Chapter Twenty-Three: The Unnecessary Factor
"Oh...... That's amazing, this amount. Qin Yi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he looked at the bowl in front of him that was about the size of the basin, Zhang Feng put aside a pair of chopsticks and said, "The portion of this seafood noodle is very famous, this is just a small portion, and the large portion is enough for a family to eat." You see, that's the big portion. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Feng pointed to a table behind him, and the bowl on the table was the real basin.
"Is that so? Then let's eat it. Qin Yi said with a smile, eating noodles with Zhang Feng, after a pause, he asked, "Why don't you want to go home?"
"I can't talk about it......" Zhang Feng said absent-mindedly, "You can't control it." ”
Qin Yi raised his eyebrows, lazily held his chin and smiled: "Actually, if you don't say it, I also know what is going on, your parents should be working-class and their education should not be too high, right?"
Zhang Feng muttered something, but didn't answer, but Qin Yi obviously said it.
"You see, parents tend to project their own shadows on their offspring, and they themselves are not highly educated, so they don't get a good job and can't live a good life, so they will naturally project this situation on their children and tell them that if you don't study well, you won't be able to do well. Qin Yi said with a smile as he ate his face.
Zhang Feng lowered his head and ate noodles, unable to see the expression on his face clearly, so Qin Yi continued: "As for the teachers, they will always say this, telling you that if you don't study hard, you will be the dregs of society or something. But you know what?"
Qin Yi knocked on the table with a smile: "Even they actually know that even if you study well, it doesn't mean that you will be able to live well in the future." They should have had this kind of experience themselves, and their classmates who were not as good at school as they were had already mixed up in various enterprises, and their lives were much more nourishing than theirs. ”
Zhang Feng said indignantly: "That's right! Why do they say such things!"
Qin Yi stared at Zhang Feng for a while, then continued: "But one thing you have to understand is that your life is fought for by yourself, and if you don't do anything and just wait, the life you want will not come. ”
Zhang Feng was stunned, then suddenly sighed a little dejectedly, and continued to eat noodles with his head down.
"Yes, our education or what we do doesn't directly determine our future quality of life, but you spend too much time on anger. I know you've been denied and told you can't do anything, which makes you feel very angry, but you're dominated by anger and can't see the path you want to take, and you'll end up being who they say you are. ”
Zhang Feng stopped his chopsticks, gritted his teeth and said: "No, I won't, I must become a better person, and then stand in front of them and tell them that they were wrong back then!
"Hmm...... How to say it. Qin Yi smiled slightly bitterly, "So you were blinded by anger and became extreme." It's true that you don't have to study to be productive, but that doesn't mean that knowledge is useless, do you know what I mean? You just resist because others say that if you don't study, you won't be productive, so you exclude learning. ”
"As a result, does the teacher want me to study like everyone else?" asked Zhang Feng angrily.
"No, no, no, I don't care about your grades, but knowledge and experience are always useful. Qin Yi smiled, "If you want to become a cartoonist, and your comics involve biological content, and if you don't know some basic biological knowledge, then your works are naturally not as good as those cartoonists who understand, do you understand what I mean?"
Zhang Feng stared at the seafood noodles in front of him and groaned, thoughtful.
"You see, I don't need you to get any good grades in school, but no matter what you want to do in the future, you need a certain amount of knowledge and experience to support it. Qin Yi explained with a smile, "It's like I said comics, or if you want to be a screenwriter, you still need to know some basic theories." If you know what you want to do, you can just absorb the relevant knowledge, and I don't care how much you score on the exam. ”
After a pause, Qin Yi asked again, "Do you have anything you want to do in the future?"
Zhang Feng looked at Qin Yi, and then scratched his face a little embarrassed: "I'...... In the past, I just wanted to go out on my own in the future, work everywhere to save some money and then start a business. ”
"Well, it's not impossible, but you know it's a hard road, you're going to have many, many failures, and the humiliation you're going to suffer is probably much heavier than you are now. Qin Yi frowned and pondered, "You know, I not only want to help you find what you want to do, but also let you understand the risks of this path. ”
"Hmm...... That's what I thought before, but I didn't really have a specific plan or goal. Zhang Feng scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "But for now...... I want to be like the teacher and be able to help people like me in the future......"
"But it's not so easy to do," Qin Yi said with a smile, "Do you know that the teacher has two PhDs in psychology at Stanford University?
"Like...... It's a great foreign school. Zhang Feng looked at the noodles in the bowl in distress and said.
"Yes, if you want to be like the teacher, you must at least go to a school with a good psychology major. Qin Yi smiled and asked, "How is it? Are you sure that this is what you want to do? The good news is that it is not too late for you to start working towards this goal now, and you may be able to 'go out of the mountain' earlier than the teacher." ”
Zhang Feng picked up the noodles in the bowl and pondered, obviously not making up his mind yet, Qin Yi said with a smile: "You don't need to decide immediately, anyway, you are still young and still have time." People are such creatures, they don't know their preciousness if they haven't wasted time, they won't mature if they haven't failed, even if the teacher tells you today, you still have to experience it yourself tomorrow to understand. ”
"I ......" Zhang Feng hesitated, and Qin Yi continued: "So there is no need to decide now, you see, sometimes 'what you want to do' and 'what you are good at doing' are not necessarily the same. Your talents haven't been tapped yet, and it's not too late to wait until the teacher discovers your talent before making a decision. But now what are we going to do, you know?"
Zhang Feng shook his head, and Qin Yi continued: "What we have to do now is to calm our anger, look at the world with a normal heart, and face your parents. Your parents don't understand, but they don't want you to make the same mistakes they made. And even if others deny you, you don't have to hate them, hating them won't help you in any way. You just have to remember the moment they looked down on you and wait to impress them. Got it?"
Zhang Feng nodded, and Qin Yi teased: "Be kind to your family and classmates, and go make a few friends." No matter what profession you do, friends are necessary. ”
