In the far east, there is a saint, Confucius. He is a historical giant, a cultural giant and an ideological giant. His words and deeds have influenced the world for 2500 years.
He is a diligent scholar. "There must be a teacher for a threesome", and his old adage infected all the later scholars.
Growing up, he was never shy about asking questions. He would ask anything. In order to enrich his knowledge, he worships people from all walks of life as teachers, so he is proficient in etiquette, music, archery, driving and calculation. He advocates the learning attitude of "learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous", advocates the learning method of "reviewing old things and learning new things", and feels the happiness of "learning while learning". Teaching disciples that "knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing" is praised by later generations.
He is an excellent educator. His "teaching without class" changed the past education model and trained more than 3,000 disciples, 72 of whom were excellent. He advocated teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and that teaching should learn from each other's strong points, which was spread in later education circles.
He is a politician who advocates benevolence. The benevolent loves others. "The sage is his doctor, and the benevolent is his scholar". On the one hand, he asked the rulers to unite as one, on the other hand, he asked the rulers to cherish the people. When he heard that people would rather be eaten by tigers than exploited by rulers, he sent out the feeling that "tyranny is fiercer than tigers"
He is a clever thinker. "Knowing is not as good as being kind, and knowing is not as good as being happy." "Wise men enjoy water, benevolent people enjoy Leshan, erudite scholars move, and benevolent people are quiet. Those who know are happy, and those who are good live long. " The dead are like a husband, and they don't give up day and night. ""He knew that the pine and cypress would wither when he was cold. "His philosophical words have influenced generation after generation. His other contribution was the compilation of Shangshu, Shijing, Etiquette, Jing Yue and Zhouyi, which were later called the Five Classics. He also edited the Spring and Autumn Annals based on Lu Shi, which became the first chronological history book. His remarks were compiled by his disciples into The Analects of Confucius, which has been passed down through the ages. He created Confucian culture and influenced the development of feudal society. Learning and thinking
Confucius, an educator more than two thousand years ago, once said, "Learning without thinking is useless", which means that if a person only knows rote memorization, but doesn't 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 process of food, learning without thinking is useless and swallowing dates without chewing; For example, we can't extrapolate. There is no digestion and absorption, and the knowledge you have learned cannot be turned into "doing it for yourself." Only by studying and thinking can we master what we have learned and draw inferences from others.
The combination of learning and thinking is the only way to master knowledge, which has been proved by successful cases at home and abroad. When Marxism-Leninism spread to the land of China, the producers of Marxism-Leninism, led by Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, absorbed the essence of Marxism-Leninism and, in combination with the reality of China, embarked on the road of "encircling the city from the countryside" and finally created a new socialist China. Imagine, if the revolutionary ancestors did not learn to think, think and practice, but blindly copied mechanically and dogmatically, how could the China revolution succeed? Can Galileo, a great scientist in the Renaissance, make an experiment of "two iron balls touching the ground at the same time" if he didn't think independently in his research? 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". In less than a century, the field of knowledge has expanded many times. "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 bright side by rote memorization alone. Therefore, American educational circles are trying to reform the original teaching 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. So do more: think in your study, put forward independent opinions in your thinking, and cultivate your thinking ability to wait 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.
(B) Talk about the one-sidedness of "born in sorrow and died in happiness"
Mencius said: "Born in sorrow, died in happiness." This sentence has been regarded as a warning motto for thousands of years. In fact, this sentence is extremely one-sided.
Yes, there are countless examples of "born in sorrow and died in happiness". For example, if Gou Jian, the King of Yue, had not been humiliated in Wu, how could he have lived a hard life after returning home? If you don't work hard, how can you become stronger and destroy Wu in one fell swoop? If China women's volleyball team does not suffer from cowardice in the competition with the world's top players, how can it jump up and create a miracle of "five consecutive championships"? These facts show that people can really survive and develop in hardship.
However, "born in sorrow, died in happiness" is conditional. What is this condition? That is to see if you have ideals, perseverance and spirit of struggle. As long as you have ideals, perseverance and the spirit of struggle. Then seek survival and development when encountering difficulties; Similarly, with ideals, perseverance and enterprising spirit, even in a comfortable environment, we will not go to the grave of death.
A person, who is troubled by troubles and can't get rid of the quagmire of troubles, just breaks the jar and falls passively, and doesn't fight against the bad situation, then he can't survive in troubles. Whether he is "alive" or "dead" depends on whether he does it or not. Only by "being" can we "survive", whether in trouble or happiness. "Inaction", regardless of adversity or prosperity, will inevitably lead to "death".
With the progress of the times, the people are marching towards a well-off society, fewer and fewer people are suffering, and most people are getting rich. While emphasizing "survival in difficulties", we should also talk about "development in happiness". As long as we treat "happiness" correctly and take prosperity as a broad runway for takeoff, then we can dominate "life" and "death" and grasp the key to success.
There are three factories, A, B and C, which are on the verge of closure, and the competent authorities have shown them yellow cards. A factory received a yellow card, and Qi Xin made concerted efforts to carry out enterprise reform, boldly employ talents, strengthen vertical and horizontal ties and strengthen enterprise management. As a result, the first year turned losses into profits, and the second year achieved a net profit of 654.38 million yuan. After the second factory received the yellow card, the leader resigned, and the employees went to find a way, and finally closed the door. Factory B didn't survive the hardship. Factory C is a township enterprise. The original fixed assets were only 3,000 yuan and there were 8 workers. After working for two years, its products rushed to the whole province, with an annual output value of 2 1 10,000 and 50 workers. In the fourth year, the factory has more than 0/00 employees/kloc, with an annual output value of one million yuan. Now, the products of Factory C have sold well in Asia. Factory c is getting more and more prosperous, and the good times have never stopped. It can be seen how important the word "for" is! History shows that no matter a country, a unit or a person, as long as they "act" and make unremitting efforts, they can "become weak and strong" and "become strong and strong"; If you do nothing, wait for happiness or enjoy the rest of your life, then "strong" will become "weak" and "weak" will tend to "die".
Therefore, the sentence "born in sorrow and died in happiness" is only half right, and it is not a perfect warning.
He is a historical monument, standing forever in the east of China and the world.
