1. The story of Lenin’s smoking
Lenin started smoking when he was in college. Lenin's mother was the daughter of a doctor and she understood the harmful effects of smoking. She was troubled by her son's addiction to smoking and repeatedly asked Lenin to quit this bad habit.
At first, Lenin just smiled and said in the face of his mother's advice: "Mom, I am healthy. Smoking this little cigarette is unlikely to cause much harm." The mother loved her son very much, and she thought of many ways. Asking my son to quit smoking has no effect. Later, she finally came up with a good idea.
Once, my mother said to Lenin: "Son, we live on your father's pension. The pension is not much, and every extra expense will directly affect family life. Although you smoke, It doesn’t cost much, but over time it will be a lot of money. If you don’t smoke, it will be good for family life.” At that time, Russian cigarettes were not expensive, and my mother said this to get Lenin to stop smoking. .
Lenin was deeply moved when he heard his mother's words. He said to his mother: "Okay, I didn't consider what you said in the past. Okay! From today on, I won't smoke." After Lenin finished speaking, he took out the cigarette from his pocket and put it on the table, and stopped touching it. .
2. The story of Lenin breaking the vase
When Lenin was eight years old, his mother took him to visit Aunt Aniya’s house. The lively little Lenin accidentally broke a vase in the girl's house. But no one saw it.
Later, the aunt asked the children: "Who broke the vase?" The other children said: "It wasn't me."
But little Lenin was afraid of being in a stranger's house. He was afraid that if he told the truth, he would be scolded by an aunt he didn't know well, so he followed everyone and answered loudly: "No - it's me!"
However, when his mother saw his expression, she was already Guessing that the vase was broken by naughty little Lenin. Because this child is very naughty, similar things often happen at home. However, young Lenin always took the initiative to admit his mistakes and never lied.
So, little Lenin’s mother thought: How should she deal with her child lying? Of course, the easiest way is to directly expose this matter and punish him. But Lenin's mother didn't do this. She believes that it is important to educate her son to have the courage to admit mistakes after making mistakes and to be an honest and good child, rather than blaming him.
So she pretended to believe her son, and did not mention it for three months. Instead, she told her son various stories about the virtues of honesty and trustworthiness, waiting for his son to have a deep conscience. A sense of shame about one's own behavior emerges.
Since then, Lenin’s mother clearly felt that her son was not as lively as before, and it seemed that his conscience was torturing him. One day, before little Lenin went to bed, his mother stroked his head and told him stories as usual.
Unexpectedly, little Lenin suddenly burst into tears and told his mother in pain: "I deceived Aunt Aniya. I said it was not me who broke the vase, but it was actually me who did it." I heard that the child was ashamed. After recounting the painful story, his mother patiently comforted him and said, "Write a letter to Aunt Aniya and admit your mistake to her. Your aunt will definitely forgive you."
So, little Lenin got up immediately and With the help of my mother, I wrote a letter to my aunt admitting my mistake.
A few days later, little Lenin received a reply from Aunt Aniya. In the letter, she not only expressed her forgiveness for little Lenin, but also praised little Lenin as an honest and good boy.
After being forgiven, young Lenin was very happy and lived a happy life as before. He also quietly said to his mother: "It's good to be an honest person, without having to suffer the condemnation of conscience." The mother looked at her son and smiled knowingly.
