I can tell by your slender little finger that you will be the governor of New York in the future? An ordinary sentence has changed a student's life.
This is from Pierre, principal of Daxiong Primary School in Dashatou, new york, USA.
Paul's mouth, what are you talking about? What about you? Roger rawls, a naughty student at that time. Rawls Jr. was born in the infamous Dashatou slum in new york, USA. The environment here is dirty and violent, and it is a gathering place for stowaways and vagrants. So he was badly influenced since he was a child. He often played truant, fought and stole things in primary school. One day, when he jumped down from the windowsill and reached out to the podium, he was caught red-handed by the headmaster Pierre Paul. Unexpectedly, instead of criticizing him, the headmaster spoke the above sentence sincerely and gave serious guidance and encouragement.
At that time, Rawls was taken aback, because in his short life experience, only his grandmother encouraged him once, saying that he could be the captain of a five-ton ship. He wrote down the headmaster's words and firmly believed that it was true. From that day on. Governor new york? Like a flag flying high in his heart. Rawls' clothes are no longer covered with mud, Rawls' language is no longer dirty and ugly, and Rawls' actions are no longer procrastinating and aimless. In the next 40 years, there was not a day when he didn't ask himself to be governor. 5 1 year-old, finally became the governor of New York.
2. Give each weed time to bloom.
A hermit lives in the mountains. He is very diligent. Every spring, as soon as he pokes his head out, he cleans the weeds on the steps.
One day, the hermit decided to go out of town and asked a friend to help him guard the courtyard. On the contrary, this friend is lazy and never prunes the weeds on the steps and lets them grow freely.
At the end of summer, a wild grass blooms, and five small flowers are fragrant, just like those orchids in woodland, but with lacy sallow. A friend suspected that it was also a kind of orchid, so he picked some leaves and flowers and asked a plant expert. Experts carefully observed for a while, excitedly said:
This is a rare orchid, and many people have spent their whole lives looking for it. If they are in the city flower market, the price of this orchid is at least ten thousand yuan. ?
Lalan? ! ? The friend was shocked. When the hermit learned the result, another person was shocked. He regrets ground say:
In fact, that Lalan tree will break out of the ground every spring, but I pulled it out as soon as it germinated. If I had waited patiently for it to blossom, I would have discovered its value years ago.
3. correct yourself first
In California, a lady keeps a precious parrot. This parrot is beautiful, but it has a bad habit: it often coughs and its voice is hoarse, as if its throat is full of disgusting phlegm. The hostess was very anxious and hurried to take him to the vet, fearing that he might have some strange respiratory disease.
The examination results show that the parrot is completely healthy and there is nothing wrong with it. The hostess quickly asked why the parrot made such a terrible cough, and the doctor replied:
As the saying goes, parrots parrot. The reason why it coughs must be because it often hears such sounds. Someone in your family must cough often, right?
At this time, the hostess was a little embarrassed. It turns out that she has a habit of smoking herself, so she often coughs. Parrots just imitate the cough of their hostess perfectly.
Praise is a candle in a dark room.
According to the weather forecast of the Meteorological Observatory, a recent typhoon will hit a seaside town.
People in the small town panicked and took an active part in the prevention work. A mother is busy, standing beside her little daughter.
This fucking typhoon? Mother cursed while packing.
I like typhoons? The little girl next to her disagreed with her mother.
Mom was surprised, because the typhoon was extremely destructive, destroying crops, blowing down houses and blocking traffic, which brought great inconvenience and loss to people's lives, but this little guy actually said that he liked typhoons.
Son, tell your mother why you like typhoons.
The last time the typhoon came, the power went out? The little girl answered without thinking.
So what if the power goes out?
Candles will be lit at night. ?
Do you like lighting candles?
Yes, that time (referring to the night of the last typhoon), I walked around with candles on, and you said I looked like an angel. ?
Mother was speechless, immediately put down her work, picked up the little girl, kissed her little face, leaned close to her little ear and said, son, you will always be an angel!
5. A rose that never fades
In a school in the former Soviet Union, beautiful roses were in full bloom in the greenhouse on campus. Many students come to see it every day, but no one picks it.
One morning, a four-year-old child (studying in the kindergarten of this school) walked into the greenhouse and picked the biggest and most beautiful rose. When she walked out of the greenhouse with flowers, the headmaster of the school came face to face. The headmaster wanted to know why the little girl picked flowers, so he bent down and asked kindly:
Son, can you tell me who you picked the flowers for?
For grandma. Grandma is very ill. I told her that there was a big rose in the school. Grandma doesn't believe me. I took it off and gave it to her. I hope she will get better soon. I'll send it back when grandma finishes reading it. ?
After listening to the child's answer, the headmaster's heart vibrated. He took the little girl by the hand, picked two big roses from the greenhouse and said:
This one is for you, you are a sensible child; This is for your grandmother. Thank her for raising a good child like you. ?
Who is this headmaster? He is a great educator and an educational model admired by the world.
6. The Power of Tolerance: Mr. Tao Xingzhi's Four Candies
When Mr. Tao Xingzhi was the principal, one day he saw a boy hitting his classmate with a brick, so he stopped him and told him to go to the principal's office. When President Tao returned to the office, the boy was already waiting there.
Tao Xingzhi took out a candy for this classmate: This is a reward for you, because you got to the office before me. ? Then he took out another candy and said, this is for you, too. I won't let you hit your classmates. You stop at once, which shows that you respect me. ?
The boy took the second candy in doubt, and Mr. Tao added:? As far as I know, you beat your classmate because he bullied girls, which shows that you have a sense of justice. I will reward you with another candy. ?
At this time, the boy was moved to tears and said, principal, I was wrong. If my classmates are wrong again, I can't take this way. ? Mr. Tao then took out another candy: You have admitted your mistake. I'll give you another piece. I ran out of candy and our conversation was over. ?
7. Silent education: the old Zen master's educational skills.
Legend has it that one night, an old Zen master was walking in the temple and saw a chair by the courtyard wall. He immediately understood that a monk who climbed over the wall violated the rules of the temple. The old Zen master didn't say a word, quietly walked to the wall, moved the chair and squatted down on the spot. In less than half an hour, I really heard something outside the wall. After a while, a young monk climbed over the wall and jumped into the yard on the back of the old Zen master in the dark. When his foot touched the ground, he realized that it was not the chair he had just stepped on, but his master. The young monk suddenly panicked and was tongue-tied, so he had to stand where he was and wait for Master's punishment.
