A good education is to give good seeds a chance to blossom and bear fruit

Good seeds will always take root and sprout at the right time, and good education is to give good seeds a chance to blossom and bear fruit.

The film is based on a true story. The original protagonist of the story passed away in 2010, but the ideas conveyed by the film will live on forever.

Many people like to watch miraculous stories, counterattacks, and full-fledged plots, but reality flows slowly bit by bit, and there is no miracle that suddenly changes. The turning point is too big, most people can't bear it, and they are likely to go crazy like Fan Jinzhongju.

But in the trivialities of firewood, rice, oil and salt, miracles still happen. Miracles are by no means a single-handed effort. There must be two or more cooperation.

This movie has expressed a lot of things in more than an hour, and there are many things that have not been expressed. Only after experiencing the washing of life can we understand it.

Living as a minority group, being habitually discriminated against, and being disapproved by almost everyone, including my own father, it is not easy to work hard with hope in this environment. How difficult it is to believe in a person~ The appearance of this teacher really gave the children a light, and their trust is also fragile, after all, they have never encountered such a teacher~ They are trying to trust, I tried to push him away, and found that he persisted again and again, so I subconsciously really trusted him.

Trust requires a process.

Those who bear this trust need to pay a lot, not only enthusiasm, not only love for the job, but also perseverance when many people do not understand or support it. Although the wife and children in the film are not so supportive, at least there are not too many obstacles, and their financial burden is not so great. The current situation in China is that many teachers are facing economic pressure. The Ministry of Education does not allow teachers to start small classes to make money. There are still teachers who secretly teach classes. They cannot live a decent life in this society and support their families.

Time background, in 1982, many high schools in the United States had computer courses. Think about what we were like in 1982? I remember taking a computer class in the sixth grade of elementary school, which basically consisted of playing a card game minesweeper...that year was 2002.

The longer they work, the more valuable they find education. This is why many parents try to give their children the best education, because they have suffered from insufficient education. They hope that their children can win at the starting line and live better than themselves.

A certain news interviewed a certain student in Beijing before. He expressed that it is difficult for a poor family to have a noble child again, saying that there is a gap between what he has learned and those children with poor family conditions. Indeed, it is the harsh reality. But if there are people like film teachers and there are more teachers, then the gap will be weakened, even if it is only a few more people.

There are too few teachers like that in the film, but please believe that there must be a teacher in the three-way trip. As long as you want to change your destiny, learn more knowledge, and absorb it like a sponge, you will create opportunities for yourself. Such words are very empty, but looking back at my journey and my past, I am convinced that as long as there is still a chance, I will try again, and the reality tells me that it is only good for me to try more. Sometimes I really don't have a chance, and sometimes I get what I want and even more than I imagined. At this time, I am pleasantly surprised.

Let me give a few examples.

There was a time when the company purchased things, and I went door-to-door with my colleagues in the market, asking about prices and looking at materials. I almost shopped around, but I didn't find the ideal one, so I decided to settle for the next best thing. I just saw that there was another one in the corner, and my colleague felt that it was unnecessary, so I went directly to the previous one and ordered it. I said, "It's okay, I'll go ask, anyway, it's just a few words and a few steps."

As a result, that company happened to have leftover goods from a large number of previous projects, because they didn't want to deal with them much, and their small goods were just enough for our company. So in the end we got something cheap and good~

Another time, the company leader gave me performance indicators with an attitude of trying. I have never done it before. I only have the attitude of trying. The leader was already very satisfied, but I was not reconciled, thinking that it was not past twelve o'clock, and I could try to sprint again.

In the end, I really did a few more achievements before twelve o'clock.

I don't know when I learned this belief. The first memory is related to the high school Chinese teacher saying to me: Why do you think so much? Work hard and take the test for one more point.

At that time, a few months before the college entrance examination, I was suffering because my family did not agree with me to take the garden-related major that I liked.

I complained a lot to the teacher, and the teacher said that sentence very easily, and that sentence was engraved in my heart. Since then, I have gritted my teeth silently, thinking that one extra point in the test is one point, and I will persuade my family when I pass the test.

In the end of the college entrance examination, I was lucky. I got 130 points in both Chinese and mathematics. I am so happy and proud. I have never been so good in the test~ I feel like I have stepped on shit luck. The language teacher said: Your last stage is the most calm, and you have been insisting on automatically handing in one more composition to me.

Yes, I set weekly tasks, step by step, bit by bit. I also don't want to be good, I just want to do all the knowledge points I have right. Because of the carelessness in the previous exam, many basic questions lost points~

Although things backfired later, I still didn't convince my family, I didn't read the major I liked, and chose the major they agreed with...

However I didn't give up.

I was confused and struggling in college, and when I reached the third year, I decided on the direction and studied psychology~

The family still has no support.

After graduation, to work, choose a job to support yourself first, study psychology after work, and use the money you earn to learn what you want to learn, even if your family doesn’t support it~

Later, I slowly went around to a company related to psychological counseling, studying while working, and now I can be regarded as a qualified psychological counselor~

Fortunately, I didn't give up on myself.

If you have the opportunity to see this, I hope you can say to yourself: Fortunately, I did not give up on myself!
