Chapter 15 15. Micro-education

Appreciation: Bill Gates' mother, Mary Gates, sent out a questionnaire for the University of Washington: What did you inherit from your mother?Her son, Bill Gates' answer is: Mom, you never say that I am inferior to others, you always look for something worthy of praise in what I do-what Bill Gates got is appreciation .Americans say that every child may become a president, but if there is no appreciation, the child will deviate from the happiness of life. Crown Ritual: Some students like to play crown ceremony.The Crown Ceremony is an ancient coming-of-age ceremony. After the coming-of-age ceremony, you are no longer a child, but an adult.The purpose of the ceremony is to create a sense of responsibility in young people.This custom is still preserved in Japan. The difference from ours is that the Japanese crown ceremony does not deliberately dress up, but emphasizes the right to vote. From this day on, you have the right to vote, and you can use this right to influence and change the world around you.

Years: Young people must remember such a thing, those old guys who are old-fashioned, weak, conservative, and not enterprising, they were also young, and they were full of ambition and self-confidence like the young people now For two hundred years, it will hit the water for three thousand miles.However, the years have worn away their fighting spirit, and finally accepted their fate of failure helplessly. Since then, they have regarded themselves as a mountain ridge in front of young people, and have become a stubborn force that annoys young people. Generation gap: There was a scholar in the Qing Dynasty who asked his teacher to revise his article.He was having a good time correcting it, but some yamen guards broke into the door and dragged the teacher into prison. It turned out that the article brought by the student was written by the emperor... After all, the teacher's arrogance is human nature, and the student's cunning is terrifying.Once young people fight against the previous generation, they are always attached to power. This is the reason why we cannot get rid of the shadow of power.

Old news: In June 1947, three students from Hunan Yunlu Middle School returned at night and passed by the checkpoint of the police headquarters. The sentry asked: Password!The three students shouted in unison: "Lao Tzu!"The sentinel was angry and fired three empty shots into the sky.The three students were sad and angry. When they returned to the school, they quarreled. The teachers and students in the school were furious. They rushed out, surrounded the sentry post, and disarmed the sentry.The police headquarters bowed their heads to the school to admit their mistakes, and promised not to provoke students in the future... History is like a dream, and the past is so glorious.

Reading: Reading is a pleasure for a few people. Many people don’t know what is the use of reading. There are also people who are naturally numb to words and have no feeling. Letting such people read is like letting them chew wood. It is very uncomfortable.But the more people who don't read, the more picky they are about books.People often complain about how bad the current books are, but you may not know that these worst books sell far more than world famous ones—he is not complaining about the poor books, but looking for an excuse not to read . Structure: All academic books are closely linked in logic. No matter how vivid the logic is, it needs to be racked to ponder. People who ponder it will find it lively and interesting. Those who don’t like pondering and only like to shout slogans will stay away.

Examination: Huang Kan, a master of Chinese studies, took the examination of scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. After the examination, he was wandering in the examination room. He saw a candidate setting up a pot to cook a duck. He waited for the duck to be cooked. The old duck soup kicked over.If someone wanted to beat him, he said with a smile: "You can beat him, if you beat him again, you won't be able to eat a duck anymore... Examinations were once said to be the worst examination system, but they can cook old duck soup and fight. You can see their humanity." One spot. Doubt: If you just want to believe something, you don’t need to read books. If you doubt something, you need to find the answer in the book.

Education: The current Emperor Akihito of Japan, his teacher when he was a child, was a strong man who was five big and three thick. Whenever the little emperor couldn't answer the questions, the teacher would pat him on the back.Whenever the little emperor was lazy and didn't want to study, the teacher yelled at the little emperor: You are going to become the emperor in the future. If you don't work hard now, what will you do in the future? Education: In 1936, Chiang Kai-shek sent Chen Bulei to invite Zhu Kezhen to be the president of Zhejiang University.Zhu said: Yes, but there are two conditions. One is to give a lot of money, and the other is that you, the Kuomintang, cannot enter the school.Chen Bulei said: The first thing is okay and can be guaranteed. As for the second thing, you can think about it.After Zhu Kezhen considered it, he still decided to keep the Kuomintang out of the university, and the school did not have a Kuomintang department.Chiang Kai-shek expressed his submission to this.

