I read the greeting card that Bill Gates wrote to his mother on 1975 Mother's Day, and I was inspired a lot. "Mom, you never said I was inferior to others" caused me to ponder.

It can be said that I grew up with such encouragement. The word "not worse than others" seems ordinary, but it does contain the mother's love for her children, as well as her infinite hope and encouragement for her children.

When I was born, my father was a soldier guarding the frontier of the motherland. I never dared to go out to play alone in my childhood because I didn't have my father around. After my mother found out, she began to exercise my courage by letting me sleep alone. In order to help me regain my confidence, my mother used the word "man" to address me early. Every morning after getting up, my mother would say, "A man is like my father again."

At school age, just in time for the successful launch of China Shenzhou-1 spacecraft. When I watched the spaceship travel in space, I was very envious. After knowing this, my mother lost no time in saying, "You must learn how to fly a spacecraft before you go to space." When I knew that this skill can only be learned in the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, I buried a dream in my heart and must be admitted to this university when I grow up. Until now, whenever I get good grades, I will.

It is with this confidence that I have grown from a child who is afraid to go out to play alone to a middle school student who has many happy online reading companions and is making continuous progress in my studies.

As the saying goes, "Good children are boastful." Gates' mother never said that her children were worse than others. This is definitely not conniving at the child, but she knows that the child really needs this kind of "encouragement." Only put down "I can do it!" I can learn what I don't know and don't understand. "Only children can summon up the courage to accept challenges and dare to fight for their ideals and goals.

Like Gates, people all over the country believe that scientists in China are no worse than others, and that scientists in China have created many "Made in China", even the manned flight of Shenzhou.

The ancients said: "Everything is easy to stand first, and it must be broken first!" This process needs courage, and courage comes from cultivation and encouragement in the process of growth.

Never say that you are inferior to others, let me understand that it is normal to encounter problems that you don't understand and can't learn, which is the meaning of students' "living" for learning.

Never say that I am worse than others, just like a gas station, encourage me to forge ahead towards the next goal.

I grew up from a naive child to a middle school student who can understand "x+y=9", thanks to my mother's never saying that "men are inferior to others" for many years. Really!

Education, please don't abandon criticism.

For a long time, it is generally believed that traditional education in China is not good at praising and encouraging children, which makes many children lack self-confidence. Many education experts call for learning to encourage children!

So, I don't know when, "uncritical education" has become a common way of education. Teachers are required to respect students and are not allowed to criticize children or criticize children in disguise; Parents took this theory to the extreme. Children praise when they make some achievements, but they dare not even criticize when they make mistakes, for fear of dispelling their self-confidence, because it is nothing to make mistakes when they are young.

However, now there is another extreme: children will not say anything.

The child didn't say anything.

"Today's children are increasingly afraid to criticize." An old class teacher who has struggled in the front line of education for more than ten years said with emotion. She introduced two cases to the author:

1. In class, the teacher found that one student kept spraying water on another student with a sprinkler. The teacher was very angry and criticized the student and confiscated his sprinkler. However, something unexpected happened to the teacher. The classmate walked to his seat without saying a word, picked up his sprinkler and threw it on the ground, and then walked out of the classroom without looking back. ...

Second, a girl didn't finish her homework. Her class teacher made a few simple criticisms. Unexpectedly, the girl ran away from school at noon. In the afternoon, the head teacher and school leaders accompanied her parents to look for her everywhere.

Teacher Zhang Guiwei, who has been engaged in psychological counseling for middle school students for a long time, said: "It is a common problem that children can't stand setbacks, and the younger they are, the more prominent this problem is."

"Lack of criticism is the main reason for this problem," Mr. Zhang continued to analyze. "At present, the only child has excellent living conditions, strong personality, willfulness and poor psychological endurance. Many parents are obedient to their children and like to do everything for them. If children want something, parents must do it at once. The consequence of this lack of criticism is that many students can't stand setbacks and failures. "

Education without criticism is incomplete.
