Train of thought hint
Pressure and motivation coexist.
Pressure can sometimes be converted into power.
The greater the pressure, the greater the motivation.
Excessive stress can not only be transformed into motivation, but also may damage our physical and mental health.
well-known saying
There is pressure to be motivated. -Proverbs
Without high pressure, oil will not come out by itself, and pressure will become the driving force. -Hussein
There is no oil in a well without pressure, and people without pressure float everywhere. -Wang Jinxi
Classic material
Stress is directly proportional to motivation (hounds and rabbits)
A hunting dog drove the rabbit out of its nest and chased it for a long time without catching it.
Seeing this, the sheep laughed at the hound and said, "Between you two, the little one runs much faster."
The hound replied, "You don't know, we run for completely different purposes!" " I just want a meal, but he wants his life! "
Stress makes life stronger (the rise and fall of antelope)
A zoologist studied the antelopes living on both sides of the Orange River in the African prairie. He found that the antelopes on the east coast are more fertile than those on the west coast, and their running speed is different, which is faster than that on the west coast 13 meters.
With these differences, zoologists are puzzled, because the living environment and genus of these antelopes are the same, and the source of feed is the same, which is mainly a kind of pasture called Yingluo.
One year, with the assistance of the Animal Protection Association, he caught 10 antelopes on the east and west sides and sent them to the other side. As a result, the number of 10 shipped to the west coast doubled to 14 a year later, while the number of 10 shipped to the east coast was only three, and seven were eaten by wolves.
Zoologists finally understand that the antelope on the east coast is strong because there is a wolf pack living nearby, and the antelope on the west coast is weak because of the lack of such natural enemies.
Animals without natural enemies are often the first to die out; Animals with natural enemies will gradually multiply and grow.
Stress can stimulate vitality (jaguar life)
Jaguar is an endangered animal. There are only 17 jaguars in the world, and one of them lives in the National Zoo in Peru.
In order to protect this tiger, Peruvians set aside 1500 acres of mountain from nature, built a tiger garden and let it live freely. People who have been to Tiger Garden say that it is really a paradise for tigers, with mountains and water, lush flowers and trees, gurgling streams at the foot of the mountain, and flocks of cattle, sheep and rabbits for tigers to enjoy. Strangely, no one has ever seen this tiger catch its prey (it only eats the meat sent by the administrator), nor has it ever seen it descend the mountain majestically. I often lie in an air-conditioned tiger house, eat and sleep, and sleep and eat.
One day, a citizen who came here to visit said, how can you not be lazy? The tiger is the king of the forest. Can you arouse the interest of a group of small animals that only eat grass? Such a big tiger park, don't get a few wolves, at least let a few wolves go? After listening to his words, the leader of Tiger Park caught three leopards and threw them into Tiger Park.
This trick really works. Since the three leopards entered the Tiger Park, the jaguar no longer eats and sleeps all day, but is more and more energetic. Natural enemies can arouse the confidence of biological life!
Trying to turn pressure into motivation (Strong Helen Keller)
When Helen Keller was over one year old, she was blind, deaf and dumb because of illness. To this end, Helen's temper became very violent, and she easily lost her temper and broke things. Her family saw that this was not the way to go on, so they hired a very patient tutor for her, Miss Sullivan. Under her influence and education, Helen gradually changed. She used her only sense of touch, taste and smell to get to know the surrounding environment, tried to enrich herself, and then further studied writing. A few years later, when her first book, My Life, was published, it immediately caused a sensation in the United States.
She expressed her strong, optimistic and uplifting spirit in the article "If you give me three days of light", which is all due to her understanding of life.
When blindness is only regarded as a kind of stress, she is miserable, so she can't really face life; Life chose her when she turned pressure into motivation.
Stories and random thoughts
Stress is the driving force of life (lion and antelope)
Every day, when the sun rises, the animals on the African prairie start running.
The lioness is educating her children:
"Son, you must run faster and faster. If you can't outrun the slowest antelope, you will starve to death. "
In another field, the mother antelope is also educating her children:
"Son, you must run faster and faster. If you run faster than the fastest lion, you will definitely be eaten by them. "
Life needs stress (a ship in a storm)
A cargo ship returned from unloading and suddenly encountered a huge storm in the vast sea.
The panicked sailors were anxious.
The old captain decisively ordered: "Open all warehouses and inject water immediately."
The sailors were worried: "Isn't this asking for a dead end and adding risks with risks?"
The captain said calmly, "Have you ever seen a tree with a deep stem blown down by a storm?" What was blown down was a small tree without foundation. "
The sailors were dubious about this. Although the wind and waves were still so fierce, the freighter gradually stabilized as the water in the warehouse became more and more full.
The captain told the relieved sailor, "Empty barrels are easily overturned by the wind. If it is full of water and loaded with something, the wind can't blow it down. " The safest time is when the ship is fully loaded, and the most dangerous time is when the ship is empty. "In fact, each of us is a ship sailing in the ocean of life, and all kinds of pressures in life are our burdens. Although these pressures sometimes make us tired and irritable, they are also the driving force to ensure our progress. Without these pressures, we are easily knocked over by the waves of life.
Meet the challenge of pressure in the new century (pressure is 2 1 century)
2 1 century is a century of fierce competition. Peaceful development has become the theme of today's times. Fierce competition is like a cruel war. Eliminating groups of people with high scores and low abilities shows that we must have extraordinary qualities and abilities. However, competition is inevitable, which makes me feel great pressure.
2 1 century is the century of "knowledge explosion". I used to secretly blame my parents for pushing me to the stage at the turn of the century and accepting the test of knowledge. The position of knowledge is becoming more and more important. Without knowledge, it is impossible to survive and gain a foothold in society. The construction of the motherland needs talents. What is needed is high-quality talents. I'm afraid of being a laggard, and I'm deeply stressed.
2 1 century is a century of "reducing burdens". My wish is to become an engineer of the human soul, and to train and transport high-quality talents for the construction of the motherland. However, in the new century, as the content of teaching reform, "reducing the burden" requires teachers to have new teaching methods and innovative ability, and cultivate new talents with knowledge and ability. All this tells me that in order to realize my wish, I must turn pressure into motivation, study hard and work hard to meet the challenges of the new millennium.
Stress and motivation should be properly combined (different attitudes should be taken towards different children)
When parents think it is the right choice to stimulate their children with the advantages of others' children, please don't forget that their children also have advantages. He is not useless, nor is he as bad as you say. Parents exaggerate their children's advantages a little, and children will work harder as their parents say. If the child is not confident enough, please try this: let him find confidence. If the child is stubborn, then parents can say, "You can't do it at all." As soon as the child listens, his stubbornness will occupy his reason and inertia. He will prove to his parents that he can do it, just for the sake of his parents' white lies: "You can't do it at all."
These are completely correct. If strength is strength, strength is pressure. If the two are combined properly, nothing can't be successful! Parents think it's good, so try it.
The pressure of love (Lingling's transformation)
Lingling's study will decline, and she will study late with her every night. On weekends, she will not only stop her favorite dance classes and calligraphy classes, but also invite a tutor to help her homework at home. Lingling often feels tired and confused. Although she works hard, her grades are slowly slipping. Her parents were anxious and sad, and Lingling began to doubt herself. Are girls less intelligent as they get older? Looking at mom and dad's eager eyes and everything they did for themselves, Lingling felt that she was about to collapse.
Parents' love is the driving force of our progress, but when love becomes a kind of pressure, it will become a burden of progress.
