Reflections on the way of university 1 I finally finished reading the way of university renewal last night. It has five volumes and more than one hundred chapters. Sometimes I don't want to turn off the computer, sometimes I feel bored, but on the whole it's still very good. After all, its click-through rate is so high.
I want to record what I saw: was Lin bitten? Can you find such a prototype in real life? But whether I can find it or not, I still admire and respect him. Otherwise, how could so many beautiful girls get hurt for him? How can so many brave soldiers work for him? But what moved me most was the love between Lin Xiao and Han Bing. In the real world, I can find several couples who have been waiting for each other for more than ten years like them. Although Duan Tianhe's love is also very touching, there will be no tears like Lin Xiao's. Think about Lin Xiao's pursuit of Han Bing's shadow (and to fulfill his mother's last wish). At the peak of his career, he resolutely retired from the Jianghu, entered the cram school for the college entrance examination, then entered Chutian University, studied and lived in a low-key way, and even went to the library site to work as a coolie on the first day of school. But no matter how low-key he is, he makes people have a leadership style in all aspects. His opinions and suggestions are very insightful, and people have to pay attention to him and like him! In his career, he is also a man who has ideas, dares to do things and knows how to talk with people, which makes my daughter admire him very much!
I hope the ending of the story is happy. Lin Xiao and Han Bing are the best together, and they will not waste their 12 years of waiting for each other!
Reflections on the way of university 2. What is the way of university? Drake Bok gave us the best explanation in his book The Road to University.
The title of this book is Reflection and Prospect of Undergraduate Education in American Universities. At first glance, it seems to be for educators. For ordinary college students, it seems more appropriate to complain after reading. But from another angle, why can't this be the goal to make up for the lack of education?
The goal of university education put forward in the book is to learn to express, to think critically, to cultivate moral quality, to cultivate the quality of qualified citizens, to learn to live in a diversified campus, to prepare for a globalized society, to cultivate a wide range of interests, to prepare for a career, and so on.
Perhaps in universities, the education system is not perfect, but what efforts should we make ourselves?
In class and practice, can you bravely go to the stage and express your unique opinions? In the face of controversial issues around us and even in society, can we make independent and fair judgments? Besides studying specialized courses, can you really devote yourself to a multicultural campus? In the face of this increasingly connected world and a future where everything is possible, have we made a good career and life plan?
I think this is a problem that as a college student, I have to torture myself repeatedly.
After reading The Way of University, I read it in Section 3. Unexpectedly, there are such thoughtful books. Although it is a bit bitter to stand and read for four hours, reading valuable books is like a kind of physical and mental enjoyment. I'd like to select some of them as follows:
Drake Bok was the president of Harvard University from 197 1 to 199 1. On the basis of a large number of empirical studies, he investigated the gap between the progress made by American college students and the goal of undergraduate education. The conclusion drawn by the author is thought-provoking. Although most students have gained something in many important aspects, their abilities in writing, critical thinking, mathematical ability and moral reasoning are far from the expected level. Most senior college students believe that they have not made great progress in developing oral English, culture and aesthetics and preparing to become active and knowledgeable citizens. Generally speaking, although American universities have sufficient resources, advanced technology and hundreds of courses, they dare not say with confidence that today's college students have learned much more than 50 years ago.
Drake Bok further pointed out that many important university courses are now taught by inexperienced teachers. Although many teaching methods have appeared, many professors still follow those teaching methods that have proved to be inefficient. However, in the curriculum reform, teachers turn a blind eye to these phenomena. Teachers talk more about teaching content, but seldom know that teaching methods have a far-reaching impact on college students.
At the end of this book, the author puts forward some suggestions to university teachers and university leaders on improving the academic level of college students. Although the achievements of American universities are gratifying, the author's criticism of teachers is enlightening.
Today, with the deepening of globalization, looking back at the higher education in China, we can easily find that the problems in higher education in China are far more than these. As a learning reference, I think contemporary college students should at least improve themselves from the following aspects:
First, learn to express (mainly written expression and oral expression), so it is suggested that universities offer writing courses and oral practice courses for beginners.
Second, learn to think. Students should have the ability of independent thinking and critical spirit.
Third, cultivate moral character.
Fourth, cultivate qualified citizens.
5. Living in a diversified campus.
Sixth, prepare for a globalized society.
Seven, cultivate a wide range of interests.
Eight, prepare for your career.
