Li Kaifu wrote the fourth letter to Chinese students
The four years should be in this day, Li Kai Fu, in February 2005, I replied to the "Rehabilitation Student Network" to open the 1000th question since the opening. After turning off the computer, there is always a student to believe in my mind, can't go: Opening Teacher: I have to graduate. Looking back at your so-called university life, I want to cry, not because of the leave, but because I haven't learned anything. I don't know, what should I write? If I will make it blank if I have ever. The biggest harvest may be ... I have no patience and adaptation to anything ... This is a lot of the big three and big four students. During the university, many students let go of their own, vain, and many students have never found the correct learning direction. When they were awakened by the first completion of the test, when they received the first seven refused to apply for the company, these students were surprised to find that their future is so embarrassing, everything is hard to be too late ... This "fourth letter" is written to the college students who wish to wake up from the unbenders, and those who have never sleepled and want to grasp their future and destiny, and those who are about to enter the university threshold. In this letter, I want to say to all the students: University is the most critical phase in the people's life. From the first day of enrollment, you should have a correct understanding and planning for the four years. In order to enjoy the biggest happiness in learning, in order to find your favorite work during graduation, everyone who just entered the university campus should master seven learning: learning self-study, basic knowledge, practice, interested, interested, Active, control time, for people. As long as this is done, the biggest gain of college students will never be "patience and adaptation to anything", but should be "confident and desire to anything." As long as you do this, you can become a great graduate with potential, ideas, valuable, and promising. University: The key university in life is a key stage of life. This is because entering the university is that you finally put down the burden of the college entrance examination, and I started chasing my ideals and interests. This is where you leave family life, the first time I participate in groups and social life. This is the theoretical knowledge you no longer learn or recite books. The first time I have the opportunity to practice in the same time. This is the first time you no longer arrange everything in life and learning in your parents, but there is enough free disposal of life and learning, and dominate all your own time. University is a key stage of life. This is because this is the last time you have a chance to systematically accept education in your life. This is the last time you can build your knowledge wholehearted. This may be that you can last for the last time for learning, or the last time you can have a higher plasticity, concentrate on the growth process. This may be that you can last in relatively tolerant, you can use the ideal environment that is studying as people. University is a key stage of life. In this stage, all college students should carefully grasp every "first", let them become the cornerstone of the future life road; in this stage, all college students should also cherish every "last", don't let yourself not Far in the future regrets. In the four years, everyone should work hard to weave life, clear the direction of struggle, and lay the foundation. Everyone in four years, only once, and the university should spend this way ... Self-repair: From the persistent three to no teacher, I remember that when I was at the University of Columbia, I had a Chinese student's parents complained about me: "What are you taught in your college? My child has finished the big second computer system, and I will not use Visicalc [1]." I replied at the time: "The development of the computer is changing. We can't guarantee the college teaching. Any technique is still tuned for five years, and we cannot guarantee that students can learn every technology and tools.
What we can guarantee is that your child will learn to think and master the method of learning, so that no matter what new technologies or new tools after five years, your child can go to the edge. "She then asked:" The latest software is not educational, what is the essence of education? " "I replied:" If we have forgotten the things, the last thing is the essence of education. "I was said at the time from the famous educator BF Skinner. The so-called" remaining things ", in fact, it is the ability of self-study, that is, the ability to give a backlit or no teacher. University is not a" professional training class ", and It is a platform for students to adapt to society and adapt to different jobs. During the university period, learning expertise is important, but more importantly, it is necessary to learn the way independent thinking, and cultivate the ability to raise a reflection. Only, university graduates can adapt to the moment of change The future of the world. I have known many friends who have read college students in China. They think that they are learning, work or life, their most lack of independent thinking because they are very few due to domestic Independent thinking and independent decision-making. When Middle School After working on the job, self-study ability is more important. Microsoft has done a statistical: in every Microsoft employee, only about 10% is the employee to accumulate in the past. Other knowledge is re-learning after joining Microsoft. This data sufficiently shows that a person who lacks self-learning ability is in a modern business such as Microsoft. Self-learning ability must start training during the university. Many students always It is not good to complain that the teacher is not good, knowing more, the school's course arrangement is unreasonable. I usually advise these students say: "It is better to curse the darkness, not as bright as a candle." College students should only follow the teacher, and also It should take the initiative to walk in front of the teacher. For example, the university teacher usually covers the information content of tens of pages in the textbook, and only through the classroom is unable to learn all the knowledge, learn. Best learning The method is to make a clear understanding of the relevant questions in the textbook before the teacher lectures, and then make up for the shortcomings of understanding and understanding in the classroom. Middle school students are more pursuing "remember" when learning knowledge. Knowledge, and college students should ask their own "understanding" knowledge and be good at proposing questions. For each knowledge point, you should ask a few "why". Once you really understand the theory or method's coming dragon, you can take other things to learn other Knowledge, solve other problems, even reach a realm of non-secret. In fact, many problems have different ideas or observation angles. When learning knowledge or solving problems, don't always start a thinking mode, don't let yourself become Textbooks or slaves of experience. Only in learning dare to innovate, good at thinking about problems from a new perspective, students' potential thinking ability, creativity and learning ability can really be truly excited. "Books and Academy" Soochings and no friends, then ignorant. That is to say, college students should make full use of talent resources in schools, absorb knowledge and methods from various channels. If you encounter good teachers, you can Practice to ask them, or ask them to recommend some extracurricular reference books. In addition to senior professors, young teachers, doctoral students, master students, and their own classmates are the best knowledge source and study partners. Everyone does not have the same understanding and understanding of the problem, only to help each other, everyone can make progress together. Some students have told me that they envy me to have a master of the Master who has obtained the Trum-winning. In fact, although I am very advocating my teacher, he didn't teach me how much expertise during the university.
