Why did you lose your job right after graduation?

A beautiful English song, you must listen to it.

A few days ago, the marketing course of the new world has exploded everyone's circle of friends. That morning, I just woke up and opened WeChat, and I received a message from a reader the first time:

Zeng Shao, Zeng Shao, I signed up for this course. I hope you can support me, too After you attend, I will get the corresponding commission! Of course, the commission is not what I want, I just want to learn.

I subconsciously opened his circle of friends, and I was dazzled by various courses, such as time management, mobile phone photography, open-book community, cognitive upgrade and so on.

I replied to him very reluctantly: You have taken so many classes, have you really studied?

He didn't reply to me. Maybe I hit a nerve.

Many times, the reason why we enroll in so many courses is not because we are eager for knowledge, but because in the rapidly developing Internet era, we are becoming one traffic after another. In this process, what we really need to care about is constantly diluted.

Our generation is lucky, because we have caught up with the rapid expansion of enrollment in China University, and as long as our grades are basically satisfactory, we can go to university for further study. But we are unfortunate, because although everyone is equal and everyone wears jeans and white shirts, when it comes to enjoying educational resources and conditions, students of 985 and 2 1 1 are naturally far from students of two or three books.

China's educational resources have been inclined to 985 and 2 1 1. Although you are all "college students", the qualifications of the professors, the cultural quality of the students around you and the overall atmosphere of the school are not at the starting line at all, which has caused such an embarrassing situation:

A large number of two books and three books are becoming the flow of top schools, and any good educational resources are moving closer to top schools; Non-famous majors in many universities are also becoming the trend of famous majors in schools. If there are any good educational resources, they will be close to the majors of famous schools.

So many students complained to me that they had no choice but to study in an unknown major in two ordinary schools because they failed in the college entrance examination. Every day the school looks magnificent, but there is no academic atmosphere at all. Not to mention the teaching quality and attitude of the professor.

I told him, is this abnormal? Your school is the traffic of top schools, and your major is the traffic of famous brands. Boredom and emptiness are normal things.

Of course, in the face of this situation, the possibility that we can change is actually very small, but these are not the most terrible. The terrible thing is that you are in a terrible school, and you know nothing about your present situation. You think you are a favored son of heaven, and you can find a job after graduation, so you don't need anything, just get a 60-point test, and it doesn't matter if you don't practice or get a scholarship.

What you don't know is that you are becoming a traffic in the chess game of the Internet, and the ultimate goal of people hiding behind the Internet is to turn you into a basket case.

A very important indicator to measure the valuation of a software is how many active users it has every month. If the number of active users is higher, it means that the more popular the software is, the more likely it is to bring transformation value to the company, and the more likely it is for the company's revenue to rise.

So you will see that most of the things that the operators behind most software do are not to let every user get the knowledge he deserves, let alone to save the fate of mankind. What they ponder most is how to steal the user's attention to the greatest extent.

Compared with reading the official WeChat account of Changwen, users prefer to browse short and fast videos, which is also the reason why Tik Tok, a short video software, can suddenly emerge.

When I went home for the New Year, I was fascinated by Tik Tok myself. When I first started playing, I always said to myself: just play for half an hour, just play for half an hour, and then I'll go to bed.

But in fact, once you start to indulge in it, you will find yourself getting deeper and deeper. Tik Tok will automatically recommend the video you want to watch according to your browsing history, search history and praise history. For example, I like watching videos of cats. The more I want to sleep, the more it will continue to recommend videos of cats to me, leading to this result:

The video recommended to me, no matter how happy and excited I am, will only keep me away from what I should do: sleep.

The more you rely on a software, the more you put into it, the deeper it knows about you, the more it will show what you like, what you don't like and what you don't like, and it will hide it all.

The end result is that the active user data of the software is getting better and better, but the user's attention is completely consumed, and the things to be done are consumed in delays and lags.

Did you wait until after graduation to find yourself hollowed out by the game? Did you wait until you left school to find that you didn't finish what you should have done?

You have time to play games, brush Weibo, visit Taobao, and go out to get drunk in the middle of the night, but you don't have time to settle down and study and practice. You know nothing about the future and career, but you can know many scandals of various traffic stars. You don't care about yourself every day, but you always contribute your precious traffic to the Internet!

If you are not unemployed, who is unemployed? Are they students from some top schools? If you are not unemployed, who is unemployed? Are they famous brand students? If you are not unemployed, who is unemployed? Are they students who insist on self-discipline learning practice from the beginning of their freshman year?

It's a little heavy, please understand, because I've fallen into this pit myself before.

When I was in college, the most common thing I did every day was to visit various portals with broken mobile phones, from 3G to Sina, from Sina to Phoenix, and from Phoenix to Sohu. I looked around because I was so bored that I could only kill time in this way. Whenever I think back to what I did at that time, I really want to slap myself, because I have not only become someone else's traffic.

When we are in the wave of Internet, what should we do to prevent our attention from being stolen?

1, break up, don't need so much notice.

In order to steal your attention resources, major software will use various means, and notification is one of them.

Notice is the starting point of distraction and the fuse of indulgence and obsession. Frequent information notification allows you to switch between major software in turn, which not only reduces your concentration, but also makes you unconsciously forget the reason for picking up your mobile phone during the process of brushing your mobile phone.

The best way to solve this problem is to turn off the notification function of all software. Many people actually dare not do this because they are afraid of missing some important information, but you should know that if a person really wants to find you in a hurry, WeChat will definitely find you in other ways if it doesn't get a reply.

Now that all the notices have been turned off, I suddenly feel a lot quieter.

I will reply to messages on WeChat, WeChat official account and Zhihu at fixed times, which not only greatly improves my work efficiency, but also won't be disturbed by messages.

You can also try.

2. Track the time you use your mobile phone and computer.

People are self-aware, but to be self-aware, you must first know how much time your mobile phone and computer take up, so that you can realize their influence on your life.

If you want to record how much time you spend on your mobile phone, you can download a software called Moment. After downloading, Zeng Shaocai discovered that the mobile phone is really a huge black hole that devours time. If you want to record the use time of the computer, you can try the software rescuetime.

This is probably when I use my mobile phone less every day.

This is the approximate time to use the computer every month.

Only with consciousness can we change, and without consciousness can we only continue to drift away.

3. Always keep a sense of crisis.

A university is not so much an ivory tower as a cocoon house. Once you enter this cocoon house, you open the so-called "frog in the well". You think you see the whole world. You think you need to compete after graduation, and you are nothing more than classmates with the same major.

But in fact, before you graduate, not only your classmates in the same major began to crush you, but also the outstanding students in the top schools suffered the blow of dimensionality reduction. Do you think you can find a good job if you don't always stay awake and have a sense of crisis of being caught at any time?

Alert yourself, not only to remind yourself of the purpose of going to college, but also to make yourself responsible for yourself and not be carried away by the mainstream.

Independent thinking and deep learning are two things that deserve your energy and time.

Because its investment cycle is long, but the rate of return is quite rich.

I hope it works for you!
