Today, I read an article, and I felt that the witticisms inspired by my growth sparkled in my mind like pearls, which made people want to write them and shape them into a beautiful pearl necklace.
A girl born in the northwest countryside in the 1970s is very lucky to be able to study. As for extracurricular reading outside textbooks, it is simply an unattainable luxury. Therefore, primary school reading is just a textbook. The nutrition of content is like three meals a day. I can't remember what I used to eat and what I tasted. However, under the nutritional supply of books at that time, my body and mind gradually grew mature and my cognitive level improved year by year. Today, I only recorded a few "good dishes" that I occasionally ate in school life, which made people remember deeply. Every time I think about it, it will be memorable.
The first pearl: "My baby is Hua's head"
As far as I can remember, I have heard most comparative words around me, mostly not from parents' voices, but from the direct comparison of the living environment of the northern population. Many families born in the same year in the village are boys, but their mothers are girls. Being the first child, I didn't suffer too much discrimination from my family. When I was three or four years old, my father took his own well to draw water, just waiting to see the adults creaking and twisting pulleys to draw water from the well. When adults lined up to fetch water and chat, suddenly someone turned the topic to the child, only to hear a woman in the village loudly say, "Your girl's forehead is too long!" " How ugly it is to grow up! My father turned to look at the child and said something that I remember very clearly from childhood: "My baby's forehead is bulging, that's more brains!" My baby is Hua's head! "
I didn't know who Hua was when I was young. A bulging forehead should be a good thing, representing cleverness! When I was a child, I trusted and worshipped my parents very much. Their words made my children cherish their parents' bodies like authoritative judges. Whether they are handsome or ugly, their parents' propaganda definitely convinced me. When I grow up, I don't need to investigate the scientificity and authenticity of my father's words, but this sentence brings my own personality-self-confidence and optimism are objective and true. This all comes from the psychological suggestion when I was a child-I have more brains than others, can't I learn?
The second pearl, "looks big when you are young, and looks old when you are three years old."
When I was in the first and second grades of primary school, I played at home one afternoon in the summer vacation, and I don't remember anything. My uncle went home to look for his father to do things, and when he saw the idle children, he began to accuse "…", just like many parents.
At that time, the dialect he accused was completely forgotten except for the quote "growing up at an early age and looking at the old at the age of three"
I still remember it. He hinted that you children did nothing when you were young, and grew up to be worthless and so on! These eight words touched me a lot.
I remember that at that time, six new houses had just been built at home, but the glass and paint had not been installed, and the doors and windows had not been installed. They were all natural wood. After my uncle left, I repeatedly thought about the eight words left by my uncle after swearing.
"Look big from childhood, look old at three years old". So I picked up a brush (brush ink was easy to get when I was a child) and wrote vertically on the two window sills in the middle of the brand-new window frame, "Look big when you are young, look old when you are three years old!" There are mirrors and combs on the windowsill. Every time I comb my hair at school, I can see these words. Every time I see them, it seems that my uncle is teaching me once. In fact, my uncle has not done much in his life, but he and himself are teachers in one word. When he was young, he reminded a person that what he said and did as a child decided what kind of person you didn't become. This is another manifestation that young people don't work hard and old people are sad.
The third pearl, "Only when you have suffered enough can you become a master."
"If you come through hard work, you will be a master."
This sentence comes from Feng Menglong's "warning the world that Yutangchun is in trouble" in the Ming Dynasty, which means that only by eating hard can you gain fame and fortune and become a respected and loved person. However, when I was a child, extracurricular books were extremely scarce, and I never had a chance to see Feng Menglong's Warning Book. Fortunately, I heard this sentence indirectly through my 19-year-old junior one Chinese teacher, and I was deeply inspired. I seem to have found a magic weapon for a person to strive for progress, not only by the cleverness of his brain, but also by hard work. This is similar to what Edison mentioned in his speech: "Genius equals 1% inspiration and 99% sweat.
At this moment, as a junior high school student, I realized that when I was a child, it was far from enough to rely on my own cleverness and only pay attention to the efficiency of the classroom for dozens of minutes. Above the blackboard in a junior high school classroom, there is an eye-catching sticker-"There is no end to learning, and there is no end to learning."
Classic quotes always remind us that diligence is king and talent is only the foundation. Even if the talent is insufficient, it can be supplemented by endless diligence. As a farmer's child, if you lack anything, you will never lack the spirit of struggle.
The fourth pearl, "don't whip yourself!" "
This sentence comes from Mr. Cang Kejia's "Old Cow"—
"Pieces of waste water and soil, plough off things.
Old cows can also solve the problem of being young and expensive without their own whips. "
Published in People's Daily1982,65438 on February 2nd. At that time, I happened to be in the first grade of primary school, which was far from the northwest. How can I read the newspaper? Not to mention the People's Daily. But fortunately there are many gentlemen! They always walk in front of the students, and then teach them word of mouth, so that this sentence takes root in their hearts.
