I. [Abstract]

? Being a Happy Teacher is an educational lecture edited by former qufu normal school teacher, editor-in-chief of Shandong Education Publishing House, editor-in-chief of China Education News and journalist Tao Jixin. This book is divided into three chapters: reading and teachers' life growth, managing a happy life, and Confucius' spiritual realm. Teacher Tao Jixin chose three of the 12 wonderful lectures because Reading and Teacher's Life Growth aims to improve teachers' life quality through high-quality classic reading. The topic of "managing a happy life" is based on "happiness", which has a wide audience and is quite popular; The Spiritual World of Confucius is the crystallization of Tao Jixin's study and study of The Analects of Confucius more than ten years ago, which has rich cultural connotations. Of course, some parts are his unique feelings after internalization of personal learning, and some parts are his unique opinions.

Second, the "classic excerpts"

Day 1 day

The intrinsic factor of teacher Tao's self-confidence is 1, which has certain cultural capital. 2. Have rich life experience. 3. Tao is nature, and law is taking it. 4. Have your own discourse foundation. 5. Have a certain sense of mission. The necessity of reading teachers' growth: 1, reading classic culture is the most effective carrier of personality cultivation; 2. A lot of classic reading is a kind of cultural precipitation. Once culture has settled down in the mind, it has become a happy savings of a person's life. 3. Knowledge is about things, and wisdom is about life. Once you have wisdom, you can find a scenery in a stone and feel the rhythm of your soul in a grain of sand.

Reading principle: In addition to normality, human life has spiritual and spiritual dimensions. Each of us is very concerned about the length of our own life entity, but your real life is not superficial and physical, but spiritual and cultural.

Reading content: ancient and modern Chinese and foreign classics. What is a classic? It is a spiritual product that he can't get rid of and can constantly lead people through the passage of time and waves. For China's classics, reading is combined; Foreign classics are widely read. Great thinkers (Confucius, Socrates, Plato) all have eternal thoughts, which can travel through time and space to comfort people of different times. The demonstration results of water crystallization by the Japanese writer "Water Know the Answer" show that the crystallization of the first glass of water is a brilliant hexagonal pattern (say love and thanks to it); The glass of water that was called "fuck off" is very vivid, but it is terrible; The worst is the third glass of water, which can't crystallize. The same is true of education. You need more love, you can't give up. Water changed its expression because of our gaze.

the next day

Alienate impetuous, indifferent to fame and fortune? If teachers want to develop, they must leave a space for their own minds to read the classics, so that their teaching can achieve "stones from other mountains are dwarfs in the world." Location. 1, Li Xiuwei, who is indifferent to fame and fortune, Li Landuo, who feels at ease, and Sun Mingxia, who is neither humble nor supercilious, were born in hardship, but are quiet at heart, all of whom have shaped their lives with the mentality of seeking harmony from within and enterprising from outside. The goodness of mind makes people return to the most natural state, and then you will feel that the world is bigger and wider. Reading and teaching complement each other 1, Shen Hongqi's extensive reading and endorsement enable him to examine his teaching practice at a considerable height now, and classroom teaching will have a kind of arrogance and Wang Yang momentum. 2. Yu Yi, who is deeply educated, believes that teachers have different personalities, students have different interests, textbooks have different personalities and different environments. It is impossible for any fixed model to correspond to the teaching of different teachers one by one. Han Xinge, who is determined to reform, said little, but the students understood and learned with interest. Only by accumulating rich cultural heritage can we change with constancy. 4. Nowadays, the pollution of education ecology in Su Jing is very serious. Su Jing kept the original thing of education, and she was not polluted. So, she is the best. Everyone should create opportunities for themselves, read more books and recite more. The less you learn, the more time you need to prepare lessons, and you can't teach well. After reading for a long time, you will have your own opinions and thoughts and your own discourse system.

the third day

Reading and writing become the wings of life growth. Reading and writing are necessary and sufficient conditions. Without reading a lot of classic texts, it is impossible to have outstanding works with brilliant literary talents. A lot of writing and reading is another promotion, because practice makes perfect. If writing, like reading, is regarded as a spiritual text collection in a person's life, writing will not become a burden, but a kind of happiness and happiness. Reading and thinking about the classic culture of peers, I don't understand it at first. Real classic reading needs the ideological intervention of the reading subject and the internal connection with real life and educational content. In a sense, the intervention of deep thoughts is a spiritual dialogue between the reading subject and the author.

