In the process of education and teaching, students often relax their studies and forget their original goals because they are addicted to computers, TV and novels. In view of this situation, the teacher might as well tell them such a story:

Three hounds chased a groundhog, and the groundhog got into a tree hole. There was only one exit from the tree hole, but a short time later, a white rabbit emerged from the tree hole. Surrounded by three hounds, the rabbit ran forward quickly. The rabbit was in a hurry and climbed up another big tree in one breath. The rabbit lost its footing in the tree and suddenly fell down, causing all three hounds to look up. The rabbit took the opportunity to escape. After the story is finished, the teacher will ask the students, "Is there anything wrong with this story?"

Students may say, "Rabbits can't climb trees." "A rabbit can't stun three hounds at the same time."

……

It was not until the students couldn't find the question that the teacher said, "But there is still one question you haven't mentioned. Where is the groundhog? " While the students were thinking, the teacher started a topic to educate the students: "Groundhog is the target pursued by hounds. However, due to the appearance of rabbits, the hounds changed their goals and our thinking went wrong unconsciously. The groundhog disappeared in our minds. " In the process of pursuing the goal of life, we are sometimes fascinated by the scenery, sometimes interrupted by details, sometimes distracted by trivial matters, giving up halfway, losing our way, or going the wrong way, thus achieving our original goal.

"Students, the road of life is very long. There are both the temptation of exotic flowers and plants and the obstacles of mountains. You must always remind yourself where the groundhog is, and don't forget the life goal you originally pursued. "

2. pebbles and diamonds

"Why do we have to learn these useless things?"

This is the most common sentence that teachers hear from students' complaints and questions. In this case, we might as well tell students such a fable:

One night, a group of nomads were preparing to camp and rest when they were suddenly covered by a dazzling light. They know that God will appear soon, so they are eagerly waiting for God's will.

God appeared and began to speak: "You should pick up more pebbles along the way and put them in your saddle bag." Tomorrow night, you will be very happy, but you will also regret it. "

Say that finish, god disappeared. The herdsmen were very disappointed because they had expected that God would bring them endless wealth, health and longevity, but they didn't expect God to let them do this meaningless thing. However, in any case, this is God's will. Although they were somewhat dissatisfied, each of them picked up some pebbles and put them on their saddles.

In this way, they walked for another day. When night fell and they started camping, they suddenly found that every pebble they put into the saddle bag yesterday had turned into a diamond. They were very happy, but also regretted not picking up more pebbles.

Knowledge that feels useless now, like pebbles, may become endless wealth in the future.

3. Educate students not to despise others.

Tell the students a story about the eagle and the dung beetle, written by the ancient Roman philosopher Mizius.

An eagle chased a rabbit and tried to eat him. When the rabbit saw that he was desperate and helpless, he suddenly saw a dung beetles. The rabbit begged the dung beetle to help him and save him. The dung beetle promised to help him and protect him.

At this time, the eagle has caught up with him. The dung beetle said to him, "Please don't hurt the rabbit, because he is my servant." However, the dung beetle looks so small that the eagle doesn't take it seriously at all. The eagle strangled the rabbit and ate it with relish in front of dung beetles.

Dung beetles will never forget this humiliation. He is waiting for the eagle to build its nest. Soon, when he found the eagle's nest and saw the eagle put the egg in it, he quietly flew in and pushed the eagle's egg to the edge of Ying Chao, causing it to fall to the ground and break into pieces.

This eagle is full of sadness and anger. He flew to the sky and came to the throne of the gods, asking them to provide him with a safe place to nest and hatch eggs. God said, "When you hatch eggs again, you can put them in my arms to hatch." . Because you are my bird, I should take good care of you. "So, it happened like this.

However, when the dung beetle learned the truth, it immediately made a dung egg, then took it to the sky, came to the gods and threw it into its arms. The god found this dirty thing and wanted to shake it off, but forgot that there was an eagle egg in his arms; So I shook them off with the dung eggs. As a result, the eagle's eggs were all broken again.

Anyone who despises others will get revenge from others.

Educate students not to be greedy.

Tell the students a story about a duck laying golden eggs. The author is German poet Bu Waldis.

A poor farmer has a duck that can lay golden eggs; But it only gives birth once a week, and only one at a time. The farmer thought, "By the way, I should kill this duck so that I can get all the golden eggs in its belly in one day."

As soon as he started, he killed the duck, but he was immediately surprised to find what a stupid thing he had done: there was not even a golden egg in the duck's stomach. The farmer regretted it and secretly complained, "Alas, I really deserve bad luck!" " I don't want to have a golden egg every Monday, but I want more golden eggs. Now, my hope, my comfort and my interests are all in vain. Now I am really poor! "

When greed is not satisfied.

