本题讨论选择专业的参考因素。可以考虑教育应当如何培养学生的问题,除了以后的工作以外,教育应当提供给学生什么样的价值观和理念。而且对于“成功”的定义也是需要仔细考虑的内容。在分析的过程中,可以从教育培养学生是为了满足哪些要求、价值观对学生的作用、为成功而选择专业的意义、二者之间的关系以及利弊的对比等方面展开思考。
1. 怎样评价学习某个专业是否可能成功或者不可能成功?应该参考哪些因素?请举例并简述。
回答:
现代社会,评价一个人成不成功最主要是看这个人赚了多少钱,一般来说,挣的钱越多,人们就认为这个人越成功。但是人的生活是不仅仅由物质组成的,除了物质,人还有着精神生活。如果一个人挣得足够多的钱,但是他的生活一团糟,每天都不快乐甚至活在抑郁之下,那么这个人一定是痛苦的,所以又怎么能称得上成功呢?物质生活和精神生活都丰富了,才能称得上成功。(Inner and outer life)
2. 如果没能形成正确的价值理念标准,而仅仅为了“成功”而选择专业,会有哪些潜在的问题和不足?请举例并简述。
回答:
仅仅为了“成功”而去选择专业,首先,360行,行行出状元,你不能说选择某个专业就一定会成功,没有一定会成功的专业。其次,为了“成功”而去选择一些自己不喜欢的专业,很有可能导致自己对专业失去兴趣,越学越累,最后离成功越来越远,本来为了“成功”而选择的专业却成为了自己通往成功路上的拌脚石。所以,仅仅为了“成功”而去选择专业是不明智的。
3. 除了为以后的成功做准备以外,在大学阶段,学生应该锻炼哪些其他能力?怎样进行这些能力的锻炼?请举例并简述。
回答:
专业能力是作为一个大学生所一定要掌握的,掌握着专业知识,就意味着握着通向成功大门的钥匙。此外,终身学习的能力是每个人都必需具备的,上了大学更要锻炼自己的自主学习的能力。另外,大学就像一个小型的社会一样,大学是为我们步入社会之前而作的最好的预备教学。所以一个社会上生活所必需的社交技能,应用技能要在大学阶段有个最基本的了解和学习。
4. 在毕业之后的工作和生活中,是否只有专业知识才是有用的?如果不是,还有哪些知识是有用的?为什么?请举例说明。
回答:
毕业后,专业知识就为了自己求职找工作的敲门砖,但仅仅只有专业知识是不够的。与人交往的能力,随机应变的能力,甚至于炒饭做菜才能使你生存下去。此外,如果有一些特别的才能,比如说跳舞,打篮球等等,都会使你的生活丰富多彩,甚至赢得别人的青睐,在同级别的人之中让自己脱颖而出。
5. 教育机构应该对学生的学习和发展起到怎样的引导作用?都应该如何去做?请分析并简述。
回答:
当然,一个有前途,有出路,符合社会趋势,将来会对国家,对民族带来很大贡献的专业是一个教育机构可以推荐给学生的,但是,学生的兴趣,个人特点也应考虑在内。一个从小热爱观察,喜欢考究事情真相,喜欢探索未知而又有强大的耐心与意志的人,是适合进行科研方面的专业比如物理学,数学等专业的。一个喜欢与人打交道,比起研究更喜欢去企业工作的学生,那些更倾向于应用的专业无疑更适合他们。总之,套用孔子的一句话“因材施教”,我们不能要求每个人都去开公司,赚大钱,也不能要求每个人都成为艺术大师,歌唱家。但是这个社会应该容纳各种各样的人,应该有着和谐的丰富多彩的体系,成功,对于一些人来说就是赚大钱,对于另外一些人来说,能够做自己喜欢的事,并且能够生存下去,就已经是莫大的成功了。所以说,教育机构不应该劝阻学生不去那种看起来“不成功”的领域,因为每个人对成功的定义都是不同的。教育机构更应该做的就是引导学生去选择那些他们喜欢的,他们从小就一直向往着的领域,那样,每个人才会拥有每个人应该有的“成功”。

作文
I fundamentally
disagree with the author's opinion.
In today's
society, the criterion of success of a single person can not be how much the
money the person can earn. We used to think about that the more money a person
can earn, the more he or she is successful. But except for money, we human
being still have inner life. If a person is full of money but lack of healthy,
and live in agony everyday. How could we
judge him successful? Only a person is full of inner and outer life did we can
say he or she is successful.
On the one hand, if
a student chooses a major which the educational institutions have recommended,
could the student really successful? I don't think so. First, there is three
hundred and sixty trades, and every trade has its master. So each person has
the possibility of success in each trade. If one choose a major only for the so
call "more likely succeed", it will turn into, in the contrary,
unsuccessful. Because a person would lose it interest when facing a major he or
she does not like, resulting in absent of classes, and then the lose is just
around the corner. So it is unwise to choose a major just for the
so-called success.
On the other hand,
the vital factor of success for a person is not the major he or she chooses but
the ability he or she achieve in college. Knowledge is power as well as the key
to success. The conception of lifelong learning is indispensable for everyone.
And a college student should train the ability of autonomic learning. Except for these, the ability of communication
,how to become a leader, play an important role for a student when coming into
society.
We can not deny
the fact that there really exist a lot of promising fields such as green
energy, Internet of Things and electronic industry. Students study in the
majors relative to such fields is more likely to find jobs, get high position
and earn more money. But we can not take a student's interest for granted. A student
who has astute business mind can be a essential successful businessman. But a
student tends to study in a calm environment and like to delve deeply into
physical phenomenon is more likely to be a physics professor rather than a talkative
politician. A well-known Chinese education, Confucius has indicated that: teach
students in accordance with their aptitude. We can not design a student's
career. However, we can direct them into a field they like. Interest is the
best teacher. Through interest, the essential power of a student can be
activated, and we could believe that they will achieve their own success in
their favorite field.
