In 216 and 218, I wrote why I want to study. Today, I am free. Let's put out two articles and see my introspective evolution on the theme of reading.
I'm glad to find that my initial interest in seeking knowledge has not changed, and I'm enjoying the inner pleasure after the cognitive expansion more and more.
Learning is no longer a good job, no longer a view of others, and less and less utilitarian purpose, which is perhaps the most comfortable state for a person like me who likes spiritual freedom. Money is hard to buy. I like it: d

Many people wonder why we students, at this age and with such qualifications, have to travel across the ocean and give up holidays to study basic courses such as the evolution and theory of medical insurance, health economics, medical quality management, statistics and so on. I think there are at least three reasons.
First, we are all lifelong learners, and learning knowledge will give us a sense of euphoria and accomplishment. With the same limited energy, we are more willing to spend time and sweat on acquiring new knowledge and expanding our cognition.
second, I am willing to explore the scientific logic behind the phenomenon. As materialists, we believe that the appearance of the world must have its basic laws and scientific principles behind it. These theories and methods must be cross-cultural, cross-regional, and constantly iterative and evolving, which requires continuous learning from the best and most cutting-edge knowledge birthplace.
thirdly, I like to think independently and deeply. We are not satisfied with simply accepting other people's views, let alone being influenced by inflammatory language full of emotions. In fanaticism, we choose to be calm and rational, analyze and solve problems with scientific methods and basic common sense, and drive social progress and a better life with cutting-edge insight and our own ability.
September p>216 edition
In September this year, I began to take a doctoral program in hospital management at Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health. I have received many congratulations from my friends since I was admitted. Because this 1-year-old college has always been the first in the United States in this field, and it is the top academic hall that every medical student in China dreams of pursuing further studies. However, there are also many doubts in the congratulations. Why do you still study at your age? Why do you want to study for a doctorate? Some insiders even ask, why do you want to study for a doctorate in hospital management? Here are my thoughts.
why do you still study at your age?
I enjoy the process of knowledge improvement. In the most advanced years of my life knowledge and insight, dreams are flying. Once in junior high school, I spent a year as a primary school bully from a perennial student. Once in 25, I entered a multinational consulting company, with no colleagues and predecessors. I only had to learn by myself, sell myself, develop a team and guide customers. Another time, another time, another time. These experiences are really exciting feelings of life. If you concentrate for a period of time, you will concentrate on nothing, and you will live meaningfully and make progress every day.
I'm afraid of feeling ignorant. At the same time, I often feel ignorant. When listening to colleagues talk about complicated financial terms, when friends get together and talk about poems and songs, when people sneak around the badminton court and miss the ball? I always have fear, which is the driving force for me to keep studying and worship my master.
reading has nothing to do with age. Interest in knowledge is related to mentality. When my father-in-law sees fresh machinery and equipment, he will ponder over its principle very intently. My father is in his 7s and still goes to the library to look up information every day. There are also senior medical doctors like Dean Ji Jiafu in our class, who are still returning to the furnace for further study. I also see many young people who spend their time in wine tables and karaoke bars. Learning is a process of self-improvement and self-cultivation, because it is lonely and even hard, and it is destined to be the choice of a few people, which has nothing to do with age.
why do you want to study for a doctorate?
reading a doctorate is a promise to yourself. Most of my elders and peers are great intellectuals, big doctor or great scientists. My parents branded me as a child to get the basic requirements of your doctor. Without a doctorate, no matter how much money you earn or how beautiful your career is, your life is incomplete. Therefore, I have been looking for the opportunity to pursue a doctorate and fulfill my long-cherished wish.
these years are just the right stages of my life. After graduating from master's degree more than ten years ago, my tutor asked me to stay in school and finish my doctorate with him, and I even got a visa. But at that time, I felt that people were still immature and could not determine the meaning of studying for a doctorate. After years of experience, my career direction, professional direction and even the main line of my life have been finalized, and I can really get the knowledge I need from doctoral teaching. Coupled with the stability of the family, the house and car no longer become the pressure of life, which makes me have more energy to invest in my studies.
if you identify this major, you must do your best. After so many years of industry accumulation, I am confident that I can enter the top schools with my ability and achievements, and there are only three or five top universities in this field in my mind. I have been waiting, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly! Johns Hopkins is the top of the medical pyramid. Take it down anyway!
why do you want to study for a doctorate in hospital management?
several people in the industry asked, hospital management is a very localized specialty, which has a lot to do with region, culture and tradition. Can you use the foreign ink you have learned? I think there are three things that can be worth the investment in these five years:
broaden your horizons and build a big pattern. At present, except for a few elites, most domestic deans deal with trivial matters in front of them. It is rare to form an overall understanding of the operating laws of the health system, and it is even less necessary to understand and grasp the global health economic laws. The height determines the vision, and this industry needs some people to stand on the heights to improve the academic level and administrative ability of the industry.
learn methods and master big decisions. At present, our management radius is small, and the decision-making influence is often in sight, months, but not more than a few years. Through systematic study, we can master more advanced decision-making methods and have more opportunities to use these methods, which will affect the lives of millions or even millions of people. This is also the motto of Johns Hopkins Public Health College, Save LivesMillionsat a time.
seize the opportunity and attack the academic highland. Hospital management is also an independent discipline. Due to the lack of attention to the construction of this discipline in China, the academic accumulation is weak. Although many famous scholars have emerged in their respective positions to explore, there are still few "everyone", and there is no scene of academic flowers blooming. There is still a huge room for improvement in the academic field, which requires a large number of scholars who have grown up here and have an international vision to promote and develop, and now is a good opportunity to create the world!
