A person's life depends on the degree of connection and association between them and the world, as well as their ability to face the world. In college, there are various abilities that a person needs to hone, including self-learning ability, professional technical ability, innovation ability, as well as human-machine collaboration ability and knowledge transfer ability, which are widely mentioned in the era of artificial intelligence. These abilities are crucial for college students, as they constitute important internal conditions for a person's progress and development. But I believe that for college students, a more important and fundamental ability is the ability to face the world, which requires special attention and training. The ability to face the world determines the breadth of one's perception of the world, the depth of one's thinking, and even the height of one's life. The morning mushrooms do not know the timing, the scorpions do not know the spring and autumn, but the Kunpeng can climb up to 90000 miles by twisting and shaking sheep horns. The difference between them lies largely in the width of the world they see. Therefore, a person's life depends on the degree of connection and association between them and the world, as well as their ability to face the world. The ability to face the world at a fundamental level refers to the skills and qualities that individuals possess in their interactions with the world. In my opinion, the most essential skills and qualities include communication and expression ability, problem-solving ability, and self-learning ability. Among them, communication and expression skills are the key to interpersonal communication. Communication and interaction between people are ubiquitous. Learning to express one's own views, gain recognition from others, and learn to listen and understand others better is beneficial for us to better carry out our work and achieve our goals. The ability to solve problems is also an important ability to face the world. In real life, people are not always smooth sailing, and various difficulties always unexpectedly stand in front of them, blocking the way forward. To make progress and develop, one must possess the ability to solve various problems. In the university stage, people should strive to train their problem-solving abilities, learn to grasp the key points, see the essence through phenomena, and form various psychological "models" to deal with various problems. In addition to communication and problem-solving skills, self-directed learning ability has become an increasingly important foundational literacy for people facing the world in the era of artificial intelligence. When people have the ability to learn independently, they are no longer passive receivers of information when facing the world, but become active explorers of the world. Those with autonomous knowledge abilities can quickly adapt to the professional environment and maintain a growth state in the torrent of knowledge iteration. Their world will also expand and spread rapidly like a snowball. Of course, in higher dimensions, facing the world is still a fearless growth forward and upward. Faced with the ever-changing future, people often feel anxious and even fearful. They worry about accidents, setbacks, and failures, as well as the occurrence of various uncertain things. Various doubts and concerns often make people timid and fearful. And a person who can overcome numerous difficulties and reach the vision in their heart must possess the mental strength to face the uncertain world with a certain self, allow everything to happen, and not put gains, losses, honors, and disgrace in their heart. The world is diverse, life is ever-changing, and ideals are full of twists and turns. In college life, one of the most important qualities is the courage to deal with uncertainty. In order to better face the world, we need a sense of openness and conviction. People cannot face the world without any support. Why don't people avoid, retreat, and be cowardly when faced with various uncertain things? Be open and confident in your heart. Openness and conviction are attitudes towards life that people need to establish before entering society. With this attitude, the road can become wider and wider as one travels; Without this attitude, the world will also be bleak and cramped. Openness and conviction are a way of life that promises openness and composure towards the world. But openness and conviction must be reflected in action. From this perspective, facing the world is not just a posture or a state of mind, but also an action towards the world and fulfilling one's life. The fulfillment and integration of life are achieved through one thing and one practice. Only through concrete actions step by step can one reach the world and become a better version of oneself.
