Would you rather starve to death than surrender?

Today I saw an article "A girl from another place died in the apartment I rented", is modern life becoming more and more contradictory?
1. Must you take the civil service exam?
My older brother told me that when he took the civil service exam from 2007 to 2009, hundreds of people in Shandong Province competed for one position. They had to go through a written test and an interview. Leaving aside the personal connections, many people were eliminated just by the written test. This is the reason why my second and third brothers did not take the civil service exam after graduation. Speaking of the interview, it emphasizes quick judgment and the ability to answer questions that are not asked. Most people cannot answer them. I remember a report from a long time ago, where a clerk faced a central news reporter and incorporated the reporter's questions into the answers. At that time, it was defined as incompetence. But looking back now, he saved many people's jobs single-handedly. It was not only his superiors but also those who depended on steel for a living. Answering questions that are not asked is not necessarily a bad thing!
2. Family situation, taking the civil service exam also requires family support.
3. There is not just one way, losing face and facing setbacks on all fronts.
You can put down your face, but you can't put down your reputation. For the sake of so-called honor, one cannot lower oneself.
The goal of education is to better adapt to society. It is inevitable to test one's courage, not everyone can succeed, perseverance is needed for success, and in the early stages, they already had the capital to look down on others. What is capital? Do you still believe in the illusion of starting from scratch?
Was Jack Ma a self-made man? People born in Beijing have the opportunity to attend Peking University and Tsinghua University from birth. Can you stand on the same starting line as them? Inspirational quotes are like a light on your path, not to illuminate you, but to help you see reality and just be an ordinary person.
Society does not lack stubborn mules, what is lacking is ordinary people!