I feel that although our current education can't meet this requirement, everything is a gradual process. At this time, what we have to do is to start from ourselves, improve ourselves and make everyone progress, and the expected educational effect should be achievable.
Reflections on the road to university. University, middle school and primary school. This arrangement seems interesting. If the growth experience I have mastered is regarded as a number, then this arrangement is my reciprocal. It is not an exaggeration to say that, because in the 20 years of existence, they occupied 13 years. Since I was a child, I have been conscientious on the road of learning and full of yearning for the university. Then, when I picked up the textbook "Chinese in China", I came across the article "The Way of University" and started my thinking about universities.
In ancient times, people went to school, entered primary school at the age of eight, and entered university at the age of fifteen. It seems that college is for adults. When the counselor gave us the first class meeting in college, he enlarged the word college and put it on the blackboard, heavily marked the word "big", and then expounded the rich word "big". It not only refers to the large-scale buildings such as teaching buildings, but also refers to the great knowledge, wisdom and ideas in this environment. Buildings, lakes, gates and avenues in universities are not the pillars supporting universities. Universities are great because of their masters, great events, great men and big libraries. The simple exposition of the word "Da" contains a thousand words of persuasion and a thousand words of enlightenment.
An ancient philosopher said that educating people is the foundation and moral education is the first. It is in the first sentence of "The Way of the University" that the way of the university is to be virtuous, to be close to the people and to stop at the best. It is very important for a person to explicitly mention virtue. The article revolves around this sentence, which is summarized as "three categories" and "eight orders" in the fifteenth volume of Yu Saito Ziwen Category. The three principles are to be moral, to be close to the people, and to stop at perfection. The "eight cardinal principles" refer to "respecting things, knowing and doing, sincerity, integrity, self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world".
Then I'll start with the university road. Tao is the "Tao" of Tao and the way to the goal. Using roads to compare the laws behind things gives people a more intuitive feeling. Laozi said: Tao can be Tao, but it is not constant, which means that people can master some laws of the development of things through learning and thinking. However, what is feasible today may not be feasible tomorrow, and things have changed. He emphasized the possibility of knowing the world, the limitation of knowing things, and the impermanence of everything in the world. This is similar to what the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said, "One cannot step into the same river twice". Of course, Laozi's Tao is more natural, while Confucius' Tao emphasizes human's Tao. The way of university is to master excellent knowledge. Adults study Chinese studies from universities, and Zhu and others also said that they didn't enter imperial academy until they were fifteen years old. Before I was in primary school, I mainly studied washing and sweeping, primary etiquette and writing foundation. After the age of fifteen, those who have spare time to study and have lofty ideals begin to learn the way of university. Confucius said, "Disciple, you are filial when you enter, but you are young when you leave. You will sincerely believe that you will treat others well. I have spare capacity to study literature. " "University" emphasizes self-cultivation. Self-cultivation means constantly correcting one's behavior according to the changes of the external environment, so as to adapt to and approach the right path. Just like when driving a car, people need to constantly correct their own direction in order not to deviate from the right path. So is the practice of life. The way of a university is to be well-known. What is well-known? According to Confucianism, it is to carry forward the goodness in human nature, which involves ordinary people and can be understood as carrying forward their own strengths. In other words, not everything is clear, but there is a key point, because everyone has their own characteristics and strengths, know themselves, know their strengths, and carry forward, that is, be clear about virtue. According to Confucian tradition, "being close to the people" should be interpreted as promoting Confucian ideals and moral concepts. For ordinary people, it is to give full play to their strengths, be brave in practice and make a difference. What is the' purpose' of doing sth? According to the "university", it means "stop at doing good". In a broad sense, the understanding of "being good" is to achieve the highest ideal advocated by Confucianism, such as establishing a Datong society. Speaking of ordinary people, you can define your ideal goals according to the specific situation. What matters is the process and method.
After improving my virtue and ability through self-cultivation, the next step is to further expand the scope of practice, that is, to manage the family, govern the country and level the world. Confucius said, "It's a pleasure to learn from the times. It is such a delight to have friends coming so far. If you don't know, you are not a gentleman. " In other words, it is a very happy thing to learn the way of life and practice it constantly. It is happier to have like-minded people come from afar to discuss the way of life together. Even if no one understands our talents or has no chance to practice our ideals, we are still a gentleman with a great sense of accomplishment!
