It is said in the "Disciple Rules" that if you love others universally, you will be kind to others. If you have spare energy, you will study literature. The ancients believed that virtue is the most important. If you have good virtues, you can study it and use it now. In other words, growth is more important than performance.

But today’s education runs counter to this. In this noisy and fast-developing society, schools, families, and even society all agree that it is crucial for children to get high scores in exams. Things such as throwing garbage everywhere, scolding parents, running red lights, scribbling in scenic spots, etc. are all trivial things. Any method that can get a high score is used in any way, and he does not hesitate to spend a lot of money to attend cram schools and hire tutors, even if it is just There is no need to hesitate to raise a point; anything that has nothing to do with getting a high score is a small matter. Even if you are full of bad habits, as long as you have excellent academic performance, you will still be a good child that we praise.

It is gratifying to have excellent grades, but there is something more important than grades.

Ma Jiajue, Yao Jiaxin, and Fudan Poisoner Lin Senhao have all achieved excellent results since they were young, won numerous awards, and were admitted to ideal universities. However, their sad results make people sigh with regret. , they know how to get high scores, but they don’t know how to be a real person. Parents only pay attention to the visible results and the admiration of everyone, but not what their children think. Schools only pay attention to students with excellent grades. The halo effect and enrollment rate have come, but they have not focused on the spiritual growth of students.

From school to individuals, we feel happy or sad with the ups and downs of grades, but we don’t realize that the child’s mind is already desolate, and a spark can burn it into ruins.

We can quickly improve students' academic performance in a short period of time, but we cannot make students develop the habit of diligent study and good thinking in a short period of time; similarly, we can build a magnificent university in a short period of time, But it cannot improve the overall quality of people in the same time.

Achievements can be improved, but growth cannot be elevated. Achievements can be immediate, but growth requires subtle influence.

The ancients said that self-cultivation, family management, country governance, and world peace should be the first priority. As for growth and performance, growth is the root and performance is the branches. Without roots, how can branches flourish? !
