The so-called growth is that "I" is getting smaller and less importantCompassion, gratitude, altruismGrowing.
Personally, I think,The most important problem we want to help our children solve is motivation. Life is a marathon, it doesn't matter if you start, some people run fast in front of them, sprint at the start, but they can't run in the back, and they are easily surpassed by others. What's even more terrifying is that some people still have the strength to run, but they don't run, they lose motivation, lose fun, and fall into confusion and nothingness.
Limited thinking sees danger, infinite thinking sees opportunity; Limited thinking creates opponents, and unlimited thinking develops friends; Finite thinking is a zero-sum game, and infinite thinking is a win-win situation; Finite thinking is a mountain that cannot tolerate two tigers, and infinite thinking is the coexistence of communion. Transition from finite to infinite thinking and you enter a new world that is incredibly vast. I've always thought thatSchool is a place where people are madeIt is necessary not only to achieve students, but also to achieve teachers and middle-level cadres. 
Today, when we are faced with a big challenge, the right attitude should be:Establish a firm belief firstI believe that the goal will be achieved, and there are always more ways than difficulties; When formulating the implementation plan, you should use your heart and brainTake advantage of the situation and do your best; WhileThe original intention behind all target methods is altruismWe should always think about why others help us and what benefits we do to others. If you do these three things, you will be a master of execution. Education should be about making lives better. Whether what we do is a drop in the ocean, a flash in the pan, or "blowing all the wild sand to gold", history will give the answer. History will surely choose the good. When we are carried forward by the torrent of history, we might as well think about our original intention and mission. The original intention is the mission, and the mission is also the original intention. As Dickinson said, "We don't grow old year after year, but we are renewed day after day." ”
Man is always limited by the model he has built, holding a hammer in his hand and looking at everything like a nail. Growth, on the other hand, is to overturn some of the models you once adhered to, so that you can look at problems with a broader pattern and a broader comprehensive vision. 
In personal matters, I amRealistic idealists；In the act of duty, I amThere are idealistic realists。I tried to synthesize these two characters. Parents need to remember that they are part of their child's story and that we need to play our part. One of the important tasks of this role is to see the structure of children's future life growth - who they are, what they like, what they are good at, what they should do, and what they belong to. And then, as the American ** Jerome Salinger put it:"Remember what should be remembered, forget what should be forgotten. Change what can be changed, accept what can't be changed. ”School administrators need to keep learning Xi thinking and improve their cognitive abilities. You can't use the busyness of your body to cover up the calmness of your mind. Only when cognition is upgraded can competitiveness be improved.
In management, we have the word leadership, but we don't have the word management. A leader's vision needs to be more forward, upward, and outward, rather than backward, downward, and inwardGood leadership is not about managing and managing, but about motivating and empowering.
