如果你認(rèn)為如同中國高考一樣成績決定一切，擁有傲人的SAT成績和績點(diǎn)4.0就可以進(jìn)入美國頂尖名校嚼黔？那我想說细层，還是別浪費(fèi)生命了，你還是花點(diǎn)時(shí)間干點(diǎn)別的唬涧，早點(diǎn)放棄進(jìn)名校的打算疫赎！因?yàn)槊绹Ｒ哺静恍枰挥泻贸煽兊哪悖∥蚁敫嬖V你的是碎节，帶著優(yōu)秀成績單的申請塞滿了各大頂尖高校的郵箱捧搞，說的再明白一些，好成績只能說明你才剛剛有資格去申請美國名校狮荔。 或許你又要說你不僅有好的成績胎撇，你還參加過很多社會(huì)活動(dòng)，去過海外游學(xué)轴合，擁有名企實(shí)習(xí)创坞，大牛們的推薦信那應(yīng)該沒什么問題了吧？我想說受葛，這也沒什么了不起的题涨，你只能說是剛剛有了那么點(diǎn)去和別人競爭資格而已，你的競爭者遠(yuǎn)比你想象的優(yōu)秀总滩。而且你知道的套路纲堵，別人為什么不知道？闰渔！我知道你們會(huì)問席函，那應(yīng)該怎么辦，最應(yīng)該做什么才能讓自己在申請中有競爭力冈涧，我想說茂附，你需要慶幸自己在此刻讀到了這篇文章正蛙，請仔細(xì)認(rèn)真全神貫注閱讀下面的內(nèi)容。

當(dāng)然营曼，在中國乒验，學(xué)生有無數(shù)的暑期項(xiàng)目以及課后活動(dòng)來去海外游學(xué)。但是你以為參加這么些活動(dòng)就能獲得成功嗎蒂阱？未免太天真锻全！你的競爭者如此優(yōu)秀，如果你和他們一樣學(xué)習(xí)录煤，是什么給你的自信讓你覺得你會(huì)脫穎而出鳄厌？或許到最后你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，有一個(gè)此時(shí)被嚴(yán)重低估妈踊，很少被提起的項(xiàng)目：學(xué)習(xí)創(chuàng)業(yè)思維的軟實(shí)力了嚎，這才是你最需要學(xué)會(huì)的技能！

在美國响委，學(xué)生參加與創(chuàng)業(yè)有關(guān)的訓(xùn)練營是很普遍的,而在國內(nèi)很少有這樣的機(jī)會(huì)新思。我曾經(jīng)與美國基礎(chǔ)教育和高等教育中的許多學(xué)校合作過，發(fā)現(xiàn)國內(nèi)竟然鮮少有學(xué)校會(huì)開設(shè)針對創(chuàng)業(yè)的課程赘风！因此，我?guī)ьI(lǐng)CampusPM創(chuàng)立CYBF創(chuàng)習(xí)中心的最大動(dòng)力就是為了填補(bǔ)這一空白纵刘，并且使它成為這一教育模式的先驅(qū)邀窃，你以為創(chuàng)習(xí)精神可以僅僅存在就好？我可以告訴你假哎，它必將成為一個(gè)非常關(guān)鍵的因素瞬捕！

習(xí)慣于死記硬背的中國學(xué)生應(yīng)該開始感覺到恐慌了！畢竟當(dāng)今有很多頂尖大學(xué)的招生官海外正在積極尋求有創(chuàng)業(yè)精神——勇敢和創(chuàng)新的學(xué)生舵抹，這對你們來說難道不是一個(gè)巨大的挑戰(zhàn)嗎肪虎？在現(xiàn)今全球化的世界，如果你正在嘗試進(jìn)入商業(yè)領(lǐng)域惧蛹，踏上創(chuàng)業(yè)研究項(xiàng)目等扇救，創(chuàng)業(yè)精神是必不可少的 （我對此非常無比認(rèn)真！）香嗓。我們選擇的最好的執(zhí)行方式迅腔，是鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生參加創(chuàng)業(yè)創(chuàng)新的輔導(dǎo)活動(dòng)和比賽來證明自己認(rèn)識(shí)問題和解決問題的能力。現(xiàn)在很多學(xué)術(shù)缺乏創(chuàng)造力靠娱，在這樣的活動(dòng)中沧烈，學(xué)生通常被分配進(jìn)一個(gè)項(xiàng)目，在有限的時(shí)間內(nèi)與團(tuán)隊(duì)成員完成該項(xiàng)目像云，學(xué)習(xí)如何在有限的時(shí)間內(nèi)快速制定有效的解決方案锌雀。事實(shí)上蚂夕，這些技能和經(jīng)驗(yàn)可以受到頂尖院校的招生官的高度青睞，說不定你與眾多競爭者之間的差距腋逆，正是這么一些新穎的技能呢婿牍！

