(Zhang Manling).
You are a group of children who are coquettish in small things, but completely obedient in the big direction.
I was going to tell some stories about the Southwest Associated University, but when I saw you sitting here with confusion in your eyes, I suddenly didn't want to tell those stories. Because those stories won't solve your problems. You are far away from the students of Peking University and Southwest Associated University.
The students of Southwest Associated University have crossed the war and studied to save the country, and they are a generation of national spirit and self-awakening. And you, although you were admitted to Peking University, I don't think you are the pride of the sky.
It's not that you're really smarter and harder than your classmates. It is that you are more able than them to accept the repression, cooperate with the repression, cooperate with the school and family, teachers and parents who suppress you, and it is this obedience to the repression that makes you pass the examination machine, get high scores, and enter Peking University. I call it a "repressed victory".
Compared with those students who were not admitted to Peking University, you are less resistant, less naïve, less lively, less game, less love, less playful, less youthful, and less of many of the most valuable things besides scores.
I have observed that children with higher emotional intelligence resist this repression the most, and emotional intelligence actually determines success in life. This is why in recent years, there have been so-called suicides of elite students at prestigious schools such as Peking University. This is the reason why the road to Peking University has become the road of self-destruction. Because you will regard this kind of repression as a necessity for success, as a positive experience in life, and mistakenly think that by passively learning Xi and living, and increasing the repression of yourself, you can complete a successful life. This is a big fallacy.
This fallacy must stop!
A man named Campbell once said, "The worst life is a life without choice." "That's how you came from that. More often than not, you don't dare to say "no", let alone "I want to".
You have no personality because you have not chosen and experienced real adventures in your life. After graduating from high school, Lee Tsung-do encountered the Japanese invasion. He trekked alone from the occupied area to Yunnan in search of his mentor. In a suburb of Kunming called Gangtou Village, he knocked on the door of a farmer's house. His future mentor, Wu Dayou, was taking care of his sick wife inside.
At that time, Lee Tsung-dao solved one physics problem after another for Wu Dayou, which surprised Wu Dayou again and again, and finally shook and ecstatic. Since then, Lee Tsung-dao has been carefully cultivated by Mr. Wu and the famous teachers of Southwest Associated University. At that time, Lee Tsung-dao was at your age. Can you do it?
You are responsible for yourselves. How can I be accountable to myself?I have a few suggestions for you.
The first is to develop your own penetration. To penetrate is to choose oneself from a limited position, stand on a height, and travel to a distant place.
There was once a young man named Yang Zhenning who was the same age as you, and during a Japanese bombing of Kunming, Yang Zhenning and his family were hiding from the alarm when they saw a bomb fall in the middle of the courtyard where they lived. Yang Zhenning immediately found a hoe to excavate, because many daily necessities in the family were buried inside. He also dug out a stack of books, at this time several famous teachers of the Southwest Associated University walked by, saw that after a crazy bombing, there was such a young man still digging books, and immediately praised that this child must have a great future.
This is the penetrating power, which can see through the fog of reality and see the ideal and the future. The next step is to find the right direction and personality, including working with mentors, choosing topics, and matching with careers and careers to complete a unique life.
In addition, remember that the independent personality is free to think, which is the norm of culture and science, as well as the norm of life. You have to doubt, you have to explore, you have to be unique. There can be no true creation without a free soul.
Journaling is a great way to develop self-awareness. Even if you write about your crush, you can summarize your inner experience and observe your own growth. You have a sense of respect for yourself. So far, I haven't heard one of you stand up and say, "Teacher, I'm not convinced by what you said, I think I'm excellent, I'm the future elite." "It means that you are really confused. I hope what I have said today will touch your hearts.
