what can we gain from working/studying/doing research
|
When we chose to work for a company, study in a prestigious university, or conduct research in a National Key Laboratory, we might have a gorgeous dream or a beautiful blueprint in our minds. We were ambitious, enterprising and energetic -- we would like to change the world with our bare hands! However, the reality might strike on us with an ultimate truth: we were nothing but a tiny spare part in an enormous invisible machine. In this machine, some people are struggling for a living; some others are enjoying their uninhibited life styles; still others are exploring how to enrich their spiritual inner life. Of course everybody deserves a descent and comfortable life by hardworking, but how can we ignore the fact that a painstaking effort may turn out to be time down the drain? We cannot help pondering the significance of working, studying, or doing research. What do we gain from the process and what do we want to benefit from learning? Though an Influential Chinese official, Zeng Guopan, ever said that "Ask not about the harvest, ask about the ploughing", we have to question the significance of "ploughing", the potential benefits of working all year round. Now, my dear friends, could you comment on this and share your opinions with me? |
