Jiang Nansun listened quietly, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the edge of her notebook. She recalled Zhang Anren's expression when he mentioned Han Tao, saying that the lecturer "only reads from the PPT" and "his lectures are like hypnosis."

But the job guidance class just now, and the military theory class now, are both logically clear and full of vivid examples. Where is there a trace of rote learning?

While he was lost in thought, Han Tao's gaze paused slightly as it swept over Jiang Nansun, and then he naturally continued, "So we're not in a hurry to start teaching the textbook."

And first, I want to ask everyone a question: what do you think is the relationship between military theory and ordinary people's life planning?

There was a moment of silence in the audience; the question had clearly surprised many. Even Jiang Nansun hadn't expected him to ask such a question.

Han Tao had clearly anticipated this outcome. He turned around and wrote two words on the blackboard: "strategy" and "tactics".

"Life is like a battlefield." He turned around, his voice steady yet extremely penetrating. "Your choices after graduation—whether to take the postgraduate entrance exam, the civil service exam, or find employment—are tactics."

But true strategy lies in understanding why you chose this path, how to allocate resources, assess risks, and adjust your pace.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the young faces: "Therefore, most students don't lose because of tactical execution, but because of strategic ambiguity. Just like those armies in history that had excellent equipment but didn't know why they were fighting."

Jiang Nansun's grip on the pen tightened slightly. These words were like a key, suddenly unlocking a tightly closed box in her heart.

She recalled that when she was struggling with whether or not to pursue a doctorate, her father only said, "You should, because a higher degree will make it easier to get married."

Grandma often said, "What's the use of girls studying so much? It's better to get married and have children as soon as possible."

None of these people, including their own mothers, ever asked themselves, "What do you really want to achieve through a PhD? What is your long-term strategy?"

On the podium, Han Tao began to analyze classic strategic misjudgments in modern warfare, but he always managed to cleverly connect historical lessons with the career dilemmas of contemporary college students.

He suddenly changed the subject midway through his speech: "For example, many students are now blindly following the trend of taking the postgraduate entrance examination, which is like a charge without intelligence support."

You don't know where the enemy is, how many troops they have, or what the terrain is like. You just follow suit because you see others charging. The result is likely a war of attrition, wasting your most precious youthful resources.

A low murmur of agreement rippled through the audience. Some were taking notes, while others nodded knowingly.

Jiang Nansun quickly wrote the four characters "strategic clarity" in his notebook and drew a question mark next to it.

She looked up at the podium. Han Tao was walking to the blackboard, sketching a strategic situation map with simple lines. His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but every word touched people's hearts.

  

The sunlight streaming in through the window cast a pale golden halo over his profile. At that moment, Jiang Nansun suddenly realized clearly:

"This is definitely not a 'easy' lesson. And the person giving the lecture might help me see clearly the path that truly belongs to me amidst the many forks in the road."

She quietly picked up her phone and sent a new message to her best friend Zhu Suosuo: "Let's meet up for xiaolongbao another day. I think I might... have found the answer I've been looking for."

A low, resonant sound filled the classroom, and many students nodded subconsciously.

Jiang Nansun put down his phone and looked at the composed figure on the stage. He suddenly realized that this lesson had long transcended the scope of military knowledge; it was more like a mirror, reflecting the haste and blind obedience in everyone's heart.

Han Tao continued, "True strategy begins with a clear understanding of yourself. What kind of personality do you have? What are you good at? What are you willing to continuously invest in? The answers to these questions are more important than the rankings of any popular major."

As he spoke, he stepped down from the podium and slowly walked across the aisle between the seats: "Next, I will ask a few students to share their 'personal strategy drafts' for the next three years. They don't need to be perfect, but they must be authentic."

There was a moment of silence, then someone raised their hand. A boy wearing glasses stood up and nervously talked about his desire to start a business on the internet, but how his family opposed it.

Han Tao listened attentively and nodded: "Very good, at least you've seen the 'battlefield,' and family resistance is your risk factor."

So where is your "logistical support"? Where are your like-minded partners? Do you have a preliminary project prototype? Or is a small amount of funding available for trial and error?

The boy was stunned and fell into deep thought. More and more students began to try to organize their thoughts, and some even opened their notebooks on the spot and wrote their first "strategic analysis".

Jiang Nansun took a soft breath. She had never examined her life from this perspective before. Whether or not to pursue a doctorate was not only an academic choice, but also a matter of what kind of "initiative on the battlefield" she wanted to have in the future.

Zhang Anren always said that "stability is the best thing for a girl," and her father emphasized that "marriage is like a second reincarnation." But no one has ever regarded her as a "commander" who can independently plan and strategize for the future, as Han Tao does now.

During the break, she turned on her phone again, and Zhu Suosuo sent several more messages. Jiang Nansun's finger hovered over the screen for a moment before finally turning it off.

She looked up at Han Tao, who was talking with several students. He was sharing his experience of changing his major early in life and how he identified the right direction for himself from a failed attempt.

When the bell rang, the classroom was unusually quiet. Han Tao concluded by saying, "I'd like to leave you all with this: Your life is a battle you are in control of."

If you can be your own strategist, don't follow the crowd. Even if every step is small, a clear direction will lead to success. get out of class dismissed.

The students slowly stood up, but no one left the lecture hall. They remained in small groups discussing the topic, while others surrounded Han Tao, constantly asking him questions.

Jiang Nansun didn't leave immediately, but sat there watching Han Tao. She knew that some questions required her to actively seek answers herself.
