The difference between Teacher Li and Mrs. Li

When I was young, I heard my father, a teacher, tell a real story: He said that teacher Li, who was in the same teaching and research department, said that he ate potatoes in the vegetable cellar in winter, and went down to sort them out once a week, and every time there were rotten potatoes that he was reluctant to throw away, so he took them up and cut off the rotten places and ate the remaining parts that were not rotten. As a result, the next time you enter the vegetable cellar, there are rotten potatoes, take them up and eat them as usual. The third time, Teacher Li stopped drying, simply found that the potatoes had rotten parts, immediately threw them away, and ate a little potato that did not rot. Because Teacher Li said: "If you don't do this, you have to eat rotten potatoes all the time, and all potatoes will wait until they are rotten before eating." ”

Teacher Li also said that his mother also had a vegetable cellar at home, and the potatoes were rotten, but Mrs. Li was reluctant to throw them away and had been eating rotten potatoes.

The same thing, this is the way of thinking of teacher Li with knowledge, which is also the idea of the uncultured old lady Li. The ideas and practices are very different, a good potato that eats a lot of good potatoes that are not bad, although also throws away some bad potatoes. One eats rotten potatoes until it runs out of potatoes.

Many people in life think in a similar way to an old lady who eats rotten potatoes. Daily consumption is often reluctant, just like throwing away the part of rotten potatoes that are not bad, and never getting a complete good potato to eat in the mouth.

Leave the money behind and throw away the enjoyment. Many people live a life of putting the cart before the horse and sacrificing the last, but they are unaware of it, and even feel comfortable.
