At that time, Marx and his classmates were about to graduate, facing the problems of further studies and employment, and everyone was thinking about their future. Some people want to become poets, scientists, and philosophers, and dedicate themselves to literary and academic careers; some people intend to serve as priests and priests, and dream about the happiness of heaven; some people want to be officials, and take senior officials and high-rankings as their goals; People are envious of the luxury life of the bourgeoisie and regard comfort and enjoyment as their ideals. In short, they started from self-interest and used personal happiness as the criterion for choosing a career. Marx has a different idea from other students. He did not consider which specific occupation to choose, but raised this question to the understanding of society and the attitude to life.

Nature itself stipulates the range of activities that animals should follow, and animals move peacefully within this range. They do not try to go beyond this range or even consider the existence of other ranges. God also assigns a common goal to manto make mankind and himself noble. However, God asks people to find the means to achieve this goal; God allows people to choose a position in society that is best for him and that can improve him and society.

Having such a choice is where humans are far superior to other living things. However, it is also an act that can destroy a person's life, destroy all his plans, and cause him to suffer misfortune. Therefore, to seriously consider this choice-this is undoubtedly the primary responsibility of young people who are beginning to embark on the path of life and are unwilling to take their most important career to chance.

Everyone has a goal in front of him. This goal is at least great in his own eyes, and if the deepest belief, that is, the voice in his heart, thinks that this goal is great, then he is actually great, because God will never make the world completely unguided, and God always gives revelation softly and firmly.

However, this voice can easily be drowned out, because something inspired may have to be born, and it may also have to die. Perhaps our fantasies sprang up, our emotions agitated, our imagination was imaginative, and we pursued zealously what we thought was God's own point to us. But what we dreamed of quickly disgusted us-and our entire existence was destroyed.

Therefore, we should seriously consider: Does the chosen profession really encourage us? Do we agree inside? Is our encouragement a mistake? Do we think that what God calls is a self-deception? But how can we recognize these without identifying the source of inspiration?

Great things are glorious, and glory causes vanity, and vanity is easy to inspire or is something we think is inspiring. However, the man who was fascinated by fame and fortune had no reason to dominate him, so he plunged into the place where the irresistible desire drove him to go. He no longer chooses his place in society by himself, but leaves it to chance and fantasy to decide it.

Our mission is by no means to find a profession that is most sufficient to show off, because it is not a profession that keeps us engaged for a long time without being depressed. On the contrary, we will soon feel that if our wishes are not fulfilled and our ideals are not fulfilled, we will blame the sky.

But it's not just vanity that can cause sudden enthusiasm for one or that profession. Perhaps, we ourselves will beautify this profession with fantasy, beautify the supreme thing that adult students can provide. We did not analyze it carefully and did not measure its full weight, that is, the great responsibility it put on us. We only observe it from a distance, but observation from a distance is unreliable.

Here, our own intellect cannot serve as our adviser, because it does not rely on experience or in-depth observation, but is deceived by feelings and blinded by illusions. However, where should we look? Who will support us where we lose our minds?

It s our parents. They have come a long way in life, and they have tasted the bitterness of lifeour heart reminds us.

If we recognize the full weight of the chosen profession through calm research and understand the difficulties, we are still passionate about it, we still love it and feel that we are suitable for it, then we should choose it, then We are neither deceived by enthusiasm nor rushed.

However, we are not always able to choose occupations that we consider suitable. Our relationships in society have already begun to be established to some extent before we have the ability to influence them decisively.

Our physique often threatens us, but no one dares to despise its existence.

It is true that we can transcend physical limitations, but in this way, we will collapse faster; in this case, we are risking to build the building on the soft ruins, and our whole life becomes a spirit An unfortunate struggle between principles and physical principles. However, how can a person who cannot overcome his own conflicting factors resist the violent impact of life and quietly engage in activities? Because only from the quiet can produce a great and magnificent career, quiet is the only soil that produces mature fruits.

Although we are not suitable for our profession due to our constitution, we can not work permanently, and it is rarely fun to work. However, the thought of sacrificing our own happiness in order to fulfill our due diligence encourages us to work hard regardless of infirmity. If we choose a profession that is not capable, then we must not do it well. We will soon be ashamed and tell ourselves that we are useless people and members of society who cannot fulfill our mission. The inevitable consequence of this is self-importance. Is there anything more painful than this? Is there anything more difficult to compensate for by the gift of the outside world? Being vain is a poisonous snake, it will always bite our soul, suck the blood that nourishes life, and inject the venom of despair and despair.

If we miscalculate our abilities and think that we are qualified for a career that has been carefully considered, then this mistake will punish us. Even if we are not accused by the outside world, we will feel more terrible pain than the outside accusation.

If we have considered all of this, if the conditions of our lives allow us to choose any profession, then we can choose a profession that will give us the most dignity, and choose a philosophy based on our conviction that it is correct Choose a career that provides us with a broad place to carry out activities for human beings, close to a common goal (for this goal, all occupations are just means), that is, a perfect situation.

Dignity is the thing that makes a man noble, has the highest quality of his activities and all his efforts, is the thing that makes him beyond reproach, admired by all, and above all.

However, there is only such a profession that can give people dignity. When engaging in this profession, we are not used as slaves, but we create independently in our own field. This profession does not require disgraceful action (even if it is only disgraceful action on the surface), and even the best people will engage in it with high pride. The occupation that best meets these requirements is not necessarily the most noble occupation, but it is always the most desirable occupation.

But just as professions with dignity degrade us, professions based on ideologies that we later consider wrong must make us feel depressed.

Here, we have no way to save except self-deception, but how bad is self-deception!

Those occupations that do not interfere with life itself, but engage in the study of abstract truth, are the most dangerous to young people who do not yet have firm principles and firm, unshakable convictions. At the same time, if these occupations take deep roots in our hearts, if we can sacrifice life and do our best for their dominating thoughts, these occupations seem to be the most noble.

These occupations can make talented people happy, but they must also destroy those who rush into it without any consideration.

On the contrary, attaching importance to the ideas that are the basis of our profession will allow us to occupy a higher position in society, improve our own dignity, and make our behavior unshakable.

A person who chooses a profession he cherishes trembles when he thinks that he may be incompetent-this kind of person simply because his status in the society is noble, he will keep his behavior noble .

When choosing a career, the main guidelines we should follow are human happiness and our own perfection. It should not be argued that these two interests are hostile and conflicting, and one interest must eliminate the other. The nature of humanity itself is this: people can only make themselves perfect if they work for the perfection of their contemporaries and their happiness.

If a person only works for himself, he may be able to become a famous scholar, great philosopher, and outstanding poet, but he will never be a flawless great person.

History recognizes those who work for a common goal and become noble themselves, and experience praises those who bring happiness to most people as the happiest. Religion also teaches us, and the ideal figure that everyone admires has sacrificed himself for humanity-who dares to deny such teachings?

If we choose the profession that works best for human happiness, then the burden cannot be overwhelmed because it is dedicated to humanity. At that time, what we feel is not pitiful, limited, selfish pleasure, and our happiness will belong to millions. Our cause is silent, but she will live forever and make a difference. Facing our ashes, noble people will shed tears.
