There is a belief called happiness in oneself. This belief is called Song Jing Yun Le by Mr. Wei Shusheng. What does it mean to be happy with yourself? It is a matter of not being distracted, how to maintain a high degree of concentration and achieve a state of "flow" (psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi defines "flow" as a state in which an individual's attention is completely focused on feelings during a certain activity) has become a topic of concern to many domestic and foreign education scholars. As for Shusheng Wei, who had been committed to cultivating students' attention thirty or forty years ago, it can be said that he has extremely profound experience and insights in this aspect.
Wei Shusheng believes that the amount of information and learning direction everyone faces is quite huge. Even the most brilliant scientists, such as Newton and Einstein, struggled to grasp 0.1 of the total amount of human knowledge. This determines that each individual can only delve into the areas that he is interested in and has innate expertise, and can only let go of areas that he is not good at. "You have to see clearly, let go, and gain by giving up. In this way, we no longer have to blindly pursue some impossible goals. Instead, through goal concentration, we can create a sense of joy, pride, and gain deep in our hearts, and Use this as a motivation for learning.”
Then why is the tranquility and joy in Teacher Wei Shusheng’s belief so attractive?
"Song, tranquility and even music", the Tao follows nature
One looseness, two tranquility, three uniformity and four music are the "attention gymnastics" that Wei Shusheng has insisted on for more than 20 years. Wei Shusheng said that this is a state of life. That is to relax the body and mind, the mind is peaceful, the breathing is even, and the mood is happy. Whether in teachers' teaching or in students' learning, it is very important to be able to achieve these four points.
Relaxation: Relax the body and mind and reduce tension
Nowadays, teachers are under a lot of teaching pressure and students have a heavy learning load. It is especially necessary to relax the body and mind at this time. He comforted students and teachers like this: "You come to school every day, read books, write, do calculations, and think about things. How are you tired? Compared with the pain all over the body of those real manual workers when they work, you Much happier. Therefore, you are still the most relaxed people in the world. There are 141 nerves, more than 200 bones and more than 500,000 cells in the human body. As the leader of these substances, why bother to lead them every day? "What about tension?"
Many times, the feeling of physical exhaustion is not due to physical exertion, but to "heaviness in the heart", which is the so-called "strain of the mind". If we further examine the reasons for worrying, we will find that it is often not because the matter itself is heavy or bothersome, but because distracting thoughts distract our energy; perhaps because desire breaks the balance. Relax and unwind!
Quietness: Looking for inner truth, goodness and beauty
He believes that as an educator, one should always maintain inner peace, and also help students find inner goodness, beauty, and be positive. position. Shusheng Wei would enlighten students who are not confident like this: Even those students whose grades are ranked first or second from the bottom in the class should not hold their heads high in the class. Because everyone's heart is a huge world with flowers, birds, fish, insects, sun, moon, stars, rivers and mountains, so don't feel inferior. We must often reflect on our own hearts, persist in these beautiful qualities, persist and persist, and then expand when we have the remaining energy.
It is not easy to maintain inner peace and uphold truth, goodness and beauty. Most of the time, people are fighting with themselves, so we must hold on to the beautiful position in our hearts, hold on, and hold on. We must remember that "might cannot bend, poverty cannot move, wealth cannot lust." In this way, no matter whether you are a teacher or a student, whether you live now or in the future, whether you live in a simple hut or a high-rise building, whether your life is rushing to the top or entering the trough, whether you are in good times or bad times, you will be calm and calm.
Maintaining inner peace and finding your inner ground is especially important in modern society. Modern society is an era of informationization, marketization, industrialization, and internationalization. There are multiple evaluation systems and multiple evaluation methods. There may be hundreds of views on the same thing. Only by holding on to your inner position can your heart not become a racecourse for countless junk messages.
Maybe those junk messages trample on your heart and then fly away, leaving you confused and anxious. At this time, there is only inner peace, stopping with stillness, changing everything with my mind, putting in valid information and expelling invalid information. Then, effective information is filtered and processed internally to form resources, and then you can become the master of the information society.
