For growing infants and young children to teenagers, there is a saying of "key help during critical periods." For adults, critical moments are also very important - when the moment that changes their destiny comes, Don't hesitate, hesitation will lead to defeat.

There is a saying that goes well - "After passing this village, there is no such shop, and if you want to eat that steamed bun, there is no such place." It just warns us to seize opportunities accurately when we see them, otherwise we will only have regrets.

Listening to Teacher Li Lei slowly interpret Zweig's "When the Human Stars Shine", I have a deeper understanding of this point of view.

There is a butterfly effect in psychology: a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon jungle will cause a hurricane in New York - those small movements can cause a hurricane that affects the entire human race. fate.

This book intercepts 14 such seemingly small decisions or actions, but brought immeasurable "hurricane"-like changes to the historical development of mankind. 14 figures who influenced human civilization: Napoleon, Lenin, Tolstoy, Goethe, Scott, Dostoevsky...

Their stories are not related to each other, but they are all in the era in which they lived, Either you may be uniquely favored by fate and be sent to the palace of twinkling stars; or you may be severely mocked by fate and be pushed into the ranks of eternal regrets.

Zweig used his superb writing skills and profound historical analysis to connect 14 historical features. When the strong personal consciousness collided with the profound historical destiny, sparks flickered like 14 dazzling stars. Stars illuminate the sky of human civilization.

Zweig said, A true warrior does not have a time of cowardice, and a truly noble soul does not have a time of low thoughts. The key lies in how one behaves at the decisive moment.

Therefore, courage is a very scarce resource. It is actually very difficult to remain kind and righteous all the time - it is difficult to be courageous. The courage to choose is the most rare thing.

But in those decisive moments, someone did this instead of that, and the entire human race can make progress again and again.

In important moments, it is courage that distinguishes people. Only those who have experienced sorrow truly know joy. Only those who have suffered can foresee the final grace of forgiveness. His duty It was to prove before mankind that he had experienced death and resurrection.

Professor Xu Yingjin, professor of the Department of Philosophy of Fudan University, summarized this book and said:

Making the right choice at the right time and the right place will give us a lifetime and a better future for mankind. In the future, it will have a very significant impact.

Books will not change our destiny, books can change our attitude towards destiny.

When we face important moments of choice, the books we have read (the nutrients we have absorbed) will inspire us. Reading in the past will make us rethink our lives and plan our lives.

After all, life choices are important.

Reading history makes people wise and we can learn from history.

Yes, everyone is never a bystander to history. History is created by people, and we are the witnesses of history, a star that may shine at any time in the context of every era. .

Human beings understand history not to understand the past, but to control their own future.
