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.随着社会的发展，越来越多的人为了获得高级文凭而参加研究生考试。人们认为，高学历等于高能力和渊博的知识。大多数公司倾向于雇用具有高级文凭的人。看来拥有高学历意味着更美好的未来。
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.然而，高学历真的等于高能力或渊博的知识吗？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·盖茨为例，他并没有MBA学位，而MBA学位被认为对商业生活的成功起着至关重要的作用。此外，沃尔玛股份有限公司（Wal-Mart Stores Inc.）的萨姆·沃尔顿（Sam Walton）没有MBA学位，但他们是商业领域最成功的人。
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.在我看来，文凭并不等于知识。文凭是一张纸，用来证明你的学历。但你真正的能力和真正的知识来自于你的勤奋和禀赋。如果你通过不诚实的行为获得了文凭，无论文凭有多高，它都只是一张纸，而你和那张纸一样空白。
