The sinister living environment of Jews
Although Jews originated in West Asia, there are currently more than 5.7 million Jews living in the United States, which is of course partly due to historical reasons, and another 6.3 million Jews live in Israel, which is the only Jewish country at present. At present, Jews have played a leading role in many important fields such as finance, journalism and electronics. The best proof is that the current chairman of the board of directors of the Federal Reserve is a Jew.
However, as we all know, Jews have been persecuted many times in history. At the earliest time, Jews were regarded as heresies by Christianity and Islam because of their religious beliefs. Many European countries have expelled Jews many times in history. The most serious is Hitler's persecution of Jews during World War II. He once said that "the biggest antithesis of Aryans is Jews", so during his reign, the most terrible genocide occurred in history.
Growing up in adversity, paying special attention to children's education.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the situation from ancient times to the present that Jews have become extremely tenacious, and they have to struggle to survive in the cracks. Therefore, after almost every Jew is born, parents personally educate their children, tell them how to look at the world, thank the world, and let them realize the reality earlier. Therefore, some people think that the wisdom of Jews lies in their education, and the precocious education method allows them to better master knowledge.
In fact, this assumption is correct, because Jews really pay more attention to education and thinking than other nationalities.
Herbert Brown, an American Jew, also won the Nobel Prize. In an interview, he recalled his childhood. He said that his childhood was spent in thinking. Different from many people's thinking, his childhood is more about thinking about differences, and this kind of thinking about differences is guided by his elders.
Many of us may have spent our childhood laughing, but they all spent it in a philosophical dialogue with our elders. His grandfather once asked him, "What's the difference between today and yesterday?" Herbert Brown doesn't know the meaning of this question, so he needs to consult his parents. They tell him to think, find the differences, think from different angles, not from inertia, and he should rely on facts.
It was this philosophical dialogue that influenced Herbert Brown's life. He has been thinking almost all his life, and thinking makes people progress. And all this is due to their unique way of education.
Another example is Einstein. Einstein recalled that his father made him a chair when he was a child. This is not an ordinary chair, but a crappy chair. His father wants to tell him that nothing in this world is smooth sailing. Only when people are prepared for danger in times of peace can people remain calm in the face of major issues. Einstein didn't panic when he met something on the road of life and made the wisest decision.
In fact, the Jewish education mode is more influenced by historical reasons, and the cruel reality forces them to have clear goals from an early age and grow up in adversity. So for them, education is one of the important ways to promote their Excellence.
Helvetius also said, "All men are born the same. Just because of the different environment, especially when I was a child, some people may become talents, and some people may become ordinary people or even fools. Even ordinary children will become extraordinary people as long as they are properly educated. " This shows that Jews value education more. Their history also tells us not to ignore the power of education. It is never empty talk, let alone a hypothesis, but the goal of knowledge to change fate.
