I always thought I was very suitable for scientific research, because I could sit still and was willing to calm down and study.
Later, observing the gods of our group, we found that the gap between us was not ability or IQ. Instead, I use scientific research as a tool, thinking that finding a job after graduation will allow me to live a stable life. And they really love it, and doing scientific research is the ultimate goal.
Around me, there are almost no Chinese students who choose to continue their studies because of their love.
This is also the difference between Chinese and Western educational concepts.
Our basic education is quite powerful, the advantage is that whether you want to learn or not, first use crazy indoctrination and brushing to lay your foundation. The disadvantage is that even if you go to graduate school, you may not be able to say what you like and what you are good at. Lack of deep understanding and interest in the profession.
Western teaching emphasizes the cultivation of thinking, so there are few traps in the examination questions, and there are also a considerable proportion of analysis and essay questions in science and engineering. Their philosophy is to screen out the people they really love and let them do what they love and are good at. Therefore, this kind of person has more stamina. The disadvantage is that because of not forcing, the potential of many children may not be explored, all depending on whether parents have the intention to cultivate.