In the busy farming season in rural areas, scalpers can be seen everywhere. When the whip is raised and draws an arc in the air, it will make a loud "bia" or "pa" sound. The old cows lowered their heads, pulled their plowshares and plowed the fields with firm steps. Cows who cheat and are lazy have to be whipped several times. How painful it will be to whip them, and the work to be done still needs to be done! If the clever ox understands the master's mind and actively cooperates, it doesn't need to be beaten. The master just held the whip in the air and ordered him to shout. Maybe he can add more bowls of forage to reward him at night!
Children in rural areas can easily understand the phrase "no need to whip themselves", in terms of learning? Shouldn't we learn from the clever old cow?
Lesson 5 Pearl, "Forcing Tauren not to drink water"
This sentence was first heard by the class teacher of Grade Two. He mentioned a proverb at a class meeting-"Don't drink water according to the cow's head". At that time, the class teacher took charge of discipline and mobilized everyone's subjective initiative. Learning depends on your own hunger and thirst, and it is impossible to rely on teachers to force you to beat and scold. A group of children who grew up in the countryside, a group of teachers who live and work in the countryside, and proverbs quoted in class are also inseparable from everything in the countryside. The teacher's words reminded me that the pursuit of knowledge must be an urgent need for me to be positive and hungry. External pressure from teachers, parents, etc. It is only an auxiliary force, and the decisive factor for the success of anything is one's own internal strength. Only then did I deeply realize that learning is my own business, not for my parents and teachers! Only when knowledge is urgently needed internally, how can we press the bull's head? I'm afraid I'm hungry and I'm actively looking for a suitable water source.
The sixth pearl, "University is not so sacred, so can you!" " "
When I was a freshman, I retaken the technical secondary school against the wishes of some relatives, chose not to read the repeated textbooks, and resolutely embarked on the road of ordinary high schools. In rural high schools, the scene of entering the college entrance examination every year is "shaving your head". Parents have no hope, they are at a loss about the future.
A physics teacher who just graduated from college, a few minutes of after-school life sharing makes people rekindle hope. He said:
"University is not as mysterious as you think, so unattainable, you can do it!"
The teacher's words inspired many people's morale. Since then, everyone likes teachers to share their life experiences with students after class, thus generating greater inspiration, giving students greater confidence and curiosity about the outside world, and thus generating motivation for learning. Some teachers like "full house" stuffing. I read a sentence: "sharpening a knife does not miss the woodcutter."
I firmly believe that a teacher's encouragement is like sharpening a knife for a child. With a sharp blade, how many tasks of chopping wood will get twice the result with half the effort.
The seventh pearl, "A spent force, no bow!"
This sentence comes from an excerpt from Sima Qian's high school Chinese ancient prose-Biography of Historical Records Han Chang Ru: "And the crossbow is extremely strong, and the strength can't penetrate Lu Tao; The wind and rain are coming to an end, and the strength cannot float. "
One day in senior three, I listened to Chinese teachers who were over 500 years old standing in two groups, holding the desk with both hands and explaining "a spent force" in a cadence. This idiom means that the bow and arrow sent by the strong crossbow has reached the farthest range, indicating that the powerful force has failed. "
Since I learned this sentence, I have been taught not to resist fatigue, thinking that a person's energy during the day is like a spent force at the end of self-study at night, and his strength can no longer cross that thin road. Any man-made procrastination has little effect except to comfort your heart. Therefore, I never struggle to stay up late as a symbol of my efforts. Early to bed and early to rise is always the guarantee of efficient study.
The eighth pearl, "See the sage Si Qi, see the sage and introspect!"
Studying the Analects of Confucius in high school
"See the sage Si Qi how, see not sage and introspection also"! It means that if several people are together, one of them will learn. Choose his strengths to study. When you see a person without virtue, you must reflect on whether there are mistakes like him. The inspiration of this sentence is to learn from life and people around you. Learn from his strengths and reflect on his weaknesses. You should avoid such shortcomings. Doing so can foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, so why not? As long as you have a modest heart and are ready to learn from others, you will study anywhere. Entering society and leaving school, without the guidance of teachers, the rest need to be taught by themselves. After years of school education, the ultimate goal of education is to educate a person to learn to educate himself, while the ultimate goal of learning is to learn to learn and have the ability to learn by yourself. In this way, on the road of life, it is possible to realize lifelong learning and grow from time to time.
I am ashamed to be a teacher after taking up my job, but I always remember to practice Mr. Tao Xingzhi's words: "A teacher should not specialize in teaching, but his responsibility is to teach people to be human;" Students should not specialize in reading, his responsibility is to learn the way of life. " On the road of life, I will always be an inexperienced pupil. I will receive self-education and other education, especially from life. Life is a university that one can never graduate. If we have to make a metaphor, then our own life is like a necklace. This pearl is scattered and absorbed, but as time goes by, it will form a string of priceless pearls when worn. If you look back and let others appreciate it, it may inspire others.
