Spiders make a web between two eaves, glue the silk from one eave, go down the wall and crawl forward step by step. It carefully cocked its tail to prevent spider silk from touching sand or other objects. Pass through a clearing, then climb the opposite eaves, and when the height is almost the same, tighten the silk again. It takes more than half an hour to collect the first silk until it is in a straight line. Then take the first straight line as the diameter, and slowly form a net for survival. This is why spiders can hang their nets in the air without flying around.
people are different from things, and the most valuable thing about people is their subjective initiative. People must give full play to their subjective initiative if they want to make achievements in the activities of understanding and transforming the world. This is because: first, the essence and laws of things are hidden in phenomena; Second, things will not automatically meet people's needs; Third, people will inevitably encounter various difficulties, setbacks and even failures in the process of understanding and transforming the world. As contemporary youth, we should believe in "since heaven gave the talent, let it be employed!", cherish our youth, give full play to our subjective initiative, and get all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor, so as to lay a good foundation for giving full play to our subjective initiative in social life in the future.
9. "Nothing is impossible, only unexpected"
On the public square in Entezengying Town, Alabama, USA. There stands a tall monument. On the front of the monument, there is a line of golden characters: I am deeply grateful to the weevil for its contribution to the prosperity of the economy.
It started in 191, when a catastrophic weevil disaster swept through the cotton fields in Alabama. Wherever the insects went, cotton was destroyed, and cotton farmers wanted to cry.
After the disaster, people in Alabama who planted cotton for generations realized that it was not enough to grow cotton alone, so they began to interplant corn, soybeans, tobacco leaves and other crops in cotton fields. Although there are weevils in cotton fields, they are not enough, and a small amount of pesticides can destroy them.
Cotton and other crops are growing well. The harvest shows that the economic benefit of planting a variety of crops is four times higher than that of planting cotton alone. Alabama's economy has since embarked on the road to prosperity.
people in Alabama believe that the economic prosperity should be attributed to the weevil disaster, so they decided to build a monument at the original place of the weevil disaster.
This story shows that the crisis also contains "danger" and "opportunity". It's just that we habitually only see "danger" but not "opportunity".
3. A straw crushed a camel
Mr. Feng Ziai has such a passage: Once I drew a man holding two sheep and two ropes. A gentleman taught me: "Just draw one rope. "If you lead a sheep, everyone will follow you." I am worried that I have too little experience. Later, after careful observation, I saw that it was indeed the case: even if I went to the slaughterhouse, no sheep would leave the group and find another way to live. The same is true when I saw ducks later. Duck drivers put hundreds of ducks in the river without tying them with ropes, and flocks of ducks can follow each other and get together. When going ashore, as long as the duck driver catches up with one or two, the rest will follow. Even in ports extending in all directions, no duck is willing to go its own way.
everything contains its own special contradictions, which constitutes a special essence that distinguishes one thing from others. Things without their own characteristics not only do not exist, but also do not need to exist. What Mr. Fengziai is talking about here is the blind obedience of animals. However, countless facts have proved that blind obedience is not the patent of lower animals, so are people who are higher animals? What others do, I do, what others do, I do, blindly copy, follow the trend, follow the crowd, without their own personality and characteristics. This enlightens us: from the establishment of China's socialist modernization to everyone's daily work, we must insist on proceeding from reality, analyze the particularity of contradictions in detail, and take time, place and conditions as the transfer, and oppose any form of "one size fits all" and "one wind blows".
If you love me, don't worry about me. Once, a group of scientists visited the seaside and found a small turtle poking its head out of a cave in the sand and looking around. After confirming that there was no danger, it crawled slowly and warily into the sea. At this time, a seabird hovering in the air found it and washed it down. The small turtle quickly turned its head and climbed back. When these scientists saw this, they felt pity and decided to help the little turtle. They ran to pick up the baby turtle and put it into the sea. Just as they were complacent about their "righteous act", something unexpected happened. Other small turtles in the cave saw that the little turtle that climbed out did not come back, thinking that it was safe outside, so they climbed out one after another. This immediately attracted a large group of seabirds, who kept rushing down and enjoying a sumptuous meal. In fact, the first turtle that climbed out was a sentry who came out to explore the road, and once it was in danger, he went back to report it. People helped the little turtle out of kindness, but they killed the whole nest of turtles.
