writing papers in some schools is sometimes a process of scraping together. "A little check up the information, here to copy some, there is a remark, change the wording into their own" argument ", it looks like eight or nine not ten, as long as the professor can not be difficult to pass through.
in Yale, every essay can be written with great difficulty.
for the arguments of a paper, I often do a few books, run several libraries, check several journal databases, and sometimes have to communicate with face-to-face professors. The process of writing is not so careless, the logic of the article, the sentence and other aspects of the sentence need "solemn" treatment; when referencing other people's views and data, it must be carefully annotated and written all "reference", otherwise even if plagiarism, it may be chased.
some senior students will even "suppress" a graduation thesis for a whole semester. When I finally got the professor's affirmation, I had two senior friends who cried happily on the spot. Is it necessary for
to experience so many "torments" and experiences?
as a past person, frankly speaking, when I stayed up late reading hard, I really felt tired when I wanted to curse. But the sense of achievement and progress after learning is like an endless return of good tea.
knowledge is well learned. This is not to be said, more important, or the ability to improve through deep learning: reading, writing, analytical, critical thinking and so on.
combining these abilities strengthens one's self-learning ability. And good self-learning is helpful not only in reading, but also in the coming decades.
[b] two, good university is good in "good professor [/b][b], good student, good alumni" [/b]
"near Zhu beholder, near the black", all women and children all know. There is also a more popular theory that a person's level is about the average of five people who interact with him most. For college students, these five people are almost classmates and professors who are getting along with each other.
young people over 20 years old, three views have not yet been fully formed, and their personality is still plastic. In the process of transforming into an adult, everyone is more or less influenced by the people around him.
if you want to be an excellent person, you will be best able to be with people who are superior to you.
good university, the key "good" lies in "good people". No good university is full of talents and talents. For four years in a talented campus, you will come into contact with all kinds of talents. Through class, homework, exercise, chat, travel, and love, you will always be shrouded by their energy and energy, imperceptibly draw their advantages and become better themselves.
the talented "powerful" out of Curve Wrecker, musical poet and inventor. Have the experience of the "powerful": Ten grade summer road traveled south American entertainer to write a best-selling travels; 18 and 22 years old on behalf of the United States to participate in two consecutive Olympic fencing match and won the medal; young survived the Rwandan genocide, and the family for ten years in the United States after the reunion, long after the representatives of African refugees speech at the United nations.
on weekends, he goes to New York by train to visit museums and art galleries. We will explore the profound topics of political democracy, biological experiments and ethics, and gay rights, and we will even think about the future of life together under the stars.
every Yale student is releasing a positive atmosphere and catching up with each other in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere. With such a group of people, they never dare to be lazy, nor can they be decadent.
those distinguished families have no air of dandy. From them, I felt understatement, humility and courtesy.
Yale professors are a group of cattle people who are leading the academic world and extend their influence to politics, business, literature and arts.
four years, I was lucky to learn the "financial market theory" with Professor Robert Shiller, the Nobel prize winner of economics, to discuss the future economic trend of China with Professor Stephen Roach, the chief economist of the Asia Pacific region, before Morgan Stanley, to the famous chief investment officer of the Yale University Investment Office David Sam. Professor Vincent asked for the secret of investment.
in addition to being able to contact the legendary "characters" in class, I also have the opportunity to talk to professors in their lives: to learn from Professor Japanese, to a German history professor to drink black beer and to help the English writing professor to take care of the flowers and flowers in the back garden.
because four years of schoolmate friendship is beautiful and unforgettable, after graduation, they still maintain close ties, proud of Yale alumni.
it is not an exaggeration that every corner of the earth is changing the world by Yale, even a small town of two Yale graduates, and a Alumni Association can be established.
New York, San Francisco, London and other big cities in Europe and America, there are more than thousands of Yale people, from the old one hundred years old to the more than 20 year old gang are active in the alumni activities.
after graduation, I like to wear a Yale sweater with "YALE" four bold letters. And the Yale symbol also helped me meet my alumni several times.
a trip to Hakodate, Hokkaido, and a Yale Sweatshirt looking at the night view on the black top of the hill, came to an old Japanese gentleman and asked in English with excitement:
"are you reading at Yale?" Hearing that I just graduated from Yale, he grasped my hand more excitedly and congratulated me on finishing my studies.
"I graduated from Yale in 1972." I was very excited to meet the university president in this remote Japanese town. I talked about the history of Yale in Japanese with my old man.
before leaving, my old school friend handed me a business card, which turned out to be a retired senior key executive of MITSUBISHI group. "Leo Jun, next time I come to Japan, if you are in Tokyo, please contact me."
another trip to Losangeles. At The Peninsula Hotel, I was sitting in the lobby wearing a Yale T-shirt to write papers. The female pianist in the lobby came up to me with a smile on her face. "You must be Yale?" (You must be a Yalie?), after the affirmative reply, the pianist said her husband and daughter were Yale graduates.
"to see you are kind, you remind me of my daughter. Leo, if you can stay here for a while, be sure to attend the activities of the Alumni Association. Next week, the Yale Alumni Association in Los Angeles will hold a party at Hollywood. Maybe Meryl Streep, a famous Yale actress, will also be there.
people who talk about Yale are excited and somewhat distant.
in a word, if you want to meet a group of high IQ, EQ, and friends / partners / lovers in the best years of youth, and let them bring you a steady stream of positive influence and change, you should work on a good school.
I believe that even the students who have only a little bit of ambition want to be with the good people, but not to play with the students who are playing the game all day.
