"Confucius: It is better to learn from the times, isn't it?" As the first sentence at the beginning of The Analects of Confucius, I believe everyone is familiar with this sentence. The literal meaning of the whole sentence is: the teacher said, isn't it a happy thing to practice often after learning? Look, how simple this sentence is! But its meaning is extremely simple and very important. The general idea of this sentence is "apply what you have learned" To apply what you have learned reflects the value of learning in practice. This is a happy thing! So, are you happy?
On hearing this sentence, you will definitely refute, how can learning be a happy thing? This is different from the actual feeling in our daily life! Just like "the sword is sharpened, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from the bitter cold" and "there is no limit to learning the sea", just like the ancients often said "hanging the beam and stabbing the stocks" and "studying hard in the cold window for ten years", when it comes to learning, people will definitely think of suffering, whether ancient or modern. Everyone came from the student days, and the idea of studying hard must be deeply rooted! Parents and even teachers think so, not to mention children. The idea that learning is hard work is deeply rooted in their minds. How can they be interested in bitter things?
This puzzle is not difficult to solve, but it is easy to understand the true meaning of "learning"! In fact, learning includes two processes: one is the process of learning, that is, the process of learning and absorbing knowledge from books or life, which may make you feel boring; The other is the learning process that people often ignore, that is, putting what they have learned into practice as mentioned above. Of course, how can you be happy when you are only halfway through your study? So we should not only study, but also study. For example, when we were children, we all learned to ride bicycles. In the repeated falls, maybe you are scared, maybe you want to give up, but when we master the trick and learn to ride a bike, the happiest thing every day is to ride a bike to play. Because we don't need to walk for a long time to reach our destination, we just need a fraction of what we used to, and then you will be sincerely happy, because I finally learned to ride a bike, which makes my life more colorful! How happy it is to learn knowledge and often use it in practice!
"Apply what you have learned" is the foundation of learning! At this time, you may be thinking: we can apply life skills like riding a bicycle, but how can we apply the knowledge of Chinese, mathematics and other disciplines? I take Chinese as an example. We must be confused in our hearts. Just learn to recognize a few Chinese words. Why study rhetoric, ancient poetry, reading and so on? No need, not in daily life! In fact, you are wrong to think so. When any knowledge will be useful depends on how you use it at the right time! Everyone knows that literacy is the most fundamental thing in learning Chinese, so that you won't have any obstacles in future reading. What about learning other things? In fact, Chinese is a process of accumulation. Learn rhetoric, ancient poetry, reading, etc. It seems like chicken ribs to everyone, but it's not. Put a child who is good at Chinese learning and a child who is not good at Chinese learning together, and communicate with them at the same time, you will find that their speech and cultivation are different, full of poetry and self-satisfaction.
If you haven't studied rhetoric, if you see such a beautiful sky, will you describe it in such vivid language that people feel the same? If you don't learn Chinese, then you want to write a letter to thank your parents. You just need to impress your parents with words, so that they can clearly feel that you have grown up and know how to be grateful ... Never mind that you haven't finished learning the preset knowledge points in this class. In fact, interest is the best teacher, so that they can understand that learning Chinese is useful and can be put into practice!
Isn't it a pleasant thing to persevere and work hard? Yes, unpleasant! Did you do it?