The fourth day

Thoughts and actions on reading the Paris Declaration: The common declaration of 75 Nobel Prize winners: To solve the problems faced by mankind in the 2 1 century, we should seek wisdom from Confucius in the East. It can be seen that learning China Confucian culture has become the consensus of outstanding people all over the world. A lifetime of happy cultural journey. Reading classics can make people tend to be true, good and beautiful, and master's works contain truth, good and beautiful. Read more books, you will get closer to the master step by step, and that kind of truth, goodness and beauty will enter your heart. Some people say that a child who reads good books every day is not bad, even if it is bad, which is very reasonable. There are three realms in reading: the first realm is persistence, and the second realm is habit formation. The third level is aesthetics. Reading is not a temporary thing, not only for teaching, but also for lifelong happiness. If you don't study, there will be no spiritual sustenance. You can't find your spirit, you can't find your soul.

Fifth day

The key to inner harmony: "What is surprising when you are humiliated? You are the best, you are the worst, you are surprised when you get it, and you are surprised when you lose it?" In fact, the intrinsic reason why the universe exists forever is that there is a kind of advanced harmony. Think about it, there are sunny days and storms in nature, and so is the course of human life. Even if you encounter twists and turns and even disasters, you still regard it as a special note of harmony in nature. Even if it is a great success, it should be regarded as a flower in a beautiful life. At this level, it is a state of humiliation. At this time, your heart is harmonious and your body is naturally healthy. We should treat life with a normal heart and the world with a harmonious mind, and don't be overjoyed or make a fuss. Everything is natural. Understand that life, the heart is one, in order to truly do not be humiliated, see the flowers bloom in the world, not afraid of life and death, see the clear sky Wan Li. If you really do this, your life consciousness will change greatly, and this change will not slide in the same place or on a plane. Shallow change is a leap in the essence of life. Tolerance: forgive those who have conflicts with themselves; "Appreciate" those who criticize themselves; Forgive those who hurt themselves.

Third, stay away from bad emotions. Ways to optimize emotions: 1. Eliminate the poison of anger. 2, carry out "benign hints" 3, monk: holding a beautiful woman, the heart has forgotten. We often only see some tangible things. In fact, those intangible things have heavier "burdens". Only by letting go of psychological burdens can we enter the realm of "no self"

sixth day

Happiness in the true sense, as well as moral demands, are spiritual nobleness. Those high-ranking officials who are rich in wealth may be noble in spirit or poor in spirit. A man of noble spirit should first honor his parents. In a sense, filial piety is the foundation of being a man. People who fail to honor their parents will be punished almost without exception. What goes around comes around means that psychological science has nothing to do with idealism. This is the operating rule of the universe, which has been set for everyone. The hunter used ferrets' kindness to pretend to be frozen stiff. Snow sculpture came to lie on his chest, warmed him, caught him by surprise, and then skinned him and ate his flesh. This is really sad. People often call their opponents animals. In fact, human behavior is far more cruel than animals. Kindness is the most needed quality of human beings. The psychological state of a confident person is a beautiful scenery under any circumstances. Difficulties are everywhere. God has given us an examination room, but at the same time, victory is everywhere. You will succeed as long as you work hard. I think the process of solving difficulties is also the process of improving individual life, and even the process of experiencing happiness in life. Confidence can create everything.

Seventh day

In your heart, you must firmly believe that you will never give up. There are three secrets of Churchill's success: first, never give up; Second, never, never give up; Third, never, never, never give up! A person's good habits will benefit him for life. Healthy body and reasonable eating habits are necessary conditions for a happy life. A person who doesn't study may absorb classic ideas from classic texts, and a person who doesn't have the supply of classic ideas will inevitably lack the necessary spirit and spiritual support. Reading more books will improve your spiritual realm and make you happy. Writer Feng Jicai said: "Culture seems to have no direct relationship with the national economy and people's livelihood, but it has a direct relationship with the national character, spirit, thought, speech and temperament. Remove the nerve of culture and a nation will become a vegetable. " In a sense, a person's high-quality life growth history should be a spiritual history of constantly appreciating culture. Cultural appreciation is cultural precipitation. Entering aesthetics is a higher realm beyond habit. The discovery of beauty is not in the eyes, but in the heart. A person with a happy heart will find more beauty. Even in the eyes of ordinary people, he can feel the existence of beauty from the beautiful things. A person who really develops to a certain level often has this aesthetic mind.

