In May, 20001,a middle school in Nevada, USA, gave a question during the entrance examination: Bill Gates had five locked drawers on his desk, which were marked with wealth, interest, happiness, honor and success respectively. Gates always takes only one key and locks the other four in the drawer. Which key is Gates carrying? In which drawer or drawers are the other four locks?

A foreign student from China who just arrived in the United States just happened to catch the exam. After seeing this problem, he panicked because he didn't know whether it was a Chinese problem or a math problem. After the exam, he went to ask his guarantor, a director of the school. The director told him that this was an intelligence test, the content was not in the book, and there was no standard answer. Everyone can answer freely according to his own understanding, but the teacher has the right to grade according to his point of view.

China students got 5 points on this 9-point problem. The teacher thinks that he didn't answer a word, which at least shows that he is honest, so he should be given more than half the score. What he can't understand is that his deskmate answered this question and only got 1 point. The deskmate's answer is that Gates has the key on the wealth drawer, and all the other keys are locked in this drawer.

Later, his American deskmate wrote to Bill Gates for an answer. Bill Gates wrote this sentence in his reply:

What interests you most hides the secret of your life.

Remember: what interests you most hides the secret of your life.

There is also a saying that the happiest thing in life is to waste time on the things that are most meaningful to you.

Do what you love, love what you do. A person does what he is interested in and makes itNo. 1. Happiness is after the storm.

For enterprises, do what they are good at and do what they do well. Business focuses on your advantages, and enlarges and lengthens your advantages, and success comes after suffering.

The same is true of study. Learning without interest is boring and bitter. Even if you persist in the end by perseverance, you won't have much success, because your heart is not there!

Don't force yourself to do things that don't interest you. If you have to do it, then find the fun of that thing, go deep into it and slowly cultivate interest! ↗

Interest is the best teacher.

Interest is the best teacher.

Climbing a mountain covered with white clouds along the valley, I didn't expect many people to take children of seven or eight years old. Climbing mountains, adults struggle to climb, let alone children. But the children are cheering, excited and chattering, always ahead of the adults. Beautiful valleys, blue clouds, wild flowers and trees, lush grasslands and deep stone steps attracted children's cheers. When we reached the mountain, we had to walk more than ten miles to a temple. Hearing this, the children were even more enthusiastic and walked ahead to open the way. At the end of the day, after walking forty miles, the adults were so tired that their backs ached and their legs ached, but the children raised their faces excitedly and asked, "When will you come here again?" Adults wonder: usually walking in the city, children complain about leg pain after walking a few miles. Why don't children complain about being tired after walking such a long mountain road? The beautiful scenery of birds and flowers brings children into seclusion; They are excited by the dazzling novelty; The bright future is full of suspense, he Shuang's heart. Interest is the wing of life, which can turn boring into liveliness, beauty and lightness. Interest is the best teacher. It can stimulate your potential, develop your wisdom, temper your will and cultivate your temperament, so that you can overcome many difficulties and reach the peak of success.

1. Find out why children don't like learning and help solve it:

JOY is still curious about new things and can calm down and explore. I remember when I was two years old, I was fascinated by opera. Every time I tell him to be quiet, I turn on the opera channel. He can sit quietly and watch for half an hour or even an hour. JOY doesn't like many things. The obvious thing is to do arithmetic. Add up less than ten, and two small hands are enough. Apart from memorizing more than a dozen, JOY didn't know that the concrete expressions of these abstract numbers could be hidden in her mind. I often hear when I refuse to lend him my hand (finger). I don't want to do this. I don't like doing arithmetic. ...

My friend gave me a way to solve the addition and subtraction within 20 with four children. The problem is that JOY is a little afraid of this somewhat difficult thing. It seems that eliminating fear is the first step. ...

2. Encourage children to succeed:

Every child is afraid of injections, and JOY is no exception. It is too early to tell him heroic stories, so we encourage him to be a brave boy, guide him to communicate with doctors and nurses, and minimize the stimulation of seeing a doctor and getting injections. Whenever Joey says to the nurse's sister, "Sister, when you gently hit. I think we are successful in this respect, and so are the children.

3. Reasonable guidance and companionship:

Eating and sleeping has always been JOY's biggest problem, but now the little guy sleeps well and consciously. Every time he was told to sleep, he ran upstairs and climbed into his crib alone. Sometimes he played with toys for a while, and sometimes let us tell a few stories, but he slept really well. It seems that the change is only a moment, but in order to let the little guy sleep consciously, in addition to the above storytelling methods, we also sacrificed entertainment time. At first, we slept happily at the same time, making him feel that he was not alone.

4. launch a competition;

The difficulty is still eating. Once I went to my uncle's house, I said that JOY's little cousin used to have a hard time eating, but now he is much better. The result of asking for advice is to get back a copy of Eating King and let the children strive to become eating kings. So every time we have dinner with JOY, the little guy often makes us pause, so we tell him that he can still be two kings and three kings if he can't be king. Unexpectedly, the by-product is that the little guy knows about the gold, silver, copper and iron cards and Guan Jiya's point army ... Although the problem of eating continues, the effect of the game is still somewhat.

5. Let children become teachers:

Every parent-teacher meeting or asking about his school performance, the teacher often mentions that the child likes to meddle. When he was very young, this guy would take care of his head and feet. It is not allowed to sit on the sofa and put your feet on the footstool. He'll make you put on your shoes. Watching TV and reading newspapers at the same time is also not allowed. He will take the newspaper away ... maybe these are all concrete manifestations of being a good teacher. It is also common for him to say "you say, ABCD", which outsiders often don't understand. In fact, he wants you to ask ABCD, and he will answer EFG.

Sometimes it's really a good idea for a child to be a teacher: he often asks what 5+6 is, or how to say purple English. If you answer, he is right, which is very interesting and strengthens his memory.

6, children's curiosity and thirst for knowledge:

JOY likes watching TV, from the earliest operas to the later advertisements to the present children's programs, from which she has learned a lot of knowledge and nourishment. We also use the situation to entertain and educate: when watching the weather forecast, we will talk about the geography of China; When watching the Olympics, JOY got to know most countries and flags (at the same time, we bought flag toys to help him understand and remember). Go out by car and tell him what road we will pass, what is a left turn and what is a big turn; When we call our grandparents, we ask them to dial their own numbers ... Learning happens inadvertently and the effect is particularly good. JOY knew the address and telephone number of her home, grandpa's home and grandma's home very early, and knew which car to take.