"Everyone's heart is a huge world, with flowers, birds, fish, insects, sun, moon and stars, rivers and mountains." "No matter teacher or student, whether now or in the future, whether you live in a simple hut or in the future, "Tall buildings, whether your life is rushing to the top or entering the trough, whether you are in good times or bad times, you will be calm and calm." We should not feel inferior because of our "relative insignificance", because "if you live in the body and observe carefully, your mind will be extremely broad." "; Nor should we be arrogant because of our "relative height", because "looking from afar, the earth is very small." Hold on to your inner position and don’t let your heart become a racecourse for countless junk messages. Be calm and calm, and be strong without desire. Inner peace, brake with stillness!
Even: Breath evenly and less angry
He believes that human breathing is like a stream on the grassland, neither deep nor shallow, neither urgent nor slow. To do this, the most important thing is to keep a normal mind. Doing ordinary things in an ordinary position and still being optimistic and proactive is the realm of life. This is even more important for teachers. He often warned his students: "No matter how big an official you become in the future, you must treat yourself as an ordinary person. Don't make a little money and become a small official, and then be arrogant and domineering. Remember, even if you become a high official, you will not be arrogant." You should regard yourself as taking more responsibility than others.
For students, when you enter the examination room and don’t know what to do, you should also remember “even”. Breathe evenly and adjust your state. Being even is also reflected in not being angry often, because the higher the wisdom, the fewer extremes.
The higher the wisdom, the fewer extremes - be less angry and angry; be neither humble nor arrogant in ordinary positions. , if you have a leadership position, you should not be arrogant, be arrogant and approachable.
Happy: Change your attitude and mood.
Wei Shusheng said that people should always be optimistic. Optimism does not mean that life will be smooth sailing, and you will often get promoted and make money. All fools are happy if they are faced with this kind of fate. People who are 90 years old will not be so smooth in their lives. They will always encounter ups and downs, pressure, and setbacks. Those who can still be happy in the face of misunderstandings, accusations, complaints, and abuse are the ones who are truly happy. People.
He heard some teachers complain: Why is that student disobedient and why is the teacher's salary so low? Some young people complained about why they were not born in a wealthy family. He said that people are not happy in life. Most of the time, we want to have the final say on things that we cannot have the final say. In fact, if we want to make ourselves happy, it is important to change our attitude. We try our best to do the things we have the final say and always do things that are efficient. , always do useful things, then the efficiency of work and study will be improved, and you will also fulfill your responsibility for survival.
Every day I feel that you are one of the most relaxed people in the world, with the most peaceful mind. One of the people, one of the people with the most balanced breathing, and one of the happiest people in the mood. When he walks into the campus, he is "calm and peaceful"; when teachers and students greet him, he is "calm and peaceful"; when he sees the principal, he is "calm and peaceful". "Relax and quiet and happy"; see friends, "relax and quiet and happy"; see opponents, "relax and quiet and happy"; enter the office, "relax and quiet and happy"; open the teaching materials, "relax and quiet and happy"; start preparing lessons, " "Relax, quiet and enjoy"; write and prepare textbooks, "relax and calm"; walk into the classroom, "relax and calm"; organize teaching, "relax and calm"; handle conflicts, "relax and calm"; turn around and write on the blackboard , "pine tranquility and joy"; work for a day, "pine tranquility and joy"; come home from work, "pine tranquility and joy"; buy vegetables at the market, "pine tranquility and joy"; bargain, "pine tranquility and joy"; reply Washing vegetables and cooking at home means "pine, tranquility and joy"; then, at the end of the day, what does "pine tranquility and joy" mean, or "pine, tranquility and joy"? These four words "quiet and peaceful music" were spoken in a humorous way, and all the listeners nodded, with knowing smiles on their faces.
If you do what you have the final say, you will be optimistic and optimistic that "you cannot change the environment, but you can change yourself" and "can't change the length of life, but you can change the width of life".
