officialdom

Cao Rui and Su Bo had a good chat. Su Bo asked: "Cao Rui, have you ever thought about finding a suitable time and a stage to show off your talent?"

Cao Rui was stunned for a moment, his thoughts were quite moved, but he did not show it on his face, but said:

"Secretary, I believe that opportunities always exist. I am now working with you to serve and learn. Such opportunities are precious! After I came to work for the municipal party committee, I felt that I made rapid progress, especially that my vision became broader and I could think about problems more than before. It’s also much more thorough.

Secretary, I admire you the most for being so busy and still having time to read. Let me tell you, I haven’t read a single book so far this year. I’m very ashamed! "

Su Bo said: "Then let me teach you a way! You put the book you want to read on the bedside, and no matter how late you go to bed, you force yourself to read for half an hour! If you read for half an hour a day, you can read ten books a month. In a few hours, I can finish reading some unimportant books!”

Su Bo paused and continued: "The biggest difficulty in reading is that it takes time to select. Not every book is suitable for us! If you choose a book for intensive reading, even if you read it in three months, you will actually gain a lot. Quite big…”

Cao Rui said: "Live until you are old and learn until you are old. This sentence is easy to say, but it is very difficult to put it into practice. You must have great perseverance!"

Su Bo said: "Perseverance is just a term. In fact, reading can be addictive, and reading can give us many unexpected benefits! Isn't there a saying that the world is big and people are small. Books make us grow up and make the world change. Xiao. Savor this sentence carefully. When we go to study again, it will be a different feeling..."

Cao Rui carefully tasted Su Bo's words and felt that they were quite rewarding. As an individual, almost everyone will subconsciously look outside when encountering difficulties, failures, or pressure.

We hope to get help and resources from others, God's favor, parents' support, and friends' support. In fact, all these external requests are unreliable.

Relying on people, heaven and ancestors is not as good as relying on oneself, so reading is about seeking within. Long-term reading is about spiritual self-breakthrough and innovation, so that you have more knowledge, a more transcendent understanding, and a more transparent vision than others.

A person's temperament is also improved because of reading. The beauty of this is not something that only readers can understand.

Su Bo's spiritual realm is extremely high, and many of the insights Cao Rui gained came from Su Bo.

A man's maturity is often shown in the fact that they don't trust their backers, relatives, bosses, experts, or public knowledge. They only believe in their own understanding and judgment, and then make bold guesses and carefully seek verification.

Su Bo also talked about an interesting concept, that is, he once inspected Wude No. 1 Middle School. During the inspection, he said something:

"The most miserable person in the world is a scholar!"

At that time, the principal of Wude No. 1 Middle School was flattering and said that the secretary was right. Today's students are really working hard. They get up early and stay late every day, with no rest time! In comparison, their generation did not have such a hard time going to school. Then he said that the current education ecology is like this. If third- and fourth-tier cities like Wude do not focus on exam-oriented education, it will be impossible for these children to go out and even go outside. You can’t even get tickets to see the world.

Su Bo just smiled after hearing these words. When he came back, he asked Cao Rui this question and asked him why he said that the most miserable people in the world are scholars.

Cao Rui summarized the principal's words again. Su Bo shook his head and said:

"It's not just that! Physical toil is not suffering. We get up early every day and work hard every day. Many of us in reality are suffering more than them! The suffering of scholars is that among ten scholars, more than 90% will not be able to understand the book in their lifetime. !

Studying is not about going to college. Even if you go to a key prestigious university, you may just be mediocre for the rest of your life. If you can live an ordinary life, you are considered a successful scholar! Perhaps only half of the scholars can live a normal life.

What's more, most of these people still haven't read the book clearly. Is this painful? A famous college student may not be able to understand or comprehend the things we are talking about, but they have been studying for more than ten years or even decades..."

Su Bo's words shocked Cao Rui, and the question that Cao Rui had been thinking about for a long time seemed to find the answer all at once.

This world has never been fair, and people are divided into three, six, and nine levels. In ancient times, the three, six, and nine levels may have been due to other reasons, but now, Cao Rui thought that the root cause of the three, six, and nine levels might be here.

The gap between classes is not a simple difference in IQ and EQ, but something at the level of thinking and cognition. The world in the eyes of people at the bottom, except for the area around them that is as big as a palm, everything else is made up by their own brains. .

When people talk about officials, they gnash their teeth at "corrupt officials." When people talk about businessmen and entrepreneurs, they also gnash their teeth at "profiteers." What they think about is that the officialdom is in dire straits, a smoky atmosphere, and all officials are corrupt. They think of business people as cutting corners, exploiting and oppressing, ruthless, and so on.

Not only did they think so, but they also passed on what they thought to others, and the people around him didn't know what was going on. Then under the herd effect, everyone seemed to have a unified understanding.

It is hard to imagine that the younger generations who grew up in this kind of cognitive environment can break through these things and truly understand what kind of climbing and efforts this society and this world require.

Su Bo's concept is actually a narrow road, and this road is reading. And studying is the most difficult thing in the world, because school teachers will never tell you these things, and schools will never teach you how to deal with people, how to make money, or how to seek inwardness.

Some people may say that if the teacher doesn’t teach, you can find someone to teach you. However, people who can truly understand the truth will never talk about these things. No one can be a good teacher except the flesh and blood of their closest relatives.

Also, even if you can meet noble people and have others give you advice, you may not be able to understand what others say. Just like what Su Bo said, ten people will have ten different interpretations of it. How easy is it to truly understand its connotation?

Cao Rui and Su Bo went to talk about studying and downplayed the "stage" thing for now. Does he want to go and do a career? There’s no need to talk about it, I’ll definitely think about it.

But there are many conditions required to go down, and the problem cannot be solved in one sentence.

In addition, Su Bo's mention of this topic may not only be his true thoughts, but also a test. The subtleties are not simple. Cao Rui must not be impatient, let alone rash.