Walk past an ancient university and step into a modern university. Everyone who has been to college has a different definition and understanding of college, but it is undeniable that college is the best time in our life, and everyone has their own feelings about college life. In my opinion, my first thing is to have a rich brain and good speculative ability. Whether you are interested in your major or don't want to continue your research in this major, after all, undergraduate education is not for everyone, but you have to study, and you should read as many books as possible and read well. Books can fill readers' spiritual satisfaction and enrich their cognitive horizons. Reading is the best way to get the nutrition the brain needs, and a lot of reading can shape people's critical thinking ability and ability to learn new knowledge. The second thing is to cultivate and develop your hobbies or specialties. In college, it's not just the competition for academic performance, sometimes you will find that a specialty will bring you many unexpected surprises. In college, people with special skills will appear more confident. The heroic posture, graceful dancing, loud voice and excellent chess skills on the sports field can bring you endless self-confidence. Even if your words occasionally appear in newspapers and magazines, it can also bring you a good reputation of talented people and talented women. The third thing is to have a few sincere and close friends in college. People without friends are boring. It is easy to be attacked by loneliness and boredom in college. One more friend means less loneliness and more happiness. Friends are life boosters: on the one hand, they can enrich your life, on the other hand, they can make you interesting.
University is a book, and everyone has their own feelings after reading it. When we first entered the university campus and opened this book, we were full of curiosity and yearning. I hope each of us can read this book carefully. I hope that when we close this book, we will leave a lasting and beautiful memory.
Reflections on the road to university. The way of university is to be moral and close to the people, and stop at perfection.
University refers to the study of adults and the study of gentlemen. Tao refers to the study of natural and social laws and great wisdom. The Tao here should also have an explanation, that is, the ways and methods of learning. Mingde refers to the potential and innate goodness of human beings. The basic judgment of Confucianism on human nature is that human nature is good. Therefore, Confucian scholars generally believe that a person is endowed with good moral character. At this point, similar to the Buddhist view founded by Sakyamuni, everyone has Buddha nature. According to Zhu, being close to the people can be understood as that a person should not only know his own virtue, but also push himself and others to help others acquire good virtue. Being close to the people can also be understood as loving others and being close to others. These two explanations are not contradictory. Stop here refers to achieving the goal, and doing good refers to the highest goal and realm of life.
"Mingde", "being close to the people" and "stopping at doing good" are called the three major programs of "University".
Although there are only a few words at the beginning, its meaning is extremely profound and important, and it is the core idea of "University".
The knowledge and method of being a man lies in discovering human nature and nature, which is in line with the heaven of harmony between man and nature. The correct way to be a man is not only to be a person who conforms to the way of heaven and earth, but also to help others live and work according to the way of heaven and earth. The ultimate goal of being a man is to reach the highest state of man, that is, to be a man whose morality conforms to the way of heaven and earth, and to be a man of self-improvement. According to Taoist theory, people who do good deeds are natural people, and they are pure and inaction people. According to the truth of Buddhism, a person who does good is a person who gets rid of greed, anger and delusion, and is a thoroughly conscious person. Therefore, all the great thinkers in human history have the same view on the most fundamental issue of being a man.
The significance of learning classics is by no means reciting, but guiding people's lives with the ideas in classics, so that everyone knows how to cherish the meaning and value of life, and will not waste their time, let alone fall into the region in ignorance.
Zhi Zhi then decided: calm down first and then be quiet; Be quiet before you can be safe; Worry first; Think about it before you take it. Things start and end, and things end. If you know the order, you will find a shortcut.
This passage is easy to understand literally, but its importance lies in pointing out the most important key point in life, that is, a person must know his highest goal in life. If a person knows that the highest goal of his life is to be natural, to be kind to others and to be fully conscious, he can finally achieve this goal, thus achieving self-improvement and self-transcendence.
Here, we can also learn the wonderful use of logical reasoning. From the classic study, we can know that the ancients studied the logic of things deeply and reached a very skilled level, which is still very worthy of our modern people's serious study.
In reality and history, many people have failed or even failed. The fundamental reason is that they have wasted their lives and failed to understand the true meaning of life.
