The society is quietly reward those who willing to learn, and are punishing those who are not willing to learn

For the most part, learning is the way to change our destiny and class. The society is always welcome those who willing to learn.

Around me, some people able to find a secure job after graduating. In their eyes, study and take notes seem to be the habit of the student era. To the society, it is more and more distant from these things.

We can’t differentiate people who study and people who don’t study in few days, but the gap between them will be obvious after a few years.

I have a friend, although he did not go to college, he still did not stop learning. Accompanied by continuous efforts, now he opened a factory, quite a successful person he became.

A lot of people after graduated, found a job that does not correspond to the thing they learned, but some people can mix well because they know how to learn, so they have not been eliminated by society.

I want you to study hard not because to compare achievement with others, but hope that you will have the right to choose, understand the meaning of choice and have the time to work instead of being forced to make a living.

Study and learn some skills does not necessarily make you a millionaire, but at least it will allow you to choose a job you like, and you will be able to see the road ahead more clearly than you are forced to choose your job.

There are cognitive misunderstandings in our minds.

Have you ever felt underappreciated or bad luck? In short, is there any external obstacles that make you not satisfy with your life?

So what do you think is the biggest obstacle to your own development? Is it IQ? Luck? Family? Or college?

This question, everyone has their own answer, but my opinion may not be the same as most people.

I think our own thought is the biggest obstacle to development, compared with the factors of ability, luck, and IQ.

Our past has shaped our present self, and we have made any judgments mostly based on previous experience. But there is also a blind spot in our thought.

When we in school, teachers and elders have been teaching us that we should study hard and find a good job with high income and stability in the future. Everyone is encouraged to go through the routine, without risk, and without imagination. After a long time, we got brainwashed. When you feel like you should live like this, then your brain will naturally be imprisoned by this thought, and you may lose the possibility of change.

I am not opposed to such a life. I want to show that everyone lives under stress, anxiety and frustration. We follow rules that no one knows who made them, day after day live carefully like a line has been drawn up on the train station.

Learning can correct the inherent error perception.

The world is complex and changeable. Human cognition is always limited, everyone has a blind spot.

When having reunion with my friends, we talked about what type of attitude to face work. My friend said that his company has a colleague who is not interested in his work, he faces his work like "Work a day, live a day." The manager is also dissatisfied with that employee.

In fact, the manager is dissatisfied because the manager and the employee have completely different way of thinking. The manager has an "entrepreneurial mindset," while this employee has a "worker mindset." The difference between the two is: the entrepreneurial mindset look at the overall situation, focus on company benefits, while the worker mindset, value more to personal direct income, compared with the company's breakthrough and development, daily tea time or monthly bonus incentive make him happier.

In fact, there are a lot of people have this worker mindset, work is just a daily routine that doesn’t need to use the brain. Of course, I'm not advocating anything. You have to go to work with all your life, but you must work hard. It's not bad to be work comfortably, able to feed your family.

But if you are dissatisfied with your situation and seeking changes, work or life, then it is quite frightening to follow this "Work a day, life a day" mentality because the effort in the comfort zone will not make much difference to life.

Why would you say that? Frankly speaking, we are essentially selling our time in exchange for the money of our employers to maintain our lives.

But in reality, everyone salary is not the same, some people get forty thousand or fifty thousand, some people get few thousands. Why the salary so different is because of the essence of each person's ability is different, creative value is not the same, so you can create the value of the decision too can take the salary you deserved.

In fact, there are three ways to improve our time value: 1. Increase the unit price of time. 2. Repeat selling your own time. 3. Buy other people's time.

Once we learn how to improve the foundation of our value, we may be able to follow this line and change it.

If you want something, the best way is to make yourself worth it.

This sentence is only a few words, but it contains profound truth.

Whether in work or in life, if you want something, high salary, higher position, good life, or even better relationship, tell yourself to find ways to make yourself worthy of it. I believe that when you reach that level, what you want will come naturally. It's a rule that won’t change.

This is the reason why we should keep on learning.

Put what you have learnt to good use

Learning is one of the most important things, but it not necessarily refers to reading.

We are often fall into a blind state in the process of learning. Blindly study, buy a variety of books, a variety of courses, fill our time with blindly study, and sometimes when we are not studying, it will be difficult, like something is missing. But those blindly study does not goes into the brain, just immerse in learning atmosphere, and also forget that the origin of learning is to learn to use the knowledge in better use.

We need to be a truly independent thinker

A person with a lot of knowledge, but not absorb the knowledge through their own thought, then these are far less valuable than those who do not know much but think have their own thought. Because when you can combines all aspects of knowledge from each other to examine each other's perceptions, then you can truly understand and make it work for you. One can think carefully about what he knows, so he must learn new things, but only those things that have been deeply thought of can become his knowledge.


In life, we will also see that many of the higher class people today, perhaps the rich generation have not much culture, can be easily attached to continuous learning, or that the cause is in the most culture of the generation to flourish. On the contrary, even if a certain achievement is achieved, if the next generation of education does not work, it will soon lose its wealth.

A person who still craves knowledge, will definitely going uphill because there are higher peaks and better landscapes ahead.

This is a very good read. You are absolutely correct in what you say.

Having a "worker mindset" is the easiest way to build a gilded cage around one's life. Where he/she will never travel beyond the comfort zone and meet the possibilities and potential he/she may have in him/herself.

Having the ability to adapt and the willingness to learn is probably more valuable than any degree or master or PhD. Seeing as how the fast-pacing world we are keeps innovating, the papers probably become obsolete the moment it was issued.

I'd rather keep being aware that i am not the smartest in the room and fix that rather than not knowing im an idiot and hurt myself in my ignorance.

Thanks for the write-up! it was very good!

For me, those degree or master is useless once you entered the society. The skills we have and the willingness to learn new things, that will help us to survive in this world.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it :)
Your comments motivate me to continue writing!

Again, if it helps. Your writing is great! hahaha

Though i have not been to uni myself. most of my degree-holder peers will agree with you. The willingness to learn and adapt trumps the academic knowledge that gets more obsolete with each passing day.
