We believe that adversity is more conducive to people's growth for three reasons. First, we believe that adversity increases people's ideas and knowledge. When we find ourselves going the wrong way, we know how to go the wrong way better, so our life knowledge and various experiences are also richer. Second, we believe that adversity has broadened people's horizons and patterns. When we find that this road is more difficult than we expected, we will make higher expectations next time and we will be more prepared. If a person expects him to finish a problem in three minutes, he will need eight minutes to prepare next time. Third, we believe that adversity will help us develop our potential. When we encounter risks and challenges on the road, we will inspire this kind of ability that we have never imagined ourselves.
In the process of the growth of modern only child, parents always try their best to eliminate all interference and let him grow up smoothly. He has hardly experienced any hardships. Where does adaptability come from? How can he not afford to lose when he encounters setbacks?
There is an old professor's son, from primary school to high school, who has been among the best in learning and is also excellent in other aspects. He has never lost. However, after attending a key university, it is difficult to monopolize his head among many top students. He lost, but he can't afford to lose. Because of his low test scores, the school failed him and he dropped out. Four students who failed the college entrance examination in a key high school in a city committed suicide by taking poison. Later, because of the timely rescue, he was rescued. We all remember that Gu Cheng, a young poet who was once active in poetry, committed suicide just because of a little emotional setback, and a dazzling meteor fell like this. This is painful and pitiful ... people who grew up in prosperity, and there are too many similar examples of falling down and not getting up when they encounter a little setback. In real life, in addition to these typical incidents of suicide and escape when encountering setbacks, the incidence of other psychological problems of teenagers is also very high, especially the only child. We often see some students feel that their self-esteem has been hurt because others have said something about them. Even if it is your own fault, you don't have the courage to admit that being pointed out by others will be denied, defeated, praised, complacent, criticized, attacked and suppressed. The root cause is that this result is related to children.
Look at Zhang Haidi, a typical representative who grew up in adversity. Taking Paul as an example, she remolded a brand-new self in front of us with perseverance and life. She overcame the disease with tenacious perseverance and sang the true meaning of life with her life ... She remolded the value of life in the face of major setbacks and made every healthy person feel guilty. Life can have several setbacks, and the struggle after major setbacks is the best realm of life and a sublimation!
Heroes have suffered a lot since ancient times and have never been too handsome. Look at the growth experiences of some Nobel Prize winners, such as Madame Curie, Ding Zhaozhong and Pavlov. Did they not grow up in hard adversity?
Therefore, we believe that adversity is conducive to the growth of children! Jade is a rough diamond. In order not to let our children suffer setbacks and be able to withstand all kinds of pressures and challenges in life, we need some frustration education from an early age. If the pain of oysters is condensed into pearls, then when they experience setbacks again and again, they will naturally form indomitable perseverance, fearless courage and tenacious character. Although they may fall, it is still a difficult road to get up. They will face up to setbacks, control them and solve them.
debate
Just now, we made a full speech in the second debate from a realistic perspective. Our position is firm: adversity is conducive to the growth of talents. Let me reiterate our unchangeable position from the facts proved by history: adversity is conducive to the growth of talents.
2,000 years ago, Mencius said: If you want to be a great man, you must first suffer from his mind, work hard for his bones and muscles, starve his body and do whatever you want. In other words, if people want to do something, they must always suffer hardships and exercise.
China's outstanding figures in ancient times, such as Zuo Qiuming, Sun Bin and Sima Qian, were all tempered in adversity and made outstanding achievements. As a talent, it is inevitable to encounter adversity. Studying history, we will find that most people succeed in adversity, but few people succeed in prosperity. This truth is easy to understand. Because they are in adversity, they hope to get rid of it and will work harder. There are countless examples of success in adversity. Zhong Ni wrote Spring and Autumn Annals; Qu Yuan's exile is a tribute to Li Sao. Zuo Qiu is blind and has "Mandarin"; The foot of Sun Tzu's Art of War has been revised; It's not Shu, it's Shi Wei's "Lu Lan"; Han Fei imprisoned Qin, Difficult and Lonely Anger; There are 300 poems, and the actions of the sages at the bottom are also angry. "
As the saying goes: the sword front comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold. Where there is a will, there is a way. Hard-working, hard-working, hard-working, more than three thousand armour can swallow Wu. Life is hard, people will sharpen, the road is bumpy, and people will learn.
