There is a joke that says so.

"The teacher has been working for a long time, and parents think you are unfilial because you always look busy; Relatives think that you are not close and basically have no time to go back and forth; Friends think you are faking it, so don't contact unless you have to. Unmarried people think you have a problem, married people think you are having an affair, divorced people think you have a purpose ... if there are teachers among relatives and friends, invite them to dinner. Anyway, they can't go ... "

There is another joke that goes like this.

"Do you know why some stars are easy to catch fire in the backyard? In the final analysis, it is because the daughter-in-law is not allowed to be a teacher. If the daughter-in-law is a teacher, she gets up early in the morning to go to work, do morning reading, prepare lessons, attend classes, attend classes, hold public classes, seminars, class meetings, parent-teacher conferences, training meetings ... She gets up earlier than the chicken, sleeps later than the dog and keeps running. She is full of students, and her throat hurts so much that she can't speak ... She turns on the computer 24 hours a day and handles emergencies at any time ... Finally, at the weekend, she has to wash clothes and wipe the floor.

Well, what a painful understanding!

The question is: if you work so hard, why do you want to be a teacher?

two

Two reasons.

Some because of love, some because of helplessness.

I like it very much. That's what I want to do.

Helpless, helpless, nothing else can be done.

I love a lot. It's good to be a teacher. It goes without saying that there are relatives everywhere in the motherland. To put it mildly, we have accompanied the youth of so many people all our lives and changed the fate of so many people intentionally or unintentionally.

There is a lot of helplessness. It's hard to find a job, and it's even harder to get into school. In addition, there are two slightly fixed holidays, a relatively stable working mode and a relatively simple working environment. It's not easy to be a teacher. Let's face it.

No matter love or helplessness, you are a stranger when you enter school. Do it if you want.

Love a line, do a line. This is called matching.

Doing one thing and loving another is called dedication.

Make a line, a line, this is called planning.

Why should I be a teacher?

Because of love.

This question is often asked by students, colleagues and leaders.

When I first arrived at the university, I worked as a counselor. Basically, they eat and drink Lazar's thoughts about health, safety and love in the dormitory, regardless of anything, but everyone may not agree with them.

For example, in many colleges and universities, counselors are called guides rather than teachers.

I haven't been used to students calling me Xu Dao for a long time, because when we go to college, calling a counselor means calling a teacher. Of course, the most unacceptable thing is not Xu Dao, but Chuan Dao ...

Chuan Dao ... doesn't sound like China, and I'm quite angry.

By analogy, Wang is Wang Dao, Xia is Xia Dao, and Hu. ...

Some students changed their majors or left college after graduation. When they left, many people advised me to "resign", "reconsider", "do something wrong" and "you are still young, you can start over".

Some students are afraid that I can't find the direction of life and give me a detailed life plan.

For example, "You can be a translator, trainer, host, reporter ... You say crosstalk is really bad." ...

This is too much. What do you mean, cross talk is really out of the question? Do you think a person can speak crosstalk as long as his mouth is long?

Some students look at the mystery of their own people: Brother Chuan, tell the truth yourself. Did you have any skeletons in your closet when you were in college?

Shui Yue, why do you ask? ...

There must be something wrong with giving up a job with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands and coming to colleges and universities to clear soup without changing water.

I said, there is a problem. The problem is that I love it.

Ha ha. They left with a smile.

We must have come to this world with a mission. We must have a mission. The starting point of this task is to find yourself, the possibility of life and the possibility of the future.

I have always believed that our ultimate goal is to be ourselves freely.

Therefore, we should explore, search, discover and compare, and determine what we are best at and what we like best as soon as possible.

I first got on the podium in 2005, the summer vacation after graduating from college, in Qingdao.

I found a training institution to teach English at random. I didn't have any teaching experience at that time, and I didn't graduate from normal school, let alone want to be a teacher.

It is agreed that the salary of 800 yuan will fluctuate according to the teaching performance of 20 days.

