As soon as the topic came out this time, a sentence immediately flashed in my mind: "If you want to learn, learn hard, and if you want to play, have fun." This sentence is not my motto, but it has been with me since I was a child. Until now. When I was a child, this sentence was a common saying used by my father to teach us; now, this sentence has become my mantra in work and life.
When I first heard this sentence, it went in one ear and out the other like children nowadays. It was not until I learned this sentence in a textbook that I felt that it was a wise saying. This article appeared in a primary school textbook of that era, and the original text is still fresh in my memory (mainly because I keep using it): "It has been decades since my father Li Dazhao left us, and I will never forget his love for me. Education. Whenever I see children studying, I will think of what my father said, 'Children should not do anything half-heartedly. If they want to learn, they should learn hard, and if they want to play, they should have fun!'..." This is the article "My Dad" written by Li Xinghua, the daughter of the revolutionary martyr Comrade Li Dazhao. The great revolutionary who was loyal to the revolutionary cause and unyielding in the face of the enemy also had a deep and clear love for his children. He taught his children to study hard and do anything. All must be single-minded. Precisely because he has such an educational philosophy, it is also an important reason for his infinite loyalty to the liberation cause of the Chinese people, his belief in Marxism and the revolutionary future of the proletariat, and his fearless dedication to the creation and development of the communist movement in our country. factor.
As a teacher, we often see such children who cannot concentrate during class. They look around and fiddle with things. When there is nothing, they start to pull at the corners of their clothes, gnaw their hands, and scratch their heads. I know only a little bit about it in class, and I can't complete my homework after class. I have to make up homework when other children have a break. Everyone in class can't concentrate when studying, and the effect after class can be imagined. Such children neither play well nor learn well. It seems like a small problem, but in the long run it will directly affect the child's physical and mental health development. In the long run, the future life will be close to a mess. Cultivating children's "concentration" has become a top priority for teachers and parents. For a child with strong concentration, parents can rest assured and teachers can worry less. We all know that cultivating concentration is not something that can be done in a day or two. It needs to start in primary school or even kindergarten. If a three- or four-year-old child does not play with each toy for more than three minutes, and the parents still think it is normal and do not guide and correct them in a timely manner, It is difficult for this child to adapt to school life when he reaches elementary school. Of course, there are also children with "Edison-style inability to sit still", but Edison's inability to sit still is by no means "lack of concentration". Otherwise, it would be impossible to have the patience and perseverance to invent the light bulb. Tested more than two thousand times. Therefore, parents cannot one-sidedly understand some successful people in a general way. This is the same as taking the small probability event of "you can still succeed without going to school" as the truth. Therefore, I often use this sentence to warn students, let the children learn and play well. If they are not good at learning, they must also play well.
? As a parent, when it comes to cultivating children's concentration, I find that there is a reason why children do not listen carefully at school. The reason is that parents do not intentionally cultivate this skill in their children and do not provide them with An environment and space for focus. Having said this, someone should refute "Comrade Mao Zedong deliberately studied in a busy city". I would also like to say that "there is only one Mao Zedong in the world", and most people still have to learn from "Meng Mu's three moves". Just imagine, in the living room there is noisy TV and music, the sound of punching while drinking, the rustling of mahjong, etc. It is difficult for children to concentrate. In other words, some parents say they are reading with their children, but in fact they cannot sit still. They either move back and forth, or touch their mobile phones several times before turning the page. Teaching by example is more important than teaching by words, and the result is inevitable. This sentence is also the "iron rule" that my children and I practice together.
?Now, after working for more than ten years, I have a deeper understanding of this sentence. In fact, this sentence refers to an attitude.
1. Learning: Especially for adults’ learning, there is really no need for additional equipment because there is no audience. Whether you are self-study or participating in any form of learning, you need to invest, because compared to the student days, we really have less time, and there is greater pressure from all aspects. If learning is about pretending, it is better to follow TV dramas, Spending time with children, visiting parents, and "pretending" is really a waste. For example, when I joined online learning this summer, several students asked, "It doesn't matter if you don't study hard!" I said, "It doesn't matter, I just feel like you wasted your time." Because summer vacation is originally a time for teachers to relax and rest, if you sign up and don’t study seriously, you might as well go out for travel, beauty shopping, etc.
2. Do things: If you want to do something, try your best to do it well. You must do your job well. Not only do you have to complete it, but you also have to find the best way and method to pursue the best presentation. There are also some people who act like monks and clock the clock every day, but there is definitely a difference in their mental outlook. , a person who is active in work and pursues excellence must also be a person who is full of heart and full of energy on the outside. For extra things, such as things to do for others, if it is not within your ability or you don't have enough time, you will feel more at ease if you refuse directly than if you don't do it well.
3. Expanded understanding of this sentence: The same principle applies to other aspects, such as feelings. If you love, please love deeply. If you don’t love, please leave. For example, when dealing with things, be serious. Do it, don’t take advantage of loopholes, in Mr. Hu’s words, “win respect with professionalism”, pursue inner peace and solidity, and don’t worry about being exposed.
