Break a thousand strings.
Hu Xiaoyong
Many years ago, an old blind man took a little blind man wandering around. They make a living by singing for people with the erhu in their hands.
The little blind man said, master, when will you take me to treat my eye diseases? I don't want to be blind all my life.
The old blind man said, my master said that as long as you break a thousand strings, you can open the lid of the erhu, which contains the secret recipe for treating eye diseases.
The little blind man gasped, a thousand strings? What's a boy in Narrado? Can't you open the lid now?
The old blind man said without doubt, no! That won't work.
The little blind man continued to drift with the old blind man, and the erhu played by the little blind man became more and more popular. Whether it's the autumn moon in Pinghu or the happy sunshine, they all curl up under his slender fingers and always win the applause.
The little blind man vowed to break a thousand strings.
Many years later, the little blind man finally broke a thousand strings. At this time, the old blind master died and the little blind man became an old blind man.
The old blind man opened the lid of the erhuqin with trembling, and there was a note inside.
The old blind man showed this note to everyone, and everyone told him without exception that it was just a blank note.
The old blind man tore the note to pieces and tore his own heart to pieces. He wandered blankly in the street, muttering, "Master, why did you lie to me?"
The old blind man thought for a long time. He finally figured it out: the master wanted to motivate himself to practice the piano well, and he would not starve to death in the future.
Later, the old blind man brought a little blind man. They continued to play the erhu.
The little blind man said, master, when will you take me to treat my eye diseases? I don't want to be blind all my life.
The old blind man said, my master said that as long as you break a thousand strings, you can open the lid of the erhu, which contains the secret recipe for treating eye diseases.
The little blind man gasped, a thousand strings? What's a boy in Narrado? Can't you open the lid now?
The old blind man said without doubt, no! That won't work.
Life is like this. With a goal, you will feel that all the hard work is worth it. And once you lose your goal, you lose your faith in life.
Philosophy: Ideal is a lamp.
I once remembered this sentence: you can be ordinary, but you can never be mediocre. Indeed, the world is a drop in the ocean, and we are all ordinary, but under the call of ideals and persistent actions, ordinary people live a wonderful life. What I am afraid of is living aimlessly. Day by day, just enjoy, don't pay, sit around and play with things, just like a body without soul.
Liushahe once wrote an ideal poem, which is very meaningful to read. "Ideal is a stone, knocking out a single spark; Ideal is fire, which illuminates the road at night; Ideal is the road, leading us to the front ... "With ideal, life has hope and hope, and the ideal of life is for the ideal life. The blind man broke 1000 strings, which seemed incredible and out of reach, but the result really came true. This has to be said to be a true lie, that is, the ideal is the magical function of the lamp.
Modern life is complicated and limited by our own limitations. Our hearts will inevitably be obscured or even confused by the things in front of us, thus killing people's will and even rolling in the deep. In fact, as long as we always keep the ideal light bright in our hearts and put it into action, nothing can beat us. The external environment may be difficult to control, but as long as there is light in your heart, you have dreams, you wait for a bright future, and you stick to a belief, success will come unexpectedly.
This article leads to the theme of today's class meeting-ideal is a lamp! )
Last week, I asked everyone to design an inspirational card, just to let everyone set a goal for themselves, light an "ideal lamp" for themselves, and go on the road with hope. As Dang Longlong wrote in his wonderful class diary this morning, the second year of high school is "purgatory" and a marathon. In these nine months, the best state is to always have an ideal in my heart, and the most valuable quality is to always work hard for the ideal.
I carefully read many inspirational cards in the class (some students didn't hand them in), and I was filled with envy when I looked at these "inspirational" cards with novel design and heroic content. Why? Because you are still young, you still have the opportunity to work for those powerful and famous universities in the country, and I don't have such an opportunity. Then, inspired by your lofty aspirations, I am full of hope and energy for you. Even if I have a cold for more than a week, I can attend four classes every day without feeling tired (Miss Li asks for leave because her mother died)! I believe that if you study step by step and race against time, you will certainly create more glory in Jiyuan No.1 Middle School!
However, I still thought of some problems. Maybe I was too nervous to worry about it. I will bring them up here together. I hope that everyone will "change it if they have it, and encourage them if they don't"! That is the "three taboos" when setting goals.