I didn't bargain because I didn't have the capital and didn't know how much I was worth. Besides, in 2005, 800 yuan for a student was not a small sum.

That is, in these twenty days, I found that I should be more suitable as a teacher, because the class atmosphere is the best, because the final score is the highest, and because when I was leaving Qingdao at the end of this class, many students gathered around me to take pictures and sign autographs, and there was a scene in which students were in tears and saw each other off like stars.

Finally, the headmaster and I negotiated the salary and asked me with a smile how much I expected to get.

With the above as the basis, I think the overall salary is ok, and I should get more, so I have the cheek to bite my teeth and say, 1000.

The headmaster said, ok, I'll listen to you.

Open the envelope. It's 1800.

Well, I clearly said 1000.

In fact, from that moment on, the world opened a window for me, or gave me a world.

Maybe I can't do many things, but as a teacher, I should be able to.

five

Knowing where the direction is, the path is clear. Now that I know that I want to be a teacher in the future, what I need to do is to constantly increase more opportunities for exercise and strengthen the possibility of this goal.

If you want to make a living by a certain ability, you need to exercise this ability to the extreme of your life.

Later, after studying as a graduate student, I found the opportunity to teach foreigners of all colors in the Institute of Chinese as a Foreign Language.

Later, I went to New Oriental and had the opportunity to teach people at all levels in China in front of hundreds of people.

Generally speaking, it seems that no matter what course you teach, you may have all kinds of difficulties and adaptations at first, and finally get along well, get a top salary or become a more popular teacher.

Therefore, I have many opportunities to prove that I belong to this profession and decide that this profession is suitable for me.

Moreover, when you think this is a profession, you will respect your choice and be full of awe.

I gradually decided that this life is to be with students.

Whether I graduate from undergraduate or graduate school, I actually have many choices.

When I graduated from college, I signed Foxconn Group very early, and I also considered Haier Group and China Mobile. At that time, I didn't want to be a teacher

Choose banks, TV stations, newspapers, training institutions and so on.

In a dazzling array of choices, I no longer cast a net everywhere, but chose to respect my heart, and 80% of my resume came from colleges and universities.

A very important reason why I went to Nanjing is that there are many colleges and universities in Nanjing, which can save the interview cost.

Some people say that training institutions are not teachers, too?

Different, training institutions are more short-term classes, more than a dozen classes, and they come and go in a hurry.

Students need companionship, and youth needs peers.

You didn't sow hope for him to die.

School teachers can do more.

The starting point for me to go to college is a counselor, who is also a teacher.

Sadly, this is a topic that needs to be discussed.

Because many people do not have this concept, such as students, such as leaders, such as counselors themselves.

I have been a psychological counselor since 2008. Every year on Teachers' Day, I receive all kinds of strange blessing messages, which often make me feel the urge to release the power of the wild.

For example:

Director Xu, today is Teacher's Day. I don't know if you are old teachers, but I wish you a happy holiday!

Director Xu, today is Teacher's Day. Whether you are an old teacher or not, I wish you a happy holiday!

Xu Dao, today is Teacher's Day. Although you are not a teacher, I wish you a happy holiday!

……

Can we still talk?

The boat of friendship didn't just turn over, it just turned back and turned three and a half times.

Since you are not a teacher, what festival do you want? !

Routine, all routines, and those impulses that have nowhere to put them.

In fact, the Ministry of Education clearly stipulates that counselors have the dual identity of teachers and cadres.

Counselors are teachers.

The question comes again: why don't you admit it?

seven

There are other people's reasons and their own problems.

Many people have a lot of misunderstandings about psychological counselors, and think that psychological counselors are a basic type of work that does not require professional thresholds, that is, a combination of various types of work, such as babysitting and security. And they are omnipotent, and even think that anyone can be a psychological counselor. This view has a huge market and a long history, and it is deeply rooted and will continue for a foreseeable period of time.

