Chapter 2 Preface: Growth is more important than success

Preface: Growth is more important than success ● Ling Zhijun "Growth" is a topic related to education, talents and even the whole society.Every student is eager to know how to achieve success, every parent hopes that their children will become successful as soon as possible, and every teacher hopes that the students they teach will achieve gratifying results as soon as possible.However, the road to growth is not all smooth sailing. Some people fail to persevere to the end, some choose weakness and compromise in the face of setbacks, and some people use correct methods and firm beliefs to achieve remarkable success. "growing up"

This book talks about the growth process of a group of the best Chinese people.From Wang Jian to Xu Fengxiong, from Zhang Hongjiang to Zhang Yaqin, every true story, every vivid comment, and every sincere word in the book can become a solid step on the road to growth, which can let students, parents and teachers know What should I do to continue to be successful. Mr. Ling Zhijun is best at picking those seemingly simple and ordinary stories from life, but they are actually meaningful little stories. "Diary" is on the paper.In these stories, there are laughter as well as sadness, passion as well as melancholy, some are amazing, and some are full of tears.In this small book, we see a large number of smart and active students constantly surpassing themselves and challenging their limits, one after another great parents and teachers silently contribute to the growth of their children with labor and painstaking efforts... "Growth" is like A novel, "Growth" is more like a sonata, "Growth" is the best spiritual post for every person who desires success.

Thanks to Mr. Ling Zhijun, this is not because he actually wrote my story, but because his book helped me clarify many thoughts about talents, education and success.In the book "Being the Best You" I wrote to young friends, not only many real cases and specific conclusions are borrowed from "Growth", but also the "concentric circles of success" that is the core of the book As well as the title of the whole book, they are more or less inspired by Mr. Ling Zhijun and his book "Growth". Thanks to Mr. Ling Zhijun, his book "Growth" has made many people I know who have talked about the word "genius" until now, and they will immediately think of the ordinary children listed in "Growth" who have become people in the eyes of others with their wisdom and diligence. A real case of genius. "Geniuses who don't admit that they are geniuses are telling their growth stories." These stories can let parents know how to raise children, let teachers know how to improve teaching, and let students know how to gain self-confidence.

Not only students, parents, and teachers need to pay attention to "Growth", but the entire Chinese society should pay attention to "Growth".China is becoming the largest economy in the world, but whether China can become a real technological power depends on whether we can catch up with the West in the field of education.The main reason why the United States is strong is that she has the most advanced education system and can attract outstanding talents from all over the world through this system.In those successful American companies, you can see many outstanding Chinese, Indian, British, and Canadian employees, all of whom are attracted by the American education system.The American education system includes not only those well-known colleges and universities, but also advanced educational concepts deeply hidden in the minds of every parent and teacher, such as encouraging children to pursue hobbies and ideals, advocating cooperation, initiative, innovation, and so on.China's education concept and education system need to be continuously developed and changed, and the next generation of China needs to grow up healthily in a better environment.

Mr. Ling Zhijun hopes to use the book "Growth" to "change the view on education", which should be the first step towards the success of China's education system.I hope that more people will read, know and understand "Growth", and hope that with the help and encouragement of "Growth", more Chinese students will find their own vast world.
