On the middle school campus, there are very few students who didn't give gifts. Boys usually invite them to dinner, while girls mainly send trinkets, handicrafts and toys. Students should give gifts on their birthdays. Christmas, New Year's Day and other festivals are coming, and some students cater to the hype of businesses and start thinking hard about gifts. It is right for students to attach importance to friendship, but friendship can't be bought with money. Some people abandon family friendship for money, but only family friendship can't be bought with money. It is entirely possible for students to use their brains and hand-make small handicrafts such as greeting cards with our hard hands to express their best wishes to their friends. Don't let pure classmates' friendship be tainted with copper odor. Don't let pure classmate friendship turn into money transaction. Don't vulgarize the friendship between pure classmates.
Some students have pocket money, instead of spending it on serious things, they spend it on playing games in internet cafes, watching some bad books, videos and so on. Many students are addicted to the internet and play games all night, which not only ignores their studies, but also leads to mental disorders. Some students forget that their responsibility is to study. Influenced by bad social atmosphere, they pay attention to eating and drinking, and pay too much attention to dressing up. Some students have got into the bad habit of smoking and drinking. Some girls wear jewelry, earrings and dye their nails, losing the good qualities that middle school students should have. Although we advocate that middle school students should not bring mobile phones, a few students still turn a deaf ear. SMS chat will delay your studies; Bad information pollutes the mind; Encourage extravagance and waste and blind comparison.
The appearance of these extremely abnormal consumption behaviors has raised a serious question for our primary and secondary school students: What should students compare? Is it more ambitious or generous? Is it better than studying or eating and wearing? Better than progress or enjoyment?
"Quiet to cultivate one's morality, frugal to cultivate one's morality." Develop a good habit of thrift, which will benefit people for life. A thrifty person is more likely to get rid of all kinds of temptations from outside and set lofty goals in his heart. Only with lofty aspirations and persistent pursuit can great things be achieved. Having made achievements and made significant contributions to society; They are all people who only want to make progress and not enjoy themselves; Is a hard-working person, who has worked hard all his life and has the courage to overcome difficulties. And those who only talk about eating, playing and ostentation from an early age will definitely achieve nothing in the end and will only become social waste and garbage.
"No more generosity than ambition, no more progress than foundation, no more cleverness than diligence." If every student can compare like this, wouldn't it be less "people are more annoying than others" and "muddling along"?
"Smarter than diligence" means that teachers and students should not take their talents as proud capital or excuses for inferiority, but should study hard and work hard to see who spends more energy and labor in their study and work. "Smart is just a beautiful layer of candy paper." Many people are too clever to make mistakes.
Although everyone's talent is really different, people who are "born" have not existed since ancient times. All knowledge and talents come from acquired study and practice, and the quality of academic performance is directly proportional to the amount of labor paid. Even if the talent is poor, as long as you are diligent, you will definitely achieve great success. Heaven rewards diligence, and learning is endless. Fang Zhongyong, written by Wang Anshi, a writer in the Song Dynasty, is called a "prodigy" because he can write poems at the age of five and is very talented. But his father refused to let him study, and Zhong Yong didn't have the opportunity to continue to study hard and acquire new knowledge, so he finally became no different from ordinary people. This story tells us that natural wisdom is not enough. The hard work the day after tomorrow is also an indispensable condition for great achievements. Many students are very smart, but if we don't study hard and constantly enrich ourselves, we won't become knowledgeable and intelligent talents. As Gorky said, "human talent is like a spark, which can be extinguished or burned. There is only one way to force it to burn into a raging fire, and that is labor, and then labor."
A good foundation is a good thing, and development opportunities are rare. Being smart is a gift from heaven, but if someone thinks he is smarter than others and doesn't work hard, he is not smart. In real life, there are many ordinary people, and we often hear people complain that they are stupid and not as intelligent as others. In fact, it is normal to develop your intelligence slowly, but it is not normal to be diligent and unwilling to fly first. Can Edison become an inventor who has achieved more than 1000 achievements without 99% sweat? If Mr. Lu Xun does not spend other people's coffee time writing, can he become a famous literary master at home and abroad? As the British painter Reynolds said, "if you are very talented, diligence will make your talent more perfect;" If your talent is average, diligence will make up for your shortcomings.
Some students attribute their failure to their "weak foundation". Of course, the foundation is one aspect, but it is by no means all or even an important aspect. "Poor foundation" is not a shield for backwardness, nor can it be a reason to show off stagnation. Populus euphratica in the desert never complains about how poor its foundation is-the land under its feet is so barren and the surrounding environment is so bad. It just silently rooted the roots deeper and let them extend bit by bit. Therefore, the branch of its life attracted our appreciation. We should make progress within the foundation, make no excuses for failure and make excuses for success.
"Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. " Every student should keep pursuing progress. There is no end to learning. Only progress, progress and further progress can make us better. Students who are temporarily behind will achieve impressive results as long as they don't give up. A thousand miles can be accumulated, and a river can be accumulated. As long as you walk towards your goal step by step and make even a little progress every day, you will eventually reach the palace of success. Because it is not only the eagle spreading its wings in the air that can reach the top of the pyramid, but also the humble snail.
