Wei Shusheng\’s class teacher\’s work talk: Education is discovery…

There is such a magical teacher. Under his hands, no matter how chaotic the class is, it can become better, and no matter how bad the students are, they can become talented. He is a special-level Chinese teacher who can teach 200 lessons in 20 lessons. He does not leave homework or correct compositions, and the overall student performance is still among the best. He served as the director of Panjin Municipal Education Bureau for 13 years, making Panjin City\’s enrollment rate far ahead every year. He was selected into the first \”Top Ten Outstanding Young People in China\”. He is also a father. His son was admitted to Tsinghua University with excellent results. His name is Wei Shusheng. The following content is an excerpt from a wonderful speech given by Shusheng Wei. Human beings are just tiny microorganisms, we must have a heart of humility and awe. Hello everyone, today I will talk to you about our hearts. 10 recommended classic family education books talk about how to live an ordinary life day after day in an ordinary position, doing one ordinary thing after another with an ordinary heart. Don’t compare, be cheerful, look inward, and be down-to-earth. Make the ordinary things interesting, vivid, calm, joyful, poetic, picturesque, dancing and singing. I always tell my students about this life experience: \”Students, you must never listen to others say how excellent Teacher Wei is. Teacher Wei is just a tiny microorganism on the surface of a tiny star in the vast universe. “Even if I do 10,000 times more work than I do today, will I be able to get rid of my microbial state? Students, throughout your life, you must first learn to look down on yourself. Only by looking down upon yourself can you have a heart of humility and awe, and then you will never be proud, never self-aggrandizement, and never feel that you are superior to others. Think about it, everyone, who is not a tiny microorganism? Throughout the ages, anyone who has lived once on earth, who is not ordinary? Therefore, I advocate that people from generation to generation should have a heart of awe, gratitude, and humility, and be grateful that the sky and the universe are so big and have given birth to a galaxy. We are just conceived by chance, and we only live for a hundred years. 100 years is a very short moment in human history. So we should be kind to the universe, the country, others, our parents, and ourselves. Be happy, look inward, do what you can do, fulfill your responsibilities, read the books you can read, do the math you can do, draw the pictures you can draw, and dance well The dance that I can dance repays nature, the universe, my parents, my country, and my relatives. Then you feel that your heart can be at peace in this life, and it is worthy of the nature, the universe, the sages, the school, and the parents that we are in reverence and grateful for. So even if you live less in the next hundred years, you still have a clear conscience and live every day in a down-to-earth manner. See clearly my own insignificance and shortness from the macro perspective, never be proud, and always want to accept so many favors, so I have to learn more, run more, jump more, calculate more, and write more. No matter what others do to me, I will do the same. Fulfill your responsibilities, and your mind will be at peace. Although people are small, they can have a vast world in their hearts. Next, on the micro level, I asked my students to write diaries and essays. Generally, there are two topics for writing. The first one is from the perspective of looking at the earth from the sky, and the second one is that the earth is very small. The perspective is to observe from the heart and the mind is very broad. These two questionsThey seem to be relative, but in fact they complement each other. If you calm down and look at what you are doing from a microscopic perspective, you will find that there is a vast world inside. I once saw a child who was listless and had his head lowered. I asked him about it and he said that he did not do well in the exam. \”Why is it bad?\” \”First place from the bottom\” \”Why last place?\” \”First place in the whole school.\” \”How many times have you been last in the exam?\” \”Every time you are in last place, and you are always last in the total exam. No. 1.\” I told him, kid, since you are always at the bottom over and over again, there is no need to feel inferior. Is there any use in feeling inferior? Is anxiety, pain, and confusion still useful? \”Teacher, I know it\’s useless, but what should I do?\” \”Find happiness!\” \”How can you be happy if you can\’t do anything?\” \”You can do many things, do many calculations, read many books, and write many things. I can write and draw a lot of pictures.\” \”What questions can I calculate?\” \”Which subject do you find most annoying?\” \”Mathematics bothers you the most.\” I said, \”In mathematics alone, you can calculate many questions. If you can calculate, it is better for you to solve elementary school problems than to stay here. You said that you are sitting here struggling with pain and suffering from low self-esteem. Who can look down on you!\” When you attract students to do small things within their ability, the goals are very clear and the tasks are It is extremely specific and not difficult, so he can devote himself to learning in a short period of time. \”Son, do you feel inferior when you do questions?\” \”Forgot.