How many people's success comes from setbacks and adversity: Confucius traveled around the world to preach "benevolent government", and he was cold-shouldered and faced with many difficulties all his life. In his later years, he became a saint of the Chinese nation by writing Spring and Autumn Annals; Sun Bin, a military genius, envied Pang Juan. He was whipped and his feet were cut off. He pretended to be crazy and went back to Qi State to help the King of Qi defeat Wei Jun's The Art of War and become the originator of military affairs. Emperor gaozu Liu Bang and Xiang Yu competed for the world, but they were defeated again and again. Finally, they turned defeat into victory and founded the Han Dynasty. The great Russian scientist lomonosov was born in a remote and poor fishing village in the Arctic Circle. He fished all the year round and was abused by his stepmother. However, he was unwilling to be arranged by fate in his predicament. He left for the pursuit of knowledge, studied hard and observed diligently, and finally became a greater scientist than thinking. When Dickens, an English writer, was seven years old, his father went to prison for debts, and his mother made a living by washing clothes for others. He had to work in a shoe factory since he was a child, suffering from poverty and anxiety, but he didn't get depressed in adversity, made progress in knowledge, and eventually became an outstanding realistic writer in Britain. Gorky, a great Soviet writer, was born in a free and poor family. When he was a child, he helped his family by picking up junk and became a generation of celebrities by indomitable spirit ... These talented people all succeeded in adversity, so it can be said that there would be no achievement and glory without adversity.
Concluding remarks
Just now, we listened carefully to the other debater's statement, which was wonderful. But we feel that the other party has not clearly realized who is light and who is heavy in concept and essence. I have to emphasize again:
1. Subjective initiative in adversity. Today we are going to discuss a comparative topic. Growth is development, and development depends on motivation. Adversity provides the possibility for individual's positive development, that is, he can stimulate people's subjective initiative to the maximum extent and give full play to people's potential. Psychologically, this situation becomes stress. The Old Man and the Sea is Hemingway's classic work. The image of Santiago, a Cuban old man, has become the idol of many people. When he didn't catch a fish for 84 days at sea, he struggled with marlin and various sharks for three days and three nights with faith as the pillar. He is over 40 years old. Where does his strength come from? It is adversity that inspires its subjective initiative. Comfort in prosperity cannot have such a great influence on people.
2. Sustainability in adversity. Our concept has been clarified. When trying to overcome adversity, the subject must make corresponding self-adjustment according to his own motivation, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of surpassing adversity and seeking positive development. The attempt made in this process is beneficial to the long-term and even lifelong development of the subject, enabling him to overcome more difficult "adversity" according to his own experience in overcoming adversity in the future.
3. Inversion in adversity. The existence of adversity is only meaningful to the parties concerned. Its role in personal growth is also determined by the performance of the parties. Everyone should have heard that a college student can't peel eggs. Then, for this college student, even an egg with a shell is adversity; It can be seen that people who grow up in prosperity may not be able to respond flexibly to the adversity that needs to be dealt with in reality; On the other hand, if his parents ask him to take care of himself from an early age, he may encounter "adversity" in the process of learning to peel eggs, but peeling eggs has become "prosperity" at this time, and what he can bear will be more meaningful challenges to his life, rather than facing an egg blankly.
4. The process of adversity. The basic idea of the new curriculum standard emphasizes: paying attention to the process of students' learning, that is, taking the emotional experience, practical experience and personal experience gained in learning as part of the learning result. The psychology of middle school students in prosperity will not change much. Without a strong * * *, they will not be able to form memories quickly and profoundly.
Let's talk about our teaching. Let's start with the teacher. Every teacher knows what the open class has brought you. Whether it is successful or not, it brings progress and thinking to individuals, requires more labor in class than usual, and will encounter all kinds of "adversity" in operation. The process of solving many problems has really promoted our motivation to move forward. Let's talk about students. Too much emphasis on appreciation education provides fertile soil for children's self-satisfaction. There are many children around us: just listen to praise, ignore criticism or can't accept it. Adversity is a good teacher and can help children learn from it.
Ladies and gentlemen, no one wants our children to lack courage, confidence, thinking and enterprising, because they rely too much on the role of "prosperity" in their growth, and all this, some adversity in life can help them find it. French educational thinker Edgar? Fuer submitted a research report to the Director-General of UNESCO in 1972, and then the UNESCO International Education Development Committee compiled Learn to Live. The educational slogan put forward by the United Nations for the 2 1 century is "learn to be a man". In the era of rapid development, the purpose of putting forward this slogan is obvious, that is, let us all learn to find our own cheese!
As the saying goes, only after suffering can you become a master. The so-called bitterness is the bitterness brought by adversity. The so-called master is not a general utilitarian thought, but refers to being more open-minded and more open-minded than the average person in life, and being able to handle things with foresight and ease. If he has lived a peaceful and prosperous life since childhood, we can only see a little light and adapt to it. In the final analysis, the growth of individuals is only the natural law of birth, aging, illness and death. So we reiterate our view that adversity is more conducive to people's growth. If you want to make your life more exciting, then choose to face adversity bravely! I ended my speech with Hemingway's words: "I can be destroyed, but I can't be defeated!" " "
