Inspirational story: The past does not equal the future


Inspirational story: The past is not equal to the future <br /> In a small town on the outskirts of New Jersey, a class of 26 children is arranged in a dimly lit classroom inside the school building. All of them have had a disgraceful history; some have been poisoned, some have entered the correctional facility, and one girl has even had three births in a year. Parents have no way to take them, teachers and schools have almost given up on them.
At this time, a female teacher named Fira served as the tutor for this class. On the first day of the new school year, Fira did not reprimand the children like the previous teachers, giving them a horse, but a question for everyone:
There are three candidates, they are --
A: I believe in witch doctors, there are two mistresses, have a history of smoking for many years, and are addicted to alcohol;
B: I have been driven out of the office twice. I have to get up at noon every day. I drink about 1 liter of brandy every night, and I have had a record of smoking opium.
C: I used to be a fighting hero in the country. I have always kept vegetarian habits, loved art, and occasionally drank some wine. I never did anything illegal when I was young.
The problem Fira gives to children is:
If I tell you, one of these three people will become a great man who is admired by everyone. Who do you think will be? Guess what kind of fate will these three people have in the future?
For the first question, there is no doubt that the children have chosen C; for the second question, everyone's inferences are almost identical: the fate of A and B is definitely not good, either as a criminal or as a waste of social care. And C, it must be a noble person, destined to become an elite.
However, Fira's answer was shocking. "Children, your conclusions may be in line with the general judgment, but the fact is that you are all wrong. These three people are very familiar with each other. They are three famous people during World War II. A is Franklin Roosevelt. He is physically disabled. Zhijian, re-elected for four US presidents; B is Winston Churchill, the most famous prime minister in British history; C's name is familiar to everyone, he is called Adolf Hitler, a fascist who has claimed tens of millions of innocent lives. Heads of the heads." The students were stunned by Fira, who simply did not believe in their ears.
"Children," Fira continued. "Your life has just begun. The past faults and shame can only represent the past. What truly represents a person's life is what he does now and in the future.
Everyone is not perfect, even the great man is at fault. Come out from the shadows of the past, from now on, try to do what you want to do the most, and you will all become great talents..."
Fella’s remarks changed the fate of 26 children’s lives. Nowadays, these children have grown up, some of them have done psychologists, some have been judges, some have been pilots.
It is worth mentioning that Robert Harrison, the shortest and most intriguing student in the class, became the youngest fund manager on Wall Street.
"It turns out that we all feel that we are hopeless, because all people think so. It is the first time that Feira has awakened us: the past is not important, we still have the present and the future that we can grasp." Children grow up I will say this later.

One psychologist said something like this: How do you describe your child and how they grow up as you describe it. You said that he is a rogue, he will slowly become like a rogue; you say that he is smart, he may really become very smart.
Many adults are constantly killing their children with their own prejudice, but they don’t know it at all.
