When the new crown epidemic first broke out, academician Li Lanjuan's remarks caused heated discussions on the Internet. She said: After the epidemic, I hope the country can leave high salaries to those medical staff, scientific researchers, and military personnel who are struggling on the front line. I hope the country can pay more attention to it. Children's education issues, try to train them to be a scientist.
Under the entertainment economy, celebrities are getting money so fast that people can't help but compare the two and ask what is the value orientation of young people today?
When I watched "Blessed Hands: Dr. Ben Carson," I thought back to this controversy at the beginning of the year. How important is education and the guidance of values from an early age, where dripping water penetrates the stone.
When I was young, Ben was an ordinary black boy who didn't like to study, didn't have self-confidence, didn't have imagination, and was a little violent. Every day, I watch love soap operas with my brother before finishing my homework. At one point, these things made their mother very depressed, thinking that her child might become illiterate like herself. But there are some key points that this mother does very well.
Self-discipline brings confidence
When she was away for a few weeks to go to the hospital for psychotherapy, she asked the children to memorize the multiplication table. Of course, the children were full of resistance at first, but when the test scores came down, they did improve a little. Later, they found that it was still effective to learn and consolidate knowledge one step ahead of others. Just a few weeks later, the day when my mother came home, the small math test question was a perfect score.
Mom used to say: You can do what others can do, and you will do it better
Curiosity outlasts victories
When my mother went to think that the professor's house was cleaned, she was surprised that the books in the professor's house were piled as high as a mountain. She asked the professor if he had read all of these books, and the professor said that he had read most of them. When she came home again and saw the two boys who were addicted to soap operas, she was not angry. Except for choosing two programs every week, she would spend the rest of her time going to the library to read books.
A person's attention is easily distracted, unless you place him in an environment that cannot be rejected and jumped out, such as a library. Interestingly, the first book Xiaoben borrowed to read was the love story "Beauty and "Beast", but after acquiring this skill of predicting the future, he might as well read more books, his life has changed quietly, when he finds different things around him, he becomes curious and goes to books to find answers, such as chemistry class Knowing the name and reason of obsidian in advance, the chemistry teacher took him to look at another world under the microscope, which had a certain impact on his young mind.
So my mother always said: You don't need books, the knowledge is in your head
The first step is to learn to read books, the second step is to learn to use books as a tool to answer your own doubts, and the third step is to systematize the knowledge in the book and convert it into your own knowledge inventory, and this series of processes requires a quantitative change to a qualitative change time.
Curiosity is the result of self-directed learning, and the will to win or lose is the will generated by comparing with other objects. This is like emergency medicine. In the short-term, the effect is significant, but in the long-term, it is prone to side effects.
Stimulate children's imagination
Although my mother encouraged Xiaoben and his brother to be imaginative, Xiaoben always felt that he was very stupid and couldn't think of things he had never seen before, until a priest told a story vividly in the church, which made people feel very immersive. , Xiaoben imagined a scene of being rescued by the little blue mouse, which made him excited. This is also a very long-term subconscious that later inspired him to become an expert doctor in neurology.
In the process of interviewing a neurologist, he said this when he asked why he wanted to become a neurosurgeon. Most doctors have no faith. Our research reports, anatomy, everything is clear, but there are still There are many things we can't explain. I believe that everyone's brain can create miracles. We are all fortunate to have amazing talents and abilities. The brain is the source of inspiration and the way to achieve amazing achievements.
My mother often said: Xiaoben, you must be able to do it, you have a lot of ideas in your head, and you have to be able to see things beyond your eyes.
This sentence once again played an important role before the operation of craniocerebral separation for a German baby. How to prevent the baby from excessive blood loss during the operation became a prerequisite that must be solved, and then Benjamin looked at the tap. The idea was to stop the heart and revascularize within an hour of stopping, so that both babies could survive.
Excellent quality
When he was in elementary school, he had a glorious history of beating his classmates with locks. When he entered a middle school that no longer discriminates against blacks, he had a dispute with his mother because his friends laughed at his dirty clothes, and even picked up the table. The hammer on the top began to growl, and then he picked up the knife and stabbed the classmates in school. Fortunately, the other party was dead, and the knife was stabbed on the belt buckle and broke, otherwise Benjamin's entire life is estimated to have undergone a dramatic change.
It can be seen that this guy has a relatively large temper, and he was not very good at controlling his emotions when he was a child. Once when he lost control, his mother suggested that Benjamin should manage all the money he earned for a month, and he would pay the bills this month. The rest It can be owned by him, and then see if he still spends money indiscriminately.
When we were students, we all naively thought that as long as we read a good book, we were great, and we could have whatever we wanted, but how to make a living, how to communicate, and how to be a useful person. None of these we have considered, and this is really what we need to experience for most of our lives.
This movie is really about how to educate children. In that era when there was no Imax theater, no large playground, no all kinds of smart toys and complex and diverse cram schools, someone could still be a very talented person. The existence of value depends on tireless efforts.
