A letter from Dana to herself.
Dear self:
I graduated from China Geo University (Wuhan) in 2008. After graduation, I joined an oil company to work in petroleum geology. Because of the particularity of my work, I was soon sent to the grassland at the junction of Jilin and Inner Mongolia for an internship. At first, I was very uncomfortable with the life of the drilling team. We work twelve hours a day and rest twelve hours. There is no signal on the grassland, so you can only look at the time with your mobile phone. The hardship of the environment and the boredom of work always give me a sense of unease. Everyone else on the construction site seems to be unconscious. They only do three things every day: eat, work and sleep. Other than that, there is no communication. After more than ten days, I also adapted to that kind of life psychologically. Because the internship requires me to be familiar with the work of each post of the drilling team, I have the opportunity to contact the engineering equipment and management methods of each post. I fiddled with those devices every day for the next few months.
After the internship, I returned to the Academy of Engineering to engage in design work. The design work itself is simple. However, due to the engineering design work, it is necessary to exchange and review data with different sub-units. So I often have to run several units to complete a design. A year later, I began to question the efficiency of this kind of work.
I remember seeing others surfing the Internet with mobile phones, laptops surfing the Internet with 3G wireless networks, and people surfing the Internet with wifi in public places. I began to have an idea: What if wired networks and wireless networks could be used in industry? Later, it was this idea that made me decide to leave that oil company and a so-called? Iron rice bowl? )。 In fact, at first, I really wanted to suggest my ideas to the leaders. But I soon realized that it was almost impossible to do this in state-owned enterprises.
After resigning, I plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination, study geology and computers in the process of study, and realize my own ideas. But this road is meaningless. After that, I don't want to spend time on the postgraduate entrance examination, and I don't want to do my previous work. No income, completely unemployed. But the rapid development of the Internet of Things has aroused my affirmation of my own ideas. With my internship and work experience in all aspects of oil exploration and development industry, I know exactly what I need. So I found Dana's school online.
At present, the most difficult thing for me is not entirely technology, but cognition and practice. I know very well that my idea cannot be completed by one person or a team. But I can find a breakthrough to promote this technology. So I don't want to take the road of research and development. This is also the reason why I temporarily gave up embedded development and invested in C/C++. Because I majored in petroleum geology, I worked in petroleum engineering, and now I have introduced computer technology. These three points will distinguish me from petroleum geologists, drilling engineers, oil production engineers and program development engineers. I am between them. This also determines that I can be in a more flexible position in the oilfield integration construction in the future.
It is not easy to do this. I must master computer system and programming on the basis of in-depth study of petroleum geology and engineering, and at the same time understand the structure and breakthrough point of oilfield integration. The latter will be the biggest difficulty I face. But anyway, I admire Lockheed Martin's famous saying: between ideal and achievement, there is an important word: how. Is it? How come? This makes all the differences. ?

The second part of Dana's letter to herself
Dear self:
Since we have chosen the training in this plan, we must tear up the past failures and setbacks. Love yourself, stick to your beliefs and keep learning software technology.
Ever since you gave up your training in Dalian, you have been worried that you are not firm enough to spend a year here. Although you have learned a lot of social experience, it is your own knowledge that is so imperfect that you feel isolated. I hope to create value for myself and my loved ones by mastering a technology.
Maybe it's really stupid for you to choose Dana at this time, and you really haven't got the expected labor remuneration economically, so you really say that you are gnawing at the old! ! ! This will be a deadly battle.
Now that I have returned to the academic field of java, I will go on, master the usage of java, create high-value software, study hard and work in a world-class enterprise. The only goal of IBM is to get a satisfactory quotation and an architect. Today, when I have made all the preparations, I should let go.
Therefore, in the next four months, I will strictly abide by all kinds of strengthening rules made by Dana for us and have great respect for the teachers. Although I am not opposed to reality, I still have to follow their ideas step by step and regard contact with java as a life element that is equal to air every moment of every day!

Dana's letter to herself (Part III)
Dear self:
It's almost a year since graduation, and I'm also very confused on the road of choosing the future. I hope I can find a job that can make me study and improve better through my own efforts after graduation. However, due to the lack of education and experience, the shortcomings in all aspects are gradually exposed. In this process, by chance, my friend recommended Dana. After understanding and systematically understanding Dana's overall model and employment channels for auxiliary students, I came to Dana.
For myself, who just graduated, I have gradually begun to be confused about what I should do and what I want to do in the future. At the same time, I have also encountered doubts from my parents in this process. In the past six months, parents have slowly lost patience and asked themselves to go home to work. In this process, I also seriously communicated with my parents and entered Chengdu Dana to study.
Because of my parents, I have a good interest in communication and computers since I was a child, and I will pay more attention to related things in my spare time. More importantly, my interest has been kept in this information, and I have a certain direction in the process of confusion. The original intention of entering Dana is that I have a passion for the IT industry. I hope I can have deeper attainments in this field and take this industry as an opportunity to create more ways and directions for my future road.
After studying in Chengdu Dana for a week, I have no good learning methods in the face of a lot of knowledge every day and just coming into contact with JAVA. Meanwhile, I have always had an old habit of not asking questions. These questions also hope to be customer service seriously in the future study, often ask yourself more questions and write more, and discuss the principles with your classmates and teachers, so that your four-month study and life in Dana will have a good result.

