Today, at work, I inadvertently saw Mr. Hu wrote in 1932, "gift this year's college graduates", roughly a few eyes feel very good. And then after work to find the appreciation of a bit, after reading a sentence to say is: Feeling a lot, useful endless.

Today in May formally entered the work since the feeling of ups and downs, stepped over a lot of pits, but also buried some pits for themselves, in short, the work is not smooth, feel that they are not strong enough to be able to drift by the people at random control, this can not grasp the fate of the feeling very uncomfortable, complaining about so much, the following say Mr. Hu

Mr. Hu Shi has given four recipes in two gift articles:

    1. "Always look for one or two worthy questions!" "Looking back on their learning career, I found that there are goals and specific problems when learning faster and more efficient, through the project or research subject to learn the necessary skills and knowledge, in contrast with their own self-study, self-motivation is not enough, may have learned for several days not to read a book, after reading also quickly blurred the learning, Knowledge should be used and summarized after the refining is their own. Also, whether it is study or work is the first problem, and then build the instrument or prepare the instrument, learn some knowledge to solve these problems, rather than do everything ready to think about the problem and solve the problem.
    2. "There's gotta be a little bit of non-career interest. As Mr. Hu said, "The career you are looking for is not necessarily what you learn, not necessarily what you are happy with, or what you are learning and not similar to your temperament." In this case, work is often a drudgery, and it does not feel interested. It is difficult to maintain the interest of knowledge and the idealism of life in order to do the work that is not "close to sex". The best remedy is to develop more legitimate interests and activities outside of the profession. "and" you have such a satisfying activity, life is not Kuji, the spirit will not be bored. ”
    3. "You have to have a little faith. "Stones, not a little effort will be wasted, but we do not see and efforts are not enough," we must be convinced that: today's failure, because of the past does not work. We must be convinced that today's efforts must have a future harvest. "There is no vain effort in the world." Success does not have to be in me, but the skill will not tang donation. ”
    4. "You have to reflect on yourself: not to blame others, not to blame society." "Our failure today stems from our own non-effort in the past, not to blame the society for the blame, and" only the responsibility is to live, because only their own efforts are most reliable. ”

Here is the original text of Mr. Hu Shi:

hu Shi: Donated to this year's university graduates "1932"
Mr. Hu wrote on the night of June 27, 1932, the dean of Peking University and the head of the Chinese Literature Department, the 7th of the July 3, 1932 independent review in two weeks, universities all over the world have graduated, and many graduates leave the school to start their adult career. The student's life is one kind enjoys the special preferential life, may as well be naïve, may as well as noisy, the society can condone them, refuses strictly to want them to take the responsibility of the behavior. Now they have to prop up their shoulders to pick their own burdens. In this national calamity most urgent year, their burden is really not light! We wish them success, but also can not bear their own experience, give them a few off the parting,----although not necessarily a life-saving hair, perhaps do a self-defense of the Kam Bag! after you graduate, there are few ways to go: A handful of people can continue to do academic research at national and foreign academies; a few can find a decent career, and there are officials, the party, the Revolution three roads, and the home is good or unemployed pro-Habitat. Those who take the other roads must not be in danger of falling. There are a lot of ways to fall, to sum up, about these two major categories: first, it is easy to abandon the students ' desire to seek knowledge . You come to the actual society, often underemployed, often learn all useless, often can be recognized completely without knowledge, and the same can be recognized as random bread where eat, mixed officials eat. In this kind of environment even if the person who always holds the knowledge, also unavoidably burnout, the desire of learning is gradually cold down. Moreover, learning is to have considerable equipment; books, labs, mentorship, leisure time, are not an ordinary life to support the people who can easily do. Who can blame us for abandoning knowledge without the environment of scholarship? second, it is easy to abandon the ideal life pursuit of the students ' time . Young people for the first time and cold social contact, easy to feel the ideal and the facts are too far away, prone to pessimism and disappointment. Many years embrace the ideal of life, transformation of the enthusiasm, the courage to struggle, at this time, it seems that all is not so the same thing. Small individuals in that strong social fire, often can not withstand the long period of smelting melted, a little noble ideals soon disillusioned. To embrace the dream of transforming society, often is to abandon a soldier to go, or to do a vicious prisoner. You in that prison, recall that the young invincible times of all kinds of idealism, seems to have become a self-mistaken astray dream! From then on, you will willingly give up the pursuit of ideal life, and be reconciled to the shunmin of society now. To defend these two aspects of the fall, one side to maintain our desire for knowledge, one side to maintain our pursuit of life. What's the best way to do that? According to my personal observation and experience, there are three kinds of self-defense prescription is worth a try. the first prescription has only one sentence: " always find one or two worth of research issues!" "The problem is the ancestor of knowledge, the generation and accumulation of all knowledge through the ages is due to the solution of the problem,---to solve practical difficulties and theoretical problems." The so-called "knowledge for knowledge", in fact, is only a curiosity to pursue a solution to a problem, but because the nature of the problem does not have to be directly applied, people think it is irrelevant to seek knowledge. after we leave the school, leaving the academic environment, if there are not one or two questions worth answering in the brain, it is difficult to maintain the enthusiasm for learning. However, if you have a really interesting question to tease you to think of him, every day to tempt you to solve him, every day to you to provoke you helpless him,---this time, you will be in love with a woman mad, sitting also sit, sleep also disturbed, no time also have to steal time to accompany her, no money also have to scrimping to curry her. Without a book, you will change the seller to buy the book privately, no instrument, you will dianya clothing to purchase equipment, no mentorship, you will came all to seek the division of friends and relatives. As long as you have problems to make you use your brain, you will naturally keep developing your interest in learning, even in the poorest of knowledge, you will slowly gather up a small library, or set up a small laboratory. So I said, the first thing is to find out. There is no problem in the mind of the day, is your knowledge life at the time of the demise! The ancients said, "to the King and Hing, Fainmin also." Chizhov hero, although no Wen Wang Xing. "Imagine how many books Galileo (GALIEO) and Newton (NEWTON) had?" How many instruments are there? They are just having problems with themselves. They have problems and they will build instruments to solve their problems. People who don't have problems, they won't use books in the library, and they won't find anything locked in the lab. the second prescription has only one sentence: "To develop a little bit of non-professional interest ," after leaving school, we always find a meal of the profession. But the career you seek is not necessarily what you learn, not necessarily what you are happy with, or what you are learning and not similar to your temperament. In this case, work is often a drudgery, and it does not feel interested. It is difficult to maintain the interest of knowledge and the idealism of life in order to do the work that is not "close to sex". The best remedy is to develop more legitimate interests and