Yu Minhong's motivational speech: the benefits of concentration

Yu Minhong's motivational speech: the benefits of concentration

The time we have in our lifetime is not unlimited. The things we can do are not unlimited. Therefore, while constantly exploring the world, expanding our horizons, reading books, and extensively hunting, we can let ourselves concentrate and read a few books and single-mindedly. Learning a profession, single-mindedly making a career, and loving one person with one heart and one mind is not a very happy thing.
When Shangguo Xiaohe Middle School, the textbooks were so thin, and any other books were almost forbidden. The library could not borrow, and the bookstore could not buy them. Therefore, the textbooks could only be read and read, and the newspapers should be seriously The book covers the book, the pages inside are turned over, and the book cover is still like the new one; since there are no other books to read, the texts in the language documents are back and forth over and over again, from "Little Heroes Rain", Back to "Who is the most lovely person", and back to "AQ True Biography"; until now, every text is still like inscribed in the heart. Looking back now, most of the texts that have been passed are articles that adapt to the political situation. It seems to be white-backed. If the best chapters of Chinese culture were compiled into textbooks, they will still be used today and will benefit endlessly. . So I can't help but think of two things. First, I don't know what texts are being compiled in the current textbooks. If the current students can recite these texts like the original ones that were useless, can they be used for life; The two things are that in ancient times, students only had to recite four books and five classics from an early age. They must be meticulously cooked. Even though they are narrow-minded, all those who have passed through can be quoted in the classics for a lifetime, and they have been exported into chapters. They have also made many great figures like Su Dongpo and Wang Anshi. Of course, in addition to Chinese, current students also need to study mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, English and other disciplines, and they must learn. If they don’t learn, they will fall behind the times. As a result, the knowledge is much broader than the ancients, but from the practice of perfection. For lifelong use, most of the students are studying for the exam, and they forget it when the exam is over. Learning is no longer for the benefit of life. After finishing the exam threshold, the knowledge you have learned can be thrown away like a stepping stone.
After entering the university, I never realized the joy of a text that was slowly backed up when I was a child. In the university, I found that the students are studying and reading books like a 100-meter sprint. I read one book after another. It’s not more than anyone who has studied it, but the number of books, as long as the title, author and content can be summarized. Write it down and be able to go back to the dormitory to brag about victory. As a result, many books have been read at the university, and almost no important ideas in the book can be cited. Now I want to come. If the university is not so vain to catch up with the number of students studying, but to study a few books in a down-to-earth manner, the depth of the realm of learning and the depth of thought may be different now. Lincoln seems to have a lifelong bedside book for the Bible and Shakespeare. He doesn't read other books. As a result, his mind is equally great and broad. Of course, I don't mean that you only have to read a few books in your life, but you should really read it while you are studying extensively. Intensive reading of a few books, even memorizing, to achieve the understanding of the soul. When I was in college, I used to study English hard. I learned textbooks one after another. I have been studying for many years. The English level is still at the level of artichokes. Think about the teacher in the 1930s and 1940s. Generations, after entering the church school, they took a Bible, turned over and recited the chanting, and let go of the religious significance. After a few years, a Bible was thoroughly cooked, and the English level passed through the whole life. When I went to college, I heard those of us. The teacher's elegant pronunciation and confident self-confidence in reading English, from the heart of the surprise, conceived that there is no recording equipment or repeater at that time, can speak English so authentic, that is a fascinating state. What learning equipment we have now, it is difficult to learn English well, what is the reason? It is that we have not focused our attention on one point, and one point has not caught it. It is of course difficult to grasp the whole. So now someone asks me how to learn English. I often finish it in one sentence: I can't say any good textbooks. I can't say that everyone will recite the Bible, otherwise everyone will think that I am a missionary.
Nowadays, children choose too much. It is a good thing and a bad thing for them. The good thing is to be knowledgeable and have many opportunities. The bad thing is to stop focusing on it. Often, the three minds and the two opinions make the rudder constantly change the direction of life and work. In the end, I lost my way and lost my life. A friend of mine has done a survey to see how many college students do not like their majors. Most of the results are disliked. In the past, majors were assigned, and they did not like to be forgiven. Now the profession is chosen by students themselves. If you don't like it, it's not right. But it's still not right. Many students change their favorite professions because they don't like it. The survey found that half of the students who changed the majors still changed for themselves. I still don’t like the majors; I can see how many college students are overwhelmed by many opportunities. In retrospect, I feel that our university life was happier. The country assigned you a major. You have to learn and learn without learning. The result is that you have to learn to like it. Later, many people have become outstanding talents in the professional field. . As Churchill said, a person does not lie in what he likes to do, but in learning to like what he is doing. Anything that achieves success requires a lot of effort. Sometimes, many people like that one thing is superficial, and once they have to work hard, they will be discouraged. I have a friend who likes to listen to piano music. I am envious of the people who can play the piano. Then I finally have time to have money. So I decided to learn the piano and invited a good teacher. The result was completely collapsed two months later. Give up, I asked him why he gave up. He said that he heard the harsh sound that popped up, the neuropathy was about to break out, and he was no longer interested in the piano. From then on, his love for piano music was wiped out. Therefore, we like to have one thing and to do one thing really is two different things. The premise of doing one thing is to make great efforts and efforts. When I started to do New Oriental, I was forced by life, so I couldn’t talk about it. There are a few people who started my business at the same time. In the end, I couldn’t stand the loneliness and hardship. I was halfway, but I have nothing else. To do, people are not smart enough, so they can only persist, and they are beaten up, made New Oriental, and like New Oriental.
