A teacher called the parents of a child and said to his mother in front of the child, "Your son is a real failure. He almost failed in class. It is hard for me to say what his future is like! "
The mother said to the child, "What do you have to say? What do you think your future will be like? "
The child stood up and said to his teacher; "With all due respect, please don't call me a loser. Failure is an event, not personal. Teacher, you mentioned the future, but you didn't help us prepare. "
The teacher also said in surprise, "I want to hear your opinion."
The student went on to say, do you agree that in the future, most occupations will be automated, so to succeed, you must be curious, innovative and adaptable to change. The school does not emphasize these, but emphasizes lectures and exams according to the book. Creativity is the most important leadership skill in today's world. You may not believe what I said, but 65,438+0,500 executives said that creativity is the most important leadership skill. It is not enough to have knowledge in the workplace. Who cares what knowledge you have and whether you have memorized any information? We have Baidu and artificial intelligence to do these things. In the future, we should be able to make good use of knowledge in the workplace and solve real-world problems with creative thinking. Instead of just answering multiple-choice questions according to the instructions. We should stop taking these mechanical classes at school. Because no one can do the work of robots, we are better than robots. Ma Yun, founder of Alibaba, said that we should not compete with artificial intelligence. Focus on developing human unique wisdom. Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, also agreed.
If you continue yesterday's teaching methods for a few days, then you will deprive our students of their future. If you really care about our future as you say, then you must devote yourself wholeheartedly and ask yourself sincerely, how can I help my children prepare for a future that doesn't exist yet? Give you a hint, you can't find the answer in the book, you have to rely on your brain and heart to feel it.
In the future, we need more enthusiasm, sympathy, enlightenment and wisdom to improve the world. I may not be a top student, but I'm not stupid. These exams account for 70% of my grades, but only 0% of my future. I will study hard, but I need you to give me some space to be myself. Because the best feeling in the world is that your parents know you.
There is a saying that your children are not yours, they are children of life and the desire of life itself. They were born through you, but not from you. Although they are with you, they don't belong to you. You can give them love, but don't give them thoughts, because they have their own thoughts. Your house can provide them with shelter, but it can't keep their souls alive. Because their souls live in the house of tomorrow.
We are talking about the future, but the future is the present, and the future is created by all of us until now.
