No education doesn't mean no learning.

There is no direct ratio between education and study. Education is not necessarily learned, and high education is not necessarily learned. No education is not necessarily unlearned, and low education is not necessarily low knowledge. In other words, education and learning cannot be simply compared. The education level can only reflect the education level, and there are also differences in knowledge among people with the same education level. Similarly, human knowledge should be accumulated and improved in social practice. Only in social practice can people accumulate work experience and improve their knowledge level. The real ability is learning. Knowledge includes professional accomplishment and practical comprehension, which are indispensable.

Mr. Chen Yinque has traveled to famous universities in Europe. He learned knowledge and left, but he didn't get a degree. Liang Qichao once recommended Chen Yinque to Cao Yunxiang, president of Tsinghua University. President Cao thinks that if the other party doesn't have any famous works and a doctorate, how can people believe it? Mr. Liang said angrily, "Without academic titles and books, you can't be a professor of Chinese studies." Liang Qichao is a writer, but my works are not as valuable as Mr. Chen's 300 words. "There is only one Chen Yinque, the' Four Great Mentors' of Tsinghua Sinology Research Institute.

What is the education of Liang Shuming, a famous thinker? According to current standards, he is only equivalent to graduating from high school, but this does not prevent him from becoming a philosophy professor at Peking University at the age of 24. What is the education of Mr. Qi Gong, a master of Chinese studies and calligraphy? According to his own words, "middle school students, associate professors, are unprofessional and have poor skills", but this does not prevent him from becoming a master of Chinese studies and a master of Chinese studies. What is the educational background of the famous mathematician Hua? After graduating from junior high school, he made impressive achievements.

Gorky did not go to college, diligently taught himself cultural knowledge, and actively participated in revolutionary activities, making his way to the literary world. He wrote many immortal works such as My University and became the founder of socialist realistic literature. Gao Yubao didn't go to school, but his autobiographical novel Gao Yubao became a well-known masterpiece and a famous military writer. Xu Zhenchao, a bridge crane driver in Qingdao Port, has only a junior high school diploma. He studied hard and set the world container handling record twice in one year, so he was called "Xu Danei". There are many people who teach themselves through social practice, have no formal academic education, have real talents and practical learning, and have good abilities.

Is education really useless? This is undoubtedly a controversial topic. Since Akio Morita, the founder of Sony, published "On Useless Academic Qualifications", there have been endless doubts. These doubts are actually more because people have different views on the ability represented by academic qualifications. Akio Morita's point of view is that education does not mean that your actual working ability can meet the requirements of enterprises. If you evaluate a person's working ability completely according to his academic qualifications, it is inevitable to put the cart before the horse. Wei Jie, a famous economist and professor at Tsinghua University Institute of Economics and Management, said: "Akio Morita revealed an important principle: the function of education cannot be expanded indefinitely, and talents have a great influence on people. Enterprises should pay more attention to practical ability than academic qualifications."

Must be highly educated to be an official?

It is difficult to define the relationship between education and ability, because many people with high education have extremely average ability, which is a typical high score and low energy; And some people with strong ability, education is not very high. Originally, education and ability, diploma and level have a corresponding relationship, but it is definitely not the absolute correspondence of "a rising tide lifts all boats". It is necessary to make specific analysis and test and measure a person's ability and level in practice.

On the one hand, we advocate "heroes don't ask the source", on the other hand, we criticize some successful people for their low academic qualifications, which is really a contradictory paradox.

Zhang Ping, director of the National Development and Reform Commission who took office in March 2008, has a technical secondary school education. Zhang Ping's technical secondary school education has unexpectedly become a hot topic among the public and the media in the resumes of the heads of various departments in the State Council released at the first session of the 11th National People's Congress. At that time, the media commented that "a paper with secondary school education showed irreplaceable gold content;" A paper secondary school degree, how many' power diplomas' shame! " In fact, Zhang Ping's secondary school education does not mean that he is at the secondary school level, but his work experience and achievements are the best proof.

In 2009, Jiang Hongkun, the former mayor of Nanjing, was promoted and appointed as member of the Standing Committee of jiangsu provincial party committee and secretary of the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee. According to public information, Jiang Hongkun,1was born in June 1954, Han nationality, and was born in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu. College degree. I worked as an educated youth and a worker, and worked in Zhangjiagang for 28 years, with rich experience in grassroots work. Wang Guosheng, deputy secretary of jiangsu provincial party committee and organization minister, commented on Jiang Hongkun's "firm politics, resolute implementation of the party's line, principles and policies, familiarity with economic work, familiarity with Suzhou, strong dedication and rich leadership experience." Wang Guosheng said that Jiang Hongkun's appointment as secretary of the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee was decided by the provincial party committee after careful study.

As an official above the CPC, Jiang Hongkun still holds a junior college diploma, which is really valuable in today's impetuous and unspoken rules prevailing era. Looking around, it can be said that it stands out among officials, especially senior officials.

For these two "low-educated" senior officials, they dare to show their "natural diplomas", which is the best interpretation of their official conduct. It seems that "being an official is not about how high your academic qualifications are, but whether you can really seek happiness for the people." "Serving the people" can't be empty talk.

Ability is more important than education.

