  Everyone knows how great Oxford is: the birth of 25 prime ministers, 250 world-class leaders, 47 Nobel Prize winners ... But the pinching irritate D between it and the competitor, Cambridge, made me feel small. Oxford is old, with 800 years of history, and so modern, it has the world's youngest business school and the most perfect Silicon Valley entrepreneurial park in the UK. It was arrogant, super arrogant and categorically refusing to enroll Blair's son, but when it begged Microsoft for $10 million to sponsor it, the headmaster Chris Patten was a flattering smile ...

    after seeing so many contradictions, my mind also experienced another imbalance. Before going to Oxford, I am very confident: I have taught 200,000 of students, my vocabulary has 50,000 of the huge, I took a CPA, I have established their own company, I witnessed the "new East" from the Zhongguancun, the small little corner, the rapid development to today has 780 million turnover of super training predators. When I got to Oxford, I gradually felt inferior. Although I graduated from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, although I have been involved in Mr. Yuan Longping's rice cloning, but when I randomly read the class resume, I found that I can not mention the rice-planting thing. Students from the United States are not Harvard Yale, Stanford, the worst is Berkeley.

    in class, when the graceful professor voluminous said 10 minutes, I didn't know what he was talking about, But unfortunately by their point to answer the question, had to bite the bullet to answer. But when it comes to the second sentence, an American classmate rhetorical me with an incredibly fast speed, and at that moment, I am proud of my English is very hurt. I think I have been involved in the capital operation of the new Oriental, the introduction of the new Oriental 200 million investment, what does not work? But during the panel discussion, when we simulated the acquisition of the biggest super waterworks in the UK, I didn't use Excel, and they talked about terminology and I only nodded.

every day of study in Oxford is like a taut clockwork, such as talking to a classmate about a plan to eat a hamburger in the evening, then go to the library, from 6 o ' clock 11 o'clock And then rode my mountain bike back to the dorm, which was a 30-minute walk, and there were still 3 paper to do after I went back, and I'm sure to write 2 to 2:30. I insisted for two months, two months later finally, I fell ill for the first time. Before I was in China, especially in school, my nickname is "Health", I have not had a cold for five or six years, now I unexpectedly 39 degrees high fever. I slept all day and night, and the next day I found out I was really tired. Not only did I get tired, 140 people in the whole class were almost exhausted once.

I used to think I was versatile, I would blow Fife, play the guitar, I used to be the super striker of the new Oriental football team. In Oxford, my confidence was hurt once again, with the Sydney Olympic champion in the class of our tiny 140-person class, with 13 Oxford Varsity members, ice hockey, baseball, wrestling, soccer, and even a rowing team on the Thames, R. with Cambridge. I am helpless, our school team does not take me, because my forward foundation in Oxford is not recognized, my self-confidence has been removed.

I am very good with a young man from Canada, because we can speak Chinese, he has studied three majors, the last major is Chinese philosophy, study Sun Tzu's Art of War. The little guy said, "When I graduated from Yale Law School, I didn't think there was any activity in the world I couldn't get into, there was no course I couldn't finish, but there was one exception: I went to Oxford." ”

Finally, we finally got out and graduated, but I believe that what I get in Oxford is not just a diploma.

The feeling that I have felt for more than a year will benefit me for life.

I didn't know when I went to Oxford.
