Chapter 11 Part Two: Xu's Life Consulting Formula: S=E+E

Dear Teacher Xu: I am a sophomore (three-year) junior college student majoring in tourism English in a private college in Shandong, and I will be graduating soon. I think it is the golden time to do life design at this time.So need your help. We have the opportunity to upgrade to a junior college, and the ratio is about 30% (of the number of applicants).The first 15% will be charged normally, and the last 15% will be charged more than 10,000 yuan per year.There are not many opportunities for us to go out of the school to study undergraduates, and the situation of undergraduates will definitely change after two years.

I come from the countryside. Although my family has an orchard of more than ten acres (on a hill), because of the severe drought in recent years, there is not much income.One year's tuition plus expenses (tuition: 4,800 yuan), the parents have been busy for nothing for a year and have no savings.Therefore, I want to give up the opportunity to upgrade my undergraduate degree and get a job directly after graduation. I have also applied for the International Business Management major of LCCI.After a year of hard work, I believe that I can and must get a third-level certificate in international business management.At present, I have obtained a Chinese tour guide qualification certificate, and at the same time I want to take the foreign language tour guide qualification certificate examination this year, and get an English tour guide qualification certificate (we can get it for a few hundred yuan here, and I can work part-time).In this way, when I graduated, I had a college diploma majoring in tourism English, a Chinese and foreign tour guide certificate, and a third-level certificate in international business management from LCCI.

I want to go to Beijing to work in hotel management with these certificates.With these certificates, the monthly salary can be between 1,000 and 3,000, or higher (because LCCI students are paid well in foreign companies). I did this for three or four years. At that time, I was twenty-five or six years old. I had a certain amount of funds. I would find some money from my parents, borrow some money from my friends, and go to Switzerland to study a one-year hotel management program or a master’s degree in hotel management. (It won’t be more than three years, right?). When you come back, you will definitely be able to find a good position in a hotel of a foreign company, and your income may be good.In another two or three years, I will go to Peking University to study an EMBA or an MBA in the hotel industry in the UK, and I will reach a considerable height in my life when I return to China, so that I can continue to strive in my career and become the top in the hotel industry of foreign companies.

The reason why I want to work in the hotel industry is not only because you have talked about the hotel industry many times, but also because I study tourism, and my goal in life is to make a difference in the tourism industry and even in the hotel industry. Teacher Xu, I must go to New Oriental to talk to you once I graduate or before I graduate. This is my long-term wish and a dream in my heart. Teacher Xu, please verify my rough design. If there is anything wrong, please correct me. This is related to my life!!! I will be grateful!!! Your sincere student, Lu You Dear student Lu You: I am very happy to read your letter. I think the life design you have made for yourself is very correct. It is the starting point of your truly brilliant future in life and a sign of the awakening of a generation of young people's awareness of employment.This design of yours should be the path that thousands of young people in a situation similar to yours should choose.

1. The formula of life consultation Work is the ultimate goal of life.What is the fundamental meaning of life?I do not know either.But I know that if a person does not have a job—whether it is a freelance job, a research position, a government official, or a business management—there will be problems with the basic problems of his life (Mr. Xu, I can only Talk about the basic questions of life. And leave those complicated "fundamental meanings" to philosophers to despair).Work is the ultimate goal of life, but the goal of life needs to be continuously improved and enriched.What I would like to add is that continuous development and continuous improvement of work as the ultimate goal is an important way to realize the value of life.

You may ask: How to continuously improve yourself at work?In work practice, establish a career goal that is worth fighting for your whole life, and then ask yourself eternally, in order to achieve this career goal, what else is missing in my quality structure?What else needs to be added to my educational structure?That is to say, through the methods of continuing education and lifelong education, the ultimate goal of life can be continuously realized and the value of life can be continuously improved.Education, it turned out to be so fascinating. On the premise of establishing the goal, find out the gaps in your ability and means to achieve the goal, and then implement your various educational plans.This is the most simple and practical but the most important basic principle in my consultation.This principle can even be expressed in a formula.

Xu's life consultation formula: S=E+E Here, S is success (success), the first E is education (education), and the second E is experience (experience).The secret of success turned out to be just a balance between education and work experience!If you upgrade your undergraduate degree now, you will turn the second E into education. How can your life not be unbalanced!As for when to study abroad after working in the future, and whether you should study abroad, in fact, it is to measure these two Es. When the first E is less than your second E, the challenge for you, that is, when your educational background When you can't meet your current employment needs, it's not too late to decide to upgrade your undergraduate degree, take a postgraduate entrance examination or even study abroad!

The basic questions of the students who come to me for consultation are related to whether to study or work.I just use the above formula to analyze the ever-changing personal situation, and finally put forward my advice. Listen to me, there is nothing wrong.Because I have a successful formula, which is the axiom of the universe! 2. Planning according to the formula In light of this formula, I would like to say a few words about your life plan. Junior colleges are not for training half-finished undergraduates.A college degree is a passport to the higher vocational market, and it is an absolutely indispensable talent for China as the "world factory" and "world tourism center"—sorry, I added this title to my motherland.

Your line of thinking is a rebellion against the unconscious current of social degrees.This resistance represents the future, means success, is the advanced culture in the college field, and is the best interests of college students. It will definitely give your wallet and parents a smile, and provide the most powerful productivity (production of wallet and happiness)—— Look, the three representatives have been perfectly practiced by you in the field of education!congratulations. Your family, in a poor financial situation, is waiting for you as a son, probably the only child, to share the burden of earning a living for your parents' life's work.As one of the truths of education, the education-employment-centered theory and education-to-make-a-life theory that I preach everywhere get the most simple and loudest response from you.I support you most warmly, hurry up and start working, with your starting salary of 1,000 to 3,000 per month, which will definitely be higher in the future, to provide a strong and happy life for your hard-working parents who are exhausted from their working life. support it!

Such a son is not raised in vain, and such a man is the real Taishan.What is a real man?Accept the challenge of fate, refuse the teasing of fate, reverse the disadvantage of fate, and become the master of fate.That's what real men are. Maybe you will ask: Can’t you become the master of your destiny if you pursue and realize the upgrade of your undergraduate degree?Maybe—but, your destiny includes responsibilities to your parents and family. Fate has made you a college student, so you have to accept the challenge of college students and become an excellent college student, instead of installing a college student. Undergraduate Prosthetics for Handicapped People.

Employment is equivalent to occupying a mountain in life, and you can start planting the olive tree of your life dreams (maybe your father will force you to plant apple trees)... As for your further study plan after work, I have no objection either.I just want to remind you: it is a good thing to go to Switzerland to study or study for an EMBA at Peking University.But don't use work as a stop-gap solution to achieve these goals, DON'T!Instead, regard work as your lifelong goal, and regard education only as a utilitarian and practical means for you to improve your work ability and status. Please remember Xu's life consultation formula: S=E+E.Success lies in the balance of education and work experience.The way of thinking and the blueprint of life developed based on this formula will definitely make your future a success, and the orchard of your parents will be full of fruits.At the same time, your income will turn their orchards into the back gardens of urbanites. It doesn't matter whether you sell them for money or not!Your father was more joyful in cultivating his orchard, and the trees sensed this father's joy and produced more fruit—sorry, I would say bigger. congratulations.But don't be too dark when you get kickbacks as a tour guide in the future!