Don't lose heart. As far as my understanding of a student's learning foundation and the past achievements of Yingcai Park are concerned, individual students set low goals for themselves. I'm not encouraging people to make a "Great Leap Forward" or "brag" about how bold people are and how productive the land is, but I'm thinking, since we have come to make up tuition fees, there is no doubt that we are one year behind the fresh graduates, so we will make up for this loss with higher scores and more ideal universities. So if you pass or get close to the specialist line this year, the goal for next year is only three. Are you worth it? I don't think it is worth it! In the same year, you passed three books this year, and the goal for next year is only two very ordinary books, not good schools and good majors in the two books-even if it is not the focus-is it worth it? I don't think it is worth it! Therefore, in order not to waste this year's time, we have to go up one step or even two, from junior college to two books, and from two books to key points.
Second, avoid comparison. As the saying goes, "people are more popular than others" vividly and sharply reveals the harm and stupidity of blind comparison. Everyone's hobbies, personality characteristics, especially the learning foundation can't be the same, which determines that our goals should not be the same. It's not hard to understand. More than 20 students in our class have crossed the second line and haven't left yet. What are their goals? Must be a key brand. Some students in our class didn't do very well in the exam this year, so our goal is to try to catch up, win two books and strive for the key points. This year, no student in Cai Ying Garden passed the junior college line last year but was admitted to the key points! Therefore, you should set an achievable goal for yourself according to your learning foundation and promotion space. Even if your ideal university is large in scale and famous by others, you don't have to feel embarrassed as long as it is achieved through hard work. Why? "I have no regrets if I try my best!" Moreover, after a college entrance examination, especially volunteering, we should know that not all the majors in famous universities are good, and the strong disciplines of some two universities and ordinary key universities are more powerful than those of some famous universities. I have a good friend whose scores reached the admission scores of Sun Yat-sen University and Wuhan University, and he finally applied for xidian university. Because of his major of interest, Xi 'an Electronics is a national key discipline, second only to Tsinghua University. After graduation, he was recommended to graduate students in this field. Now I work in a high-tech electronics company in Xi 'an with an annual salary of 60,000 and a probation period.
Three bogey vanity. In fact, comparison is vanity, but it is not enough to summarize the harm of vanity. Vanity is a kind of self-deception and a psychological burden. When setting goals, if you can't face yourself squarely, you will eventually feel sad and have a heavy psychological burden, which will affect your study and hinder your progress. Life needs struggle and struggle, but if the ideal is unattainable, there is no hope and there is no possibility of realization. Do you still have the energy to keep your fighting spirit high? A week, a month is fine. What about ten months?
1984, in the Tokyo International Marathon Invitational Tournament, the little-known Japanese player Ibn Yamada unexpectedly won the world championship. When the reporter asked him why he achieved such amazing results, Ibn Yamada smiled and said, "Beat your opponent with wisdom!" " "The reporters present were puzzled, thinking that Yamada was mystifying. How can you win a marathon by wisdom rather than physical strength and endurance? Two years later, the Italian International Marathon Invitational Tournament was held in Milan, and Ibn Yamada represented Japan. This time, he won the championship again. The reporter asked him to talk about his experience again. Ibn Yamada was silent for a while, but still said, "Beat your opponent with wisdom!" " The reporter is still puzzled. What kind of wisdom does he rely on?
10 years later, the answer was finally revealed in his autobiography: "Before every race, I have to take a bus to watch the race route carefully and draw more eye-catching signs along the way. For example, the first sign is a bank, and the second sign is a big tree ... until the game is over. After the race started, I rushed to the first goal at a speed of 100 meters. After reaching the first goal, I adjusted myself and rushed to the second goal at the same speed ... I broke down the 40-kilometer race into many small goals and finished it easily. In fact, I didn't understand this truth at first. I always aim at the flag at the finish line more than 40 kilometers away. As a result, I was exhausted after running to 10 km, and I was frightened by the long journey ahead.
If the ideal is a lamp, then the space for foundation and progress is air. If the ideal position is put too high, it will eventually go out because of lack of oxygen! Ibn Yamada is not greedy for perfection, and it is not a kind of wisdom to constantly set appropriate goals for himself! Its direct benefit is that you can run the whole course with hope and confidence, and unconsciously leave your tired opponent behind!
Therefore, when we set goals and ideals for ourselves, we should maintain a peaceful mentality of not being discouraged, not comparing with others, and not being vain. We should not only have lofty ideals, but also have a realistic foundation to maximize our potential and turn it into competitive strength. Under the guidance of the ideal lamp, run the high-step marathon happily and firmly and become your own champion!