Education: Jiang Weiguo said that his father taught him two things that made him most unforgettable: one is that when his father taught him to hang clothes, he should hang them by the collar so that he would not lose his mind; the other was that his father taught him to sit on a stool When going up, be sure to sit in the middle, or you will fall over if you sit sideways.The first thing taught him to outline the key points, and the second thing taught him to grasp the main points—in fact, the second thing taught him that people's thoughts and concepts must not be deviated. Education: In the universities of the Republic of China, students could freely transfer departments.For example, Zang Kejia studied foreign languages ​​at first, but he can only play with square Chinese characters, how could he make such complicated letters?So I asked to transfer to the Chinese Department, and became a famous poet... The school is not the army, the students are not soldiers, and education is not control. The major should be determined one or two years before graduation. Rigid mode should change.

Donnelly: A 17-year-old boy in the UK bought lottery tickets indiscriminately, won a jackpot of 2 million pounds by mistake, bought a house, a car, traveled and bought a luxury house.After playing everything, I immediately lost my purpose in life, moved away, avoided the world, and suffered from depression.He said: Everyone faces death in a different way, and everyone will leave one day. At the age of 29, he died in a mansion - there is nothing crueler than giving you enough money but not giving you a purpose in life. Trap: We are taught: to learn a certain spirit from someone.When we nod our heads, we also lose the ability to think independently—whenever the word spirit is mentioned, the connotation and extension of spirit must be defined by power, so what we finally learn is only absolute obedience to power.However, what we should really learn is the specific things of specific people. Good things do not necessarily have spirit, and bad things do not necessarily have spirit. It is better to learn good things without spirit than to learn bad things with spirit.

Beauty: Someone asked Lin Chiling: Who is the number one beauty in Taiwan?Lin Chiling rushed to answer - my mother!Why?Lin Chiling explained: Her tender eyes are always full of love and warmth, and her open-minded great wisdom always blooms with a woman's calmness and elegance... Comments: Parents are the saints in our lives who only want to give and don't expect anything in return Angels, if you are not aware of this, it is only because you are bathed in their love. Matching people: Zeng Guofan's matching skills are the most effective.So what's his trick?There are no tricks, only dumb kung fu.Zeng Guofan has a diary of appraising people. Whenever he meets people, he writes their characteristics and judgments on it. For example, he wrote in his diary: Yu Kegui, a hundred-year-old Pingjiang soldier, twenty-four years old, full of smiles , cute, short and shrewd... Wisdom comes from accumulation, keeping a diary for three years will naturally develop a pair of discerning eyes.

Inheritance: The theory of evolution originated from Darwin's grandfather Rasmus, who believed that all life in the world originated from ancestors with strong vitality.No one believed this, certainly not Darwin.But when Darwin went to South America, he had a choice between God's creation and the Rasmus view... If you don't have the right idea in your head, you can't see a right world. Self-foolishness: During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, a commoner’s mother was ill, so he cut off his liver and gave it to his mother. The local people asked for a petition, but the officials of the Ministry of Rites thought it was a foolish act and should not be given a petition.Yongzheng commentary: 1. Jingbiao. 2. The officials of the Ministry of Rites neglected their duties and made the people stupid. 3. In the future, if this kind of thing happens again, kill it directly, and don't complain anymore... Don't be afraid of being fooled by others, but be afraid of being fooled by yourself.Fooling others is temporary, self-deception is long-term and lasting.