Laws are objective, so we should respect them and act according to the objective laws. Nature has its own laws, and many of them are beyond our grasp. Man-made interference is often a good intention to do bad things and not help. When the former people were indifferent to the environment, they caught delicious animals to eat and interesting things to play with, and did everything they could. Now, people's environmental awareness has improved, and many people know to care for animals, but it seems that they have overcorrected and gone to the other extreme. Many people keep animals as pets and take good care of them. In fact, these practices violate the laws of nature and are contrary to the protection of animals. Animals are natural things, and only by tempering in nature can they grow healthily. It is the best protection for them that human beings do not interfere in their lives.
2. The sun is new every day, and it will always be new.
American zoologists once did an experiment: they stuffed sodium chloride tablets into mutton and fed them to wolves. After eating mutton, the wolves suffered from indigestion in a short time, vomiting and pain. The wolf who tasted the pain lost his appetite for mutton sheep and changed to other meat. Because the mother wolf eats what food, her milk has the taste of what food, so once she changes her appetite, it will also affect her cubs. After the wolf changed its diet, zoologists domesticated it and used it to guard the sheep. Wolves are physically strong, good at running, loyal to their duties, and can drive away lost sheep without hesitation. A sheep sees a wolf, just as a mouse sees a cat, and obediently obeys the wolf's mercy. In the wild, the wolf's main food is voles and other harmful animals. Taking ll wolf as a shepherd indirectly protects forests and grasslands, which is beneficial to ecological balance.
people are not passive and powerless in the face of laws, but can give full play to their subjective initiative to understand and use laws. Zoologists recognized the wolf's eating and living rules, and then began to change the wolf's eating habits, and then trained him to make apes from eating sheep to herding sheep. This is the performance of understanding and using the law for the benefit of mankind. Connection is objective, but people can change the state of things and establish new concrete connections according to the inherent connection of things. Zoologists show this by changing the wolf's eating habits, so that the wolf can eat harmful animals such as voles instead of sheep. As one of the basic forms of practice, scientific experiment plays an extremely important role. Scientific experiments can improve people's level of understanding and transforming nature, and enable people to obtain quality information from nature more reasonably.
6. The idea of "Many a mickle makes a mickle"
The British magazine Mystery once reported that primates such as chimpanzees, like humans, have certain immoral concepts. Dr. Bian Gore, a zoologist at Emory University Research Center in the United States, found that chimpanzees have a "gratitude view" of "gratitude for kindness". Experiments have proved that chimpanzee A often gives food to chimpanzee B, and when B has food, it will also give it to A selflessly as a reward. In addition, bullied orangutans will be caressed by their companions, and young or weak orangutans will be protected by "justice" in the group. In a research report released 2 years ago, Mr. Hal of San Francisco State University said that when training long-tailed monkeys to put a token into the slot to get food, he found a male monkey to help the oldest female monkey who had not learned this method. The male monkey picked up the lost token three times and put it into the machine to let the female monkey get food. Sociality is the most important and fundamental attribute of human beings. Everyone's survival and development are inseparable from certain social relations, and everyone's activities are restricted by social development and have a dynamic impact on society. Therefore, everyone must correctly handle the relationship between individuals and society, carry forward the spirit of mutual assistance and love, unity and cooperation, consciously abide by social ethics, and make their activities meet not only their own needs but also the needs of society and others; We must adhere to the value orientation of collectivism, so as to "have the country in mind, the collective in mind and others in mind", and oppose harming others' interests, harming the public and enriching the private interests, and opposing putting individuals above society.
