Why "the more books you read, the more stupid you become"

In the third quarter, the salary statistics released by various institutions once again attracted the attention of all parties. Of course, the salary report for the city of Beijing came into being.

Recently, data released by relevant institutions show that the average salary in autumn of 20 17 in Beijing is 9900 yuan. Judging from the national salary distribution, the average salary in autumn of 20 17 in Beijing is 9900 yuan.

The average monthly salary of more than 8,000 yuan accounts for 47.4% of the total number of positions, and the average monthly salary of 6,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan accounts for 23.2%. Ranked first in the salary level of 37 major cities.

Related reports even ask readers directly in the title: Are you dragging your feet?

There are also related reports about the average salary of recent graduates.

The "20 17 University Freshmen Competitiveness Report" recently released by a recruitment website shows that the average salary of college graduates nationwide in 20 17 was 5074 yuan, up 14. 1% year-on-year.

If this trend continues, future graduates will also have great prospects.

Of course, the horizontal comparison of salaries between different industries is indispensable.

According to the report on employment trend in 20 12-20 16 recently released by Tongcheng, in the past five years, the average wage of the whole industry has increased from 4,857 yuan in 20 12 to 6,289 yuan in 20 17, in which the wage of the whole industry has increased by 65/kl over the previous year.

Due to the rapid development of transportation service industry, financial industry, real estate industry and service industry, the demand for employment in enterprises has soared, driving the salary of the whole industry to rise.

Special tips for industries with high salaries. The salary of health massage industry exceeds 10 thousand, which has attracted much attention.

The same report shows that in the first-tier cities, Beijing's senior management industry has been at the top of the salary list for nearly five years, maintaining a monthly income level of more than 10,000 yuan.

The second place is the health massage industry, which rose steadily from the average of 8654 yuan in 20 12 years to the high salary in the first half of 20 10 179 yuan.

Well, everyone's salary is rising, and the average salary is so high, I still can't reach it. Maybe many people can't reach it.

But what does this have to do with my usual life?

People who are worried about academic qualifications are actually worried about making money.

In the past two days, an article has become a familiar face in the circle of friends-"Sorry, Mom and Dad can't give you an 800w school district room".

This article is about a pair of parents who quit their jobs and took their children around the world instead of enrolling in 30,000 preschool classes, 80,000 bilingual kindergartens or buying 8 million school districts.

The article discusses whether the 800w school district is important or the rich experience brought by traveling around the world is important. The author seems to be more supportive of traveling around the world, but public opinion is not so firm.

Of course, there are supporters. In addition to some admiring eyes and applause, some people think that this is a disguised form of showing off wealth, which is not only full of young artists' sitcoms, but also vulgar.

There are also some opinions that children will forget all the feelings brought by these experiences in a few years. Such a trip looks beautiful, but it's actually useless.

Some people think that not buying a school district is too grandstanding and will harm children.

What are the anxieties about education and schools among onlookers? Why do people attach so much importance to the signboards of prestigious schools, and what level of schools can children attend? Are they really aiming at lofty slogans such as shaping a better personality?

The truth is, in fact, most people are actually thinking about the salary that a prestigious school can bring to their children after working in the future.

In other words, how much can a child earn by going to a prestigious school? These parents who care about education and schools are actually the same kind of people who care about salary statements.

What is the salary? Is it really that important?

Does it matter how much money you earn? Of course it matters. But is this more important than anything else? Not necessarily.

Before Alipay's group of advertisements, many people were forwarding praises and thought it was their own portrayal. People who think this group of advertisements is too vicious are accused of blx.

But is our life really so miserable? Or, can we really get more happiness only if we earn more?

I think the answer is no.

I also hope that for more people, the answer is no, because if everyone's happiness is linked to pale money, then the world is hopeless.

I carefully read the salary table several times and confirmed that I was holding back the average salary in Beijing. According to the standard line of the recent well-off family, I may be the one who was eliminated five years later.

However, this does not mean that I am poor. In fact, I'm sure that now is probably the most satisfying time for me, and it also makes me believe that my life is beautiful.

I seem to be learning guitar recently. But that doesn't mean I have to buy an extremely expensive guitar to make me feel happy and motivated. On the contrary, an ordinary guitar can also make me enjoy learning musical instruments.

Being unhappy because of lack of money is not necessarily because of poverty, but also because of excessive greed.

There are always people who compare desire to a snake swallowing an elephant, which shows that this impulse is endless forever. However, if you really swallow an adult elephant, the snake will only die in the end.

The same is true of the desire for money and material things. It is important to make money and give yourself a better life, but if you get lost in material desires, you may lose real happiness.

Just as Yan Hui was once praised by Confucius, "One scoop of food and one scoop of drink, in a mean alley, people will be worried if they can't bear it, and they will not change their fun when they go back." Poor diet and simple life have not affected Yan Hui's tireless mood, which shows that happiness is not absolutely equal to luxury and wealth.

I once read an article about a young and promising successful person, a good young man who can be regarded as enterprising and promising now. Because he worked too hard, he got intestinal cancer early.

Of course, there is no direct logical connection between efforts and intestinal cancer, but I have seriously thought about it. If measured by the standard of money, this young man with intestinal cancer may be much happier than me. But in fact, I don't have to be bothered by cancer. At least I feel luckier than him.

Happiness is actually a very simple thing, but people think it is too complicated.

However, although happiness is not equal to economic ability, it is always a good thing to make money ~

I wish myself and everyone can earn more money and improve the quality of life ~ ~
