I'm 28 years old and have only 5000 dollars in savings.

Last night, a friend, Xiao Mu, called me to borrow money from me. Because the child is sick, hospitalization needs a sum of money. She graduated 5 years ago and has only 5000 dollars in savings. Before that, she relied on her husband's salary to support her mortgage and daily expenses. This time the child is sick, Xiaomu completely collapsed, used all the savings, but also borrowed some.

I remembered that Xiaomu studied accounting, I said so long did not think of work? She said how not thought of, resume cast a lot, not even an interview opportunity. After graduation, they got married and had a child, and the things they learned were not used again, and they did not continue to learn and forget, which companies will want me.

The fact that I don't have a high level of education and experience makes it very difficult for me to find a job, and I'm not a valuable person in the workplace.

Xiaomu also wanted to upgrade their education through self-testing, to pick up the knowledge of accounting, but the family is also opposed to "what else? That are useless, focus on home with children. So give up the idea of enhancing the qualifications, so it is five years, she felt that she has been abandoned by the times.

In fact, she abandoned herself, because no one can stop you from learning.

Some time ago the news, Tangshan City Government road and bridge toll booths are canceled, a 36-year-old sister said, "I'm 36 this year, my youth are given to the tolls, and now in addition to the tolls will not be anything, and no one likes me, I can not learn anything."

Alibaba recruiting 60 years of age above the annual salary of 400,000 senior product experience teacher, which is 83 years old Tsinghua school grandma is a dozen groups of square dance KOL often organizing some offline activities, 62 years old moncler outlet store Zeng is more directly out of their own PPT, he also has a hand of skillful operation of Photoshop masterpiece.

On the one hand, there are the old moncler jackets for women who show off their talents, and on the other hand, there is the 36-year-old female toll collector who cries out that she has passed the age of learning new things, and that she will not be able to do anything but collect fees.

People, this life, the only thing you can not give up is learning. No matter what industry you are in, no matter how old you are, no matter whether you want to or not, otherwise you will be abandoned by the times.

A few days ago, I took a taxi home from work one night, and the driver chatted with me and asked me if I had been to college, what kind of work I did, and how I got off work so late. He said that his child is now in high school, the academic performance is very general, thinking of letting him learn some skills, do not continue to let him go to school, the diploma is not worth money. "You see you went to college, the work is still not to so late, so tired, might as well do some small business, life is also quite moist, but also do not have to work so hard."

Such a choice I really did not say anything, people and people are not the same, different people have different pursuits.

Some people find that there are famous university graduates who have not found a job, and there are many successful people who have not finished school are also very successful, so they go around saying that the diploma is useless, the theory of the uselessness of reading.

Some people's success belongs to the small probability event under the large probability event, for example, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard University.

In you do not have the confidence to feel that you can rely on luck to finish this life, and do not have the ability to feel that they are so good that it is difficult for others to reach the conditions, or please, read well. A diploma is a knock on the door, giving you a credential to be seen by more people. That can bring you economic benefits and the ability to give back, is from the lifelong continuous learning and accumulation, learning knowledge allows you to grow knowledge, open up the horizons, change the way of thinking.

Learning is hard, but it's undeniable that everything we go through creates our future selves in some way. There is a degree that can take the hand, invariably for their own in the future in the world to add some bottom, but also can make their own in the workplace to become a really worthwhile people.

The deeper you learn, the more you will realize that the purpose of learning is to shape a better mode of thinking. Shape your mindset in reading, and develop your core competencies, a better version of yourself.

Stick to reading. In reading and learning to develop a good thinking framework, after reading each book, you can think about the author's point of view of the book on their own knowledge of the framework of what impact, is to agree or deny, is to expand the trend or the sword to go sideways. When able to think about their own income, is really read a book.

Develop your core competencies . Core competitiveness may be a skill, deep in a skill, through a long period of accumulation and enhancement, can become more and more refined, this is the core competitiveness, such as doing accounting, can be through the level exam or some experience self-improvement, become a good accounting practitioner. Such ability is in fact no clear upper limit, will become more and more refined with your experience.

Insist on learning and thinking from now on to become a better version of yourself.
