Class reunions, reminiscing about the old days and learning less
Just last month, we had a big party in our old classmates' reunion. At the end of each year, everyone will look for a location, get together to brag and relive the past. In the course of this meeting, I found a phenomenon that made me a little ridiculous.
Among this group of classmates, some are talented students, "rising stars" in dream schools, and some are scumbags, who know that they skip class and pick up girls all day long, and have nothing to do. But who would have thought that more than ten or twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and fate seems to have played a big joke on their group of people.
Those students who were once favored by teachers and parents and who would be "diligent and studious" are now living in poverty and struggling step by step. Seeing that they are old and still struggling at the bottom of society, they must have eaten all the tastes of the world.
In stark contrast, it is those "bad students" who did not learn and misbehaved during the school period, but now they are living a prosperous life, all dressed like rich gentry.
One of the big puzzles in my heart is: how did these guys, who were called "bad students" in the first place, get out of here?!
Ah, I remember. In the past, there was often this kind of scene in the class reunion: those academic tyrants who hid their merits and fame, when anyone mentioned going to study abroad, they put on an undoubted old posture, laughing at us "bad students" and saying nothing, thinking that how could people like us reach the sky in one step.
In fact, what is the future of studying these majors? It is better to learn financial management with my brothers, which is the best choice. At that time, they laughed at us for our lack of vision, and always said that science and engineering were hard and tiring, and that the salary in the future would be pitiful.
But who would have thought that the phrase "finance makes a lot of money" has become a portrayal of today. Although few of our classmates have gone to prestigious universities, the guys who are engaged in financial investment and securities management are now worth hundreds of millions. On the contrary, we science dogs, the more we have a head and a face from college, the more difficult it is to mix now.
To be honest, I also realized that only buying and selling is the way to get rich by making money. Let's take the big funder in our group of friends, for example, when I was in school, I only knew about my academic career and picking up girls, and who cared about my professional studies. But after coming out of the mixed society, they are much smarter than us, first started a small business, and then simply wandered in the financial investment circle, relying on the financial mind to see the wind and steer, and slowly became rich.
I have to admit that in this impetuous world, only by being like these former "bad students" can we grasp the opportunity of wealth. However, we "good students" who once had high hopes for our teachers have been stumped by dogmatism and have been unable to move forward, so it is no wonder that we have fallen to the point where we are today.
But then again, whether you can live a happy and healthy life, what does wealth have to do with your education? The key is how to behave. Rich people are not necessarily superior to others, and people who mix well are not necessarily happier than those of us who are doing poorly. As long as you stick to your heart and be a down-to-earth person, this life will not be in vain.
I hope that at the next class reunion, those people who had unlimited scenery back then can also return humbly and make people respect. And the group of "bad students" who were ridiculed in the past should also be familiar with the philosophy of life, and stop being confused. Maybe when you get together, everyone will resonate.