After a person thoroughly understands his great goal in life, he can settle his heart and not be fascinated by the outside world; If a person's mind is peaceful, he can go his own way firmly on the journey of life like a calm sea; A person who can achieve peace of mind and pure heart will naturally become stable, and such a person will stay away from impetuousness; A person with a stable mind can think deeply and analyze and look at the world more objectively; A person who is good at thinking and objectively analyzing things will eventually realize his lofty goals and his personal ideals. Everything has its essence and details, and everything has its consistency. If one can understand the essence of things and their internal structure and levels; If one can understand the whole story of things; If a person can know the sequence of things, such a person can be called a person who knows the way of university or a person with great wisdom.
A careful study of this passage will help people understand the weaknesses of human nature and the ways to overcome them. The biggest problem of people in reality is that they have not established lofty aspirations and goals. Therefore, most people will be guided by the external environment and its changes in their lives and go with the flow. Such a person can't be calm, calm and sincere, and calm and thoughtful. So we see that most people in the world have nothing to do all their lives, but groan and sigh feebly when they are near the end of their lives. If I know this, why should I know it? This is also a great significance and value of reading the Bible, right?
Life is a process in which a person constantly overcomes his human weakness, and constantly perfects and purifies his soul through learning and cultivation. Although he has to manage all kinds of pains in the process of cultivation, life really has a rare happiness.
If the ancient desire is obviously superior to the world, rule the country first; If you want to govern your country, you should first get your family together; If you want to reunite with your family, you should first repair your body; If you want to cultivate yourself, you should be upright first; If you want to be correct, be sincere first; If you want to be sincere, let him know first. Knowledge exists in things. Things are known; Knowing it is sincere; Sincerity before righteousness; Put your mind right and practice again; After the body is repaired, the family is clean and tidy; Family harmony, and then national governance; The country rules and the world is at peace. From Tian Zi to Shu Ren, one is based on self-cultivation.
In this paragraph, there are eight "universities", which refer to discipline, knowledge, honesty, honesty, self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world. Everyone is familiar with the words that make up these eight items, but they may not know much about their profound connotations and relationships. Why do you see it? Everyone examines his daily behavior, and then examines the behavior of people around him. The conclusion is self-evident. So the ancients have long pointed out that it is easier said than done.
In ancient times, if people want to show their virtues to the world, they must first govern their own country; If you want to govern the country well, you must first manage your own family; If you want to run a good family, you must first improve your moral cultivation; If you want to improve your moral cultivation, you must first correct your heart; To correct your heart, you must first make your thoughts sincere; If you want to make your thoughts sincere, you must first explore the regular knowledge of nature, society and things.
In order to acquire regular knowledge about nature, society and things, people need to have in-depth and close contact with things, so as to fully and thoroughly understand the nature and attributes of things; Only when people understand the basic laws and essence of nature and society can they achieve the sincerity of their thoughts; Only on the basis of sincerity can people reach correct thoughts and views; Only when people have correct concepts and values can they consciously pay attention to their own moral cultivation; Only when people have noble moral cultivation can they manage their families well; People manage their families well, so that every family can live in harmony, and a country can be governed well; When all countries are well governed, the world will naturally become peaceful. From the emperor to the common people, we should take self-cultivation as the foundation.
Here, people once again feel the beauty of Confucian thinkers using logical reasoning methods. By reasoning, they make it clear how to become a gentleman. Everything has a beginning and an end, and everything has an end As long as people consciously follow the order of "respecting things", "knowing and doing", "honesty" and "righteousness", they will eventually get a complete life.
If it goes wrong in the end, it can't be cured. Thick is thin, thin is thick, nothing!
Here refers to the essence of things and people, and finally refers to the details of things. The truth of this passage is that if a person's nature has great problems, he can't be a good person, let alone a Taoist master. The same is true of this kind of thinking in doing things. If a person does not grasp the core essence of things, he can't do things well, including the details. From the above theory, we can draw the following conclusions: if a person does not do his own thing well, he can't do bigger things, let alone run the country and level the world. A cultured person can't do shallow and unreasonable things, and a person who doesn't pay attention to cultivation can't do anything good, and it is impossible to accomplish a great thing automatically and spontaneously. The reason here is completely in line with the causal law of nature. No cause, no effect. "As you sow, you reap" is indeed an eternal truth!
Learning "University" makes people understand that people should cultivate their own morality as early as possible in life. Only by repairing yourself first can you become a valuable person to society and live in the world once. I hope more people in the world can learn the classics of human culture, constantly improve their moral quality and make more contributions to the cause of benefiting all mankind.
