管敏鑫说:自己的求学成才之路,从来没有平坦过。15岁那年,他参加了恢复高考制度的第一次招生考试,报的是文科,虽然初试通过,但最终未能如愿;半年之后,1978年夏季招生开始,他改考理科,还是以数分之差名落孙山。1979年,他终以优良的成绩被杭州大学生物系录取,从此与生物结了缘。当年的高考竞争十分激烈,乐清市大荆区200多名考生中考上本科的仅五六人,他就是其中之一。大学四年,由于家庭经济拮据,管敏鑫几乎全靠国家提供的助学金完成学业。在大学里,他成绩不是最优秀,仅中等偏上。后来,每每谈到这种情况时,他都会深有体会地说:“其实,评价一个学生,成绩不应该是唯一重要的指标。重要的是有没有潜力,有没有学习之外的能力,为人及其他素质。现在很多竞争是靠综合实力的,而不仅仅靠成绩好坏,我大学同学70来人,而今在国外做教授的寥寥无几。”管敏鑫还举例说,2003年日本的诺贝尔奖化学奖获得者田中耕一就是一个典型例子,他在大学念书时的成绩不是很优秀,虽然只拥有本科学历,而且没有加入任何学会,在国内也没有任何得奖记录,在他43岁时却出人意料地获得了诺贝尔奖。这个例子说明一点:成功的必要素质就是锁定一个目标,不随波逐流,始终如一、坚持不懈地努力,直至成功。
