Do you have an ideal?

Do you have an ideal?

“Do you have an ideal?” This is a question I asked recently about high school students in class. Originally, I think students will definitely give me a positive answer "Yes" without ambiguity. But to my surprise, only a few students have a positive answer. More students just smiled in a coping style, or gently nodded in a very uncertain tone. It is not difficult to see that for the students of the second year of high school, they have not seriously considered the ideals of the individual. Recall that when I was in high school in high school, I had a personal ideal. At that time, my ideal was very simple, that is, to be an English teacher. In order to realize this ideal, I will focus all my energy and financial resources on English learning. As a result, after unremitting efforts and difficult study, I finally got my wish. I graduated from the English Department of an education college in 1984 and officially became an English teacher. This shows how important it is to determine your own ideals early on. Having an ideal is tantamount to having a goal, and having a goal has the motivation to fight for it. Accompanied by the constant effort, the power and effort reached the ideal side.

The questions answered by the students seem to be very simple, the attitude is very dull, a bit careless, but there are reasons behind the simplicity. The biggest difference between today's high school students and their peers in the 1950s and 1970s is the large changes in family economic conditions and living standards. As a post-90s middle school student, they are lucky and happy. In their hearts, what matters is not the ideal problem, but the enjoyment of the problem. Due to the continuous improvement of family life and the increasing income, many students are not concerned about the ideal future, but the chic consumption, such as using advanced mobile phones, listening to MP3 or MP4, sitting on luxury cars, wearing famous brands, etc. . For a person who is in a state of pampering, ideals cannot be considered the first. Contrary to this, the children of the poor are determined early, and the poor are thinking. Professor Yi Zhongtian has a famous saying that "people are forced out", and this is implied. According to my observation, most high school students are beginning to have a sense of urgency when they are in the third year of high school. Only in the third year of high school will they consider personal ideals. Obviously, it is already too late. Even with crazy efforts to catch up, it is difficult to achieve their own ideals. Because there is no ideal, there is no motivation; because there is no motivation, it is not willing to work hard, and the result is imaginable.

As long as the middle school students establish ideal problems as early as possible, they must be highly valued by educators and parents. Without ideals, there is no direction. We often say. Direction is more important than effort. In fact, the direction is the embodiment of ideals, and the direction is an important guarantee for achieving ideals. Of course, as far as the ideal itself is concerned, there is a difference between micro ideals and giant ideals. As a responsible and far-sighted teacher or parent, it is necessary to guide students to establish the ideal of giants as early as possible, educate students to combine their personal ideals with the needs of the motherland, and let students have the vision of the motherland and the vision of the world. When personal interests and national interests are combined, personal problems are very small. Only those who have great ideals can make great achievements and do great things.

Students are the future of the motherland, and what we are looking for is an ideal new generation. We must have an ideal new generation to realize the ideal of the motherland's continued prosperity. To this end, we must put them in the ideal wings as soon as possible, so that they are always ready to fly to the vast blue sky of the motherland and even fly to the world.
