Chapter 1: Talking about reading

Reading after class is not about whether you have time, but about your determination, and it is especially important to form the habit of reading. Interest cultivated in youth can benefit interest for life, and reading habits cultivated in youth can also strengthen the will. Usually there are books for study and work, but we still need extracurricular books to broaden our horizons and cultivate our hobbies. The quantity of books is large and the quality is mixed, so it is necessary to read them selectively.

chapter 2: talking about

as a young man, depression is very worrying, but it is actually hard to avoid. Elders often say that young people "should" be full of vigor, so you just have to turn a deaf ear to this "should" word. People belong to nature, and they should conform to it. It is known that the more comfortable and energetic, the more leisurely and boring, the more depressed. Young people might as well play tennis, play the piano and plant flowers and plants. Even talking and laughing, running and jumping can vent a lot of unhappiness and bring a lot of beauty.

chapter 3: talking about quietness

the truth of life is half derived from activities and half from feelings. Different opinions about things are related to people's feelings. Besides creativity, genius is also related to strong feelings. People who can appreciate the fun will not be silent.

The heart is like a space. You don't have to escape from reality, but keep a clean heart, so you can leave more room for your taste. In addition to cultivating taste, quiet cultivation can also make people feel calm, or feel more inner world in the interaction with people.

chapter 4: talking about middle school students and social movements

some people publicize that young people must be revolutionary, and some people order students not to participate in sports. There are many advocates, all for their own interests. Scholars despise each other, and those with different positions all despise each other. However, there is nothing to be biased about when things are established. Social movements are often superficial and empty talk, so we should know our family's ugliness from top to bottom and implement it from our own place. To be a folk, students must put aside their airs and never be lofty.

Chapter 5: Talking about Crossroads

Making academics close to real life is going to the Crossroads, and spreading the power of academics to the people is also going to the Crossroads. However, on the other hand, after going out of the ivory tower to the cross street, academics often become vulgarized. The biggest authority on the cross street is custom. Being old-fashioned is a custom, and being new is also a custom. If you follow blindly and without thinking, whether old or new, it will be poisonous.

customs are of great value for maintaining social peace, but maintaining peace is not the only purpose of society. In order to renovate society, customs are sometimes necessary to be broken. Our society needs people who stand at the crossroads and declare war on it. We never lack people who maintain customs, but it is difficult to break them. My friend, when you stand on the cross street surrounded by superficial, stubborn, hypocritical and cruel drugs, don't compromise, don't fall.

Chapter 6: Talking about the multiverse

Life has many sides, each of which has its own special value standard, so it can be called a universe. The value of the universe is independent and cannot be measured by each other. Nothing in society values more than the moral universe. In the scientific universe, many people have violated the prohibition of the moral universe at that time. The universe of art is also independent and has nothing to do with morality. The universe of love should also be independent.

In the moral universe, based on the viewpoint of extended race, love should be "loved", but in the universe of love, love is supreme, sacred and pure. In love, every time the concepts of wealth, academic reputation and morality infiltrate, the innocence of love is less.

Chapter 7: Talking about further studies and course selection

In choosing a school, we should avoid the "qualification obsession" that has struck since ancient times and only take the diploma as a stepping stone to do something. The most rare and beneficial thing in studying is a sincere mentor and a loving friend. If there is such air, there is no university. In the course selection, it is often easy to follow the prominent schools in society. "Applying what you have learned" is not a bad idea, but people have different natural interests.

in my opinion, learning and doing business is really the second thing, and the first thing is "living", which means "enjoying", "appreciating" and "cultivating vitality", so I don't agree to talk about specialization early and take a narrow road early. It is not against vocational education, but should be based on liberal education.

Chapter 8: Talking about Composition

The biggest regret in my life is that I neglected art when I was young, but now I have nothing to do with art and art. Secondly, I envy others for doing good articles, so I should also persuade my young friends to practice more articles. In all arts, talent and manpower should not be neglected. Tolstoy took pains to copy and correct, and Koizumi Yakumo copied and corrected an article every two or three days. Everyone saw the beautiful words, but they didn't know their diligent attitude.

Learning literature is like learning painting. You can not only copy, but also sketch, and you should not neglect it. Nowadays, more attention is paid to new novels and vernacular poems, and actual reading of classics and ancient poems cannot be abandoned, because there is no difference between the old and the new. Many fields require students to write argumentative essays, but we should start with descriptive essays and narrative essays. When these two kinds of essays are done, argumentative essays are easy to do.

IX. Chapter 9: Talking about Emotion and Reason

When discussing things, scientists are very strict in distinguishing norms from facts, in order to deduce norms from facts, and cannot talk in vain. In this matter, we should consider whether life can be completely accepted and dominated by facts. A tendency in psychology is that instinct and emotion are the driving forces of behavior, while pleasure and pain occur later, so reason is sluggish.

The second tendency is that Freud's mind is more than the sea, and his subconscious mind is potentially influencing people's behavior on the surface of the water, and his reason is difficult to control his feelings, so he can only find some reasons after things start. Therefore, we know that the fact under discussion is that life cannot be completely dominated by reason.

Chapter 1: Talking about getting rid of

Hegel thinks that all tragedies are born from the conflict between two ideals, but in fact, life is the same. The tragedy of life is that standing on the wrong road only hesitates, and if you refuse to give up, you will take nothing. If you set a goal, you will concentrate on it and go there, and everything else will be ignored. This is the secret of success and the secret of avoiding troubles. Stevenson's thesis says that the art of omission is the art of omission, and life is just like this.

chapter 11: talk about a feeling gained by the Louvre

looking back at the deep and wide gap between the past and the present, we can see the progress now, but there should be other values that can be assessed besides the efficiency of this leap. The standard of evaluating the value of the highest product must value the humanelement.

in addition to the mechanical and efficient production, we hope that the works can comfort the feelings, be the crystallization of the author's strength and spirit, and express ideals and hopes. Don't even look at success or failure, but also ask whether the efforts behind it are the performance of noble ideals and great personality. Young people do not have to act only for the value of "efficiency".

chapter 12: talking about life and me

the way I treat me is to treat my peers as plants, trees, insects and fish, and live only in the gentle breeze and dew, in the severe summer and winter. This is not pessimistic. Looking at the spring garden with Wan Yan in full bloom and the winter river with frost and snow, it is much more vital than the bitter world.

the way I treat the world is the way I see birds nesting and ants hooking their eggs. It's also very interesting to be harassed, joys and sorrows. Tragedy is particularly exciting. The perfection of the world lies in its imperfection, and it is only possible with defects.
