People live in this world, have their own outlook on life and values, and also have their own principles of being a man and doing things. Many issues of principle cannot be doubted or changed. For example, when judging a case, a judge cannot change the judgment because of emotional reasons, because acting according to law is the principle of judging a case; The referee cannot change the scale and result of the penalty, because it is the principle of ruling to act according to the rules; Students can't cheat in exams in order to get good grades, because honesty is the principle of being a man. All these tell us that we should stick to principles in our life and work.
There was once a story: One day, the Pope and an American businessman were walking in the garden, followed by the Bishop. "Is 65438+ ten thousand yuan enough?" The Pope shook his head. "1 10,000 is ok?" The Pope still shook his head and refused to stick to his principles. "How about100000?" The Pope insisted, and the Americans left in dismay. The bishop quickly stepped forward and said, "Why are you so stubborn? How much can we do for Christians with this money! Tell me, what do Americans want? " The Pope calmly replied, "He asked us to say' Coca Cola' instead of' Amen' after every prayer!"
Although this is a joke, we should understand the importance of adhering to principles from it. Money is not everything. We can't change our principles for money. If principles can be exchanged for money, then the society doesn't know what it will become.
What will you do with your elders, teachers or bosses for the principle that money remains the same? There are many such stories all over the world. According to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, on one occasion, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu went out hunting on a whim. After returning to the city late at night, Luoyang city gate was closed. Although the gatekeeper at the East Gate knew that it was the return of the emperor, he refused to open the door for the emperor on the grounds that "the law stipulates that the door should be closed at night and no one is allowed to enter or leave"
In desperation, the emperor had to make a big detour and transfer to the city from Dongzhongmen. Dongzhongmen officials illegally opened the city gate for flattery. The next day, Emperor Guangwu gave the Shangdongmen official who insisted on the principle and refused to open the door for him a hundred pieces of cloth as a reward, while the Dongzhongmen official who illegally opened the gate for him was demoted to lieutenant as a punishment.
From this, it can be seen that adhering to the principle is regardless of the object, and even the emperor must abide by the laws and regulations. If this is not legal, how can we govern the country? The gatekeeper's spirit of not being afraid of power and sticking to principles is worth learning from each of us.
Smiles once said, "A man without principles and will is like a ship without rudder and compass. He will change direction at any time as the wind direction changes. " Doesn't this sentence illustrate the importance of adhering to principles? One should learn to stick to one's own ideas. A man in have it both ways will never achieve real success, just like the man who opens the door for the emperor. If the person who asked to open the door at that time was just a civilian, what would he do? Such a person can only kiss up, but will not stick to his own principles, and is doomed to be a loser! People always ignore the importance of principles and always want to solve problems in a way that violates principles, which is wrong. Leo Boehner once said, "Don't let expediency take the place of principle, and don't let pomp cover up the facts." We should all understand this and act accordingly. Adhering to principles is the foundation of our foothold in the world. If you lose this, you will accomplish nothing!
Chapter 2: It's really important to stick to principles.
Standing at the height of life, we still have a long way to go. The crisscross roads of life are like hand-woven bamboo baskets, and we can't tell where our heads are. However, in such a chaotic way of fish and water, we must resist the temptation along the way and stick to our principles. Maybe only in this way can you walk steadily and well.
For example, as we all know, China has the highest accident rate in the world. But can a reason of "large population and many people owning cars" explain or even prevaricate this fact? In my opinion, more factors are that many car owners don't drive according to principles, and many pedestrians lack traffic safety awareness. Usually, car accidents are caused by many factors, such as careless crossing the road, careless driving, speeding, drunk driving and so on. Didn't countless bloody lessons teach China people the importance of acting according to reason?
Speaking of which, I think of a very interesting and true story: it happened on a foreign highway, and there was no traffic police or traffic camera. At that time, it was the rush hour, but there were a lot of vehicles coming and little walking. However, none of the oncoming vehicles crossed the median line to overtake in reverse, but presented a very asymmetrical figure, an asymmetrical beauty and a beauty of obeying principles.
