Today's children are interested in talking about several celebrities who are not educated but have a successful career, which are used to gag their parents' painstaking mouths.
But the truth is:
Such people are only a few, and most of the children who do not like to learn, grow up to find that they have used a few years of crazy youth in exchange for a lifetime of humility and bottom.
Now some children talk about reading, talking about suffering, just like talking about the change of color of a tiger, avoiding it for fear of it.
A group of ignorant girls get together, so-called sisters, thinking that if they have sisters, they will have the whole world.
They talk about delicious food, clothes and cosmetics together, thinking about online shopping, browsing Wechat, browsing Weibo and chasing South Korean dramas.
And a group of idle boys gathered together, known as the so-called buddies, thinking that with buddies, there would be a world.
They play truant, smoke, play poker, play games, watch fantasy and even have fights together.
Think this is madness, this is the youth that should have.
They look down on those good students who can't wear makeup, can't dress up and only know how to read all day long.
Also called those good students are nerds, scolded them stupid, only know how to read.
Unexpectedly, two or three years later, good students go to a college, go to 211, go to 985, and even go to Tsinghua and Peking University, but they have to consider going to secondary universities, higher vocational colleges and even whether to go south to work.
There is a classic dialogue between father and son that tells us the difference between studying hard and not reading.
Soon after the son went to school, he asked the father of a farmer why he wanted to read.
My father said that if a small tree grows for a year, it can only be used as a fence or as firewood.
10-year-old trees can be used as purlins
20 years of trees will be of great use. They can be used as beams, pillars and furniture.
If a child does not go to school, he can feed sheep at the age of 7 and a large flock of sheep when he grows up, but he can do nothing but herd sheep.
If he graduates from primary school, he can use some new technology to cultivate land in the countryside. In the city, he can work on a construction site, as a security guard, or as a peddler. His primary school knowledge is sufficient.
If he graduates from junior high school, he can learn some mechanical operations.
If he graduates from high school, he can learn a lot of mechanical repairs.
If he graduates from college, he can design tall buildings and railway bridges.
If he graduated with a master's degree and doctor's degree, he might invent and create something we didn't have before.
Do you know?
The son said he knew.
The father asked again:
Herding sheep, farming, and being a security guard, is it shameful?
The son said it was humiliating.
Dad said:
Son, it's not embarrassing. They do not steal or rob, work to make money, and support their children and parents, which is not shameful at all.
It's not that you don't go to school, or if you go to school less, it's useless.
Like a small tree in a year, it is useful, but not as useful as a big tree.
It is also useful not to read books or to read less, but if they contribute less to society, they earn less money.
If you study more, you spend more money and time, but if you contribute more, you earn more money, and you have a high status.
The conversation left a deep impression on the son, and from then on, the son would make the best choice without intimidation or inducement in his study.
Jack Ma said in his speech "Why do you want youth if you don't bear hardships?"
When you don't fight for a scholarship, don't live a life you've never tried, hang out on QQ, browse Weibo, visit Taobao, play online games, and do what I can do at the age of 80, what do you want to be young for?
For those of you who are young and young, you choose to fall in love when you are most able to learn, and when you are most able to endure hardships, you choose to be at ease, you are young, but you are young, but you do not know that youth is fleeting and there is no time for youth.
What does it mean to bear hardships?
When you complain that you are already working very hard, please take a look at the poor children in the west. They do not have enough to eat, their clothes are not warm, their feet are cold and they are gnawing at their heads.
Please think of the teachers who get up early and work late every day for decades.
Please compare those migrant workers who are overstretched but still have not enough to eat, as well as your parents!
Is it hard to study in a classroom with air conditioning and hot water?
Is it hard to rest in an air-conditioned dorm room where you can take a hot bath?
Can you bear hardships when you have your parents reading with the prince and holding out your clothes and food?
The famous writer long Yingtai wrote in a letter to his son Andre:
I ask you to study hard, not because I want you to compare your achievements with others, but because I want you to have more choices in the future to choose meaningful and time-worthy jobs, rather than being forced to make a living.
Yes, if you are good, you will have plenty of choices, otherwise you will be forced to make a living.
Although reading can not bring us more wealth, but it can bring us more opportunities!
Some students may ask, is it too late for me to work hard?
My answer is:
Won't you stop learning when I say it's too late?
We should shift our focus from asking whether it is too late to study hard.
Sometimes the more you think, the more you can't do anything.
If you set your goal, calm down and do it, and there will always be results.
So for the next time, no matter the students in Grade one, Grade two or Grade three, don't ask if there is enough time or what foundation is all right.
These are secondary, the most important thing is that you should bear hardships and start to work hard from now on.
Liu Chuanzhi, 40, didn't ask if it was too late, and eventually he founded Lenovo Group.
Yu Minhong, who failed the college entrance examination three times, did not ask if he would come in time. He was finally admitted to Peking University and built the educational aircraft carrier New Oriental.
After two entrepreneurial failures, Jack Ma did not ask if it was too late, and finally he wrote an e-commerce legend and changed the world.
Son, if God is kind to you and gives you a superior life, please don't rein in your fighting spirit.
If God sets up obstacles to you in every way, please don't erase your confidence in yourself and the courage to fight.
When you want to give up, be sure to think of those who go to bed later than you, get up earlier than you, run harder than you, and are more talented than you. They have already run in the morning light to the distance you can only see.
Therefore, please do not choose comfort when you are most able to endure hardships, no one's youth walks on the red carpet.
Since you dream of becoming the self that others can't reach, you should choose your own way and make efforts that others can't reach.
Therefore, we can not choose to give up when it is time to read, but to cherish and work hard at the age of reading.
