18、 their means”. They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonalds ?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then a
19、sk, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonalds makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious McDonalds is excellent at business systems.

The national college entrance exam, known as the “Gaokao” has been used to e
