The college entrance examination is a lingering nightmare for many students, but it is also a bridge to help thousands of poor children get out of the current situation. Can an exam, a few papers, decide a person's life? Definitely not. But why do all parents attach so much importance to the college entrance examination? On the title page of Lu Yao's novel "Life", there is a sentence: "Although the road of life is long, there are often only a few steps at the critical point."
The college entrance examination is a rare and critical point, so many people do not hesitate to spend ten years to do a good job in this turn.
However, it is precisely because most people care too much about this exam that some children will have a rebellious mentality. They want to tell those adults who regard the college entrance examination as more important than everything else through other ways: even if they don't take the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination, they can still break through their own Yangguan Road.
Hand in the blank and let go of the rhetoric
There was once such a high school student who handed in a blank paper in the college entrance examination. The student's name is Zhang Jiao, and he is a child from a key high school in Shaanxi. Zhang Jiao was born in poverty, and his parents worked hard for him to study, hoping that he could get ahead one day. He was very smart, but after being admitted to high school, his grades slowly declined, and finally he became bored with school. At the instigation of a former student, Zhang Jiao hated the college entrance examination more and more. He wants to prove to everyone that their so-called "knowledge changes fate" is just a nonsense.
So in the examination room, Zhang Jiao wrote on each paper "Break the cauldron and sink the boat, stand without breaking, stand after breaking, and die if you don't live", the consequence of this is that his college entrance examination score is zero. Of course, the reason why he is so popular is not only that he handed in a blank paper, but also that he made a bold statement, claiming to be China's Bill Gates, and set a goal for himself to earn 10 million in ten years.
People call Zhang Jiao the "White Roll Hero", and this nickname includes the admiration of children like him who don't want to learn, and the disdain of enlightened people for his childish practices, but the people who shout this title are more melon-eating people who don't think it's a big deal to see jokes. Zhang Jiao usually likes to post some poisonous chicken soup on the Internet, and many people choose to support him. In fact, those people just want to try to imagine their own life by watching other people's lives. Maybe they didn't want to take the college entrance examination back then, but they were under pressure and could only take it. They thought about giving up, but because they were afraid that there would be no source for the other way, they dared to continue walking on the same path.
The bystanders are waiting for Zhang Jiao's ending, whether Zhang Jiao can gain a foothold in society without education and background, they don't care, they are just curious about a result, no matter what that result is, it has nothing to do with them. For those who support Zhang Jiao, they don't really support him, they are still spectators.
Outsmart oneself
Zhang Jiao's ability to be admitted to a key high school is enough to show that he is a smart child. In fact, if he can study hard in high school, he will definitely be able to be admitted to a good university. After graduating from university, with a diploma, even if you can't buy a car and a house right away, you can still maintain a basic life. Unfortunately, he didn't go to college.
Only after Zhang Jiao, who had a high school education, entered the society and began to start his own business, he discovered the importance of academic qualifications at that time. Not only does he have no academic qualifications, he has no knowledge reserves, coupled with no background and connections, it is impossible to succeed if he wants to start a business. After being pressed to the ground by reality and rubbed hard, Zhang Jiao did not wake up in time and quickly learned a skill, but embarked on an illegal road. He made fake cards for consumption, and after being caught, he went to prison.
Making fake cards is a test of IQ. Since Zhang Jiao can do this, it is enough to show that he is smarter than many people. But he didn't use his cleverness on regular channels, and it is not surprising that he ended up in prison. Because of the white rolls of that year, Zhang Jiao has always been the object of many people's attention, so his mistakes will also be magnified. As a result, even if he is released from prison after a few years of imprisonment, his mistakes will be remembered.
Now everyone on the Internet knows that Zhang Jiao broke the law and embarked on the road of crime, and is used as a teaching material to support the "uselessness of reading". When he is released from prison, he will certainly not have much future. There are some mistakes that you can't make, and you have to spend the rest of your life making up for them.
Misconceptions about Bill Gates
At the beginning, Zhang Jiao handed in a blank paper and wanted to emulate Bill Gates. But he is afraid that there is some misunderstanding about Bill Gates, not only him, but many students should only know that Bill Gates is worth more than 100 million after dropping out of school to start a business, but they don't know that he dropped out of Harvard University. And he dropped out of school not because he felt that "reading is useless", but because he had finished learning what the university could teach him, so he ended his studies early and chose to start a business.
Bill Gates began studying computer programming at the age of thirteen, and he had the talent and connections to successfully start Microsoft after dropping out of Harvard University. Many students envy him for having such great achievements after dropping out of school. So many people want to be like Bill Gates, even if they don't have a degree, they want to work hard for their careers, and Zhang Jiao is one of them.
But his original intention of dropping out of school is a world of difference from Bill Gates's, so it is also destined that Bill Gates will succeed and he will fail. Reading is not the only way out, but it is the closest shortcut to success.
The editor used to support the "uselessness of reading" theory and was unwilling to be determined by a few papers, but then I went to college and gradually understood that although going to college is not the only way out, my life after experiencing college baptism is complete. University teaches you not only knowledge, but also how to behave in the world and how to take the next step.
The last sentence I want to give to Zhang Jiao, and I also want to give it to every reader who feels that his fate should not be bound by the current situation. "If you think you're capable, prove yourself with excellent grades." Many students always feel that grades cannot be used as the only criterion for judging them, and feel that their abilities are not visible to the teacher, and they feel that the teacher looks down on them.
However, if they are really capable, how can they not even be able to control the results in their hands? If they cannot even learn the knowledge in books, then how can they do a good job in actual combat? Most of the students with poor grades are not not intellectually insufficient, but are often just lazy and cowardly. Grab the book in hand, get ready for the next exam, and use the skills you want to prove to others to get a good score!
