作文：Knowledge and diploma 文凭和知识

With the development of the society, more and more people enroll in the postgraduate examination for getting a high diploma. It is believed that high diploma equals to high ability and profound knowledge. Most companies are inclined to hire the people with high diploma. It seems that having high diploma means a better future.


However, is it really true that high diploma equals to high ability or profound knowledge? Some people do not agree on this kind of idea. They claim that ability or knowledge means more than diploma. Take Bill Gates, the head of the Microsoft, for example, he does not have a MBA degree which is believed to play a vital role in the success in commercial life. Furthermore, Sam Walton of Wal---Mart Stores Inc. does not a MBA degree, but they are the most successful man in commercial.


In my opinion, diploma does not equal to knowledge. A diploma is a piece of paper which establishes your education degree. But your true ability and the real knowledge come from your hard work and endowment. If you got a diploma by dishonest behavior, no matter how high a diploma it is, it were just a piece of paper, and you were as blank as that paper.
随着社会的发展，越来越多的人报考研究生以获得高级文凭。人们相信，高文凭意味着高能力和渊博的知识。大多数公司倾向于雇佣高学历的人。看来拥有高级文凭意味着更美好的未来。


然而，高文凭真的等于高能力或高深的知识吗？有些人不同意这种想法。他们声称能力或知识不仅仅意味着文凭。以微软总裁比尔盖茨（billgates）为例，他没有MBA学位，人们认为MBA学位对商业生活的成功起着至关重要的作用。此外，沃尔玛公司的山姆·沃尔顿没有MBA学位，但他们是商业领域最成功的人。


在我看来，文凭并不等于知识。文凭是一张纸，用来确定你的学历。但你真正的能力和真正的知识来自你的努力和天赋。如果你通过不诚实的行为获得了一张文凭，不管它有多高，它只是一张纸，你和那张纸一样空白。