Farewell, Leighton Stuart: He was born in Hangzhou and grew up speaking Hangzhou dialect. Although his father is an American, he is a Chinese through and through.As an adult, he served as the president of Yenching University, influencing a generation with completely American-style education.During the Anti-Japanese War, Leighton Stuart came back from the United States and asked the person who picked him up: whether the students we teach have taken to the streets to petition.The answer is: yes.Leighton Stuart was overjoyed and said: This is the student I taught. Sage: Liang Qichao believes that education should be divided into three parts: intellectual education, emotional education and mental education.Intellectual education teaches knowledge, the purpose is to achieve knowledge without confusion.The purpose of cultivating a perfect personality with emotion is to achieve that the benevolent have no worries.Mental education is to temper people's will, the purpose is to achieve the courage of the brave... Now think about it, what is the purpose of education?Knowledge, character and courage, all these things that should be learned in school, can only be realized by ourselves. Helplessness: What really gives us wisdom is our conscious self-learning.The purpose of education is to find out these people who love to learn and provide them with an upward path. Angry: Education cannot change intelligence, nor can it affect people's moral character. Therefore, for educators, the greatest pain is that those who desperately need education refuse education. If you want to teach, you must first be educated feel their own needs.Confucius said: Don't be angry, don't open up, don't be angry, don't express.Of the three thousand disciples of Confucius, only seventy-two were angry. Puppy love: Some parents are worried about their children's puppy love, but there is no need to do so. Take a look at King Louis XIII of France. This child dared not go into the bridal chamber on his wedding night.Later, the king's sister Vendome came on stage, took her husband to bed, and let the little king watch under the bed... After the performance, the sister told the little king, go, find your queen, that's the way to scare the little king Gotta howl. Self-improvement: A person's life achievement has nothing to do with education. If we don't want to sink, we must not rely on the sky, the earth, and education. We must find ways to complete our own life education. If you fail to do this step, then I am sorry , you need to start right now. Confrontation: Jia Baoyu in Grand View Garden is blessed with the most superior educational resources, but in the end he has become a typical example of educational failure. It is precisely because of his educational failure that he has attracted infinite sympathy from the world.We don't want others to educate us, we want ourselves to grow freely like wild flowers in the wilderness. Poison: A youth asks Socrates, how can knowledge be obtained?Socrates took the young man to the sea and pressed his head into the water.Socrates asked: When you sink into the water, what do you desire most?The young man replied: Breathe.Socrates shouted: Yes, you must pursue knowledge like you pursue breath in water, otherwise you will be drowned in ignorance... Shortly thereafter, Socrates was executed for poisoning young people. Educator: Hu Shi took the exam blindly, and the topic at that time was "On No Rules and No Rules", but Hu Shi didn't care how the question was asked. After a while, the teacher who graded the paper took a look: This dead boy, he is off topic, so give him full marks... This is the real educator. He grades the students based on their strengths, instead of trying to force the children into the classroom. Go into the dead frame. Reward: Former US President Roosevelt once taught in a church school. A male student was fighting with someone. Roosevelt asked: Why did you fight?Student replied: That man bullied my sister.Roosevelt was overjoyed when he heard this: Well played, I will reward you with a dollar... He actually took out a dollar and rewarded that student.The school was dumbfounded by this, and kicked Roosevelt out of the school that day... Sigh, a cowardly country probably can't tolerate such a bloody leader, right? Manifesto: In 1919, Cai Yuanpei published his famous "Declaration of Reluctant to Be President of Peking University", saying: I will never be the president of a university that is not free.Freedom of thought is a common practice in universities all over the world.Peking University has always been bound by old ideas, and it is not free.I went in and wanted to open things up a bit, so the Ministry of Education came to interfere, and the State Council came to interfere... In a word, the nation has hope only when there is freedom of thought. Tutor: Du Yuesheng, who is famous in Shanghai, burned all the IOUs written to him by others before he died, saying: I don’t want my descendants of Du Yuesheng to become people who go around chasing debts. Evaluation: Kao served as the president of the University of Hong Kong and was boycotted by students.Once at the school celebration, the students suddenly rushed to the podium, grabbed the microphone, babbled nonsense, and forced Gao Kun a doll wrapped in a condom, which meant that Gao Kun taught the students to be stupid.There are also students who published an open letter, saying that Gao Kun