In the process of growing up, I went through elementary school, middle school, and university, and received continuous training from dozens of teachers. In work and society, we interact with countless relatives, friends, acquaintances, and strangers on a daily basis. No matter what we learned in class or what we communicated with teachers, we have forgotten everything. Only individual moments along the way have been forgotten. , the shining sparks of words conveyed by some teachers, relatives, friends, etc. are burned into the depths of memory, turned into energy and integrated into the flesh and blood soul, continuing to inspire one's own growth.

When I read an article today, I thought of the good words and sayings that inspired me when I was growing up, shining like pearls in my mind, making me want to write them out and finalize them. into a beautiful pearl necklace.

Being born in the northwest rural areas of the 1970s, girls are very lucky to be able to study. As for extracurricular reading other than textbooks, it is simply a luxury and out of reach. Therefore, reading at the primary school level is just a textbook. The nutrition contained in it is just like people's three meals a day. I can't remember what I ate or what taste it tasted. However, with the nutrition provided by the books at that time, my body and mind gradually grew up and matured, and my cognitive level improved year by year. The bits and pieces recorded today are just a few of the "delicious dishes" I occasionally got during my schooling career. They are deeply memorable and will bring endless aftertaste every time I think of them.

The first pearl: "My baby is Hua Luogeng's." "Head"

For as long as I can remember, what I have heard the most are some comparisons around me. Most of them do not come from the voices of my parents, but from the unobstructed direct comparisons between people in the north in my living environment. Many families in the village have boys born in the same year, but the mother gives birth to a girl. Since she is the first child, she has not faced much discrimination from her family. When I was three or four years old, my father took me to the well to fetch water. I waited quietly and watched the adults squeaking and twisting the pulley round and round to draw water from the well. Suddenly, someone mentioned it while the adults were chatting in line to fetch water. The topic turned to the little child, and I heard a woman in the village say loudly, "Your little girl's forehead is too long! How ugly it will be when she grows up!" The father turned his head and looked at the child. One sentence has made a clear impression on me since I was a child: "My child has a bulging forehead, which means he has a lot of brains!" My baby is Hua Luogeng’s head! ”

When I was young, I didn’t know who Hua Luogeng was. From the tone of his voice, it was probably a good thing to have a bulging forehead, which meant he was smart! When I was a child, I treated my parents with trust and admiration like great men, and their words were like authority. The sentence also makes children cherish the body given by their parents. Regardless of whether it is handsome or ugly, their parents' openness will definitely make them convinced that when they grow up, they will not need to investigate the scientific nature and authenticity of their father's words, but this sentence brings their own character. ——Confidence and optimism are objective and true. These are all derived from the psychological hints of childhood - I have this bulging forehead and more brains than others. Is there a second pearl that I can’t learn? , "Look at the grown-up from a young age, and look at the old at the age of three. ”

When I was in the first or second grade of elementary school, I was playing at home one afternoon during the summer vacation. I don’t remember what happened. The uncle who came to the house to look for his father to do something saw the idle children and started to blame them like many parents. “… …"

I have completely forgotten the dialect of accusation at that time. Only the words he quoted, "You look at the older when you are young, and you look at the old when you are three years old"

I still remember it. His words It means that you children have not done anything since you were young, and you will have no future when you grow up! These eight words touched me a lot.

I remember that at that time, six new houses had just been built, and the doors and windows were still installed. There was no time to install the glass or paint, it was all wood. After my uncle left, I thought over and over in my mind the eight words that my uncle left behind after he cursed me

"Look at the old one when you are young, and look at the old one when you are three years old." So I picked up a calligraphy pen (I learned calligraphy when I was a child, and the ink is easy to come by) and wrote vertically on the two windowsills in the middle of the brand new window frame, "Look at the big ones when you are young, and look at the old ones at the age of three!" ", there is a mirror and a comb on the window sill. Every time I go to school and comb my hair, I can see these words. Every time I see it, it seems that my uncle is teaching me. In fact, my uncle has not done much in his life, but he and himself are different. It is a sentence of a mentor that reminds you when you are young that your words and deeds as a child will determine the kind of person you will become. This is also another expression of the sadness of being young and failing to work hard.

The third heart Pearl, "Only when you have endured all the hardships can you become a superior person"

"Only when you have endured all the hardships can you become a superior person"

This sentence comes from Feng Menglong's "Warning to the World" in the Ming Dynasty "Tongyan·Yu Tang Chun Luo Ji Hui" means that you have to go through a lot of hardships to gain fame and wealth and become a person respected and loved by others. However, when I was a child in an era when extracurricular books were extremely scarce, I had no chance to meet Feng Menglong. "Words of Warning". Fortunately, I indirectly heard this sentence through the mouth of my 19-year-old Chinese teacher in the first grade of junior high school and was deeply inspired. It seems that I have found a magic weapon for a person's hard work to make progress, not only relying on the brain. Intelligence is more about hard work. This is similar to what Edison said in his speech: "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration."

At this moment, as a junior high school student, I realize that when I was a child, I only relied on my own cleverness and only focused on the efficiency of a few dozen minutes in class, and the learning effect was far from enough.

There is an eye-catching sticker on the top of the blackboard in a classroom of a certain grade in junior high school - "There is a road to the mountain of books, and hard work is the path, and there is no end to the sea of ??learning, and the boat is a boat." Just the basics. Even if talent is lacking, it can be made up for by endless diligence. As a child of a farm family, nothing is missing but the spirit of hard work and hard work.

The fourth pearl, "There is no need to raise the whip to push yourself!"

This sentence comes from Mr. Zang Kejia's "Old Scalper" -

"Block A wasteland of water and mud, plowed deeply and carefully to move things.

