Advice 24: The knowledge of books is limited, but the great books of life are infinite
With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, the knowledge of today's era is vast. But after all, the experience of predecessors only represents past achievements, and this knowledge is limited. The space in which we can learn and explore in life is limitless. Every aspect of the surrounding living environment has something for us to learn, and a person's life experience is the most valuable spiritual wealth in his life. While we learn the knowledge of books, we must also learn to read the big book of life!
Human exploration and change of the world is endless. Always maintain the desire to learn, with endless enthusiasm to struggle, will write their own wonderful life.
Life is the best textbook
In life, the situations encountered are different. It is like the seed of a big tree, blown into different places with the wind. No matter how we start, as long as we try to create wealth with our own hands, we will also embark on the road to success. Life is the best textbook, and after experiencing various things, we gradually learn a lot from this "textbook".
We all want to live in a family with a high starting point, because good family conditions will be more conducive to our growth, which is like holding a good card in our hands when playing cards, compared with others, with an innate advantage. But this good card doesn't necessarily guarantee that we'll win in the end. Vice versa, if the cards in our hands are not ideal, we will not necessarily lose, judge the situation, deal with it carefully, and may eventually win a big victory. What's more, the bad cards in the hand make you more careful and have more chances of winning.
In the same way, if your life has a low starting point and the environment is not good, don't be discouraged. Since ancient times, this truth has been proved by countless facts. A low-starting life gives us suffering, which is also a wealth that others cannot appreciate.
At the beginning of life, we may not be able to choose, but the road of life needs to be walked by ourselves. Whether to take a path of struggle or a path of self-willed depravity, the initiative is completely in your own hands, and it is up to you to decide. It can be seen that life is also a set of textbooks, which allows us to learn a lot from it. Knowledge is important, but the experience of life is more important, it plays an important role in the exercise of a person's character and the cultivation of good habits.
There is a lot of knowledge in social life that is not in textbooks
There are a lot of people who are successful because they are good at learning. In fact, most of those who have achieved great achievements like to observe life, have a keen heart, and are good at learning all kinds of knowledge from life, thus achieving their careers.
With the rapid development of society, the school is gradually no longer an independent entity, but more and more extensive with the society has a variety of internal relations, students sooner or later to go to the society, face all the problems in the society. Then how to learn from life is very necessary.
In fact, the concept of "taking society as the classroom and life as the textbook" is now established by students to explore various knowledge in life and understand the conditions of social life. Students not only need to constantly pay attention to modern society and modern technology linking modern life, but also learn to get out of the prison of "not hearing things out of the window with both ears and reading only the holy idle books", and make full use of and tap unique social resources.
If students want to learn more social knowledge, they must often go out of the classroom in their spare time, go out of school, enter the society, integrate and participate in the experience of a broad social life, obtain fresh "nutrition" from it, broaden their horizons, accept some ideas and information in social life, and learn to cultivate their innovative spirit and practical ability, and promote the comprehensive development of multi-faceted emotional attitudes and values.
Albert Einstein, the great physicist of history, was born a little sluggish, and his teachers often criticized him for being too stupid. Einstein, however, had its own distinctive strengths. That is, he has been good at thinking since he was a child and actively exploring various problems encountered in life. No matter what unusual things he encounters, he will actively seek answers until he understands them.
When Einstein was four years old, his father gave him a compass as a toy. He took the compass and began to shake, and after observing, he came to the conclusion that no matter how he shook, as soon as he stopped moving, the pointer would soon return to its original place. And the direction of the pointer is always pointing to the north, that is, use the finger to dial, change its direction, as long as you let go of the hand, it will return to the original place. This phenomenon aroused his curiosity. A strong desire to learn had opened his heart, and from then on, he began to work hard to learn all kinds of knowledge.
When Einstein was 16 years old, the question arose in his mind, "If a human races with a beam of light at the same speed as a ray of light, what will he see in his eyes?" When he asked others about this question, he was ridiculed, including the teacher, who also thought he was nonsense. But Einstein never gave up studying this issue. In fact, the question itself contains the rudiments of relativity.
"Time, space, the problems that others think have long been understood, but I have not been able to figure it out, so I drill deeper than others." This sentence shows that Einstein always maintained a desire for knowledge, so he made great achievements in the study of relativity.
The spirit of exploration, curiosity and curiosity, Einstein's excellent qualities are all exercised through the study of various knowledge in life. If you rely solely on textbooks, it is difficult to cultivate this quality.
There is a lot of knowledge we need to learn in life, learning the sea is endless, only hard work can reach the other side of victory. In the face of the vast sea of life knowledge, we must always maintain the enthusiasm for learning, but also develop a good habit of diligent thinking, so as to learn useful knowledge from the big book of life.
Learn from society
In 1907 , Alphonse Lavren of France was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. Many people may think that he must have received a good education when he was a child, but in fact, the opposite is true, when he was a child, his family was very poor, and his parents could not afford to support him to go to school. In order to live, he studied while working in the laboratory of medical school to earn money to make ends meet. Despite the harsh environment, he still did not give up his dream, often quietly standing aside to take notes while doctors were discussing medical cases, and wrote down some medical knowledge. Accumulated year after year, he finally qualified to become a special admission student in the medical school, laying a good foundation for his future studies.
Lavren's story shows that as long as you have a heart, you can learn from yourself in society. Society is essentially another form of university.
When James Dewey Watson was young, he suddenly disappeared for no reason, causing his parents to find it for a while. Finally, it was found that he was learning what a hen looked like
。 All the people laughed. However, his parents praised his spirit of carefully observing nature and liking to think deeply. After receiving recognition from his parents, Watson jr. later put this studious spirit into research, and finally became an expert in genetics, and won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1962.
A person who likes to be close to nature and is full of curiosity about his surroundings is bound to develop a thirst for knowledge, and it is these factors that provide the driving force for his learning in society and play a driving role.
In the fall of 1851, 7-year-old Robert Koch followed his mother to a priest's funeral. Everyone mourned the death of the terminally ill with tears, which left a deep impression on Koch.
He secretly made up his mind that when he grew up, he must become a doctor to treat this terminal illness and save the lives of those patients.
More than a decade later, the great German medical scientist and the famous Robert Koch won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine with great achievements in infectious diseases.
From the above stories, we can see that there are many insights in the real society that cannot be learned in textbooks, and society is a broader classroom, and its touch will be more profound.
A person's success encompasses many factors, not just because of the accumulation of knowledge in the books they have learned. It is not enough to conduct scientific research based on only what is learned in the classroom. The achievement of those major achievements is often related to people's own personality factors, the social environment at that time and other factors, and these are closely related to the imprint of social life on us.
Learning is not simply memorizing what's in a book. The qualities of exploration, curiosity, and curiosity are all tempered and cultivated through what you experience in real life. Society is a vast book, and we need to spend a lifetime of energy to understand and learn about it.
Nobel Teacher Training:
We want books to live, not books to die; books to be real, not books to be fake; books to move, books not to be still; books to be used, books to be read. In general, we should be guided by life-centered teaching, not text-centered textbooks (Greek Nobel Prize for Literature writer Sepfiris).