Therefore, if there are articles wronged by counselors, the forwarding volume is usually considerable, because many people's voices are expressed, but the comment area is often noisy. In fact, grievances and complaints can't add points, and fierce arguments can't change others. The key is that we all have time, and we can all prove ourselves and our love for our career and students by actions. People who don't want to or think this business is bad will leave slowly, and the comrades who stay don't need a word or two of chicken soup to comfort themselves. Blx can't be a counselor.

But when it comes to the lack of professional identity, there are also counselors' own problems.

Many counselors feel that they have no classes, but we do, and some people ignore them.

For example, monthly review, grade meeting, this is our classroom.

Many counselors think that they don't have their own courses. In fact, we can have them, and some people ignore them.

For example, politeness, such as traditional culture, such as ideology, such as job hunting skills. ...

For example, ideological and political education, such as psychology courses, such as career planning, such as military theory ...

Which course is not a course? What lesson have you not learned? Which one is not a major?

In fact, if any topic can be described as a topic, if a topic can be described as a course; If you can say that the hospital is the first and the province is the first, if you become a lecturer, associate professor and professor, who can say that you are not a teacher?

Insufficient level, insufficient reserves, unclear direction, study, discover and work hard.

Whether it is love or helplessness, if you choose, you must be worthy of yourself and your classmates. Without core competitiveness and irreplaceability, how can we increase the possibility of more choices?

Moreover, in these basic persistence of love and dedication, we can often find the way forward.

The road must go forward. Walking, you will see the scenery, the distance and the bigger world.

What's the point of being a teacher?

I'd better tell a story.

In 2008, I worked as a counselor in the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of China Southern Airlines. I have a student named Liu Pengfei.

One day, he came to me and said he wanted to go to Beijing Normal University to study psychology as a graduate student. Many people are against it.

A science and engineering man from the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, without any foundation, got a master's degree in psychology, one of the best in the country. Everyone knows how difficult it is.

Unfortunately, he met me.

I am a principled person, and my principle is: no principle.

We had a meal together, which should have been invited by me because I was good-looking. Of course, Liu Pengfei may have a better face.

During the period, he was asked many questions, such as what subjects Beijing Normal University took, what textbooks were used, what contents were in the textbooks, and so on. He answered them like a stream.

I said, I support you and get into Beijing Normal University.

Then, he decided to apply for Beijing Normal University.

Then, you should have guessed the result.

He failed the exam.

Actually, it's normal to think about it. The psychology of Beijing Normal University is first-class in China, so it's fantastic to be admitted.

Then, he graduated, and I slowly forgot about it, forgetting the story of an electromechanical person and psychology of Beijing Normal University.

If this is a foreshadowing of life, time will surprise you one day.

In the summer of 20 15, I attended a training in Beijing normal university and signed in at the gate.

The handsome little brother in charge of signing in whispered, Brother Chuan, is that you?

I was stunned. I didn't expect to be so popular? Beijing also has fans everywhere?

The moment I looked up, with all the memories of the past, I blurted out: Liu Pengfei!

With pride, happiness and deep admiration, I warmly embraced the graduate student of Beijing Normal University.

That afternoon, the sky in Beijing Normal University was particularly beautiful, with blue sky and white clouds.

The mood blooms like a flower.

So, what's the point of being a teacher? This is the answer.

In fact, when we were young, we could have the opportunity to accompany so many youthful lives and witness so many wonderful possibilities. Perhaps these possibilities will become more, faster and better because of our existence.

This is the happiness of teachers, the meaning of education and the value of life.

Accompany every youth and meet every beautiful self.

What can a husband ask for?

Some people say that being a teacher is a secret love, and you try your best to love others.

The result only touched myself.

Some people say that being a teacher is to love others and try to love others.

As a result, they will still leave.

Even so, there are still a group of people guarding the podium and blackboard.

Let the world be noisy and let the years get old.

Fly out of a young dream with your persistence and ordinary.
