The desire to change destiny is the common pursuit of every struggler. The college entrance examination was once regarded as a stage to realize this wish, but the cruelty of reality is far beyond imagination. In this impetuous society, connections and background often have a more decisive impact than knowledge and skills. With no connections and no background, no matter how much knowledge you have, you can only be reduced to an ordinary worker. Perhaps, reading can slightly improve the status and make a little money, but this kind of promotion and making money is only on the surface, and the real power to change fate is far less powerful than people expect.
The depreciation of academic qualifications has become an indisputable fact. In the past, academic qualifications were a measure of a person's ability, but this is no longer the case. With the increasingly fierce competition in society, it is difficult to occupy a place in the job market based on academic qualifications alone. Liberal arts students, in particular, often find it more difficult to find a job that matches their major in this era of high levels of practical majors such as technology and engineering. And once they enter the society, many people find that the knowledge they have learned is almost useless in practical work. This huge gap often makes people feel lost and helpless, and even doubt whether they have made the right choice.
However, in the face of these dilemmas, we are not without options. First of all, we need to face up to reality and recognize our limitations before we can find a solution to the problem. Secondly, we must continue to enrich ourselves, improve our comprehensive ability, and increase our competitiveness in the workplace. This includes constantly learning new knowledge, developing new skills, and actively participating in social practice, expanding one's network and increasing one's social experience. Only in this way can we better adapt to changes in society and better cope with the challenges of the future.
In addition, we must also learn to keep pace with the times, actively embrace change, and constantly adjust our life plans and career development directions. In this era of rapid change, it is difficult for anyone who rests on their laurels and is unwilling to change to gain a foothold in society. Therefore, we need to learn to be flexible and adjust our thinking and strategies at any time to respond to the ever-changing social environment. Only in this way can we stand out in the fierce competition and realize the value of our lives.
To sum up, although the cruelty of reality makes people feel extremely disappointed, we cannot give up hope, let alone sit idly by. As the predecessors said, "The road is long, and I will go up and down to seek." "As long as we have the courage to work hard, be aggressive, believe in ourselves, and constantly improve ourselves, we will be able to change our destiny and move towards a bright future."
