------题目------
What most human beings really want to attain is not knowledge, but certainty. Gaining real knowledge requires taking risks and keeping the mind open—but most people prefer to be reassured rather than to learn the complex and often unsettling truth about anything.
------正文------
People always want certainty to make them feel safe. I agree with this statement that people often want attain certain rather than knowledge.
On the first hand, when student face the choice between interest major and practical major most student often choose practical major because they want to make sure they can find a safe job after they graduate. Certainty play a vital role in people's life, we fear to try some thing that we never done before, and we always want to consult predecessor who have experience which may help us to avoid several time and eliminate the dangerous of uncertainty. Students are specially have this obvious character in that most student prefer to choose finance, accounting, economics, computer, and so forth major that relevant to job seeking instead of philosophy, sociology, history, geography, and so on major that have little help when they seek job. Apparently students who have the psychology of safe work may give up their interest and choose some fields that maybe boring for them. I recognize a finance major student who has tremendous interest in philosophy and no much interest in dealing with the proliferate tool used in finance field. He chooses this major according to his parents’ forecast that finance will remain its popularity in the future. However, he told me he does not like any courses of finance especially those connect with mathematic. What a pity boy, a good major may assure a safe job in the future, but a good salary merely could not represent a good job let along a good future. Interest are the driven of learning, those who sacrifice their interest to pursuit certainty will upset one day.
Moreover, parents always do not like to their children to error, because in this society character on rapid change and accurate life style and working standard erroneous often equal to wrong. People hate error which frequently accompanied by uncertainty. What people need is accurate right and certainty. Of course, in some extent to error is wrong. For example, an engineer whose skyscraper collapsed immediately after it build up won't keep his job long and a business whose wrong strategy make his/her company experience a sharp decrease in profit may end in bankrupt. Nevertheless, if we over emphasize on the right decision we will lose a lot of opportunity that many probability could happen. Parents always hope their children to conform to some existing rule which may block children’s potential. Instead of prison children in a safe cage like lion in the zoo, student should be encouraged to try as much possibility as possible. By challenging the uncertainty, children could learn some thing that even out of parents' expectation and that may never happen if they do things in a certain way. For example, parents may feel their children are too weak to join the basketball team may forbid children to play basketball because they fear uncertain danger such as other children may knock their children down. However, if parents encourage their children to play basketball, they may surprisingly find their children become more strong and easy to communicate after a short term.
In sum, people often focus too much on certainty, especially when educating the young generation because we fear the uncertainty that may harm the young and society. Nonetheless, Instead of fear the uncertainty, we should encourage student to try things that seems uncertain but could possibly originate miracle. |
