40 million

766 views. 2011-4-7 13:53

Professor Dongfan said " Don't come to see and don't say you are my students, if you don't have 40 million yuan when you are 40 years old" in his miniblog.
This arouses many discussions these days.
Some people think different people can have different values, but he only emphasized fortune.
Some people think it may lead the students forget to earn money decently.
But we can not  ask for everything from a single word.it can only be treat as an inspiration.
Some people think it emphasize material civilization but not spiritual civilization, and it's a shame of education.
People put too many wishes on moral education , and when the society doesn't become as good as they think .they are dissatisfied ,and think it's the fault of education. But education is not omnipotent especially when the circumstance is not good enough. 
For example, people in the society will "show respect to" their superiors, when one do this while others don't , the superior will like him, and if everyone do this except him, the superior will not like him. then what should he do.
We all know that circumstance has big impact on people's mind and behaviour. So this will not change unless the society also take its efforts.
There are some bad things in the society, such as deceiving one's superiors and subordinates and cutting corners in projects etc. Medias say that it's the black side of the society and will give many criticisms. Actually these things happen quite often, but no one will say that they are normal things, because something can only be done and can't be speak out, if one speak out , he will become the the target of public criticism, the professor is an example though what he said is not something evil. As he said, "Our education is always be ashamed to talk about money, but everyone want to be rich."

40 Million Yuan? I would be happy to have 5 million Yuan. Want much money for what? You will only be a lonely insecure old millionaire. You don't know when you can lose that money and become a destitute. Life is just like a balance, gain some lose some. Ordinary life is easy to live. Luxury life is full of uncertainty. Just work hard and be happy with what you have earned. Richness can't buy you love. I respect that professor only for his academic achievement. I cannot respect a rich professor. Don't say you are my professor if you have 40 million because you can't be a good professor and be rich at the same time. You should be a greedy businessman.

I think 40 million yuan is just a metaphor , it just means fortune and succeed in one's career. it's not an exact criterion of success. and owning much money doesn't mean a luxury life , you can make some contribution to the society, A good example is Li jiacheng

It all depends on how you look at it. frankly the first time i heard of it, i was shocked and a little angry. how can a professor say something that might mislead students and the public? anyway we have too many menoy-minded people.i always believe that to seek a big fortune itself is nothing wrong, the point is how to get it and use it afterwards. and i think we need both successful businessmen and scientists and common laborers who don't earn much money.
however, if we see it from another perspective, it's just unnecessary for us to take it too seriously. that figure might be just symbolic, standing for commercial success. and he just said it in an impressive and joking way. that is, what he really meant was to inspire the students, who are mostly going be in the business circle. i think we should create a free and liberal atmosphere for one to express opinions.

Yes, liberal atmosphere is really important, how can people's mind be liberated without liberal communication. and this teaches us to speak cautiously especially to the public.

seemingly the professor is super confident about his educating skills, which will inspire every his student to be wealthy. but i think we should not judge one by only one standard.
