I don't think it's good for her to send such a message in a circle of friends. After all, she should be a teacher, and there may be low-grade students in it.
I replied with the following sentence: Education is the foundation of the country.
My sister also replied: it is just a tool for making a living, without any emotional color, let alone the foundation of the country.
I'm surprised at her change. My cousin is a very motivated person. I remember when she first entered this school, she was really envious of others.
Ten years later, she is no longer the active teacher, but all kinds of complaints like a boudoir.
Later, I heard from my cousin that their school was sold to an enterprise and signed a ten-year contract. It still belongs to this school, maybe it will be demolished tomorrow. What can we change in this big environment?
Yes, we can't change the general environment, but we can change our mentality. If everyone thinks so and everyone does so, wouldn't it be even more hopeless?
If everyone's life is in mediocre repetitive work, you are not as good as a machine. Will eventually be eliminated by society.
Zhao Xin, a high school classmate, is an excellent young man. After graduation, he joined a large machinery manufacturing company. After only a few months, he became like Sister Xianglin all day.
He said: what should I do after studying at school for so many years? Do you know how bumpy your car is?
Let's give a simple example. We can't make a small nut, the difference is a few thousandths of a millimeter. Strictly speaking, we must return to the factory. However, in order to catch up with the time, we can only barely read it and then smash it in.
He looks really upset because he is a teenager who can't study hard. I said, go to the long school yourself and do a good job. We will try our best to catch up with German manufacturing.
"Come on, my elder sister, a machine tool tens of millions, I can earn tens of millions in my life? It is better to remove a few zeros, "he said, picking up the bottle and gulping it down. "
"Forget it, just mix it, just make a living, talk about ideals, missions, nonsense, work hard for a few years, work as a small official, make a living, and expect me to change the country?" Zhao Xin's bottle hasn't been put down yet. I feel that he is using wine to suppress the tears in his heart.
I tried to comfort him, but I couldn't find a suitable reason. In the social environment, values have indeed changed too much, perhaps not as pure as trying to do a good job, but every step is related to interests.
Once work becomes only a tool for you to make a living, you become its slave.
Everyone will be confused in the process of moving forward. Will lose hope, even despair.
However, any setbacks and difficulties should not be the reasons and excuses for not trying.
If you have eight hours of work time every day, it will take up a quarter of the day. How should you spend this quarter of your time? How do you spend eight hours in your life? With the help of a passage by Paul, I feel full of power every time I read it:
When he looks back on the past, he will not regret wasting his time, nor will he be ashamed of being mediocre; In this way, when he dies, he can say, "All my life and energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world-the struggle for the liberation of mankind.
Work should not be a tool for us to make a living, but a career we should pursue all our lives.