5. Educate students to do things by themselves.

Tell the students a story about quail and her baby, written by German poet Bu Waldis.

A quail is nesting in the middle of a wheat field. When her children grew up and the wheat turned yellow, she said to the little quails, "the day when farmers harvest wheat is coming." I'm going out to find you something to eat now. Stay in the nest while I'm away, and be careful not to be found. If the farmer comes, pay attention to what he says and when he cuts the wheat. We must play it by ear. "Say that finish, the old quail flew away.

After a while, the farmer took his son to the wheat field, looked at the wheat, and then said to his son, "The wheat is ripe. It's time for us to harvest. I will go to my neighbor's house early tomorrow morning to discuss with them and ask them to help us harvest. "

After a while, the old quail flew back with food for the children and asked them if they had heard anything. A little quail replied, "The farmer has come with his son. He said that he would ask his neighbors to help him cut the wheat tomorrow. "

The old quail said, "Don't be afraid, this wheat won't be cut all at once. Because those neighbors won't agree to help others so soon. "

Early the next morning, the old quail went out for food again. She said to the quails, "When the farmer wants to cut wheat, you should be careful and see if he can hear some new news." The farmer came again and said to his son, "I don't think anyone will come." These neighbors are unreliable. I'm going to talk to my relatives and friends and ask them to help us harvest tomorrow. If wheat is not cut, it will rot. "

When the old quails came home, the little quails chattered, "Mom, give it to us quickly."

Build a new nest somewhere else! The farmer will bring his relatives and friends to cut wheat tomorrow. "

However, the old quail replied, "dear children, those relatives and friends will not come to work in foreign farmland right away, so please pay attention to what the farmer says tomorrow!" " "

The next morning, the farmer and his son came again. The farmer took a sad look at the wheat field and said, "I think it is impossible to rely on the help of others, whether it is neighbors or relatives and friends." This crop can't be harvested today. Two sharp sickles have been put in the granary, and we will open them together tomorrow morning. This wheat can't be delayed any longer. "

Quails immediately told their mother the new news. The old quail listened and said, "Look, this is the real harvest season. It's time for us to move, so let's find another place to live Dear children, get up! If we stay here tomorrow morning, I'm afraid all our lives will be lost. "

Do your own thing; As the saying goes, the road is at your feet.

6. Let students realize that people can't be perfect.

Tell the students a sad story about peacocks, written by German poet Bu Waldis.

Peacock once complained in front of the Lord God Jupiter: "You made me so beautiful and decorated my feathers so beautifully, from the neck to the back;" My tail is colorful and shiny; I still wear a delicate crown on my head. The only fly in the ointment is, oh, God, I haven't got the voice you promised me. In this respect, all the birds look down on me; They laughed at my hoarse voice. You treat the nightingale better than me and other birds. You gave her a good voice. She often pleases people with her loud voice at night. Think about it, how can this nightingale not be praised by the poet? Oh, my songs can't compare with the nightingale at all, which makes me so sad. "

Then god said, "didn't you say you had beautiful feathers?" I have prepared gifts for every creation. The nightingale has a good voice and can sing beautiful songs, but her feathers are gray and unremarkable. However, she is very satisfied. So, you are content with your gorgeous feathers and don't care about the nightingale's voice! "

God gave everyone the talent he deserved, so no one should envy the talent God gave others.

7. Educate students not to be arrogant.

Tell the students a story about the "proud horse". The author is the German poet Bü Waldis.

A rich man has a tall horse. He had the horse put on a golden halter, an expensive and gorgeous saddle, and a silk carpet woven with gold thread. The horse watched helplessly as his master dressed up so beautifully for him, and he couldn't help but be elated and domineering.

One day, the horse was tied tightly. He broke free from the reins and rushed out of there screaming. At this time, a donkey came to him, carrying a heavy bag on his back and moving his legs slowly step by step. The horse chewed, foamed at the mouth and began to shout from a distance, "get out of the way!" " Who taught you to be so rude that you wouldn't let go of a horse like me? Get out, or I'll kill you and drag you out! "

The donkey was scared to death, so he quickly dodged and dared not say anything.

The horse rampaged through the bushes. However, when rushing through the bushes, his hoof crown was injured; So, from now on, he is no longer needed as a mount. The owner took the golden halter and beautiful saddle from him and sold it to a coachman. From this day on, he must pull the cart from morning till night.

Soon, the donkey saw him pulling a cart and said, "Hello, friend!" " What's the matter with you? Where are your golden halter and golden silk carpet? Why didn't I see them? That's it, dear friend. This is common in the world: arrogance will be punished. "

When happiness reaches its peak, misfortune often stands in front of the door; Don't get carried away!