Eighth day

I like the following poem very much: a partner grabs the quilt with me every night, which means he is not with others. There is a teenager who only watches TV without washing dishes, which means that he stays at home and doesn't go out to play. I pay taxes, which means I have a job and my clothes are getting tighter and tighter. It means that I eat well and have a shadow at work. This means that in the bright sunshine, I have a lawn to cut, a window to clean and a drain pipe to repair. This means that I have a home. I can find the farthest parking space, which means I can still walk, be happy and have a car. There is a huge electricity bill, which means my air conditioner is cold. In church, there is a lady behind me who is tone deaf, which means I can still hear. A pile of clothes needs washing and ironing, which means I have clothes to wear. I feel very tired and my muscles ache at the end of the day, which shows that I have the ability to work hard. Being woken up by the alarm clock in the morning means that I am still alive. Finally, thanks for too many emails, which means that many friends will think of me. When you think life is bad, just watch it again. "forbearance is a great event in the world, and everyone laughs at ridiculous people in the world." It tells us that we must have a broad mind, especially a tolerant heart. Therefore, please have a forgiving heart, which brings you peace of mind and spiritual comfort.

the ninth day

Confucius' thoughts and spirit have been spread in China and even the whole world. This is the eternity of great thoughts and lofty spirit, and when he enters his spiritual world, he often has a sense of worship: "The higher the sun, the stronger the drill." As a living individual, after the basic material living conditions are met, Integral should strive to improve spiritual quality. The quality of people's life mainly lies not in the amount of material wealth, but in the richness of spirit and soul. It is impossible for each of us to stay in the existing state of life, but to realize the continuous leap of our lives in constant blows.

Day 10

Some people say that there are three important cultures in the world, one is American guilt culture, the other is China's music culture, and the third is Japanese shame culture. Speaking of China's musical sense culture, it inevitably involves an important proposition, that is, Kong Yan's musical position. Kong Yan's happiness is not a kind of natural happiness, not to mention Ah Q's self-deprecating happiness, not even a kind of moral happiness, but a kind of super-moral aesthetic happiness with ontological significance. He realized and got it not in the pursuit of pleasure, but naturally in his daily life with a normal mentality, which has the characteristics of no desire in life, "neutralization" of emotions and peace of mind. Confucius and his disciple Yan Hui are typical representatives of this kind of happiness, so there is a saying that Confucius enjoys happiness. Life is limited in time and space, usually only a few decades, at most a hundred years. We must be happy and have a valuable pursuit of life. This is the foundation of happiness. Enjoying life is not the pursuit of material enjoyment, but the happiness of the soul and the nobility of the spirit. Learning the Analects of Confucius mostly goes through three levels. The first is to look at the mountains and the water. The mountains and water here are just literal. The second level is to see mountains, not mountains, and water is not water, so we have our own understanding, which goes beyond the first level, but this level is not close to the realm of benevolence. At the third level, we look at the mountains and the water. This is a phoenix-like change that has happened. We not only understand the superficial meaning, but also understand the inner will. Moreover, because we entered the deep ditch, our hearts have undergone earth-shaking changes. Therefore, when we read The Analects, we are not trying to understand its literal meaning, or even its deep meaning, but our own spiritual and spiritual changes, thus making a qualitative leap in our life. This year and next year are all ours.

Day 1 1 day

Philosophers say that harmony is beautiful and harmony is the highest realm of beauty. In fact, not only the society needs harmony, but everything in the world needs harmony. Confucius said, too much is too late. Everything, especially the individual's body and life, needs to be in this state to be healthy and safe. This is beyond all boundaries, which is what Confucius called the golden mean. The doctrine of the mean is actually an inner harmony under a noble principle. The highest state of harmony contains moral demands. The core of people-oriented is to treat people as adults and people as the foundation. Today, the balanced education we expected has been realized in Confucius, so Confucius is a real civilian educator and a real people-oriented person. It seems that self-cultivation is not only to protect oneself, but also to help people and others in moral practice, that is, to apply what they have learned. The gentleman in Confucius' mind is a person with both culture and noble personality, while the villain is an ordinary person without noble gentleman, not the bad guy we are talking about today. Confucius pursues the gentleman's personality, especially after the personality is incorporated, the gentleman has certain moral demands. Confucius pursues the character of a gentleman and hopes that his disciples will also move towards the ranks of gentlemen. Even people who have no status and status like Yan Hui and Lutz can become gentlemen through self-cultivation.

