"God eat god."--This is a slogan in the post of NUS art festival,which you can see everywhere in the campus.But actually this blog has nothing to do with the art festival. It is just my idea of this sentence--"God eat god."
Several weeks ago,I watched the movie called"Pirates of Silicon Valley"(硅谷传奇).It talked about the story of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.In this movie Bill is a treacherous man.He stole the idea of Jobs and finally became the great winner in the PC market.However,Jobs was also not a good guy.He made his workers to work day and night.He always lost his temper to anyone he did not like,also to his employees.Finally his friend dropped him and he was driven out by his own company.
Yesterday(last Sunday),I watched the movie<the social network>which is about Mark Zuckerberg,the man who established the Facebook.Just like the name of the novel from which the film was adapted from--The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, a Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal.From the movie,I can see many things related to sex,money and betrayal.(Although Mark was very unhappy with this movie because he thought that many things are artificial.)Mark ,a genius,achieved success through the way of stealing, cheating and betraying,just like what Bill had done.He even betrayed his best friend who had supported him all the way.I cannot even believe it,but it is true.
We always admire those successful man in this competitive sociaty, just like Jobs, Bill, Mark and someone else.We are jealous because they are smart, brilliant,and finally they all become wealthy and change the whole world.But we seldom think about what they really have done to achieve success.For success,they can do anything,sacrifice anything,even friendship and courtship.They value their reputation but they do something ugly behind the public.
So, now let's talk about the slogan.Nowadays,our world is just like a world of DOG.In the world,dog eats dog and finally there will be only a few dogs which can survive.And then,they put on an expensive suit, make themselves up and finally they become GOD who is admired by everyone.
So,GOD may be just a DOG.
Some people may try to succeed by all means, but they may lose something important as well.I think we can simply don't follow them. At the same time, don't admire the noble man too much because they are not god, just human.
ReplyDeletei think you should not be so surprised about the facts about bill and jobs since no one is perfect. when we see these famous and brilliant people from our ordinary eyes maybe it's our fault to regard them as God.
