Features: As a successful entrepreneur and a recent college graduate himself, the author combines his own experiences in studying, job hunting, and entrepreneurship to have an in-depth and comprehensive discussion with college students about the issues they should pay attention to in various aspects of their lives, such as learning, daily life, postgraduate entrance exams, studying abroad, job hunting, and entrepreneurship. The author's viewpoints are novel, comprehensive, profound, and practical. Many of the author's opinions completely contradict mainstream views at the moment. For those who adhere to golden rules, the author is a completely unconventional figure who subverts tradition. For example, while most people believe that skipping classes is a sign of lack of ambition, the author argues that students who never skip classes are not good students. Many people think that postgraduate entrance exams are the best, or even the only, path for college students, but the author compares taking the exam to a painful, comfortable death. If you find the author's viewpoints unacceptable while looking at the table of contents, please don't let that stop you from reading this book. The author wrote this book simply to engage in an equal exchange of ideas with you as someone who has been through it all. The author cites numerous examples in the book, many of which are drawn from real-life situations around him. These college graduates living around the author are more vivid and authentic than any authoritative case study. Although you may dream of becoming a figure like Bill Gates, the greater likelihood is that you will end up being one of the ordinary college graduates mentioned in the book: finding a satisfactory job after graduation, commuting to work by bus, hoping for a promotion and salary increase from your boss, and finally, choosing to start your own business at the right time. Please forgive me for not being able to free you from this ordinary pattern. What I can do is help you move faster, more steadily, and more solidly along this ordinary path.