The old cow also understands that time is precious, and he does not wait for his whip to work hard."

Published in "People's Daily" on December 2, 1982. Daily newspaper page 8. I was in the first grade of elementary school at that time. I was in the remote northwest. Where could I read newspapers? Not to mention the People’s Daily. But I am lucky to have many gentlemen! They always walk in front of the students, and then use the excuse of teaching from heart to let this sentence take root in the hearts of the students.

Old scalpers can be seen everywhere in the countryside when farming is busy. The whip is raised and draws an arc in the air and then makes a loud "bia" or "pa" sound. The old cow takes firm steps and lowers its head to pull the plowshare. Plowing the fields. A lazy cow will inevitably be whipped several times. The long whip will hurt the body, and the work that needs to be done must be done! If a smart scalper understands his master's thoughts and actively cooperates, he won't need to be beaten. The master will just raise his whip in the air and give orders. Maybe he can add a few more bowls of fodder at night to reward him!

It couldn’t be easier for children in rural areas to understand the saying “You don’t need to raise your whip to push yourself”. In terms of learning? Shouldn't we learn from the wise old cow?

Lesson 5 Pearls, "Forcing the cow's head down and not drinking water"

I first heard this sentence from the class teacher of the second grade of junior high school, who mentioned a common saying in a class meeting - "Forcing the cow's head down" He presses the cow's head and refuses to drink water." At that time, the class teacher managed discipline and mobilized everyone's subjective initiative. Learning needs to be pursued eagerly by oneself, and it is impossible to rely on teachers to force and scold you. A group of children who grew up in rural areas, a group of teachers who live and work in rural areas, and the proverbs quoted in class are inseparable from every plant and thing in rural areas. The teacher's words remind me that the pursuit of knowledge must be an urgent need of one's own, so that one can be proactive and eager. External pressure from teachers, parents, etc. is only an auxiliary force. The decisive factor for success in anything is your own inner strength. At this time, I realized more deeply that learning is my own business, not for my parents or teachers! Only if the urgent need for knowledge arises internally, how can we force the bull's head down? I am afraid that I am already actively looking for a water source suitable for me because of my thirst.

The sixth pearl, "College is not that sacred, you can do it too!"

When I was a freshman in high school, I chose not to go to high school, against the wishes of some relatives who asked me to retake the technical secondary school exam. Repeated textbooks, firmly embarked on the path of ordinary high schools. In rural high schools, the prospect of entering the college entrance examination every year is to "shave your head". Parents have no hope, and they themselves are at a loss about their future.

A physics teacher who has just graduated from college, shared his extracurricular life in the remaining few minutes after class, which gave people hope again. He said:

"University is not as mysterious or unattainable as you think. You can do it!"

The teacher's words inspired the morale of many people. From then on, everyone likes that teachers in the classroom share their life experiences with students after class to generate greater inspiration, allowing students to have greater confidence and curiosity about the outside world, thereby generating motivation to learn. Some teachers like to "fill the whole class" style of cramming. A sentence I read: "A sharpened knife will never stop him from chopping wood."

I firmly believe that the teacher's encouragement is like sharpening a knife for children. If the blade is sharpened, any wood-chopping task will be done with twice the result with half the effort.

The seventh pearl, "The end of a strong crossbow cannot penetrate Lu Jian!"

This sentence comes from an excerpt of an ancient high school article - "Historical Records: Biography of Han Changru" by Sima Qian of the Western Han Dynasty: "At the end of the strong crossbow, the power cannot penetrate the silk; at the end of the wind, the power cannot float the feather."

One day in the third year of high school, I heard a Chinese teacher who was over fifty years old standing on two platforms, holding his hands on At the lecture table, "The End of the Crossbow" was explained in a cadence. The meaning of this idiom is that the arrows fired by the strong crossbow have reached the farthest range, which means that the powerful power has failed. ”

Ever since I learned this sentence, I have always been instructed to learn not to fight fatigue. I believe that a person’s energy for a day will be at the end of the day by the end of self-study in the evening, and the strength can no longer penetrate the thin Lu Tie. Artificial delay has little effect except to comfort yourself. Therefore, I never bother to stay up late as a symbol of hard work. I always use going to bed early and getting up early as a guarantee for efficient learning.

The eighth pearl is, "When you see the virtuous, think about them; when you see the virtuous, think inwardly!" "

Study Confucius's "The Analects" in high school

"When you see a virtuous person, think about them together; when you see a virtuous person, you should introspect yourself"! It means that if several people are together, there must be one person among them. A capable person should learn from his strengths. When he sees a person without virtue, he should reflect on whether he has made the same mistakes. The inspiration of this sentence is to learn from life and learn from the people around you who have strengths. If you have your own strengths and weaknesses, you should avoid such shortcomings. If you use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, why not make progress?

Entering society and leaving school, without the guidance of teachers, the rest requires self-study and self-education. After receiving school education for many years, the ultimate goal of education is to teach a person to educate himself, and the ultimate goal of learning is to learn to learn by himself and have the ability to learn by himself. In this way, it is possible to achieve lifelong learning and constant growth on the road of life.

After entering the workplace, I am ashamed to be a teacher, but I always remember to practice what Mr. Tao Xingzhi said: "A teacher should not specialize in teaching, his responsibility is to teach people how to behave; students should not specialize in teaching." Reading, his responsibility is to learn the way of life. "On the road of life, he will always be a primary school student who is not deeply involved in the world, receiving self-education and other education - especially education from life. Life is what people need throughout their lives. Unable to graduate from college. If we must make a metaphor, then our own life is like a string of necklaces. The pearls are absorbed in pieces, but over time, they will form a string of valuable pearls. If you look back and let others appreciate it, you may be able to inspire others.
