Others praised Sun Ping for his intelligence, liveliness and wide interests. Sun Ping's father is very happy, and so is Sun Ping. In primary school, Sun Ping studied very well. Anyway, he only took two subjects, Chinese and math. If he studies hard before the exam, he can get into the top seven or eight. Since entering junior high school, Sun Ping's clever mind seems to have no advantage. The first semester of junior one also entered the first semester 15. Later, it became worse and worse, and it ranked 30 th in the second semester. Now the second day of junior high school is almost over, and 56 children have been tested in the class. Teachers in all subjects admit that Sun Ping has a smart brain, but his grades just can't get on. My parents asked me what the reason was and if there was any way to make it up.
According to the analysis of the specific situation, it is obvious that the reason for Sun Ping's poor study is not intelligence, but non-intelligence factors. Among the non-intellectual factors, I think Sun Ping is weak-willed.
As his parents said, he could understand English at first, but when he recited it, he felt too bitter. He forgave himself and owed more and more.
Mathematics, the first day, also understand, but do not want to do exercises, let him do, he is afraid of fatigue, and said that now the newspaper is advocating "happy education"!
In fact, many middle school students in our country have poor grades, mainly not in intelligence, but in perseverance. Take English as an example. Some students with average intelligence get very good grades and write beautifully. Why? He is willing to study hard and remember. Some particularly clever boys are good at guessing, playing games, singing and ventriloquism, but they are poor at English. Investigate its reason, not also, not also. I always feel that memorizing English words is too hard and tiring, and I always hide and drag. As a result, "if I don't do it, it will be difficult for easy people."
Is there any way to catch up? You must start by honing Sun Ping's will. If children themselves identify with their parents and school teachers, are willing to work hard to hone their will, and persistently put them into action, they can still achieve unexpected results.
How to hone children's will?
First, parents and children must realize that people who have contributed to mankind and made outstanding achievements throughout the ages are persevering people. As for A Dou and others, getting an emperor's position by a good chance is just famous, let alone making any contribution to society. Without tenacious will, there are very few people who have made great contributions. All great scientists, thinkers, artists and writers have made extraordinary achievements because of their hard work under the control of tenacious will.
Second, realize that will can make up for mental and even physical defects. Darwin, Edison and Einstein were all considered as children with poor intelligence when they were young, but their willpower far exceeded that of other children. They insist on doing things and stay up late to study a problem. When they enter the learning state, they don't feel bitter no matter how hard they are. Helen Keller, an American blind and deaf woman writer, was blind and deaf since childhood, facing a dark and silent world. However, with tenacious perseverance, she learned to write and became one of the most respected writers in American history. Taha husayn, the former Minister of Education of India, was blind at the age of four, but he studied Braille with tenacious perseverance and became the first person in Indian history to receive a French doctorate. Zhang Haidi, a paraplegic patient in Liaocheng, Shandong Province, China, taught himself with tenacious perseverance, published many books and translations including novels, and obtained a master's degree. At present, she is pursuing her doctorate with great ambition. Looking at those tenacious people in the Paralympic Games, we can't help but marvel at the magic and greatness of willpower.
Third, parents and children must not believe those one-sided propaganda: live a relaxed, happy and chic life in middle school, eat less and have more fun. This kind of propaganda is at least one-sided if it has no ulterior motives. Whoever believes will be cheated and suffer.
Fourth, to temper the will, the most important thing is to guide the children to endure the necessary hardships. The so-called necessary suffering is conducive to children to increase their knowledge, broaden their horizons and enhance their physical strength after suffering. For example, memorizing English words and doing basic training questions in mathematics and physics are very bitter, but it is necessary. Doing strange questions and writing a new word 50 times is also bitter. This is unnecessary pain. I have always felt that if a person doesn't eat hard enough, his character will always lack the necessary factors and appear weak. For more than 20 years, I have repeatedly stressed to one student after another that if people want to develop in an all-round way and become useful to the people, they must learn to suffer hardships. Russian writer Turgenev said: "Do you want to be a happy person? Then you must learn to endure hardship first. " (Poems of Turgenev's Prose)
Fifth, we should cultivate tenacious will and set up lofty aspirations. If children compare themselves with uneducated people all day, and think that those who are idle, eat, drink and have fun, and rely on their parents' power and property are not only shameful, but also worthy of emulation, then it is impossible to hone their will. To hone their will, children must set up the ambition of being a real person, and be a person who can earn their own living and contribute to their parents and others. Only those who are ambitious will despise the immediate suffering. "Thirty years ago, an American teenager set more than 150 ambitions, including crossing the desert, conquering the peak of more than 8,000 meters, drifting on the Amazon River, climbing the Great Wall of China, landing on the moon and many others. In the past 30 years, he has completed more than half of them. If there is no determination in childhood, it is unimaginable. "
Sixth, make plans for study, exercise and life. Weak-willed people generally lack planning, muddle along every day, do whatever they meet, sometimes do nothing, and try to avoid it. Strong-willed people are used to making plans for themselves, such as what to do every year, the specific goals of each month, the schedule of daily work and rest and so on.
Seventh, it's up to you to decide whether to do it or not, and try to form a habit. The plan has been made, and the important thing is to carry it out and stick to it. "People with aspirations are determined to win, and people with aspirations are determined to win." In order to prevent the determination from changing, the initial plan should leave room and not be too high. Strive to start with small things, insist on doing three words every day, run 1000 meters every day, preview math 15 minutes every day and other small things. Do it every day and keep doing it. After a long time, you will get used to it and your will will will be honed.
Eighth, insist on physical exercise. Physical exercise is also the exercise of will quality to a great extent. It is said that the first half of the marathon depends on physical strength, and the second half mainly depends on perseverance. A relatively simple and easy way to temper your will is long-distance running. Starting from 1979, lead students to run 5 kilometers in one class every day, and then do some other sports activities. I think I have benefited a lot from it, not only because of my health, but more importantly, my students and I have honed our will in the process of running. There is a simpler exercise method that can be done at home, that is, doing sit-ups and push-ups in bed. Long-term persistence will also temper a tenacious will.
It is not too late to hone a child's will, even if it is not for his further education, but for his future career and life. He must have a strong will to do it well.
