Special Issue My Educational Feelings

Time flies and the years fly by. I have been working in education for more than three years. In the process, I have met many parents, students and outstanding young teachers (I call them "Qingzhu people"). Poor parents in the world, every parent is full of hope, even high hopes and expectations for their children. Each child has its own characteristics. They are all independent individuals. Because they are independent individuals, they need to be taught in accordance with their aptitude. Be kind and patient in guiding.

My feelings about education come from a TV series "The Boy Who Meets Me", a sentence in a book "Mencius" and two people (New Oriental Executive Chairman Yu Minhong and a man on the train from Guiyang to Shanghai) a train conductor).

In "The Boy Who Came Together", Principal Face Zhaoshou Kong said: "Chaos can bring peace to the world by resorting to martial arts, and governance can lead to cultivating people's hearts. Looking at today's situation, I think the most important thing is to promote education. I am Chinese It has been weak for hundreds of years because the people have not yet developed their wisdom. Only by vigorously developing education can we eradicate the ignorance and backwardness of the entire nation. If everyone can govern themselves, the society will be good. With reform, talents will flourish. Once talents emerge, the country will expand. From this, in today's China, there is nothing more important than education. If we want to save the country and strengthen our country, what method can be better than education? "Study education, and I will succeed in the future. I will use what I have learned to enlighten the people's wisdom and do my best for the revitalization of the nation. Isn't this the best way for you to apply it in the world?" How wonderful. This grand discussion aroused my ambition to educate and serve the country.

There is also Chairman Mao’s mentor Yang Changji, Mr. Itakura: "Autistic people are said to be ancient, and they want to plant big wooden pillars to grow into the sky." Mr. Itakura also said: "Yang had no intention of becoming an official in his life, and he had no intention of becoming an official. The desire to get rich quietly escapes the world, and I wish to find one or two talented people among you. I wish to be able to build up a sky of self-reliance and strength for me, which has been weak for hundreds of years. That’s it.” This lecture strengthened my determination to engage in education.

Mencius said in the book "Mencius": "A gentleman has three kinds of happiness, and the king of the world does not share them. Parents exist, brothers have no reason, and there is only one happiness. Look up to heaven, and bow down to others. , The second happiness is to obtain the world's talents and educate them, the third happiness is also The world is not among them. Parents are here, brothers and sisters are safe, this is a kind of happiness; not being ashamed of heaven and not being ashamed of others, this is the second kind of happiness; getting outstanding talents from the world and educating them is this. It is the third kind of happiness. A gentleman has these three kinds of happiness, but being the king of the world is not one of them.”

From this, I feel that education makes me happy, and this is the most important thing for us educators. Something to be proud of! Isn’t life supposed to be about finding something you like and taking root in it to achieve results?

The winter of 2014 is my first winter vacation in college. During this winter vacation, I am going to start to achieve a goal I set before going to college: read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and travel all over the world. The most developed cities in the east, west, north and south of the motherland. I am very happy that all the goals I set were achieved as scheduled when I graduated from college. Of course, this is a story for another day.

First stop: I chose Shanghai, the Pearl of the Orient. Of course, this trip did not cost my parents money. The money came from various grants and scholarships I received in my first year of college. Also, this trip was not for traveling and fun, but to prepare for living expenses for the next semester. There is a plan to have an intimate "kiss" with society in a real sense.

So when the bell rang for the last class of the first semester of college, I rushed back to the dormitory excitedly, full of expectations and anxiety, picked up my packed luggage and set off straight away. A trip to a first-tier developed city fills me with curiosity and expectation, as well as anxiety and uneasiness about the unknown. Being with books when I go out and reading on the train is also a kind of enjoyment. It is precisely because of this enjoyment that I have the opportunity Get to know the conductor of this train. He is a relatively kind old man, you can say he is an old man. I vaguely remember him saying that he will retire in three years.

He should have been retired for a few years now. Think about it, he should have lived a life full of children and grandchildren, enjoying the happiness of a family at home.

The job of a train conductor is actually very hard. He is with the train all day long and provides good service to thousands of passengers. The pressure can be imagined, but there is no sense of boredom in him. On the contrary, he enjoys it. It feels like there is no such unpleasant emotion at all.

The deepest impression the old man left on me was his good calligraphy. There was a manuscript written by an old man before. I got it back when I moved after graduating from college. Now I don’t know where I put it. The old man asked about my school and knew it was a normal school, so he wrote me a letter about it. The entrustment of the people’s teachers.

The moment I received the letter, I felt a heavy responsibility. Later, this letter accompanied me through four lush years of college. As the old man told me, I have embarked on the path of education, but there are still many shortcomings that still need to be continuously improved, and I need to polish my abilities and heart through discussion and discussion.

Mr. Yu Minhong, the executive chairman of New Oriental, made me see another possibility of education. Education is also a great cause that can help one's life and promote oneself and others. Today, good education can also achieve financial freedom and material abundance. This completely dispelled my worries, because my ideal is: to become the best entrepreneur in China! ! !

I was originally worried that education was destined to be associated with poverty and elegance. Teacher Yu changed my view with practical actions. I can still become an excellent entrepreneur by doing a good job in education. So my education career started. Even though I was very nervous at the beginning, I still started. After I was actually on the road, I found that I was very curious, excited, and stimulating. I was not afraid of everyone laughing at me for being hopeless at the time. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night long because I wanted to do such a thing. I tossed and turned, thinking about every detail of the implementation plan, and actively took action. At two or three in the morning, I was still waiting in the waiting hall of the train station for the bus back to school.

In order to find a suitable place to open a school, my partner and I ran back and forth several times. We were very tired but didn’t feel anything. This is the feeling of working tirelessly on one thing. Extremely excited, extremely unforgettable, extremely touching. This is the kind of thing that Teacher Yu once said in a speech, "When I recall it one day, my eyes will burst into tears." This experience of bold attempts has made me embark on the path of education or, in today's fashionable terms, entrepreneurship. The road has gone further and further, and it has been more than 3 years now. Although I have not been as successful as Teacher Yu in turning the education business into a listed company, I have gained a lot along the way and have a lot of feelings. In this process, I came into contact with many people (mainly parents and students, but also many outstanding young teachers) and many things. These people make me full of touch and gratitude, and these things allow me to continue to experience and grow.

I have been working in education for many years, and I have deep feelings and thoughts about education. However, what I say to students the most is this sentence: "All education, in the final analysis, is self-education." ; All learning, in the final analysis, is self-learning; all growth and experience, in the final analysis, are one's own; loneliness and loneliness belong to oneself, while carnival and victory belong to everyone. ”

Some students may understand, some may not. But this is the fact. The road to growth is destined to be accompanied by loneliness. Even every outstanding person must have a period of loneliness and silence. Those days are days when a lot of hard work has been done but no results were obtained. We call them taking root. . No one will come out on the snow for you, you have to see the scenery you like by yourself.

Therefore, you must learn to be independent and rely on yourself along the way. This is a required course for everyone. Learn to get along with yourself, reconcile with yourself, and finally reconcile with the people around you, reconcile with your work, reconcile with nature, and reconcile with all things. This is how you succeed.

Students, if you want to become a towering tree, the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, followed by now. No matter how you are living now, as long as you are willing to take action, everything is still possible.

There is no wound that cannot be healed, and there is no sinking that cannot be ended. Everything lost will come back in another way. There is no victory at all. Holding on means everything.

In the days to come, I hope you will not waste your time, calm down, be down-to-earth, and live your own poetic and unrestrained life. If you are not destined to win by lying down, then stand up and run.