以防還有人還不清楚，那我再次重申：創(chuàng)業(yè)思維的軟實(shí)力就是一種關(guān)鍵的軟技能闲礼，你敢于冒險(xiǎn)嗎牍汹？你具有很強(qiáng)的個(gè)性特征？你擁有很強(qiáng)的人際交往能力嗎柬泽？那么批判性和創(chuàng)造性思維能力了慎菲？實(shí)踐技能呢？以上這些才是真正的創(chuàng)業(yè)思維軟實(shí)力锨并！別再把創(chuàng)業(yè)叫做“創(chuàng)業(yè)”去迷惑別人了露该！創(chuàng)業(yè)的定義可不局限于商業(yè)的范疇！

并且很明顯第煮，對于想進(jìn)入頂級(jí)院校的美國學(xué)生來說解幼，參加創(chuàng)業(yè)輔導(dǎo)活動(dòng)已成為一種新趨勢，創(chuàng)新精神的存在感已經(jīng)如此強(qiáng)大包警，你還在等什么撵摆！你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)越來越多的中國學(xué)生努力增強(qiáng)競爭力；你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這些競爭力越來越趨向于那些在他們大學(xué)申請上寫上的技能害晦；你還會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這些技能竟然多數(shù)都是從活動(dòng)中獲得特铝！所以我可以毫不夸張地說，獲得創(chuàng)業(yè)思維的軟實(shí)力注定要成為最重要的終身技能之一 壹瘟！

最后鲫剿，誰說的“關(guān)于培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)業(yè)精神最大的誤解是鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生經(jīng)濟(jì)獨(dú)立和經(jīng)營企業(yè)，而忽視學(xué)業(yè)”稻轨？聽著灵莲，這顯然不是我這篇文章的觀點(diǎn)，并且我本人也覺得這是是一種極不負(fù)責(zé)任和令人難以置信的愚蠢態(tài)度殴俱！真正可取的想法是政冻，把創(chuàng)業(yè)精神看成是高等教育為未來的職業(yè)生涯的所做的準(zhǔn)備。如果有人固執(zhí)認(rèn)為粱挡，學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)創(chuàng)業(yè)思維的軟實(shí)力是鼓勵(lì)他們?nèi)プ錾庠唬拥羲麄兤綍r(shí)的學(xué)業(yè)，那顯然不明白所這個(gè)技能的內(nèi)涵所在询筏，我覺得需要買一本書讀讀榕堰，多看看新聞.....否則也太令人感到尷尬了！

以下為英文原文：

Hidden secret to enter a top US university: Learn entrepreneurial skills

In hopes of getting accepted to prestigious colleges, students around the world?engage in fierce competition?to attain excellent grades and test scores. The problem is they are not the only ones who have the perfect SAT scores and 4.0 GPA. Inundated with applications?that boast perfect test scores and grades, the best colleges?now need?other factors?to distinguish?bright, motivated?candidates.

Oh, and let’s definitely not forget the countless summer programs and barrage of after school activities offered to students looking to study overseas in China.But you will find there is one that is extremely underrated at the moment and rarely mentioned: learning entrepreneurial skills.

It is quite common for students in the United States to?participate?in entrepreneurship-related boot camps. However, not many opportunities present for Chinese students in China.Given that I have worked with multiple schools as my clients across the K-12 and higher education field, I find it extremely surprising that barely any school focuses on entrepreneurial education for students, which is in stark contrast with what happens in the United States. Besides,?the biggest motivating factor for creating CYBF in the first place was to fill that void and become the pioneer of this form of education for students.

Today many top-tier college admission officers overseas are actively seeking students who?have entrepreneurial mindsets—both courageous and innovative.In a globalized world of today, it doesn’t matter if you are looking to enter the corporate world, embark on pioneering research projects etc, entrepreneurial mindsets are imperative (I’m totally serious about this).A great way to make this happen is if students participated in entrepreneurial workshops and competitions to demonstrate their ability to recognize a problem and creativity to solve problem, which there is a lack of. In such events, students are typically assigned a project to?complete?with team members within limited time. From this, they learn how to?develop effective solutions quickly within?limited?time. These types of skills and experiences, indeed, are highly desired by admission officers of top-tier colleges.

In case anyone is confused, entrepreneurial skills are an assortment of critical soft skills - willingness to take risks, strong personal characteristics, interpersonal skills, critical and creative thinking skills and finally practical skills. Why call it entrepreneurial to confuse everyone? The very definition of entrepreneurial is not limited to the context of business.

Evidently, attending entrepreneurial workshops has become a new trend for American students who are aiming for top-tier colleges.More and more Chinese students strive to increase their competitiveness by including skills that were acquired from various events in their college?application, so picking up entrepreneurial skills needs to be highlighted as one of the most important lifelong skills!

Finally, the biggest misconception about developing entrepreneurial mindsets is encouraging students to become financially independent, ignore their studies and run businesses.This is NOT what this article is trying to say and it is an extremely irresponsible and incredibly stupid attitude to adopt; rather the point that should be taken is the mindset that can be applied in higher education as well as future career lives. If anyone still thinks that students learning entrepreneurial skills means encouraging them to run a business and throw away their grades, clearly doesn’t understand what this skill actually means, and clearly needs to buy a book and watch the news more... embarassing!
