Should College Graduates Start Their Own
Business？
With the competition in
the job market becoming increasingly fierce for
college graduates， some ambitious students have
tried their hands at launching their own
businesses. Over the years， there have been many
successful cases of student entrepreneurship and
such attempts should be encouraged and promoted by
both the universities and the society at
large.
College students who start
businesses are pioneers， among whom will be born
China’s future business leaders. Faced with
unknown challenges， they are audacious enough to
embark on a perilous journey while most of their
peers enjoy stable salaries by working as white-
collars at high-end office buildings.
Nevertheless， they are the masters of their own
destiny and， exposed to many more uncertainties
and setbacks， they develop perseverance， stamina
and the indomitable spirit that are indispensible
to all the great entrepreneurs. Even if they fail，
they are not down; they keep exploring for new
business opportunities and work tirelessly until
they succeed. As people of vision， of individual
initiative， of leadership， and of creativity and
innovation， they represent the future and the hope
of a nation.
Not all college
graduates are suitable for undertaking
entrepreneurial projects. To launch a business，
one needs to have a sound business idea， a viable
business plan， the charisma to create a cohesive
team where members make concerted efforts for a
common objective， effective managerial skills， and
above all， the courage to compete against powerful
rivals and ultimately to prevail. The essential
difference between the students who become civic
servants in government organizations or employees
at leading domestic or multinational companies and
those who create their own businesses is that the
former are docile followers whereas the latter are
aggressive trailblazers. For this reason，
business-launching college graduates are more
admirable， and thus they command our deep
respect.
