I remember when I was a child, my mother often said to me that I should think clearly about things and then do it, and I must have my own opinion. Now, our children, at school, are also very susceptible to the influence of other students, such as classmates said, what cards are very popular, he wants to buy and collect, ask him what is the point of doing so, he can not answer.
I always told him not to be influenced by others, but to have your own opinions. He tilted his head and asked, what is the opinion. It seems that for a moment, there is no simple word to explain what an opinion is.
I said, are you reading a book about a donkey in the desert, so let me tell you the story of a donkey on the street.
Father and son led their beloved donkey and went to the street together to catch the market. The weather is not hot, the father and son 2 people sweat, some people said, how the father and son are so stupid, there are donkeys do not ride. Father and son could not resist the sneers of the world, and the father rode on a donkey. After walking for a while, some people said that this father was too cruel, such a hot weather, let the son walk, ride a donkey by himself. The father could not stand the guidance of passers-by, so he let his son ride up and lead the donkey himself.
Wearing to another street, some people said that this son is not filial piety, such a hot weather, let the father lead the donkey, 2 people can not stand the chatter of passers-by, simply ride on the donkey together, thinking, this should be no one to say.
Who knows, there are more people watching, some shout, come and see, 2 people riding a donkey that can't speak, they only know how to bully the beast, worse than the beast. Father and son 2 people really can't stand the accusations of these people, can only come down, 2 people carry a donkey together, shopping do not dare to shop, gray slippery home.
After the children listened, they laughed, this is so stupid for father and son. I immediately asked him, why? They can't just listen to passers-by, they have to think for themselves, what is right to do, and they have their own ideas. Yes, I told him that the idea was the opinion.
The child asked me, what will happen without my opinion?
People who have no opinion will be swayed by others, live in the eyes of others, and die in the mouths of others.
In fact, many times, no matter how well others say it, it is not as important as their own ideas. Of course, having your own ideas is not a simple thing, you need to train more, the heart should be slow, the brain should be fast, and the hands should be diligent. Wise mind, essential cognition, sober judgment.
Read more books and take notes. Reading is a process that makes you become vast and allows you to increase your insights. Today you do not eat the suffering of study, tomorrow you will suffer the suffering of life. Learn a little more knowledge today, and tomorrow, just say a word of asking for someone or look at other people's faces. I have tasted the bitterness of life and know the sweetness of reading.
