Chapter 1326: Go to the pier at 9:14 to get so fries
Learning knows no hierarchy; those who are accomplished are teachers.
Indeed.
The person on stage may not compare to the Kyoto University students in the audience in terms of academic credentials, but his vast knowledge and profound insights have thoroughly convinced the proud young prodigies below.
If this lecture ended here, it would undoubtedly be a great success. Boss Jiang, who never had the chance to study at Kyoto University, has fulfilled the dream in the hearts of countless diligent students in a different form. Unfortunately, this is neither a presentation nor an interview; it is a lecture.
Every lecture has a strictly regulated ti.
Without the dismissal bell, there’s no leaving midway.
Of course.
Boss Jiang, with his abundant erudition, is undoubtedly under no pressure, especially with the strong impression he’s already made. Even the simple act of raising a bottle to drink water now appears enigmatic.
As elite students from a premier institution, the n and won in the audience might have an innate arrogance, yet at the sa ti, they deeply respect individuals with genuine talent and knowledge. At this mont, no one is paying attention to Jiang Chen’s age anymore.
“Professor Jiang, standing at your height now, can you give us ordinary people so guidance and advice?”
Hearing this question, Jiang Chen, who was drinking water, nearly sprayed it out.
Kyoto University students.
Calling themselves ordinary?
This is practically on par with Su Da’s “oblivious to his wife’s beauty.”
Also.
Isn’t this blatant flattery?
Except for certain special individuals, those who can get into Kyoto University are undoubtedly prodigies, akin to top scorers and rising talents.
Who says geniuses lack social savvy?
Bookworms, bookworms.
Yet the talents and beauties in the audience overturn the traditional stereotype.
After twisting the bottle cap back on, Jiang Chen, who had firmly established his place on this lecture podium with his genuine abilities, returned the mineral water bottle to its spot.
“First of all, students, I need to correct you on one point. Kyoto University’s admissions process has always been a matter of survival of the fittest. Since you’ve made it through the gates of Kyoto University, you are undoubtedly glittering gold. You are not ordinary; this is an indisputable fact. I understand your modesty, but you also need to leave so face for others.”
Not to ntion anyone else, even that male student couldn’t help but scratch his head, looking sowhat embarrassed.
The other students, however, wore amused expressions.
Without being overly tactful, Jiang Chen’s humorous remarks undeniably further won the affection of the young geniuses below.
Everyone loves to hear kind words.
This has nothing to do with intelligence; it’s human nature.
“Second, I believe the advice you’re looking for likely pertains to career or life choices.”
Those admitted to Kyoto University are indeed geniuses.
But even geniuses need to integrate into society.
The few who fully dedicate themselves to research are only a small minority.
In Shenzhou, Kyoto University is undoubtedly a prestigious brand, akin to embedding gold edges onto a diploma. However, graduating from Kyoto University does not guarantee effortless success or an affluent life.
Stories of graduates from Kyoto University or even neighboring Hua Qing who struggled in life are not uncommon.
There was even soone who once sold pork, causing quite a stir back then.
Of course, their approach to selling pork differed from typical pork vendors—they systematically planned programs and developed an industry chain. In a way, they were pioneers in shedding the traditional scholar’s robe.
Applying knowledge to practice.
Every trade has its champions.
Of course.
At this mont, Jiang Chen certainly couldn’t cite such extre examples.
“Originally, I thought that students at a school like Kyoto University wouldn’t feel perplexed by such questions.”
Drawing from the Tao Te Ching, dicine, philosophy, history, and further stretching to education, Boss Jiang spoke with ease.
“Indeed, the current employnt landscape is very challenging; the pressure to secure jobs is evident. But I believe these challenges aren’t really problems for the students gathered here. If the day ever cos when even you worry about finding jobs, then perhaps our nation is facing its most perilous hour.”
Jiang Chen’s witty remarks elicited plenty of good-natured laughter.
Indeed.
Compared to the martyrs.
Compared to the forebears.
This generation grew up under the red flag, enjoying the Spring Breeze—already fortunate enough.
“I think your confusion is solely about future career paths. The students present co from different majors, with varying thoughts and values. I can’t offer overly specific advice, but I can share the ideas I had when I was studying.”
That’s right.
Before attaining “lick-dog gold,” Jiang Chen naturally crafted plans for his life.
“I believe the most important thing is to choose one city to settle in. Once you’ve chosen, don’t keep switching. Then, treat this city as your ho field. Use a certain amount of ti—perhaps five years, perhaps ten years—to establish roots, build your network of resources, and expand into every corner of this city. Strengthen your social connections, and position yourself as soone with influence and standing in a particular field in this city.
Of course.
So students undoubtedly have no interest in this, preferring nature and travel. That’s another matter. But if you have strong ideals and ambitions or a clear goal, you can learn to see yourself as a seed. Select a city as the soil in which you’ll grow. Then strive to extend underground roots into every direction across that city, allowing that seed to grow thicker and stronger until it fuses completely with the city itself. When that day cos, everything you desire will co naturally.”
Compared to hollow motivational speeches, this perspective was undeniably more pragmatic and realistic.
Moreover.
It was heartfelt.
On this point, perhaps Cao Jinse, sitting in the audience, understood best.
Getting into Kyoto University undeniably brings glory to one’s family. However, a high degree doesn’t necessarily equate to high achievent.