7. Thinking from "One cannot step into the same river twice";
millions of years ago, due to the devouring of a large number of herbivores, the growth of grass could not meet the needs of animals. In order to survive, there is a kind of deer whose neck grows longer and longer, so that it can eat the leaves of the tall acacia tree and then turn into a giraffe. In order to prevent the leaves from being eaten by giraffes, Albizia Albizia grows long steel spines, which make giraffes have to grow thick protective layers on the surfaces of tongue, throat, esophagus and stomach wall, and adopt the method of flank feeding. In order to deal with giraffes, Albizia Albizia tree has made a new move. As long as giraffes eat leaves at first, they will quickly produce a toxin, and if they eat a lot, they will die of poisoning. Giraffe slowly mastered the new strategy, Mei Lu's sister tree only ate for a while, and Albizia Albizia tree ate another tree before it excreted toxins. As a result, when the giraffe eats the leaves, the acacia tree quickly releases a warning smell to the trees next to it, and the trees that receive the warning message will produce toxins in advance, so that the giraffe can't get food. The clever giraffe has a guerrilla warfare method of "shooting one gun here and firing one gun there".
contradiction is the driving force of things. Contradictory parties are interdependent and struggle with each other, thus promoting the movement, change and development of things. What we see in the zoo is only the invisible and listless lions and tigers. Once they return to nature, it is difficult for them to become the strong ones in the competition. Competition is the main external condition to improve the ability of survival and development, the basis of animal evolution and the important reason to promote the progress of human society. The survival history of long-necked deer inspires us that if human beings want to develop, they should actively shift from "competitive response" to "seeking competition", and the idea that "there is no tiger in the mountains, and monkeys are the overlord" needs to be completely abandoned. Competition and development are the relations of unity of opposites. If the opponent has no skill, he will not be able to work long; The stronger you are, the faster you will improve yourself. The competition and development between enterprises is like this, and so is the competition and development among employees within enterprises.
4. Talk about the experience after learning materialist dialectics
Once upon a time, there was a scholar who had a stupid son.
One day, a friend came to visit him. In order to show his talent, he decided to let his son entertain the guests, and specially gave him a few words: "If the guests ask you why our peach trees are gone, just say,' Let me cut them down and sell them'; If he asks why our fence is in such a mess, you can say,' The war is raging'; If he asks why our family has so much money, you can say' my parents earned it hard'; If he asks you how you are so smart, you can say,' Of course, it has been in our family for generations'. "
So my son went to entertain the guests. The guest asked, "Where's your father? "The son replied," Let me blow it! "The guest was surprised and then asked," Where's your mother? "The son replied," The war is raging! "Why is there so much cow dung in front of your house?" The son proudly said, "My parents worked hard to earn it!" The guest asked angrily, "How can you say that!" The son proudly said, "Of course, our family has been like this for generations!"
[ Analysis] Dialectical materialism holds that matter determines consciousness, and consciousness is the reflection of matter. This requires people to think about problems and do things from reality, so that the subjective reality conforms to the objective. In order to show their talents, the scholar ignored the stupid son's low intelligence level and taught the hospitality subjectively, which violated the objective reality, thus making a lot of jokes in the process of hospitality. Materialist dialectics holds that the contradiction of things is special, and we should stick to the concrete analysis of specific problems. The scholar's son can't respond to the change of language environment, but mechanically recite his father's teachings and answer irrelevant questions, which is bound to make a joke.
An old man who just retired went back to his hometown and bought a house in a small town. He wanted to be quiet there and write some memoirs. In the first few weeks, everything was fine. But one day, three boys began to play here after school. They kicked the trash can around and had a good time.
The old man couldn't stand the noise, so he went out to negotiate with the young people. He said, "I like it when you play with buckets. If you come to play every day, I will give you three a dollar each." The three young people were very happy, and they performed their footwork more vigorously. After three days, the old man said sadly, "inflation has halved my income. From tomorrow on, I will only give you 5 cents." The young people were very unhappy, but they agreed. After school every day, continue to perform. A week later, the old man said to them sadly, "I haven't received the pension remittance recently. I'm sorry, I can only give 2 cents a day."
"Twenty cents?" A young man turned blue. "We won't waste our precious time performing for you for just 2 cents. We'll quit".
Since then, the old man has lived in peace again.
