Teachers and parents must tell their children a sentence that will benefit them for life!

The 2020 college entrance examination has ended. After ten years of hard work and ten years of companionship, another group of children and parents can breathe a little easier. Although the exam is over, life has just begun. There are still many things we need to tell our children about the relationship between study and life… Zeng Guofan once had a difficult time in his exams. After becoming an official, he often warned his younger brothers not to be obsessed with fame. His views on the imperial examination can be summed up in one sentence: \”Don\’t waste your life by taking examination papers.\” Studying is for understanding. Reading is not for exams, but for understanding. No matter how good a person\’s grades are, but he doesn\’t know how to be a human being, he is putting the cart before the horse. Studying cannot be just for grades, and grades cannot explain everything. Modern writer Chi Zijian failed the college entrance examination and was forced to study in a junior college. He spent his spare time reading a lot and practicing his writing. He gradually entered the literary world and became a well-known modern writer in China. His achievements far exceeded those of his peers. Zeng Guofan failed in the imperial examination in his youth. Although he later became a Jinshi, he was quite critical of the imperial examination. Zuo Zongtang, who was at the same time, was so talented that he never passed the Jinshi exam in his life. Really talented people understand that after decades of life, diplomas are important, but a person\’s true talent and practical learning are more important. Without a diploma, a person can still rely on his or her talents and learning to work hard and gain a foothold in society. As long as you have a diploma, your true colors will be revealed sooner or later. Zeng Guofan often said: Most people hope that their descendants will be high officials, but I don’t want to be high officials, but I hope to be a sensible gentleman. Zeng Guofan\’s younger brother and son did not take the imperial examination and become officials. But his younger brother Zeng Guoquan later became the governor of one party, and his son Zeng Jize became the most famous diplomat in the Qing Dynasty. Success or failure in the examination room is just a stage in life. The most important thing in reading is understanding of reason. Things in the examination room depend 70% on strength and 30% on luck. The ancients said: Victory is a joy, defeat is also a joy. Keep a calm mind and just try your best. There is still a long way to go in life, so don’t be too nervous. Practice brings true knowledge. The ancients said: What you learn on paper will eventually make you feel shallow, but you will definitely know that you must practice it. Exam-oriented education tests a person\’s memory of knowledge, while life and work test a person\’s application of knowledge. Many students are so focused on taking exams that they usually turn a deaf ear to other things. Their parents do everything for them, and they lack opportunities for practice. Although the score is very high, the practical ability is not enough. Wang Yangming said: Knowledge and action are one. If you just know but don\’t act, you don\’t really know. After you have a basic understanding of a problem, start practicing it and constantly calibrate your understanding in practice. New cognition feeds back into practice, and practice refreshes cognition. In this way, true knowledge can be achieved through repeated corrections and spiral advancement. Many students who graduate from normal schools have studied theoretical knowledge for four years in college. But when you actually get to the classroom and start preparing lessons and teaching, you really start to understand the classroom and the concepts and theories of education. Most of the knowledge will be applied in practice. Some children may have mediocre theoretical knowledge when they are in school, but once they enter society, their abilities will be truly reflected. Zeng Guofan: \”Think big and start small.\” Only by knowing how to practice can life have unlimited possibilities. The college entrance examination is just a process in life. Don\’t be overly superstitious about the magic of the college entrance examination, and don\’t be overly obsessed with the test papers. relativelyOnly when a person masters theoretical knowledge and learns to practice and apply can he truly learn to learn. The Habit of Lifelong Learning Many candidates think that when the college entrance examination is over or university is over, they don’t need to study anymore. On the contrary, this is an era of lifelong learning. No matter what industry a person is engaged in, no matter how old he is, he must maintain the habit of lifelong learning. Live and learn. Modern society is developing rapidly. Once you stop updating yourself, you will easily be left behind by the times. Computers were just emerging twenty years ago, but now they have completely changed people\’s lifestyles. People who don\’t know how to use computers can hardly move. More than ten years ago, airlines had very few routes, and scheduling could be completed with an A4 form. Nowadays, the number of flights is increasing rapidly, and service personnel must learn flight scheduling software to complete their jobs. Zeng Guofan was over 50 years old, but he still worked hard to study mathematics, physics and chemistry and set up Westernization. During the march, carry a book with you and read a few chapters when you have time. Ask the canal how clear it is, because there is a source of living water. In today\’s era of rapid iteration, only by continuous learning can one keep up with the times. The college entrance examination is not the end, it is just a node. Times are constantly changing, and you cannot let go of your enthusiasm for learning no matter what. Don\’t be discouraged because of a few test papers, and don\’t lose the motivation to study because of one failure. Learning is a lifelong career. As long as you persevere, keep learning, read clearly, and cultivate your abilities, you will achieve something sooner or later.
