Confucius, an educator two thousand years ago, once said, "Learning without thinking is useless." In other words, if a person only learns by rote and doesn't know how to think and digest, he will get nothing. Confucius' words are very reasonable.
The process from accepting knowledge to applying knowledge is actually a process of remembering and knowing, learning and thinking. Learning is the basis of thinking, and thinking is the supplement of learning. The two are closely linked and indispensable. Just like the human body's digestion of things, learning without thinking is like swallowing dates without chewing. You can't extrapolate, because without digestion and absorption, the knowledge you have learned can't become your own. Only by studying and thinking can we draw inferences.
The combination of learning and thinking is the only way to master knowledge, which has been proved by successful cases at home and abroad. It's time for Marxism–Leninism to spread to China. While absorbing the essence of Marxism–Leninism and combining with the reality of China, the producers of * * *, led by Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, embarked on the revolutionary war road of "rural encircling cities" and finally created a new socialist China. Imagine if the revolutionary predecessors didn't study and think. Galileo, a great scientist in the Renaissance, if he didn't think independently in his research, could the experiment of "two iron balls landing at the same time" have been produced at that time? Can mankind get rid of Aristotle's wrong theory as soon as possible? Learning and thinking, thinking and learning are the successful experiences of these great men and the source of power for human progress.
Today is the era of "knowledge surge", and the field of knowledge has expanded many times in less than a century. "My life is limited, but so is my knowledge." In the face of such a vast ocean of knowledge, it is impossible to reach the other side of the light by rote. Therefore, American educational circles are trying to reform the original educational system and strive to cultivate students' thinking ability and creative ability to adapt to tomorrow's science. Europe and Japan have followed suit, and the reform of China's education system is imminent and imperative. Tomorrow's creative talents should be cultivated from today's students. Therefore, we should do more, think in study, put forward original opinions in thinking, and cultivate the thinking ability of waiting for tomorrow's choice.
Independent thinking in learning is the successful experience of scholars and masters and the source of power for human progress. Cultivating students' ability is the hope of China's rise tomorrow.