activities outside of the profession. a person should have his career, also should have his non-professional things, can be called amateur activities. Often his extracurricular activities are more important than his career, because what a person does, often depends on how he uses his leisure time. He used his leisure to play Mahjong, he became a gambler, you use your leisure to do social services, you may become a social reformer, or you use your leisure to study history, you may become a historian. Your leisure time will always set you up for life. Two philosophers of the United Kingdom in the 19th century, MI er (J. S,mill) was the secretary of the East India Company for life, but his amateur work made him a very high place in philosophy, economics and political Thought history. Spencer (SPENCER) is a surveying engineer, but his amateur work has made him an important city in the world of the late century. The people who became brainiac in the ancient times, hardly had a poor use of his leisure time. Especially in this organization is not a sound Chinese society, the occupation is not easy for our temperament, we want to live without pain not degenerate, only a multi-party development. with this beloved thing, you do not feel bored when you do a six-head wiping table, because you know, after wiping the six-hour table, you can go home to do your chemistry research, or finish your large landscapes, or write your novel drama, or continue your history textual research, or do your social reform career. You have this kind of satisfying activity, life is not Kuji, the spirit will not be bored. the third method is only one sentence: " you have to have a little confidence ." "We are born into this unfortunate time, what we see in our eyes, what we hear in our ears, is nothing but despair us." Especially in this year graduated from you, see their national people sink to this step field, see the world is only the world of power, look at the horizon seems to be invisible gleam of light-in this year not crazy suicide, is lucky, how can still maintain a little inner calm and ideal trust? I want to say to you: This is the time for us to develop our faith! As long as we are confident, we can be saved. the Ancients said: "Faith (FAITH) can move mountains." "and said:" As long as the time is deep, pig iron grinding into needle. "Don't you believe it?" When Napoleon's army conquered Prussia and occupied Berlin, there was a professor called Fichte, who told his countrymen every day in the lecture hall to have faith that their nation was a special mission of the world and must be revived. When Fichte died, no one could predict when the German reunification Empire could be fulfilled. However, under 50 years, the new reunification of the German Empire actually came true. the strength and decline of a country is not accidental, and cannot escape the iron law of cause and effect. All the pain and disgrace we have suffered today are just the consequences of all the evils of the past. We have to reap the good fruit of the future, we must strive to grow the new cause. A grain of seed, there will be full of housing, this is the confidence we should have today. we must be convinced that the failure of today is due to the lack of effort in the past. We must be convinced that today's efforts must have a future harvest. Buddhist scriptures in a word: "Fu not Tang donated." "Tang donated is lost in vain." We should also say: "Gong not to donate!" " no effort will be lost in vain." When we can't see, in the direction we can't see, you see! The seed that you planted has already had the root hair leaf to bear fruit! Don't you believe it? After being defeated by Prussia, France cut two provincial land and lost 5 billion francs. At this time, a diligent scientist, PASTEUR, spent his days in his chemical laboratory doing his chemical and micro-microbial studies. He is the most patriotic man yet he is convinced that only science can be the salvation of the nation. He has spent his life proving three scientific questions: (1) Each fermentation is due to the development of a micro-bacterium; (2) Each infectious disease is a micro-bacterium in the development of biological body, (3) Infectious diseases of the micro-bacteria, under special cultivation can reduce toxicity, so that they from the pathogen into a vaccine to prevent disease. these three problems seem to have little to do with the big cause of saving the nation. However, from the first point of proof, Pasteur decided to make vinegar brewing new law, so that the national wine vinegar industry to deduct a great loss every year. The second question proves how the silk industry in the country has been breeding for disease prevention, teaching livestock farmers nationwide how to prevent cattle and sheep epidemics, and teaching the world how to focus on disinfection to reduce the death rate of surgery. From the third issue of proof, Pasteur invented the animal's spleen heat blast therapy, each year for the French farmers to reduce the large loss of 20 million francs, but also invented the dog bite poison treatment, relief countless lives. So HUXLEY, a British scientist, hailed Pasteur's merit in the Royal Society: "France has given Germany 5 billion of French reparations, and Mr. Pasteur alone has done enough to pay off the money for the achievements of science." "Pasteur had great faith in science, so he refused to abandon his microscope and laboratory when the country BTS Mo Chit. He did not think he had the ability to repay 5 billion francs under a microscope, but he had reaped the miracle of scientific salvation in his sight. friends, when you are the most despair, that is when you have to muster strong confidence. You must be convinced that there is no wasted effort in the world. Success does not have to be in me, but the skill will not tang donation.

