Zhuangzi: What is useless is useful.

"Mountain wood from coach also, paste fire from frying also. Guangxi is edible, so cut it; Paint can be used, so cut it. Everyone knows the useful use, but they don't know the useless use. "

Because the trees in the mountains are not good, they can be preserved and grow into towering trees. It can be seen that useless use can sometimes become useful. Zhuangzi used fables and metaphors to reason. On the surface, he is talking about trees, but in fact, he is talking about the philosophy of life and his own life.

Zhuangzi was poor all his life and should not be used by Chu Weiwang. He only worked as a paint garden official all his life, and even went to slums to make a living by weaving straw sandals, and borrowed rice from others because of lack of food. I have been down and out all my life.

It's futile to look at Zhuangzi from a secular perspective. He is useless. But if we look at Zhuangzi with a Taoist heart, he is a really useful wise man. His "useless use is great use" not only allows him to live in the outside world and gain spiritual freedom, but also gives us unlimited spiritual enlightenment in today's impetuous society.

Since childhood, people have told us what is "useful" and what is "useless". For example, reading "prose books" is useless, because there is no exam, drawing is useless, because "there is no food", reading liberal arts is useless, "it is not easy to find a job in the future" and so on. ......

0 1 Not as good as plastic surgery, and the college entrance examination is not as good as online celebrities.

A few days ago, I had a whim to learn to play the guitar, so I went to the nearby musical instrument training center for consultation. The conversation between a father and a staff member clearly reached my ears.

My father took his daughter to an interest class. The staff asked him what class he wanted to sign up for. My dad said, I don't know anything, but the piano is definitely not good. It's too ordinary and too heavy. It is best to have a small musical instrument that can be played for others anytime and anywhere, so that children can show their talents anytime and anywhere, and have the opportunity to become the star of the school and be discovered.

The staff agreed, yes, yes, a child should cultivate her self-expression ability from an early age, and she has a better chance of becoming a star in the future, but does this child particularly like it? Or can you learn the guitar? Recently, many parents, like you, want their children to learn a course that can show their talents.

My dad thought about it and said that the guitar is ok, but it's still a little big. I'm afraid the child can't carry it. I wonder if the violin will do. The child is too young to know what he likes. I have discussed it with her mother. Anyway, our family doesn't have the gene of this scientist, and it's useless to learn. It is better to cultivate her into a star from an early age and have a good development in the future.

The staff echoed, yes, yes, you are really considerate of the children. If parents are as wise as you, your children will be too happy. You can choose the violin. Girls play the violin most elegantly and can show it at any time. Then choose this class. ......

The father took his daughter to pay the fee. At first, the little girl was at a loss. Later, when she heard that she could be a star in the future, she began to have a star. The beautiful ponytail also danced happily with her jumping body.

Seeing the happy back of my father and daughter, I feel a little lonely. I always feel something in my throat. Since when do people think learning is useless? Reading is better than being a star.

Reminiscent of the hot search some time ago, "YCY settled in Shanghai, which made me feel like a joke!" "Ding Zhen's education in YCY is not high, and he is a special talent when he enters a state-owned enterprise." "Reading is not as good as plastic surgery, and the college entrance examination is not as good as online celebrities." Is reading really useless?

In the era of online celebrities, should we advocate training children into online celebrities too early?

Some netizens broke the news before. Alalei, she became popular because she was on Where is Dad? Being regarded as a money-making machine by parents, regardless of whether their small body can bear it, they take their children to shuttle between various announcements every day.

Later, Niu Niu in Tong Mo Town felt tired and didn't want to take a photo with her mother, so she kicked her child's ass directly. She scared Niu Niu's little hand to pick up the flower basket and continue to operate. Her expression was lovely and sad.

Maybe not every mother, like Niu Niu, forced her children to appear in the camera regardless of their wishes, but I believe there are not a few parents who received the signal that their children refused to cooperate with photos or videos and lured their children to cooperate in various ways.

In the era of short video, it seems that children's innocence and cuteness are easier to get out of the circle than adults' posturing, and it is easier to get a lot of traffic attention, so we can often brush a lot of traffic videos or live broadcast rooms that are mainly children. As a result, more and more parents appear in front of the camera with really cute babies. In this great era of online celebrities, should we advocate training children to become online celebrities too early?

03 Yuan Longping died: I hope he sowed the seeds of knowledge, not just food!

When I got home, my husband and I talked about this topic. He didn't make any comments, but opened a column of "Great Powers and Heavy Weapons" to read with me. This documentary is really shocking, which makes every audience feel the miracle of "ingenious equipment" and subverts the stereotype of low-end, cheap and inferior equipment manufacturing in China. It shows the arduous and brilliant development course of China equipment manufacturing industry from scratch, from weak to strong, from learning to innovation, from catching up to surpassing.

These are all knowledge given to this era. Only when each generation has lofty aspirations and dreams, studies hard, constantly breaks foreign monopolies, realizes the industrial transformation of high-end intelligent information, has a far-sighted vision, dares to break through and dare to challenge, can China realize its dream of becoming a powerful country in equipment manufacturing, change the lives of China people and take the initiative in world competition.

In 1960s and 1970s, Yuan Longping sowed the seeds of change, so that China no longer faced the threat of hunger. These seeds, also regarded as the symbol of China's national strength, are moving towards modernization and spreading to the world.

Yuan Longping's growth period coincided with the turbulent years before the founding of the Republic of China. Because of his father's work, the family often travels around the motherland, so they named their five sons after the city where they settled. Born in Beiping, his name is Longping. Mother quit her job and concentrated on taking care of her children at home. She graduated from a missionary school and her English is very good. She has taught Yuan Longping famous Chinese and foreign works and English since she was a child. In Yuan Longping's self-report, this is an important reason why his English level is ahead of his peers.

1in may, 939, the family just moved to Chongqing, the capital, and experienced the tragic "may 354 bombing". Two days of Japanese air strikes caused thousands of casualties and nearly 200,000 people were displaced. Yuan Longping witnessed the bodies of compatriots all over the world, and after many years, he was "nervous at the thought", from which he understood the truth of "the law of the jungle" between countries.

Even so, parents have never relaxed their education for their children. The first thing to do when you go to a city is to find a school for your children. Even though Yuan Longping loves violin, swimming and fitness, he still devotes himself to the research of hybrid rice to solve the problem of people not having enough to eat.

"He is the most famous neuropathy in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences!" An educated youth who went to Yuan Longping in the 1970s once said in an interview with the media that Yuan Longping was unknown and was not understood. "Everyone says that he, you don't do things handed down from your ancestors, but specialize in such strange things."

Don Paarlberg, an American agronomist who served as an adviser to the President of the United States, commented in his book Towards a World with Plenty of Food: "Yuan Longping has won valuable time for China. His increased grain output has greatly reduced the population growth rate, and his achievements in agricultural science have overcome the threat of hunger. "

Over the years, Yuan Longping has always stressed that he has two dreams.

First of all, I dreamed that the stems of hybrid rice were as tall as sorghum, the ears were as big as brooms, and the seeds were as big as peanuts. My assistant and I walked in the rice field, enjoying the coolness under the ears of rice. "

The other is to "cover the global dream", so that super rice can go abroad and benefit more people, just as he wished in the inscription of Anjiang Agricultural School: "May everyone in the world have enough to eat."

This is the real hero.

This is the real national backbone.

Pay tribute to Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice!

Zhuangzi said, useless, have great use! I hope Grandpa Yuan Longping sowed the seeds of knowledge, not just food.

Only by planting a correct outlook on life in children's hearts and enhancing their sense of social responsibility can they achieve their big future and big dreams! ! !
