Is Wealth the Only Standard for Succe?

Cultivating培养 students' awarene about wealth is part of Profeor Dong Fan's

self-appointed自封的，自己任命的 job description描述，类型.“If you become rich, you can create more GDP, more tax revenue税收，收入 and more job opportunities for society.You can also help low-income people around you and avoid being a burden 重负on society,” said Dong, Director of the Real Estate Research Center of Beijing Normal University, in his microblog on April 4, 2011.“For people with higher educations, poverty贫困 means humiliation耻辱 and failure.”

Dong even said that students should not even bother visiting him or saying they were his former students unle they had accumulated积累 40 million yuan($6 million)by the age of 40.His remarks started a heated debate almost immediately.It focuses on the question: Is wealth the only standard for succe?

Supporters collectively 共同地agree that everyone loves money.As a teacher, Dong's use of wealth as a motivational tool to encourage students to make money is a good way to push social development.Since life's ultimate 最大的goal is happine, money can play a large role in helping people realize that.Opponents 反对者suggest teachers and society in general shouldn't evaluate students based on their incomes.Universities should be the cradle摇篮，发源地 for cultivating 培养social elites精英 and teachers shouldn't measure 衡量succe with the sole 唯一的standard of money.Supporters

Dong Fan(http://t.163.com): Chinese people are always ashamed to talk about money, but the fact is that everyone wants to be rich.We can't deny the function money plays in society.The standard of succe is quite subjective 主观and it's OK and very natural that some people take wealth as their standard to measure succe.Xiao Yong(http://epaper.shaoxing.com.cn): The 40 million yuan($6 million)goal can easily be met.The salary today is 40 times that of 30 years ago.Dong's students were most likely in their 20s when they attended his claes, and 20 years later it's also likely that their salaries will have increased 20 times, making it totally poible that they are earning millions of yuan each year.Together with property 资产，财产，房地产income, it's quite poible that they will have 40 million yuan($6 million).This goal is reachable.Dong is just using it as a prime主要的 motivator促进因素 to encourage his students.Bafen Shanyudi(http://bbs.umiwi.com): We shouldn't blame Dong as it's only a

teacher's way to encourage students.Many people think it's inappropriate不恰当，不适宜 to link poverty and humiliation and failure with high educational level.But we should also notice that most of Dong's students become businepeople or enter the real estate 房地产industry, which have relatively 相当地high incomes.Forty million yuan($6 million)is just a good wish from a teacher to his students.Yu Biediu(): I completely agree with Dong's special ways on

encouraging students by using higher salaries and property as a standard.In the market economy, wealth is a very important standard to measure whether one is succeful or not.If it's acceptable that the goal of companies is maximized profit, why should we blame the individual for taking the same approach to life? For Dong's students who are engaged in the real estate industry or whose major is management or economy, it's quite acceptable to take money as the standard for succe.Opponents

Liu Yiming(http://tiexue.net): I don't agree with Dong.After graduation, not all of his students will become businepeople.Even if they do, not all of them will be extremely 非常succeful.If they have tried their best but fail in the end due to bad luck, Dong

shouldn't look down on them.As long as they have a decent得体的，令人满意的 career and can make contributions to society, they deserve the teacher's praise.On the surface表面, Dong simply has higher expectations and wishes for his students, but the reality is that he is encouraging greedine 贪欲and facilitating 使便利money worshipping崇拜.Liu Shuwei(http://t.163.com): I'm a teacher myself and every lecture I give is all about money.But when I give the first cla to freshmen, I always begin with some suggestions: You should never take the money you shouldn't;You can afford losing your job but not your freedom, so don't earn money by breaking the law.Some of my students get lucky and have high paying jobs in the first months after graduation, but I never set a goal for them on how much money they should earn.This will just make them lost.As a teacher, if you only encourage students to earn 40 million yuan($6 million)but

never give them the reason for doing so, you can easily lead them down the wrong path, which is bad for students and society.Huang Yiping(http:): I totally disagree with Dong's opinion.Is wealth the only standard for measuring succe? No!I'd rather see that my students have ordinary but happy lives.My students are also quite ambitious but ambition doesn't necearily mean big bucks.They can realize their dreams through academic research or even charitable行善的，慈善的 works.Even if they have ordinary jobs, they are very happy with their life, and I would still be very proud of them.Zeng Jin(http://.cn): Measuring succe only in terms of money demonstrates 说明，证明the prevalent流行的，盛行的 “money education” under the circumstance环境 of money worship崇拜.Cultivating students' awarene of wealth should be done properly and carefully.Dong's motivation will only push his students into the darkne of money worship.Dong thinks that poverty for people with high education level means humiliation and

failure.Also, he says in his microblog that there are no peasants农民，农夫 in the rich list and people with low education level can only have low incomes.But the truth is, domestic 国内的and foreign rich lists are full of people with low education level.Statistics show

that from 1999 to 2009, among the billionaires 亿万富翁in China, 40 percent of them have low education level.The eence实质，本质 of education will be changed if Dong's requirement for students becomes more popular in society, as it put money in the priority优先权，重点，优先考虑的事.Universities shouldn't just turn students into money-making machines but should give them the right attitude to money, society and life.Mao Yingying(http://news.hebei.com.cn): Getting rich is not the only goal for

education.If we agree with Dong's remarks, that money means value and poverty means humiliation, that's to say those researchers and scientists who make great contributions to society but do not live in fancy houses or drive expensive cars are losers.Imagine what kind of society it will become if everyone with a higher education takes money as their first priority.As a matter of fact, Dong mirrored反映 the real condition in many universities.Nowadays, if you become a celebrity名人，名流, teachers and universities will think highly of you.But if you are just a “small potato,” they will totally ignore you.Connecting money with everything and taking money as the only standard will twist扭曲 the eence of college education.If profeors in universities can't give students the right standard of happine and

succe and the right view of the world, whose humiliation is it even if they cultivate many rich people with high education qualification?

Xing Meizhi(China Youth Daily): Dong looks down upon his students when they are poor while Dong's students will look down upon their teacher as he is too snobbish势利眼的.Everyone has a dream to get rich, which is not necearily bad.But if we think too highly of money and take it as the only standard for succe, it will be a disaster for the country.A healthy society needs not only ambitious businepersons and entrepreneurs企业家

but also scientists, researchers and common people.If Dong's philosophy is prevalent普遍的，流行的 in Chinese society, it will be the saddest thing and the biggest humiliation for the nation.
