This is what we mentioned earlier. In the past history, there were three basic principles for talents, namely, talent, morality and learning. Some people's character is born-character is often mostly from nature-but they have no talent. We know that people with moral character can stick to their guns and teach such people to sit in the rear area, which is very good; Teach him to try to open a situation and rush out, then he can't do it. He doesn't have this talent. He only has the talent of persistence, not the talent of creation. Therefore, the talents of success are emphasized on morality. It is difficult to have both talents and virtues, but there is one thing that can be remedied, that is, learning, and using knowledge to cultivate the missing side. Although some people are born with virtue, they still need knowledge to cultivate them. When it comes to learning, there are two things, one is to learn, and the other is to ask. Learning is learning by asking more from others, learning more from others, accepting the experience of predecessors, and gaining it by yourself from experience. But "learning without thinking is useless". Some people are learned, but they don't have wise thoughts, so they are pedantic and alienated, becoming unrealistic and useless. So you can be a scholar, like us-teaching and bragging, not only in academia, but also in other circles, with knowledge but no real thoughts, which is unrealistic "vain"
On the contrary, some people "think without learning is dangerous". They are thoughtful and talented, but it is also very dangerous without practical training in learning. Many people often rely on genius to run amok, mistakenly thinking that it is creation, and as a result, they are trapped in self-harm.
The young people in China, in particular, are suffering from the exchange and impact of ideological trends at all times and at all times, their thoughts are hesitant and contradictory, and their emotions are depressed and agitated, which fully shows the disorder and anxiety of the times, thus forming the morbid psychology of teenagers. On the other hand, the older generation, who represents the previous generation, laments the poverty, sadness, "the world is getting worse" and "people's hearts are not old", and they are worried that they will not be able to live for a day; In fact, childlike innocence, with a pure heart, came to the world, just like a blank sheet of paper, dyed with red ink and red ink. As a result, it was due to the subjective concept of parents-"Looking forward to a child's success, looking forward to a woman's success." Smear, make them colorful, rotten and dirty, not forcing them into bookworms, or forcing them into Taibao, not really Taibao. I often say that Zhentaibao is a talent who creates history. Therefore, the thoughts of the older generation, whether parents, teachers or leaders, should be educated by themselves first. Especially those who engage in education and lead cultural thoughts, can't help but be clear about this problem.
Therefore, when it comes to youth education, we should first pay attention to their fantasy, because fantasy is the basis of learning. According to my research, regardless of ancient and modern times, China and foreign countries, the foundation of everyone's knowledge and career is based on this period of adolescence. From this period of adolescence, we can see the achievements of middle-aged and elderly people from the personality of teenagers. A person's life, but also the ideal of youth plus the cultivation of knowledge, to the middle-aged career is to play the ideal of youth, old age to recall their own achievements in that period of youth. So I say that history and culture, whether Chinese or foreign, will always be young, always only thirty years old, not five thousand years. Why? People's intelligence and wisdom are brought into full play before the age of 4, even from the scientific point of view. After the age of 4, it is rare to have new inventions. Everyone's achievements are in the stage of teenagers to their twenties and thirties. The accumulated achievements of human beings during this period will become cultural history. When the human brain is fully mature, it is in its fifties and sixties, but most of it falls to the ground like an apple. Therefore, human wisdom will always be a relay race in this 3-4 stage, and it will always be followed by 2-3 years of experience. As a result, it has a history of 5, years and only 2-3 years of experience. So the basic human problems have not been solved. Chicken or egg first? Where did the universe come from? What is life like? There is still no absolute answer. Therefore, with thought, we need mechanics. As mentioned above, learning without thinking is "useless" and useless; On the contrary, if you have ideas, you need to learn to cultivate them. For example, teenagers are bold and unrestrained, but they are not mechanical. Just like some teenagers in the United States, they streaked by taking drugs and don't know what tricks to play in the future. Therefore, thinking without learning is "dangerous" and dangerous.