Dana's fourth letter to herself
Dear self:
Hello! I am a student of Computer College of China West Normal University. My major was software engineering. When I first came into contact with software since I went to college, I really didn't understand it at all. Most of my classmates didn't pay attention to the class. Of course, I also follow the trend of the times and don't listen very much in class.
Later, I joined the campus civilization supervision team of the school. There were many activities in the university. Every activity, our supervision group must maintain activity discipline and take time off every time, which delays bad courses. In my sophomore year, I signed up for the national flag guard of my school. This is a disciplined organization, and I love my life in it. The national flag guard is an army-like life. Raising the national flag and training enriched every day in my college. I am very tired, but the pride and pride brought by it is something that others will never feel.
Writing to myself for the first time, reviewing college life, learning is my main rhythm. My college life is so full of passion, but software engineering is getting weaker and weaker in my heart, and I can't keep up with the pace of teachers. But every time I review a week before the final exam, I can rank in the top ten of the class with a person who usually doesn't study hard. I'm surprised that I can still get a scholarship every semester. I suddenly feel that college study is really too watery. Of course, I also understand that I can only talk on paper, and my hands-on ability is almost impossible.
Why did you come to Dana?
I know my hands-on ability is really not good. When I was in senior three, I hardly started typing code. If I hadn't practiced, I wouldn't have learned the software. In the process of studying, I am most afraid of going to the computer, because I find that I can't write at all. I have worked hard to study software programming. Listen carefully in class, but it's too late to keep up with the teacher's rhythm. It was only when the teacher took us to write the project that I realized how difficult it was.
When I was in senior three, my classmates were all looking for jobs. I know my ability to face employment is very problematic. When I was confused, I thought of Dana technology. I learned about the arrival technology in a lecture in our computer college. At that time, Dana came to our school to give a lecture, and I went to listen. But at that time, I was a junior, and I couldn't put down many things in school to do systematic study in Dana. Now I have thought about it, and I will come to Dana to do systematic training exercises, hoping to improve myself. At least I can finish Dana's course before graduation, hoping to find a satisfactory job before and after graduation through Dana.
What difficulties have been overcome?
The main difficulty in studying in Dana is tuition. I have been asking for money from my family for 23 years, and I don't want to ask for money from my family. But Dana's learning model has helped me a lot. His employment first and payment later gave me no worries. After studying, I can pay my own tuition, and I can stand on my own feet. I am still very grateful to Dana for this, thank you!
What are the goals and dreams?
I have no lofty goals or dreams. People are faced with choices all their lives. I choose Dana, and I believe in my choice. I have my own views on my goals and dreams. I don't stipulate how much money I want to earn. I don't stipulate how tall I will be in a few years. I just want to take the road ahead step by step. I firmly believe that as long as I work hard, I can do well, whether I am studying in Dana now or working in the future. Do everything with your heart As long as you put your heart into it, I believe you can achieve something and get something in return. I think any salary increase and promotion is a matter of course.
For my future, my future life. I have a girlfriend, so that I can live well and my family can live well in the future. I will study hard and shoulder this burden.
How do you achieve your goal?
For my own training in Dana, I will do everything with my heart. Go to Dana's class on time every day. I know I can't play like a university every day. Listen carefully in class, actively type the code, and actively ask the project manager questions if you don't understand in class. I believe in myself. After four months of study and hard work in Dana, you can improve yourself, do yourself well, and have a satisfactory job after the end.
Intention has always been my belief. I won't forget my faith. I will do my duty and serve Dana wholeheartedly.
I am deeply moved by the letter I wrote to myself here. I can clearly understand what I am doing, what I should do next, my persistence and my belief, and I will make a breakthrough. I hope that after the training, I can see this letter to myself here, and I can tell myself without regrets that I did it.
Thank you, my parents, my teacher and Dana, thank you!
Dana's fifth letter to herself
Give me my future self-
Modest and brave, the most important thing is self-knowledge, but don't set limits for yourself, don't forget your active mind, and persevere.
Why did I come to Dana?
I mainly want to recharge my batteries, but I'm not interested in what I learned in the university itself. Dana gave me a good opportunity to learn what I was interested in. I gave up what I didn't like, so I had the opportunity to do what I liked. I think this is a very important thing, because only if I like it and have enthusiasm for it can I achieve extraordinary things. My work means a lot to my life. I hope my job is what I like.
Indeed, for a network engineering graduate, learning Java may be more helpful to my salary and future. But I still firmly chose UI. Because I prefer to design and create beautiful things.
What difficulties did you overcome to reach your neck?
Speaking of difficulties, there are hardly any difficulties. The mode of paying after employment has to be boasted. I think it's great ~ because of the tuition fee of more than 10 thousand yuan, it's still very difficult for fresh graduates to take it out. If they want to pay at first, they can only let their parents take it, but it's always a bit embarrassing to take so much money from home after graduation ~ so I praise 1w the model of learning first and paying later.
Speaking of the real difficulty, it should be the choice of direction. One is the JAVA direction that is very suitable for my college major, and the other is my new field UI direction. The choice of standing at the crossroads is really tangled, but I still obeyed my heart. I chose my favorite UI.
If a person goes in the wrong direction in life, what is the best choice? Is to change in the right direction in time.
