Dear questioner,
My name is Yang Yiqing, and I'm a listener on the Yixinli platform.
I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulties. I'd like to offer you my support and help in any way I can.
In your question description, you mentioned eight potential challenges, but you still haven't given up and have come here to ask a question, which shows that you are still striving for and persevering in your heart. This is a testament to your perseverance and aspiration for a better life. First of all, I would like to commend you for your admirable qualities.
If I may, I would like to suggest that we take a moment to examine your current challenges and explore ways in which we might be able to assist you in finding effective solutions.
1. "Nowadays, at least a bachelor's degree is required."
This sentence comes from an undergraduate sister of yours, and it makes you feel that she is right, that things seem to be just like that, and that this sentence is like the last straw, crushing all your positive and enterprising efforts. Here, I can see your confusion and unease, and even a little despair, feeling that you may never be able to live the life you want in this lifetime.
I want to reassure you that things may not be as bad as you think.
Perhaps it would be helpful to reflect on this sentence: What happened to those who attended junior college? What kind of life are they living without a bachelor's degree?
Secondly, it would be beneficial to consider the differences between the lives of those who have graduated from high school and those who have obtained a college degree or a bachelor's degree.
Could it be that those with low educational levels are not as disadvantaged as we might think?
I would like to suggest that all time and experience are valuable. While some may have pursued an undergraduate degree in place of their youth, others may have had a different kind of youth, and the experience of youth is a unique treasure for all. I believe that although you may not have a junior high school diploma, you have experienced a richer array of life experiences than others. This is your unique growth value, and it is a gain that is not the same as academic qualifications.
I believe that making the most of what you have, rather than pursuing what you cannot have, is one of the most important and critical choices you can make. It is also a reflection of your unique individuality.
2. "No future"
You mentioned that you felt the electronics factory wouldn't hire you either, which made you feel like even the most basic job was out of reach and that your future was uncertain. Do you think that your future might lie in an electronics factory?
I'm not here to judge whether these thoughts are right or wrong. I hope you'll find the answers on your own. I'm happy to share some clues for analysis if you'd find them helpful.
Could I ask how this idea came about? I'd be really interested to know why you think that way.
Could it be that your elders and friends have influenced your perspective on this matter?
Perhaps you could consider where this idea came from? Thinking about the origin of this idea may help you to break free from your mental prison.
I would be happy to discuss the idea of a "cage of thought" with you. It seems that almost everyone has their own cage of thought, which can limit our thoughts and actions and make us feel that the boundaries of the world are difficult to overcome.
Perhaps the purpose of education is not just to obtain a degree, but also to break out of the limitations of our current stage of development. If we can transcend these limitations, we may find a broader perspective on life.
From your description, it seems that your ideological prison may have its roots in "academic suppression," but it's possible that the deeper reason is "low self-esteem." You may have heard a lot of comments about the importance of academic qualifications, etc., and these comments may have led you to feel inferior, as though you are not as good as others unless you obtain the same academic qualifications as others.
3. Could I possibly inquire as to how?
It seems that your academic qualifications have become a source of obsession and a kind of prison for you. How might you find a way to break out of this mental trap?
I would like to suggest the following books for your consideration: Adler's "Inferiority Complex and Transcendence," Wu Jun's "Knowledge," and Zhou Ling's "Cognitive Awakening."
I believe that reading the first book could potentially bring about a breakthrough from the inside out, which might help you to gain a deeper understanding of how things happen.
The second book may offer you a broader perspective on life and introduce you to more possibilities.
The third book will offer guidance on how to embrace change and embark on a path of awakening.
2. Consider embracing a lifestyle of self-awareness.
Your unconscious perception may be seen as a manifestation of what could be called a "thought cage." With the reflective ability of "self-awareness," you might consider reflecting on your unconscious thoughts and actions as I have provided clues above. Through conscious thinking and verification, you could potentially approach the truth and reality in a way that is infinite.
At this time, you may find that you are able to draw on a source of strength from within. When this strength emerges, you may come to understand your own capabilities and realise that you do not need qualifications to support them.
At 25, you are still young and have many infinite possibilities. Perhaps you could consider showing your good qualities, your perseverance, and your yearning for a better life. You might also think about rethinking the wealth you have, using your wisdom and extraordinary experience to break the cage of thought, and living a different and wonderful life. You deserve all the good things!
The road to growth is challenging and requires time and patience. I hope this is the beginning of your journey and wish you all the best.
If there is anything I can help you with, please do not hesitate to ask. I am here to support you and the world is here to support you too!
Comments
I understand how frustrating it must be to face so many obstacles. It seems like every path you've tried has its own set of challenges. But don't lose hope; there are still options out there. Have you considered looking into adult education programs that might not require a junior high school diploma? Sometimes community colleges or vocational schools offer courses that can help you gain the skills and credentials you need without such strict prerequisites.
Finding your way through these barriers is tough, especially when it feels like every door is closed. I admire your determination to keep learning despite the setbacks. Maybe you could explore alternative education routes, like online platforms or private institutions that cater to adults returning to education. These often have more flexible entry requirements and can provide the foundation you need to progress further in your studies or career.
It's disheartening when the traditional paths aren't available to us, but that doesn't mean all is lost. Your drive to improve yourself is commendable. Perhaps you could look into nonaccredited courses or certifications that are recognized in your field of interest. Building up a portfolio of relevant experience and knowledge can sometimes be just as valuable as formal qualifications. Keep searching for opportunities that align with your goals, and don't underestimate the power of selfeducation and networking in opening new doors.
