Knowing shame is almost brave.
The world is big, and the brave take the lead. Why be brave when you are shameless? "Shame" is a taboo word, but it is also the only way to success in life. "Being brave after being ashamed" is the crystallization of the virtues of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, an inspiring gunshot on the historical runway and a prerequisite for the survival and development of all things in the universe. Therefore, the truth that "knowing shame is almost brave" has never changed since ancient times.
"Be brave after knowing shame" is a true portrayal of celebrities. People who can admit their shame are like a weak fire, which will soon burn the whole grassland. If people can reach this level, it can be said that this life is not in vain. Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, "the old country is unbearable to look back on the moon and the Ming Dynasty" and became a swan song throughout the ages; Du Fu, a poet in Tang Dynasty, hated "singing backyard flowers across the river" and expressed his patriotism. Chopin, a Polish pianist, abandoned his carefree heart and created amazing dance music. All three people are well aware of the shame of national subjugation and bravely praise their feelings. In the face of "shame", if we can be calm, the degree will be extraordinary.
"Being brave after knowing shame" is the basic condition for social development. "Courage" is like a Torah machine for reclaiming farmland, and "knowing shame" is yuan oil and motivation. Without them, you can't move. Their existence makes development everywhere. The emergence of a "oil-poor country" has inspired thousands of oilfield workers and made Daqing a miracle of China. In the name of fascism, the German people are ashamed and repented, and are admired by people all over the world. If you don't even have the courage to admit shame, how can you survive and develop in change?
On the contrary, if you hide in a dark corner, or are ashamed of being "aboveboard", you can only become the laughing stock of history, and eventually you will be drowned in ridicule and contempt. For example, Japan does not dare to accept realistic sanctions. On the one hand, it falsified the history of aggression against China, on the other hand, it visited the Yasukuni Shrine. This will only trample on your dignity and push the development of society to a bottomless pit.
Therefore, "knowing shame is almost brave" is a root, rowing the boat of life to the other side of success; "Knowing shame is almost brave" is an arrow of faith that shoots at the apex of light; "Knowing shame is almost brave" is a forest, holding an oath to the boundless blue sky.
"Being brave after knowing shame" is a true portrayal of celebrities and a basic condition for social development. Similarly, it is also an unchanging truth since ancient times.
A heart of shame, a heart of courage.
An Eternal Monument-Confucius
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.
He is a historical monument, standing forever in the east of China and the world.
(A), 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.
Where there is a will, there is a way. This sentence expounds the dialectical relationship between "ambition" and "success": "ambition" can be "success", and if you want to be "success", you must be "ambition"; Without ambition, things can't be done. (In view of the argument, analyze the dialectical relationship between the two)
This sentence is very reasonable and can tell the true meaning of "everything depends on human effort". Isn't it? Please see: During the Spring and Autumn Period, wuyue competed for supremacy, Wu Sheng was defeated, and Gou Jian, the king of Yue, was put in prison. (The historical story of "Courage to Eat and Drink" tells the true meaning of "success") But he was unwilling to give in, determined to take revenge, and finally defeated the State of Wu, leaving a beautiful talk of "Courage to eat and drink"; The famous mathematician Hua (a great change from not graduating from junior high school to a mathematical giant) once again emphasized the true meaning of success: determination first. When he was a child, faced with the reprimand of "no mathematical mind", he established his own ambition. Although he didn't even have a junior high school diploma, he eventually became a giant in the field of mathematics ... Many politicians and scientists at home and abroad proved the correctness of the sentence "Where there is a will, there is a way" with their own actions.
But can "where there is a will, there is a way"? Not exactly. Because there are still some conditions between "ambition" and "success" that play an important role. Without these conditions, even if you are ambitious, things will be difficult to achieve. The key conditions among these conditions are as follows:
First, the "ambition" of those who have the will should conform to the objective reality. In other words, the "ambition" set by a person cannot be a fantasy or fantasy divorced from objective reality; When "ambition" conflicts with objective scientific laws and is divorced from each other, then "things" will never be "achieved". For example, some people are determined to develop perpetual motion machines, and they have spent their whole lives on it, but they have never developed them. Why is this? The reason is simple: its ambition does not conform to the objective law. The knowledge of physics tells us that when the machine is running, mechanical energy is converted into other forms of energy, and the loss of energy in the process is inevitable. Therefore, the "ambition" of developing perpetual motion machines will never come true. It can be seen that meeting the requirements of objective reality is a necessary prerequisite for the success of the cause of "where there is a will, there is a way". From one aspect, it is discussed that meeting the requirements of objective reality is a necessary prerequisite for the success of the cause of "those who have a will", and the central argument is demonstrated from the side.
Second, the "ambition" of a willing person must be an eternal "perseverance" (the second premise of making up your mind) and must be devoted to unremitting hard work. That is to say: you can't aspire to be a scientist today, a writer tomorrow and a politician soon, so you always yearn for it, and its "things" will be very difficult; Its ambition must always point to a goal. No matter how the outside world changes, no matter what setbacks it encounters, it is "spoony". This is even more emphasizing: with the "perseverance" that never changes, there must be actions that never change. In order to realize your ambition, don't be afraid of difficulties, sarcasm, setbacks and failures; We should continue to work hard, continue to explore, open our diligent feet and trudge on the winding mountain road leading to success. Only in this way, and only in this way, can we "where there is a will, there is a way" (this paper discusses that "perseverance" is another premise of "where there is a will, there is a way", and discusses the central argument from another side. Shi, a great historian and writer in ancient China, was determined to write a unique historical work when he was young. To this end, he not only devoted his whole life to the voluminous history books, sorting out broken chapters, traveling with the people and collecting rich historical materials. Even after being imprisoned and tortured, he didn't become depressed. On the contrary, he became more determined and depressed. Inspired by the lofty ideal of "writing history", he worked hard to write, and finally wrote China's masterpiece from Xuanyuan to Hanwu for more than 3,000 years in his later years. The fact that Sima Qian made unremitting efforts to finally complete Historical Records once again strongly illustrates the view that "where there is a will, there is a way".
In short, "where there is a will, there is a way" does not mean that there is a will, but only shows the dialectical relationship between "where there is a will, there is a way": where there is a will, there is a way; Where there is a realistic will, there is no way; And where there is a will that conforms to reality, there is no way. Only by organically integrating the above conditions can we "do things well".
Young friends, the flowers of success are ready to be dedicated to everyone who has the will, but can you get them? It's up to you. (Finally, by analyzing the relationship between ambition and achievement, the central argument is further discussed. )
Comment and analysis
The topic is the central argument of this article "Where there is a will, there is a way". The paper pays full attention to its rationality and universality. Firstly, the dialectical relationship between "ambition" and "success" is expounded. Through comparative analysis, readers feel that "ambition" means "achievement" and "no ambition" means "failure", and naturally there is the following. The story of Gou Jian, the King of Yue, and Hua, a mathematician, is also quoted to prove the correctness of this truth. Then it analyzes two preconditions of "confirmation". Finally, combined with real life, I emphasize the view that "where there is a will, there is a way".