---------------------

came in 1934, two years later, the words of a university graduate    two years ago, at the end of June, I published a "gift to this year's college graduates" in The Independent review (seventh), in which I said that I would give three self-defense prescriptions to those college graduates based on my own experience: The first recipe is: "Always look for a two questions worth studying." "When a young man leaves the environment of scholarship, it is difficult to maintain the enthusiasm of the student's pursuit of knowledge if there is not a two problematic problem to swirling in the mind." "However, if you have a really interesting question every day to tease you to think of him, every day to tempt you to solve him, every day to you to provoke laughter, you have no alternative to him--at this time, you will be in love with a woman mad, no books, you will change the seller private to buy books; no mentorship, no dianya. You will came all to find a teacher and friends "No problem can be studied people, closed in the library will not use books, locked in the laboratory will not study." The second recipe is: "Have to develop a little bit of amateur interest." "The job The graduate is looking for may not be suitable for what he has learned, or what he has learned, and not necessarily what he is happy with." The best remedy is to develop more legitimate interests and activities outside of his profession. A person's future always depends on how he spends his spare time. His career in his spare time is often more important than his career. British philosopher Nathan (J.s.mill) is the secretary of the East India Company, but his amateur work has made him an important contributor in philosophy, economics, and political thought. Qianlong years Hangzhou Wei in a pawn shop has done more than 20 years of the man, "Day camp, to night Gou Xia light reading." Later became a famous poet and painter (Liuzhou manuscripts, Ridge gathered). The third recipe is: "There must be a little faith." "We should believe that the failure of the nation today is due to the lack of effort in the past, and that our efforts today must have a future harvest." One grain of seed, there must be a full house of the closed. Success does not have to be in me, and skill must not be wasted. This is what I said to college students two years ago, and it's time to graduate from universities this year. Two days ago I attended the two university graduation ceremony in Peiping, my heart wants to say, wants to go, still only these three words: wants to seek the question, must develop the amateur interest, must have the confidence. but I remember two years ago, after I published that text, a college graduate wrote, "Mr. Hu, you're wrong." After we graduate, we are unemployed! The problem of eating can't be solved, can we talk about the problem of research? Career can't find, that can talk about amateurs? Ask for more than 10 years of study, in the end can not paste their mouth, how can have confidence? So your three prescriptions are useless! The you have to reflect on yourself: not to blame others, not to blame the community." "You should think: Why is the same diploma, other people take the effective, you take it is ineffective?" Or is it just because someone else has access to help and you don't? Or is it because someone else learned something and you didn't learn it? Why is the same as "university", his school diploma is valuable, and your alma mater's diploma is not worth money? Or is it just because society is only asking for fame and not asking the facts? Or is it because your school is not qualified? Or is it because your alma mater's reputation is ruined by you and your classmates, so society hates to despise your academy? We at rest observation, we cannot but say that today China's social undertakings have gradually been on the track trend, public and private institutions have gradually become strict employment. Where schoolwork is too loose, management is too wide, teachers are not good, bad school, every year despite the hundreds of graduates, they can not be in the community to get a better position. By chance, they will not be kept for long. In turn, those universities that are serious enough to give students a good training-especially the emerging Tsinghua and Nankai universities-rarely find a good place for their graduates. I know that a few two months ago, a few big banks had already been in the north looking for graduates from the economics department. I was in Tsinghua University the day before yesterday, I heard that Tsinghua University this year more than 40 graduates have been all kinds of industry pre-hired. Now there are many institutions in the domestic organizers are really willing to pay attention to the selection of the university's talent. Two or three years ago, Mr. Tao Meng of the Social Research Institute said to me, "in recent years, the graduates of the economics Department of Peking University are far inferior to those of Tsinghua University, so we have not used a graduate of the Department of Economics in the past two years." "It happened that I borrowed two magazines on the train and read a study that caught my attention, and then I stumbled upon the author of the essay as an economics student who had not graduated from Peking University, and I asked him to give Mr. Tao Meng some of his studies." Mr. Tao looked very happy, told him to talk, then the student after graduation in the social investigation work to now, finally for his alma mater in Mr. Tao Meng's mind restored a little lost credit. This thing should make us understand that the society has gradually had a strict standard of employing people, in an academic institution presided over by an old teacher in Peking University, if there is no reliable achievement, the old signs of Peking University cannot help anyone to find a job. in the Central Research Institute chaired by Mr. Cai Yuanpei, last year I saw Mr. Fu Sinian hired a university Malay department will graduate in the first few months of the summer vacation. This year I saw him in a few months before the summer vacation and Tsinghua University to rob a Tsinghua History department will graduate. All these things should make us understand that today's Chinese society is not a college diploma can be fooled into eating food. Take the diploma and find the people who do not work, should be self-reflection: The society needs talent, is the ability, is the knowledge, and I myself is not talent, have the ability? Used to pick easy lessons in school, support perfunctory teachers, down strict teachers, absenteeism, test, with entrainment, all kinds of hiding lazy trickery means to this all lost the role. Hide lazy trickery mixed to the diploma, in this new strict standard of employing, originally just a piece of waste paper. Even if this diploma can be temporarily mixed with a job, a few hours, after all, is not trustworthy, after all, to be the best talent squeezed out. Not to break the "iron rice bowl" is not the power of the fathers, not the recommended book of the broad headmaster, also is not the reference of the classmate party, but the real learning and training . To be able to do so is to reflect. To be so introspective, there is no hope of rescuing themselves. How can the people who have graduated from work to be unemployed be able to rescue themselves? There is no other way, only extra effort, you learn a little more reliable skills. More than 20-year-old youth, if they can do their own work, there is no lack of progress. This society is the most lack of talent and the need for talent. A little effort often has 10 times times the reward, a point of achievement can often get a very hundred cent of the false sound. The incentives for of society is far more than we deserve, and there is no real effort to get the recognition of society. The person who has no job opportunity, only has the extra effort to train oneself can hope to have the work, the person who has the job opportunity to think that the treatment is too thin status too low person, also only diligently work can rely on the result to raise his position. The only responsibility is to live, because only their own efforts are most reliable.
