The essence of the wonderful words in the book is recorded as follows. Encourage yourself to Do not forget your initiative mind and keep your nature.
First, the seven proverbs of education:
1. Education is growth, growth is the purpose, and there is no other purpose except growth.
The original meaning of education is to make everyone's nature and innate ability grow healthily, rather than instilling external things such as knowledge into a container. Intellectual education is to cultivate curiosity and rational thinking ability, not to instill knowledge, moral education is to encourage lofty spiritual pursuit, not to instill norms, and aesthetic education is to cultivate rich souls, not to instill skills. Oppose the narrow utilitarian scale to measure education.
2. Children are not immature adults, and childhood has its intrinsic value. Childhood is the most important stage of physical and mental growth and should be the happiest time in life. The greatest merit that education can achieve is to give children a happy and meaningful childhood.
The purpose of education is to free students from the slavery of reality, not to adapt to reality. Learning is not to adapt to the outside world, but to enrich yourself. Confucius said that learning is for oneself, not for others. Learning is to develop one's inner spiritual ability, so as to gain freedom when facing external reality. This is a kind of inner freedom. Education is to create conditions for promoting inner freedom and producing excellent souls and thoughts.
The most important educational principle is not to cherish time, but to waste it. The mission of education should be to provide the best environment for growth. What is the best environment? One is free time, the other is a good teacher. All education is self-education and all learning is self-study. What parents can do is to provide an environment that adapts to their children's growing environment.
Forget everything you have learned in class, and the rest is education. In Whitehead's words, it is a principle that completely permeates one's body and mind, a habit of intellectual activities, and a lifestyle full of knowledge and imagination. In Einstein's words, it is the overall ability to think and judge independently. According to Zhou's understanding, a person has become a hopeless thinker and scholar since then, and no matter what career he is engaged in in in the future, he can never change his habits and hobbies of learning, thinking and research before he can admit that he has received a college education.
6. Universities should be places where masters gather, so that young people can grow up under the influence of masters. The essence of education is not to impart knowledge, but to cultivate the habit of intellectual activities and the ability to think independently.
7. Teachers should regard students as an end rather than a means. Einstein said that the power to give teachers compulsory measures should be as little as possible, and the only source of students' respect for them is his humanity and rational quality. What is a good school? Is to have a group of good teachers. All education can be summed up as self-education. Academic qualifications and classroom knowledge are temporary, but the ability of self-education is lifelong wealth.
Second, study. Reading is one of the best ways of quality education, which cultivates a person's spiritual attributes. Spiritual attributes are divided into three aspects: knowledge, emotion and meaning, namely rational thinking, emotional experience and moral practice. Quality education corresponds to intellectual education, aesthetic education and moral education. Develop the habit of reading and have high reading taste. The so-called taste is to lead a spiritual life through reading, so that your thinking about the world and life is in a fresh state. The measure of whether a book is worth reading is whether you can't stop and want to write something after reading it. A person being influenced by another person is nothing more than a kind of self-discovery, and something that already exists but is sleeping is awakened. Read the book of sages and go your own way.
Third, the child's mind and the responsibility of parents. Keep curiosity and childlike innocence, cultivate the interest and ability of active learning from an early age, raise children in good books, make friends with children, and cultivate their independent spirit. Parents' eyes, for children, parents' eyes are a kind of light that often covers them. They often feel the light and shade of the world and the power of their own lives. The expectations for children are, first, peace, and second, healthy physical and mental growth.
Fourth, philosophy and Chinese. In a sense, children are philosophers. Philosophy, the original meaning is to love wisdom, that is, not willing to live confused, but to live clearly. Socrates said that an unexamined life is worthless, and that's what he meant. To understand is to think about the fundamental problems of the world and life with your own mind. It can also be said that philosophy is the world outlook and outlook on life. Philosophy is an activity of "observing" the overall situation, one is to think independently, and the other is to think about fundamental problems. As a Chinese teacher, children should be encouraged to read more books and keep diaries at the same time. Keeping a diary is a kind of communication with yourself. Persistence is the most important, and truth is the most important. Diary is the safe of years, the secret room of the soul, a firm friend and the cradle of writers.
Five, life education.
Respect for life is the most basic consciousness. Adam Smith said that there are two kinds of human nature, one is self-interested life instinct and the other is compassion.
Many times, we just live in this world with a title, maintaining the true nature of life, a kind of innocence that can listen to life quietly and make other lives willing to listen quietly, in which happiness far exceeds the vanity.
Eight topics of life education: 1. Cherish life; Second, life is the most basic value; The third is to feel the miracle of life; Fourth, listen to the value of life itself; Fifth, pay attention to the value of life; Sixth, the quality of life has two elements: whether there is a healthy life instinct and a lofty spiritual pursuit; Seventh, the outlook on life and the meaning of life. Loving life is the source of happiness, sympathizing with life is the basis of morality, and fearing life is the end of faith. Eighth, the urgency of developing life education.
Enjoy life itself. When I feel that the blood vessels in my limbs are full of fresh and active life, I feel that I am the happiest person in the world at this moment.
Sixth, about soul education. Everyone is an orphan. Express your inner kindness and love. People who really stand tall should be able to stand on top of all the successes in the world and overlook the success itself. Success is not the highest standard to measure the value of life. More important than success, a person has inner richness, his true temperament and interests, and his favorite things. Making it perfect and satisfying yourself is the true meaning of success, and success is an excellent by-product. Excellence refers to a person's inner quality, noble personality, real talent, and being responsible for his own life. Man's nobility lies in his soul, with a kind heart, rich heart and noble soul.
Happiness is a multi-level and sustainable happiness. Byron said that there are many rainbows in your sky, and you are full of all kinds of longings, fantasies and expectations for the future. All these hopes for the future can be summed up in one word: happiness.