has achieved nothing since he became the principal.Gao Kun did not argue, did not get angry with his children, and won the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics three years after leaving office. College entrance examination: During the period of the Republic of China, Zang Kejia applied for the National Qingdao University, and had to choose one of two questions in the Chinese language test: one was why did you apply for the National Qingdao University?The second is miscellaneous feelings.Zang Kejia chose the second question, and the full text is: Life is always chasing magic light, but whoever regards magic light as magic light will sink into the boundless sea of ​​suffering... After writing, including punctuation, it is only 30 words.The examiner was Wen Yiduo, who gave him a score of 98, and then looked at the math, and got a score of zero.Zero is zero, admission. Writing: A student once asked Liu Wendian, a master of Chinese studies, how to write a good article?Liu A: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.What does that mean?Observation: Observe life more.World: understand people's sophistication.Sound: The article should pay attention to the rhythm of the sound.Bodhisattva: It means that the thoughts of the article must have compassion for the world and people, and a Bodhisattva heart that cares about all living beings... Wisdom: Children in Jewish families have to answer the question of adults: "There is a treasure that has no shape, color, and smell, and no one can take it away. Do you know what it is?" Will tell him: "Child, it is more valuable than gold and gems. As long as you live, it will always follow you. It is wisdom." Education: Jews attach great importance to education. Parents in every family often go bankrupt for their children's education; the country and government also have strict regulations and preferential policies on education.Israel's "Compulsory Education Law" stipulates that children and adolescents aged 5 to 16 must receive compulsory education. If they wish, they can still enjoy free education until they are 18 years old.Emphasis on education has become a fine tradition of the Jewish nation. Education: Liu Chuanzhi is the godfather of Chinese business circles.At his father's funeral in 2003, he talked about such a thing.When he was 17 years old, he suddenly faced a severe test. His father and mother only said one sentence to him: "No matter what my child does, as long as he is an upright person, he will be my good child." With words, he guided Liu Chuanzhi through a journey of 40 years. Concern: For Cao Dewang, chairman of Fuyao Group, his great-grandfather had a saying that made him think hard: Do things with your heart, and do as much as you have.Cao's father said to Cao Dewang: When you understand this truth, I will be gone.Now, Cao Dewang admits this.At that time, my father, who was drunk, said more than 20 "hearts": People must have self-esteem, self-confidence, conscience, sincerity, painstaking efforts... as much as they have heart, they can do as many things. Diploma: Laurie is the granddaughter of Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart Group.She graduated from the USC Annenberg School for Communication in May 2004 with a bachelor's degree.Unexpectedly, her roommate Martinez broke the news on TV that during college, she "ghost-written" term papers and academic assignments for Laurie for three and a half years, and the "remuneration" was 20,000 US dollars.This led to Laurie having to voluntarily give up her bachelor's degree a few days ago, and returned her college diploma to her alma mater, the University of Southern California. Righteousness: The so-called education is to teach children to be a person with conscience and dignity.Conscience is not to do anything ignorant.Dignity is not doing things that are shameful.If education avoids conscience, obliterates human dignity, and replaces it with so-called collective dignity, then our living environment will deteriorate, women and children will not be protected, and civilians will be exploited.Public officials must learn to say no to orders that lose their conscience, otherwise, you will be the next to be hurt. Conscience: Education aims to awaken people's inner conscience and self-esteem.Once education goes astray, replacing individuals with groups, ignoring individual independence, ignoring individual rights, and one-sided emphasis on sacrifice—especially meaningless sacrifices, it will lead to the loss of individual dignity.A group composed of individuals who have lost their dignity must lack conscience, tend to the will to power, and become a vassal of violence.Those in power must be brazen and take pleasure in teasing the fool. Principle: When Harvard University celebrates its 350th anniversary, the then President Ronald Reagan is invited to officiate.Reagan took this opportunity to let his subordinates convey an intention to the school: he hoped that Harvard would grant him an honorary doctorate.The Harvard board of directors believes that: the president has never engaged in academic research, and the title of honorary doctor cannot be given to him.As a result, Reagan did not attend the Harvard University celebration.In this regard, Harvard's response was: You are free to not come, and I have to stick to my principles. Proud: Bill Gates, the world's computer software giant, once studied at Harvard University.At