If you have a good education, you should make full use of it in a down-to-earth manner. If you don't have a college degree, don't be discouraged. Although a high degree of education contributes to the success of your career, many successes in life are not completely equivalent to a high degree of education. Don't think that you will succeed if you have rich book knowledge. Not to mention "no formal education" as an excuse, never feel inferior in front of highly educated people. There are too many examples to prove, even if you didn't go to college or even middle school. As long as you aim at the target and work hard, you can do any work well.

Real ability comes from society, and real level is proved by practice.

Firth, the father of chocolate? Berry hardly went to school, but with his flexible mind, honest wisdom, diligence, persistence and perseverance, his assets of King George Chocolate Company reached 9.8 billion US dollars, ranking first in the world in the same industry.

In 2003, the company will land in China and receive more than 400 letters of recommendation, most of which are newly graduated college students. They asked to work in China Company. Firth? Barry was very happy, but after reading these resumes, he hesitated. Because nearly 80% of these college students are high flyers with excellent grades, and 70% have been student cadres. The comments are also perfect. He doesn't doubt the authenticity of these letters of recommendation. But these alone can't decide who is suitable to enter the company. We have to test something else. So more than 400 questionnaires were sent out.

Question: In the simplest terms, what are these four celebrities talking about?

1. Einstein said in his speech on the 0/00th anniversary of his alma mater/kloc-0: "My academic performance is average. According to the school standards, I am not a good student. But then I found out that forgetting what was in school was the rest. "

2. When Ding Zhaozhong returned to Tsinghua University to give a speech, he had a sentence when answering a question. "As far as I know, among the more than 90 physicists who won the Nobel Prize, no one often takes the first place in school, but several often take the last place."

3.bill? Gates returned to his alma mater, Harvard University, to participate in fund-raising activities. Someone asked him if he would like to continue his studies. When he got the Harvard diploma, he shook his head and smiled and didn't answer.

4. US President Bush returned to Yale University to receive an honorary doctorate in law. Ask him how he feels, because his grades are average. He said, for those students with excellent grades, I said "well done", and for those students with poor grades, I said "you can be president".

Soon, all the answers were sent back. On March 2003 10, a student was told to go to Beijing to attend the opening ceremony of the company. His answer is: there are advantages and disadvantages inside the school, but not outside the school gate. Society always disrupts and rearranges everything at the school gate.

Good grades in school do not mean that you have strong working ability and creativity after entering the society. In the workplace, the most important thing is not academic qualifications, but practical ability.

Education and ability complement each other.

Education is a sign of a person's education level, which reflects a person's learning ability and knowledge structure, as well as his own quality and high potential. The lack of academic qualifications may affect the acquisition of opportunities in the job search process, and the display of ability needs time and opportunity to prove; Lack of ability can only show that the competitiveness of the workplace is relatively weak, but as long as you have a correct employment concept and a good job-hunting mentality, you can also get employment in the labor market first, and then make more efforts to make up for it in the professional field. Through their own efforts, constantly improve their academic qualifications and abilities, and further improve their competitiveness in the workplace.

Education is a sufficient condition for ability, and ability is a necessary and sufficient condition for education. Without proper education, your ability is not easy to be discovered by others. Without enough ability and corresponding work experience, it is inevitable to be eliminated by society with a higher education. Your educational background often determines your career choice, and your work experience and professional ability cultivated in your work determine the content and height of your next job. If you have both education and ability, you will be more handy in the workplace.

According to Xinhua News Agency (2065438+0/KLOC-0) reported on April 3, Zhou Senfeng, who graduated from Tongji University with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree from Tsinghua University, became the deputy secretary and mayor of Yicheng Municipal Committee of Hubei Province in June 2009 at the age of 29. As soon as the "youngest mayor" took office, it aroused public doubts, and people generally suspected that Zhou Senfeng had a "background". In fact, his parents are both rural and have no special family background. Of course, it is no accident that Zhou Senfeng stands out. This is the result of his youth, high education, grassroots exercise and opportunities.

Of course, we emphasize that the selection of candidates should not be based on academic qualifications. This is not to deny the role of academic education, nor to belittle the power of knowledge. Society needs all kinds of talents, including knowledge-based and research-oriented, entrepreneurial and skilled. There are many ways to grow talents, not just academic education. Studying hard at a cold window and further study in colleges and universities can make you; Self-study and extensive reading can make you successful; Based on the post and studying business, you can also become a talent. The types of talents are different, and the ways to become talents are different. Naturally, the standard for measuring talents cannot be single.

General Secretary Hu Jintao emphasized: "We should be eclectic, recruit talents, get rid of the concept of seniority and Excellence, and discover, train, train, use and achieve talents in practice."

Education is a stepping stone that can make you "stand out"; Ability is the touchstone, which can make you "stand out". Both are important. If you haven't met Bole, your education is very important; Otherwise ability is more important. Bole Xiangma mainly depends on whether a horse can run thousands of miles, not on its origin. It is gratifying that some employers have become more pragmatic in recruiting talents, and the criteria for selecting talents are changing from "education" to "ability". After all, a thousand miles out, talent out. Creating achievements mainly depends not on the academic qualifications before taking office, but on the practical experience and creative efforts after taking office.