Day 12

"People don't believe it and don't know what to do." How is it possible that people don't keep their promises? Just like a cart and a car without a crossbar, what do you walk on? Confucius' words are too subtle. Believe in immateriality, but people really have to base themselves on society. He is an important quality. If you die, even if you get Qian Qian's property, you will definitely get it back. In addition to his knowledge, the great level of trust is an important factor that makes Confucius have a personality charm that ordinary people can't surpass. We say that Confucius' trustrank is too high, and I'm afraid there is no such charming teacher in history. Speaking of Confucius, most people think that he is a good old man, a man who can strike a balance between right and wrong. In fact, Confucius lived a healthy life, and the harmony he pursued was not a kind of "homesickness", but a highly principled balance. As human beings, we should live honestly. Living crooked ways, just narrowly escaped the disaster. "The higher the yang, the stronger the drillability." In Yan Hui's view, the more Confucius looked up, the higher his knowledge and morality became. The more he studied hard and studied hard, the more inexhaustible he felt. Confucius knows almost everything and learns everywhere. More importantly, he does not stay in words, but also explores constantly at the practical level, forming his own ideological system and academic system. Nowadays, lifelong education has become a fashionable word, but not many people have done it. Confucius became a great teacher through self-study, both a lifelong learner and a lifelong educator. Teacher Tao Jixin especially advocated working hard on the original Confucian classics to find a real Confucius and study a real Confucian culture. Culture is for educating people. If the classic culture is internalized into our individual hearts, it will be a beautiful scenery when it is externalized. Because classic culture can change our way of speaking and thinking, and even our words and deeds and mental state. The emphasis on harmony in The Analects of Confucius refers not only to the harmony between people, but also to the harmony between people, society and nature. In fact, each of us also needs physical and mental harmony.

Third, [Reading Comprehension]

1, the rule of enhancing self-confidence: As a teacher, you should have rich cultural knowledge, not limited to the knowledge of the subjects you teach, but also wit that can satisfy students' curiosity and ask questions at any time; Knowledge comes from practice. Only by being a conscientious person in life can we accumulate rich life experience and have the ability to deal with problems according to circumstances. "The Tao is natural, and the method is almost the same." Everything in the world has its own reason for existence. Whatever you do, you must follow the law of development of things. Have clear thinking of analyzing and solving problems, and know what to do and what not to do.

2. It is beneficial to open classic books. Good reading, reading good books and reading a lot of classics can make people have a cultural temperament from the heart. Once the classics are internalized in the heart, we can find a landscape from a stone and feel the rhythm of the soul from a grain of sand. Reading a large number of classics precipitated by time can expand the dimension of individual life and the depth of soul.

3. Reading is a cultural journey. Reading the classics of masters and famous artists for a long time will unconsciously digest and absorb their truth, goodness and beauty and guide themselves to seek truth, goodness and beauty. Living in the world can keep the primitive state of human nature and not be confused by the bustling world. Reading more books will improve the spiritual realm, and living together will increase the happiness of life.

4. The sentence "Tolerance is an intolerable thing in the world, always smile and laugh at ridiculous people in the world" tells us that one must have a broad mind, especially a tolerant heart. Forgive people who disagree with themselves; Appreciate those who criticize themselves; Forgive those who have hurt themselves. Tolerance and generosity bring you peace of mind and spiritual pleasure.

5, "don't be happy with things, don't be sad for yourself" can truly be humiliated. If we can calmly face the sunny, stormy, happy and suffering in the universe, even if you have achieved great success, you will regard it as a ripple of the breeze, and then you will truly reach the realm of tranquility and far-reaching

6. Harmony is beauty. Everything is in the contradiction of unity of opposites. Healthy body and reasonable eating habits must be the cornerstone of happiness in life. Man is a part of nature, and should live in harmony with nature, and truly integrate with nature, so that we can feel the beauty of the world at one breath.
