.
Hao's interest in ancient Greek natural philosophy illuminated all the subjects he studied. Physics, biology, society, fine arts, history, economy and writing are all integrated under the same light beam. Since then, there are no messy pieces of knowledge, and you can learn easily and firmly without brushing the questions. This interest stems from "100,000 Why" she read in primary school.
In the Internet age, reading is at your fingertips, and you don't need capital at all, or even anyone's guidance. Douban, Amazon, has a lot of recommendations and book reviews; Wikipedia lists various bibliographies; WeChat official account continues to push excellent reading materials; The app for learning English costs only tens of dollars for half a year, and memorizing 100 new concepts will naturally pave the way for fluent sentences. As long as you want, there will always be inexhaustible learning materials.
Throughout the ages, human beings can never smooth out class differences. But in modern society, at least the Internet has brought equal information channels to everyone. No matter whether you have the talent to build with a lot of money or not, you should cherish and make good use of this tool and break the shackles of school education so as not to become a frog in the well.

Choose between shrimp and fish, not whaling.
Ma Yun mentioned many times in his speech in Detroit that 1995, when he first went to the United States, he watched Forrest Gump at a friend's house. He was deeply impressed by two things in this film:
First: accept what God has given you and do your best.
The so-called balance in life is nothing more than trade-offs. We are always faced with temptation and greed, and deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do. When Ma Yun started his business in translation agency for the first time, he was unable to make ends meet, so he had to subsidize the sale of some small commodities. I didn't expect to make money in the long run. So the staff suggested selling souvenirs to foreign tourists. But Ma Yun insists that selling goods is just an emergency, and translation is the right way. Now Haibo Translation Agency has become the largest translation company in Hangzhou, and Ma Yun specially wrote a banner: Never give up.
Li Ka-shing said in his speech at Shantou University that wisdom and moderation made him. Lei Jun, Ma Yun, Ma Hua Teng and Li Yanhong (that doesn't mean I like him), they have been in the same industry for many years, whether it is platform, hardware or search engine, they always revolve around a field. Laoganma has been making a bottle of Chili sauce for 30 years, focusing on what she is good at and never destroying the brand. 20-year-old yearning, 40-year-old still insisting, 60-year-old still innovating. I may have different identities and roles at each stage of development, but I will never forget my initial heart.
The disproof of these people is Luo Yonghao (if one day the hammer mobile phone succeeds, I will delete the post again). He has been engaged in English education and started a blog. Com, engaged in writing, invested in the recording industry, and is now making mobile phones. You can call him quick-witted, but I think he is speculating. Because, he didn't do anything successful and lasting.
Whether it is an enterprise or an individual, only by daring to refuse can we concentrate. Someone once knelt down and asked Wang Shi to do a project. He would rather tear his face than pick it up. Some officials suggested that Tao Huabi should invest in real estate, and she said that it would be enough to make Chili peppers in this life.
Self-discipline is an important quality. Many people fail because they indulge their desires.
Second: Forrest Gump's first bucket of gold depends on shrimp catching, not whaling.
"If their goal is whales, they will probably get nothing." Ma Yun said. Later, the concept of shrimp catching was deeply rooted in his mind, which can be seen from the product names of Ant Financial Service and Sesame Credit.
As Ma Yun said: In the next 10 and 15 years, there will be about 500 million to 600 million middle classes in China, and the demand for high-quality products and services is increasing. Service industry must develop faster than industry. Express delivery, * * bicycle enjoyment, Didi, WeChat, which have developed rapidly in recent years, are all rolling in in the way of bonus hunter.
1989, when Tao Huabi, who could only write her own name, sold cold rice noodles on the street in Guiyang, she did not change the world and became a unicorn. Now, a bottle of Laoganma Chili sauce in 8 yuan brings in more than 4.5 billion yuan a year.
Don't think about playing e-sports and live broadcast platforms like President Wang, and challenge Amazon as soon as you come up. Without 500 million employees, it is more feasible for us to think about how to serve the growing middle class and save them time.
Finally, the trend of the times has already changed direction, and there will be more and more young people with good families like Jin Diaoyu, Guo Wenjing and Xiong Xuanang. At the same time, they are producing their own kind. In this way, class solidification is just around the corner. However, this does not mean that we can waste time. Counterattack is compared with yourself. We must admit that it is possible that the end of your life is just the beginning of another person.
Life is like a box of chocolates, no matter what you taste, you have to eat it.
Tai Ji Chuan not only inherited the traditional way of keeping in good health in ancient China, but also developed it on t
