On the subway back yesterday, my brother from Kenya talked with me about his four waste recycling companies in Africa. There were others around me, so I naturally took a few errands with ease. When I wandered away, I was thinking that how many people's nods, permits and years of ups and downs are needed to make a person so proud of his dream, and I haven't lost such courage. I think this kind of youth also exists in China. When I was young, there were young people in my family who said they were painters but couldn't become talents. My grandfather gave them some bean bags and sent them away. When I grow up a little, I can always meet many young people with ideals. However, on many occasions, "ideal" and "childish" and "not sophisticated" have become indistinguishable synonyms. Many young people with ideals can't and dare not say in this society. They expect a warm reply, but they encounter cold walls and cold water everywhere. Over time, they have to hold a fire tightly in their hearts, hoping that one day when the oxygen is cut off in the darkness, the flame will be extinguished. Many young people begin to belittle themselves. For example, the British people are familiar with the philosophy of life "laugh at yourself before others have a chance to do so". People begin to call themselves "losers" and "fart people", reflecting a very cruel social situation: such self belittlement often comes from self-protection. Young people think: in a society where nothing can be achieved and there is no way out, Let me belittle myself first: so that others have no room to belittle myself. When I saw British Youth Exchange ideals with each other, I saw Chinese Youth Exchange ridicules with each other, as if they were self mocking and destroying their self-confidence first. It is the only effective self-protection mechanism in this society: They thought, if I degrade myself to the point where I can't be any lower, your ridicule can't hurt me. This is practical and terrible self-confidence. We educated people want to see a generation of young people who look up and have dreams in their hearts when they go out. To some extent, even a corner of these dreams has been realized. And this premise is that we need to learn not to laugh at these people with dreams. If their ideas seem absurd, the society will give them suggestions and reasons for correction. If their ideas seem feasible but far away, the society will give them encouragement and recognition. If their ideas seem feasible, the society will give them resources and channels. I have never seen any great person who gives cold water to fellow travelers with dreams every day. Some people are afraid of enterprising young people because they are afraid that there is another possibility in life. They are afraid of those who blame society and system for everything, and those who rely on their own efforts. They are afraid of these hard-working people, because their stories hit them in the face and told them: Oh, if I had tried hard, I might have succeeded, so in the end, I can't afford a house. In fact, it's not all the fault of the system. This is a view that many people can't accept at all. This is a terrible reality: it turns out that I have my own responsibility for my failure. In this case, the more reliable way is to worship authority. When your value cannot be compared with that of others, you can downscale / belittle the success of the people around you through a few successes, so as to protect your self-esteem and self-worth. The usual strategy is: "You call it success? Is it as successful as Ma Yun?" "You have four waste recycling companies, but how many years can you persist? Once the national policy changes, you still have nothing." And they don't care about Ma Yun's success. They persuade themselves that it is a very small probability, which is not enough to threaten my identity and self-esteem. People's protection of their mental health is a very instinctive reaction. However, after this reaction is intensified and deformed, it is more and more harmful to the long-term core competitiveness of a society. This is a society of pouring cold water, a society of pouring gasoline to help people set themselves on fire, and a society that depends on who climbs up and who will tear down the ladder. What's more, I think it will evolve into a society that doesn't allow people to climb ladders in the long run. Imagine what kind of cold reception a young man who wants to open four waste recycling companies in Africa will encounter in an ordinary university in China? Maybe his roommate will say to him, "go back and play dota. What's the force?". This is the dialogue I fear most. Many people come to Cambridge and see the beautiful scenery and legends here. They don't see that this is a city that respects views. The most beautiful place in this city is that an undergraduate can knock on the professor's door on a very ordinary afternoon: "Professor, are you free? I think Einstein may be wrong". The professor will sit down patiently with him, listen to what he wants to say one by one, and then walk side by side to the library to exchange views with each other. One hundred years ago in Cambridge, the undergraduate named Wittgenstein knocked on Russell's door with this idea. That is a "loser" and "wonderful" young man according to the current words: he is full of great strange ideas and is willing to put these dangerous strange ideas into practice. Looking back, we are glad that mankind has such a small town and school, which has taken him in and changed the thinking line of human self inner exploration for a century. Everymagnificent achievement in human history started with an idea heard, shared andcongratulated. During my years in Cambridge, I have heard many strange views. While eating in Trinity, I met students who thought pensions were Ponzi scheme, and on the train, I met a 20-year-old young man who opened four companies in Africa. I may not have enough talent and ambition to understand what I hear, but I have become a listener, and I am just a listener in the eyes of history. But on the other side of my desk, there is always a serious thinker. I heard history say to me that all serious thinkers deserve respect. So I listen patiently. In history, if I understand, I encourage. If I think it is not feasible, I suggest or analyze and persuade. (www.lz13. CN) if I can't say anything, I will be speechless. I think when I die, my epitaph will say: "Here lies a very ordinary person, but in his life, he has never given a cold wall and a cold water to a person who thinks seriously. Although he was mediocre, he was lucky to listen to many of the most beautiful and greatest ideas in the human mind, and gave them confidence. In his mediocre life, the only highlight was that on every dark night, he opened the door and sent a few pieces of bread and a pot of hot water to everyone passing by with a torch. He was very foolish, but he didn't let these views he didn't understand die in his indifference and ridicule before he started.
