As a college student, it reminds me of a saying that was often said in the 1970s and 1980s, "Keep the motherland in mind and look at the world." It is still very relevant today. How do we position ourselves? How do we face it? How to integrate yourself into the competitive social life? Each of us is concerned about personal development. This is the most practical issue. Comrades are all concerned about their own success and their own direction. After four years of college, whether to go abroad, take the postgraduate entrance examination, or find a job, these are the most practical issues. I would like to say a few words today on these practical issues. Before I tell you, let me tell you a little story: There was a young man who ran away from home when he was young and wanted to start his own business. He went to an elder of his clan to ask for advice. The elder had heard that the young man After the narration, he casually wrote three words, "Don't be afraid" and said, "Child, the secret of life is only six words. I will tell you three words today and the other three words I will tell you later." Thirty years later, the young man had gray hair. On his way back home, he visited the elder again. But the old man has passed away. The old man's family took out a letter and told him that this was specially left for you by the old man. The old man said that one day you will definitely come to him. The young man opened the letter and saw three big words written on a piece of white paper: "Don't regret." The old man told future generations a truth: "Don't be afraid" before middle age and "Don't regret" after middle age. The whole life is just these six words. At your age it's "Don't be afraid", but at my age it's "Don't regret it". I will provide you with some more figures, which are also closely related to you. I just talked about the issues of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" and the issue of employment pressure, which will plague our country for a long time and are practical issues for economic development. Regarding the employment issue, some data show that the number of college graduates will reach 2.8 million in 2004, an increase of 680,000 from 2003. In July 2002, there were still 500,000 graduates waiting for employment nationwide, and in July 2003 there were still 700,000. I said What do these numbers mean? They reflect the increasingly fierce competition for employment among college students. In the students' own words, "I have already smelled the smoke on the employment battlefield, and I knew it was difficult to find a job as soon as I entered university." I will also provide you with a figure. The country has a key topic during the "Tenth Five-Year Plan", "Research on the Expansion of the Scale of Higher Education and the Labor Market." Its judgment is: this year's college students are choosing a career, relationships, family The influence of factors such as background and social relationships has been greatly reduced. However, the career path of college students has not become smoother. "Lack of personality" has become more and more prominent and has become an obstacle for college students to choose a career. Regarding the employment issue, it is affected by various factors, but as far as this research topic is concerned, it is reflected in the employment of students. Compared with the past, many favors, backdoors and other aspects have a great impact on employment. factors, with the development of the situation, the influence of these factors has also decreased. Instead, it is the quality of individual students, their own conditions, and the choice of employment units. This factor is increasing. I hope it will arouse everyone's thinking, because everyone cares about themselves. growth. You may also have noticed that the media, including the media, are now hyping up the article: "Academic qualifications are ranked after ability" in an article by Guangming Daily, which talks about the standards for companies to select talents. In my opinion, it is actually: having academic qualifications is not only about academic qualifications, but also about ability, ability plus academic qualifications. Many well-known foreign and domestic companies and large enterprises, including administrative institutions, without exception use professional quality and academic performance as a benchmark for assessing talents. It is only used as a benchmark, and your learning ability and technology are compared with your own. Integrity, integrity, humility, and the ability to deal with others are the most important conditions. This is a rational and realistic approach to employing people. In other words, the current requirements for talents are more emphasis on ability and overall quality of talents. This is the orientation of employment in today's society. Everyone must see this situation well and face it. The feedback from employers to our education sector should indeed arouse our great attention and deep thought. When it comes to integrity, let me add a sentence: There is no question of style and discipline? D