\” \”Are you confused?\” \”No.\” \”But I always do elementary school questions, and I\’m still last in the exam!\” I said: \” Children, the problem we solve is that no matter where we are in the bottom position, we can see ourselves as a grand world, not feel inferior, and do what we can. I surpass myself step by step, and in this way I can control happiness. It’s in your own hands. You always train your cranial nerves that are at the bottom of the list. The more you train, the stronger the working ability of your cranial nerves will be, and they will keep torturing you and become the last ones.” The teacher is to help you become happy and proud first Get up, get happy, get joyful, and then look at the penultimate question. \”Teacher, I am still the last one!\” I said, \”I tell you the truth, if you are in my class, let alone this year, if you work hard for another year or two until the eve of graduation, you will probably always be the last one. A state of one. The teacher can only tell you to be down-to-earth and surpass yourself. But I can’t tell the penultimate person to do nothing and wait for him. So since everyone in my class is not trying to compare with others, keep your feet on the ground and do what you can do. Do things that you can do, write assignments that you can do, and calculate problems that you can do, all of which are down-to-earth and surpassing yourself. When you work hard, you can only look at the starting point. If the starting point is the last one, then it is the last one. But one thing is for sure. , you down-to-earthly write down a question, an essay, word by word, you will be enriched, happy, strengthened, and have a better mentality by being the last one in my class, even though you are the last one in my class. The teacher can be sure that you will no longer be the last in the school. The most important thing is that you have learned to turn anxiety into practicality, turn inferiority into hard work, turn worries into pride and sense of accomplishment, and change your mental state. It also changed the state of life.\” Regardless of whether the results are good or bad,A down-to-earth life means a happy life. Back then, there was a classmate in our class who had poor grades, so I said to him: \”Classmate, you have to remember that no matter who discriminates against you, you can\’t discriminate against yourself. You must remember that although your height will never be higher than your height, you can\’t discriminate against yourself.\” You are better than others, but your will, quality and down-to-earth spirit must be no less than others. You may never catch up with the average students in studies, but you happily solve your own problems, read your own books, and write every day My own diary. If you can’t run 5,000 meters, you can run 3,000 meters. If you run slower, then this is a typical example of self-improvement. As long as you are happy and have a clear conscience.\” Later, when he grew up, he was not only able to support himself , and also set up a small business doing iron processing. When my family moved, he gave me a big shaker. He said, \”Teacher, other shakers were welded by my employees, but you are the only one I have.\” I welded it carefully by myself.\” Not only did he find a job for himself, but he also solved the employment problems of more than ten people for the country. He had his own car and lived a very happy life. Isn\’t this a happy life? Some children, when I asked them why they didn\’t study, they said, \”I know how to be a teacher, and my grades are number one in the school.\” Being number one in the school makes you so arrogant? Where does it rank in the country? Where is it in the world? I said: \”Child, there are many countries and regions on this earth. Even if we are the number one in the world, we have no time to be proud. Why? Only those who know more will know the vastness and vastness of the unknown.\” Children, you should continue to enjoy the joy of learning, be down-to-earth, do your math, write and research. In his later years, Newton said: \”I am like a child, holding a shell of knowledge in my hand. Facing the vast ocean of knowledge, I am far from dabbling in it.\” People who know more will be more humble and cautious, and they will pay attention to small things down to earth. I do my own thing down-to-earth every minute and every class. I can\’t catch up with others, but I can definitely surpass myself. Excellent students are down-to-earth and not arrogant, and students who are ranked first are down-to-earth and do not feel inferior. They live their own lives one class at a time, solve their own problems one by one, and surpass themselves bit by bit. This is always a normal life. When you understand life this way, you will never be proud or inferior. Discover your own strengths, keep them and develop them. I taught primary school at the age of 19 and secondary school at the age of 28. There were two classes. One of the best classes in the school asked me to be the class teacher, and the other class had disobedient students selected from all grades and asked me to teach. The fifty-three classmates were all male. In class, I felt like I was in the fire and in the water. I taught two completely different classes. In fact, life is like this. Every difficulty and every pressure is an opportunity to grow your ability. When you face difficulties in learning like this, you are an optimistic and enterprising person. The classmates in these two classes have a very good relationship with me. My teaching method is, no matter how bad your grades are, look for your strengths first. I told the students with poor grades that we should look for our own strengths. The students said, \”Teacher, I really have no strengths.