Chapter 8: The Saddest Thing in the World

What's the point of studying? A question was thrown out.

The playground fell silent.

Hundreds of high school juniors fell silent, confused about the future.

From birth to the present, most students have never thought of why they want to study, they just enroll in school under the arrangement of their parents, go to elementary and junior high school with the general trend, and then try to be admitted to high school.

Objective?

Most of them are just to 'fight' and make their parents proud.

Very few people are genuinely interested in learning, and it is in the nature of children to like to play, even adults.

Learning just because there's no way.

If you spend time, money, and energy to study, and there is no use after hard work, then what is the point of studying?

Some teachers were silent.

Compared with students who have not yet entered the society, they have already entered the work and are more deeply touched by the examples in Zhao Yi's words.

Most of those who are richer than them now are not as educated as them.

That's the reality.

So what's the point of working hard?

Some people are in a hurry.

Li Lisheng, the director of the third year of high school, sweated anxiously, "What's the matter with this speech? How can the third year of high school conference talk about this!"

He yelled several times.

Later, he simply bent down and moved next to Teacher Sun, "Teacher Sun, how can this student in your class say this?

Teacher Sun glanced at the stage and found that Zhao Yi looked calm, gritted his teeth and said coldly, "The speech is not over yet!

The other teachers also looked at it.

Parents have a lot of opinions, they think it is interesting for the students on the stage to be funny, but the third grade conference is for inspiration, and it is definitely not appropriate to talk about these shocks to learning confidence.

Zhao Yi stopped after throwing out the question, gave the students and parents in the audience time to think and digest, and then picked up the microphone and said loudly with emotion, "Everyone has a different understanding of studying, and in my understanding, when it is disproved by reality, it is the saddest thing to think that studying is meaningless." My speech is called 'The Saddest Thing'. ”

"What is the saddest thing for us, the third-year high school students? The saddest thing is that even you believe that college is useless!"

"There are many examples of success without going to college. Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, and Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, are all elite dropouts, that is, college dropouts to become successful. But only if they've been accepted to Harvard!"

"They are just one of the many successful people, and they are not role models who can succeed without a degree. ”

"Don't limit your vision to individual cases, look at the whole, look at the whole world, the whole society, in actual life, colleges and universities recruit doctors to take the exam, top primary and secondary school teachers recruitment, to first-class and efficient graduation to be eligible to participate, enterprise management posts to bachelor's degree or above......"

"Without a degree, you can't pass through the comfortable position and satisfactory salary you want, although it is only separated by a layer of glass. ”

"Indeed, academic qualifications may not represent success, but they are the most reliable stepping stone to success!"

Zhao Yi's tone became flat, "In fact, knowledge cannot be linked to wealth, knowledge is knowledge, wealth is wealth, reality is a money society, but the value of knowledge is far more than knowledge itself." ”

"Knowledge can bring you a change in temperament, a change in your worldview, a change in your interests and hobbies, and a change in your thinking about life, society, life and other aspects. ”

"That's why we say that studying is always the most valuable investment!"

"Now, you think that the role of academic qualifications is just to find a job?

Zhao Yi's voice was sonorous and powerful, "The experience of going to college for a few years is far more important to your life than that academic degree!"

"Go to college, go to a good university!"

Zhao Yi waved his hand and shouted a slogan, his voice was sonorous and powerful, "If you can take the Shuimu test, you won't go to Zhengda, and if you can take one book, you won't go to the second book." Do your best to get into the school you can!"

"That's what we juniors are supposed to do!"

"If you do this, you will not regret your failure, and if you don't, regret will accompany you for the rest of your life!"

"The saddest thing in the world is not how many difficulties and obstacles are encountered in the process of life, but at an age when you can change your life, you choose to live comfortably and spend the most precious years in vain!"

Zhao Yi finished the last sentence of the summary in the most sincere tone.

The playground was silent.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the figure of the sonorous and sincere speech under the national flag.

He's very sincere.

He is full of self-confidence.

His speech was striking!

Under the attention of everyone, Zhao Yi bowed very formally, the solemnity on his face dissipated, the corners of his mouth pursed again, and added, "This is my speech, the saddest thing in the world, thank you!"

After speaking, he walked off the stage quickly.

"Whoa~~~"

The audience erupted in fierce applause, and every student, parent and teacher was applauding with all their might, and the applause lasted for a long time.

Some students shouted Zhao Yi's name, "Zhao Yi, that's good!"

"You represent us, we are all midstream students!"

"We're all bad students!"

Zhao Yi had just returned to the queue of the third shift, and when he heard the last sentence, he stumbled and almost fell down.

Everyone's attention was still following Zhao Yi until he walked into the third class and was surrounded by other students.

The teachers in the front row looked at each other and nodded.

Teacher Sun was full of excitement, looking left and right at the corners of his mouth, as if proudly saying, "See, this is a student in my third class!"

Principal Wang was sitting precariously with a smile on his face, and turned his head to ask Li Lisheng on the side, "What is that student's name?"

"Zhao ......"

Li Lisheng was stuck.

There are eight classes in the third year of high school, with nearly 400 students, Zhao Yi's grades are not outstanding, and he is not the kind of student who is naughty and mischievous, he doesn't know the name at all.

Principal Wang pouted dissatisfied, "I don't even know the name of a student." ”

Li Lisheng wanted to cry a little.

Parents are discussing with each other, some of them are still clapping their hands, and they are talking curiously, "This child is from the third class?

"I know, Zhao Zhenxi's son!"

"Zhao Zhenxi, the one from the garment factory? Wenwen is weak, his son can!"

"It's Liu Jing! I always run into grocery shopping!"

“......”

Zhao Yi has returned to the third class queue and has been warmly welcomed by his classmates.

A crowd surrounded him.

Others looked at them with adoration.

Lin Xiaoqing, who was standing at the front, also stared at him, but there was no worship in his eyes, but anger mixed with surprise.

Her hands were clenched tightly.

The manuscript in his hand was grasped and deformed.

Lin Xiaoqing pursed her lips vigorously for a long time, and suddenly a fierce light appeared in her eyes, and she tore the manuscript to pieces with both hands.

And then.

She took Zhao Yi's share and walked on stage.