Germany is a country with unlimited speed on expressways in the world. Why are there such unreasonable regulations? Is it because German car owners are particularly skilled, or is the road in Germany particularly wide? I think, otherwise, it is the highly principled driving quality of German citizens that makes this regulation promulgated.
With so many examples, I want to make it clear that adhering to principles is an indispensable part of one's life. If life is a sea of Wang Yang, then the principle is to always point to the north.
Recently, I watched a movie "Du Lala's Promotion", which is the state that I began to reflect on these days. Recently, every day can be said to be a muddled life, and you are welcome to dawdle. Is it because I am proud of being admitted by kindness? I think: If this continues, President Cizhong will expel me from my normal school. I don't know how much I've heard in one day's make-up lessons. Make small moves and talk empty words in class. Class is over, and there is no mood to study at all. I don't know what happened to me. Is it influenced by the classmates around you, or is your self-control ability insufficient? Every day, you can say that you don't live in your own principles.
However, I learned one thing from Du Lala, and that is to stick to principles. She was originally a grass-roots employee of a company, but she was optimistic, adhered to principles, changed the surrounding environment with her own behavior, and finally was promoted step by step and succeeded. This undoubtedly tells us that sometimes she doesn't have to passively adapt to this cruel environment, but should take the initiative to change it. She only lived for a few decades. We can't afford to waste. Therefore, we should stick to our own principles, never go with the flow, live in other people's world, look at ourselves with the clearest eyes and grasp every day of your life. When you are dying, you should be worthy of what you have done.
As the saying goes, no rules can't make Fiona Fang. Without principles, there is no way to be a complete life.
Chapter III: Adhering to Principles
In study and life, there are often some big or small contradictions with classmates. Because I am a class committee and often manage classes, I will inevitably offend some students. Especially my good classmates violate discipline, which is even more difficult for me to deal with. Take one thing that happened last time!
When the teacher has a meeting on Monday, let the class Committee on duty-that is, me-sit in front of the podium to manage class discipline. I took my homework to write, moved a stool from the side, and sat straight in front of the podium. It was not until the teacher left that I was relieved.
I have never been good at management, and I am always afraid that I will be criticized by my teacher for my poor management. Fortunately, this time, the students are very disciplined, and I am also able to manage with ease, and I am also very at ease in adhering to the principles. The corners of my mouth rose slightly unconsciously. I was afraid of being seen by my classmates, so I had to bow my head and do my homework.
Soon after I looked down, I heard a faint voice near the right window. I threw one in and saw Li Jingyi talking. I usually don't want to say other people's names, so I stared at Li Jingyi with my eyes for a long time and admitted the warning. When Li Jingyi was talking happily, she glanced at me and found that I was staring at her. She seemed to understand what I meant, but she didn't restrain herself. There's really no way. Although Li Jingyi and I usually have a good relationship, we must criticize those who should be criticized. We can't protect her just because we are close. Thinking of this, I said loudly, "Li Jingyi, stop talking and be quiet!" Hearing this, she smiled at me, then shut up and buried herself in her homework.
I looked around the classroom and saw that every student was studying hard or doing homework, so I turned my attention to my homework with satisfaction and continued to do my homework for a while. I heard the voice just now again. My eyes glanced at the classroom, and I saw that it was still Li Jingyi talking. I think Li Jingyi must think that we usually have a good relationship, so I don't care what I said during my study. Originally, I wanted to turn a blind eye, so forget it, but on second thought: it is one thing to have a good relationship at ordinary times, and it is another to talk in class. How can you confuse public and private? As a class committee, I must set an example and not shield my good friend, so I picked up a piece of chalk and wrote Li Jingyi's name on the blackboard. After Li Jingyi saw it, although her anger was written on her face, she was still very scared and had to obediently say nothing.
After I saw her, she became very quiet and never moved her mouth. I think she really learned her lesson. She erased her name, adhered to her principles, and wrote three compositions.
I chatted with Li Jingyi after class, but she ignored me. I know she's angry with me. But I don't think I did anything wrong. No matter how good the relationship between classmates is, we should distinguish between public and private and stick to principles. I believe Li Jingyi will understand one day, and she will certainly understand me.