\” I said how could there be no strengths? We all have at least three strengths: First, we Can you understand math classes every day? Can\’t understand. Don’t understand physics, chemistryWe can’t learn, we don’t understand English, we don’t understand anything, but we sit here and listen every day, and over time, what a strong will the students have developed! Second, students, think about it again, we are so tired every day, can we pass the exam? No. You see, we have repeatedly failed in exams, and we can still fail in exams repeatedly, which shows how strong our ability to resist setbacks is! The most rare thing is the third point. We go to school every day so hard, so tired, and so difficult. Has anyone ever sympathized with us? Has anyone understood it? Did anyone encourage you? No! Is anyone sarcastic or sarcastic? have! You see, we are so hard and tired, we keep failing, no one sympathizes with us, no one understands us, and we are ridiculed every day… But the students in our class finished their meal the next morning, and with their schoolbags on their backs, they could still move towards this broken world step by step. The place comes… The most rare thing is that the students in our class can smile at the teacher and say how good the teacher is. What a broad mind that is! Since we have such a strong will, the ability to resist setbacks, and an open mind, why not do some math, write some words, keep a diary, and write a short article when we have nothing to do? We can never be as good as them, but if we can be better than ourselves, we will feel more comfortable. Then I will cultivate my students\’ ability to educate themselves, and first study how to manage themselves. He is a world, managing his more than 200 muscles and tens of thousands of kilometers of blood vessels. Everyone should not underestimate themselves. More than one hundred trillion cells are serving you and will never leave you. Why do you make others look haggard and nervous? Are they worthy of our cells? So the children thought it was like this. In the long river of the universe, my life is a point in the grand space, but for me, my life itself is a grand world. My child, you are a collection of a vast world. Write down and express clearly your positive, diligent, progressive, optimistic, helping classmates, and loving the collective strengths and weaknesses deep in your heart. This is education. The opening chapter of \”The University\” talks about three things about education: the way of a university lies in being virtuous, being close to the people, and striving for perfection. What is Mingmingde? Everyone is born with the character of being kind, pursuing beauty, and being positive. Bright character is called Mingde. Mingmingde means thinking clearly, seeing clearly, explaining clearly, and writing clearly about these advantages and strengths of yours. This is the first thing in education. The second thing is to hold on to your strengths and weaknesses without wavering, slacking off, or struggling. When you feel comfortable reading, read it for 3 minutes a day. When you persist and persist, it will first enter your heart and be refined, and it will regenerate new roots and take root deeply. When you do this right and do not waver or struggle, the roots below will take root deeper and deeper, and new shoots, leaves, branches, flowers, and fruits will continue to grow above. You will enjoy the feeling of keeping your strengths and weaknesses, developing your strengths and weaknesses, and constantly renewing yourself every day. So I tell my children, do the right things for yourself, do them more correctly, newer, more refined and more detailed, so that you can gain a foothold in society, support some people, and live proudly and happily. There are many things I can\’t do, but I don\’t slack off on what I can do and keep my strengths. So I ask you to do one thing, which is to write down twenty of your own strengths and weaknesses.Clip it to the first page of your diary and read it often. But that is never the capital we are proud of. It is the resource for our reform and the starting point for innovation. If a person wants to innovate, he should always innovate based on yesterday\’s strengths. That is the source of happiness for every student here. The source of happiness is always in his own mind and genes. Write down your strengths clearly, explain them clearly, think about them clearly, express them clearly, and then do not waver, slack off, or falter, so you will have a fresh feeling every day. Happiness in life is to do what you can do at the moment. The more you do it, the better it is, the more you do it, the happier you are. Small things may seem meaningless to others, but the more you do them, the more interesting and joyful you become. When you can’t do enough even if you devote yourself to it, you realize that no matter how small things are, they have a grand world. When you do this, there will be no time to be proud, no time to feel inferior, no time to be anxious, no time to worry. You will be happy every day. Parents and children, start with your strengths, and stick to them and continue to work on them more and more, then your life will continue to bloom, grow, and bear fruit.