that time, because he saw great business opportunities in computer software development and was afraid of missing out, he dropped out of school to start Microsoft.After becoming famous, Bill Gates pleaded with Harvard to issue him a college diploma, but Harvard University refused to agree on the grounds that his achievements in the business world could not replace the courses he should have completed at Harvard. Regression: Li Ka-shing pointed out that due to the pursuit of efficiency and effectiveness, human life can become ruthless, and humanity can also be lost. He firmly believes that through education, the lost humanity can be restored. On a drizzly day, Long Yingtai took his son for a walk by the lake.Long Yingtai wanted to hold an umbrella for his son, but his son shoved it away.Then Long Yingtai pointed out the scenery to his son, look, how beautiful it is... The son's reaction was to press his mother's hand down, I saw it, don't point...Education is a process of letting go, no matter when you let go, the child will Bumps, bumps, bruised nose and swollen face.But if you are reluctant to let go, your child will not mature. In the past, there was a professor at Peking University, Ma Shijun, who was a famous theoretical physicist and studied meson theory.Once the school started, Ma Shijun said to a student: Last semester, you got 59 points in the test, and I added 1 point to you, so you will get 1 more point in the test this semester... Things like test scores should be done well. It can guide children upwards and stimulate children's interest in learning.If it is not done well, the test scores will become a tool to torture the children and make the parents of the children suffer. Tell a story about Feng Shundi.She is a mother who knows how to educate her children. She never criticizes her son in front of others, so as not to hurt her son's self-esteem.But every morning, she would give morning training to her son. She would explain everything to her son about what he said wrong and what he did wrong, and tell him where he went wrong.No matter how poor the family was, she still wanted to buy books for her son... Later her son Hu Shi became a great thinker and won 35 doctorate titles in his lifetime. Tell a story about tutoring.During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a talented woman, surnamed Wu, who was super beautiful and loved reading.A young and Dangerous boy came and proposed to her when he saw her, but the clan refused.But Wu Cai said: If you don't agree with this guy, if he loses his temper, wouldn't it be miserable?So I got married.After that, she trained her husband Sun Jian and her eldest son Sun Ce to be a hero of the world, and her second son Sun Quan to become an emperor.Wu talented women's education methods, there is no fixed rules, flexible and changeable. Ancient style: Cheng Dequan, a scholar in Sichuan in the late Qing Dynasty, went to Heilongjiang as an alternate magistrate.When the Russians invaded, Cheng Dequan was ordered to negotiate with them, but the Russians ignored them and fired bombardment. Cheng Dequan rushed forward and blocked the muzzle with his body. The Russians were shocked and stopped the bombardment.The wife of the Russian minister told Cixi about this, so Cheng Dequan was promoted to governor of Jiangsu.During the Revolution of 1911, many bannermen were killed, but Jiangsu was peaceful because Cheng Dequan had spoken beforehand to prohibit indiscriminate killing. When Lincoln went out, an old beggar in rags saluted him. Lincoln stopped and took off his hat respectfully.This is called upbringing, teaching is the imposition of external forces, and nurturing is inner self-cultivation.The purpose of education is to activate your inner self-esteem, to endow the educated with the responsibility of life and the lofty freedom to pursue the realm of thought.If education does not have this goal, it will become a rigid thing, and the educated will only feel pain. In 1932, Mei Yiqi, President of Tsinghua University, said: ... I believe that the responsibility of professors is not limited to instructing students how to study and how to study knowledge.Any professor who can lead students to study must be able to guide students how to behave, because studying and being a person are related.Those who can sincerely work hard to learn, they must not cheat, do not cheat, and do not cheat, so their academic career will eventually achieve success... Comments: Teaching children to be human is more important than teaching children to read. During the Republic of China, there was a professor in Sichuan, Meng Wentong, a master.What can this master do?In every exam, Professor Meng does not ask students to ask questions, but asks students to ask questions to test him.In fact, this is to test the depth of students' knowledge. Only when they have learned clearly can they ask questions of a high level.Moreover, Professor Meng's examination room is set in a teahouse. Once the students pass the test questions of a certain level, the professor is overjoyed and invites the candidates to drink tea... Now the master is gone, and only tea is left. Jin Yuelin believes that all kinds of knowledge have their own systems, and since they are systems, they cannot be separated from logic.So he talks about logic.But the students felt that the class was boring, so they asked him: Why do you want to do this stuff?Jin Yuelin