Discover yourself first, then take advantage of it

1 what u lack is sth that cannot be taught.
This is what the principal said to the Big-Eyed Monster.
2 The big-eyed monster looked at the outstanding seniors with admiration, and the dialogue with his companions:
A. see what they all have in common? Do they have anything in common?
B. no.
A. exactly!
A.. there is no one type of scarer. the best scarer is using the difference to their advantage. Monsters are not the same. The best monsters must know how to use their uniqueness and make the best of it.
The irony is that Big Eyes worked hard for the whole movie, but in the end he didn't become a good monster. He finally lost the game, was expelled from Monster University, and only worked as a mailman in the Monster Company.
This also confirms what the principal said, you are not the material, so you can't teach it.
It can also be seen from this that the author places more emphasis on the former between innate aptitude and acquired effort. This also confirms the American education concept that always focuses on individual differences and cultivates from differences, rather than one-size-fits-all.
Really good movie. Discover yourself before you can take advantage of it.
