Conclusion
The book list recommendation is complete. 20 books cannot cover all fields. There are still many classic books that you need to go to the library to discover on your own. Interest is the best Teacher, I suggest you start developing the habit of reading with books that interest you.
The university is great.
University is almost the known place in life with the most learning resources, the most abundant time, the highest degree of freedom, and the lowest cost of trial and error. In this super large comprehensive laboratory, don’t be afraid of taking the wrong path, don’t be afraid of being laughed at, and try your best to try what you want to do, because as long as you pay a small price, you can unlock more possibilities in life.
Even if you choose a major in confusion, or choose a "reliable" major based on the decision of your parents and teachers, the impact on your future life will still be negligible. Because starting from college, your life truly belongs to you, which means that no one is responsible for you anymore, and you have to write your future blueprint yourself.
Finally, an old man who has graduated almost three years ago gives some mundane advice to the students who are about to enter school:
Cherish your time and every opportunity the world gives you to choose. , just like cherishing your eyes.