replied: I think it is very interesting... In fact, the value of learning does not lie in its usefulness, but in its fun and fun.If more and more Chinese people can experience the fun in knowledge and thinking, this country will be arrogant. Tell me about Mr. Mei Yiqi.Mr. Mei has a famous saying: A university student is not called a building, but a master.When Mr. Mei was at the Southwest Associated University, Yunnan Wang Longyun strongly supported him. After he supported him, he came to Mr. Mei and said that his son was not good enough to pass the exam. He wanted to see if he could accommodate him...Mr. Mei did not hesitate to send a teacher to tutor him immediately Master Long, take the exam again in the second year.Of course, the Long family had to pay a high supplementary tuition fee. Professors were worth a lot in those years. In 1937, in order to preserve the cultural fire, the university traveled south to Changsha.The two principals Jiang Menglin and Zhang Boling went to inspect the student dormitory and found that the house was dilapidated.Jiang Menglin said: Students cannot be allowed to live in this kind of place.Zhang Boling said: No, students should be allowed to live in this kind of place.Jiang Menglin said: I will not let my children live here.Zhang Boling said: If it is my child, he must be allowed to live in this kind of place... Two educational ideas, which one do you support? Bill Gates' father said: We don't allow our children to watch more TV, but we will buy a lot of books for them.If the child reads late, we will not force him to rest.When encountering a question that you don't understand, someone will always turn to the book to find the answer and read it to everyone.Let the child form the idea that if you have a problem, the answer must exist somewhere, all you have to do is find it...Why Bill Gates is stronger than his father, this is the answer. Education: Open education improves intelligence, closed education reduces IQ.For example, if you want to learn the voyage of Columbus, closed education will require you to recite the great significance of this matter. The more you recite it, the faster your IQ will drop.Open education allows you to read Columbus's diary, and then ask: If this diary was written by a sailor, how would it be written?If the diary was written by the local aborigines, how would it be written?Your mind is opened, and your interest in learning grows. Universities: Hu Shi said: Today's splendid culture in Europe is almost entirely due to the dozens of universities left over from the Middle Ages.Modern civilization has four basic sources: the first is the Renaissance, the second is the new science of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the third is the religious innovation, and the fourth is the industrial revolution.None of the leaders of these four major movements was not a child of the university.And in our unfortunate country, for a thousand years, there has been no institution for the training of leaders... Education: The highest level of learning is to transform us into caring and responsible citizens of the world.Equip ourselves with knowledge and express our concerns with practical actions.Education should foster values ​​of human dignity and lead human development in the right direction.Education should be a real learning process, not a production machine that produces docile people who don't understand why justice and liberty are not birthrights. Reading: Bill Gates recalled that he spent most of his childhood with books and his mother. He read through the "Encyclopedia of the World" very early, and often used international relations, economics, and the essence of life, such as What such questions embarrass parents.What the father can do is to keep buying books and borrowing books from the library to satisfy his son's continuous reading.Gates Sr. believes that in preschool education, it is very important to cultivate interest in reading. Empty talk: Gao Pingzi, an astronomer, has a crater on the moon, which is named after him.One day, his grandson visited Hu Shi and said: When we study, we must establish our hearts for the world, establish our lives for the people, inherit the knowledge of the sages, and bring peace to all generations... Hu Shi interrupted him and asked: What do you mean for the people? Heaven and earth establish a heart, explain it to me.That kid was just stupid there.Hu Shi said: "Like your grandfather, don't say things you don't understand." Tug-of-war: British historian Hobsbawm pointed out that in the 20th century, 180 million people died directly from wrong rulers or government decisions.Another historian said: Human history is more and more a tug-of-war between disaster and education.This sentence pointedly pointed out the important function of education: to cultivate knowledgeable, critical and responsible citizens.Only education can prevent bloody disasters caused by stupidity and bigotry. Education: Fu Cong, the son of Fu Lei, learned piano at the age of 9, and was praised by the American "Time" magazine as the greatest contemporary pianist.He commented that the students in elementary and middle schools are far higher than those in the university department.Chinese students are not short of talent, but they have no culture, because students seldom read books, have too little understanding of musical instruments, and independent thinking is still an ideal...
