The line of sight stopped on a street with few pedestrians. A kitten lay helpless on the road. Somehow, her legs are covered with blood, and it seems that she can't walk any further.
Soon, the kitten attracted passers-by to watch. There are more and more people, as if to block the street
"Look, Mom, its leg is hurt!" A little boy who seems to have just finished class said that he was going to touch the kitten, but his mother suddenly pulled him back: "There are many bacteria on stray cats. What if it infects you? " With that, she pulled the little boy back a few steps. "It must have a master," said a lady. "Her master should be ashamed of his behavior!" She has a sense of moral superiority, which is obvious from her tone of voice, because she takes care of her pets. A man who looks rich said, "aren't we paying enough taxes to cope with this situation?" Say that finish, a few friends standing by nodded in agreement. "Animals should learn to take care of themselves. Many animals are kept at home, pampered and worshipped like immortals. But if one day, the owner goes out of the city or abandons it, it can't even support itself! " A well-dressed and knowledgeable young man added. At this moment, everyone showed a satisfied smile because they all published such an incisive analysis. However, no one noticed the kitten's pain at that time.
After a while, a little girl of about seven or eight years old struggled in from outside the crowd. She looked piteously at the kitten's bloody leg and looked around. Everyone around her is smiling, but she has no intention of helping the kitten. "Why don't you help it?" The little girl asked doubtfully and walked slowly to the kitten. She took out a piece of toilet paper from the small schoolbag on her back, wrapped the kitten's leg and held it up. "You must be very painful? But it doesn't matter, it will be fine in a while! " The little girl said, holding the kitten, walked out of the crowd and disappeared into a bright sunshine.
"Who is she?" A man asked. "She must be the incarnation of God!" "She must be an angel!" "She must be a prophet!" Many people are talking loudly. But the boy said, "no, mom, I can see it clearly." She is not special. "

20 12 On June 7th, the American Boston Herald published the graduation speech "You are not special" by David McCullough Jr, a teacher of Wellesley High School in Boston, which immediately triggered a heated discussion among major social networks in the United States, and the major mainstream media in Europe and America quickly intervened in the report and discussion. Yesterday, nearly a month has passed, but people's enthusiasm for this discussion remains undiminished. Many people call it "the greatest graduation speech in American history".
Wellesley High School in Boston is an elite high school in the United States, which is famous far and near. But Luo Cheng said to the high-spirited graduates, "You are not special. You are no different. The evidence that can be seen is everywhere. Even if you are one in a million, there are 6.8 billion people on the earth, which means there are nearly 7,000 people like you. You see, if everyone is special, then no one is special. We Americans have recently become more fond of praise than real achievements, which is harmful to us. "
..... The happiest thing in life will follow, provided that you realize that you are not special. Because everyone is special. "
Reviewing the past helps to understand the present.
Comprehensive use of the four methods mentioned last time, such as "Looking at the Ridge and Becoming a Peak-the thinking of examining the topic of new material composition", especially "keyword method" and "emotional attitude tendency revealed in the material", students can generally be clear:
1. The topic revealed by the material should be "You are not special", not "special".
2. "You are not special, you are not different", "elite high school" and "the happiest thing in life will follow, provided that you realize that you are not special" are keywords with obvious intention orientation.
Material induction
1, like the original appearance of praise, enriching life is a result and a pleasant by-product. When you think more.
Important things, life will naturally be enriched. Climbing a mountain is not for planting flags, but for meeting challenges, enjoying the air and enjoying the scenery. Climb up and you will see the world, not let the world see you.
2. The essence of success lies in multiple understandings of success. Any happy ordinary person is successful. The ultimate goal of education is to make people happy, not to achieve a successful and complete life.
In recent years, we strongly feel that our elite culture and elite education have gone too far. "We can't lose at the starting line" encourages children to show their individuality and actively compete, but at the same time, it also stifles the normal state of children as ordinary people. The so-called "success study" of "being a big official and earning a lot of money" was noisy for a while, and "Don't come to me if you don't have 40 million 40 years old". In our education, whether parents or schools, the purpose of all learning is often not to be ordinary workers, but to strive to become special "winners" and "people". Such a goal not only makes us lose respect for ordinary people and ordinary life in our struggle, but also alienates some more important contents in our lives. For example, there are many ordinary workers around us who silently contribute. They work hard and complain. Their kindness and simplicity have not received our heartfelt respect, admiration and love, including our relatives. The social ideal of "being a screw that never rusts" has also been widely ridiculed and indifferent. On the other hand, many children also fall into constant anxiety and resentment because of their lack of "not special" calmness and calmness. These are undoubtedly the major mistakes in our education in recent years, and they are also one of the root causes of some social problems at present. In the future, if a large number of groups are unwilling or will not become "non-special groups", the consequences will be more serious. Therefore, it is also urgent for us to remind them that "you are not special".
problem solving
This is a good topic to live in the present. In conception, guide students to learn to tell the truth and express their true nature. It weakens, deconstructs and even subverts our deep-rooted or kidnapped values. All along, our understanding of "success" is single, that is, transcending the secular world, being outstanding, standing out from the crowd, and overriding everything ... Our education, whether it is school education or family education, has been promoting the successful philosophy of "Gao Daquan", so that in kindergarten, if you ask "what is your ideal", everyone will happen to coincide. In the family, we are not only special, but also unique. With our birth, the sense of superiority and self-centeredness of "I am special" flows in our blood, making us willful, surly and pampered ... We lack respect and respect for ordinary people around us and are obsessed with strengthening ourselves with false and fanatical dreams. We take it for granted that we are born different.
However, with the growth of age and experience, we suddenly found that our unreasonable sense of superiority was severely hit by the cruel reality, and even shattered. The gap between the two makes our hearts start to be unbalanced. We suddenly realized that we are not special, ordinary or even mediocre. So, we began to re-examine ourselves and know ourselves. We realized that I was just a figure among all sentient beings, so that once I entered the vast sea of people, I would never be found again.
So we adjust our mentality and reorient our lives. Since you can't be a great hero, be an ordinary and happy person and have a full day. We finally completed the difficult and gorgeous turn from the fog to the real earth.
This is not a carefree situation. It is not time that has worn away our will, softened our ambition and smoothed our edge. Instead, it becomes mature, rational, transparent and peaceful. Most people grow up like this.

So humble and low-key, it reproduces the demeanor of the elderly. -To Yu Pei.

9. Mo Yan won the "Three Rural Awards". He said: This award suits me best. I'm just a farmer who can tell stories. He didn't feel anything special when he won the Nobel Prize. He positioned himself as a farmer, which showed his humility and sobriety, as well as his love for the land. High-spirited people always think they are special and only arrogant.
