The price of ignorance

Derek Bock, a former president of Harvard University, once famously said, "If you think education is expensive,try ignorance!"-if you think the cost of education is too high, try the price of ignorance.

Yes, I do not know when, the whole society is telling people such a story of hard work, telling everyone that you must work hard. In fact, everyone knows how good it is not to work hard at the moment!

Why do you have to stay up late to do homework that can never be finished? it's nice to lie down early!

Why do thousands of people have to spend money on tutoring classes? it's so good to travel!

Why do you have to force the child to try to make the relationship tense? it's so good to stay at ease!

People of any age will find pleasure in indulgence, and even critically ill patients will be delighted to secretly smoke a cigarette. He is even indulging his life, but this indulgence is very cool!

Well, if you don't work hard, don't force your children to study, have fun, spend their time playing games and traveling. By comparison, it's a paradise for those parents who study with their children all day long and struggle with their children in study.

However, in the matter of educating their children, every parent has to pay the same amount, that is to say, the more relaxed and lazy they are in the early stage, the greater the price they have to pay in the later stage.

To invest in children is to invest in happiness for the rest of your life. This article is worth thinking about by teachers and parents.

What does a child's happiness come from?

When it comes to such a philosophical thing as happiness, it is actually a bit difficult to tell, but we have to mention that, after all, this is the ultimate goal of all parents.

What high education, good job, high income and so on, behind these appearances are parents want their children to be happy, then what really determines a person's happiness?

Many writers have interpreted and explained that if you read enough, you will find that happiness must be closely related to two indicators-dignity and freedom.

Needless to say, dignity is closely related to a person's virtue and social status. Virtue alone is useless. Your class will deeply affect your dignity. This is the law of class.

What about freedom? All people have free will, but the freedom given to you by this society is limited, wealth and status determine a large degree of freedom, which we have to admit.

You go online to see how dissatisfied and helpless young people are in the face of "dead careers and lives at the age of 20", "facing the cold eyes in society" and "facing what we call ordinary life".

When a young man suffers dozens of times the failures of others because of a resume, what will he think?

The more ignorant people are, the more likely they are to make excuses for themselves.

Do you still remember the top liberal arts student who told the truth about society?

"it is becoming more and more difficult for children in rural areas to get into good schools, while children of middle-class families like me, whose parents are diplomats, were born in a big city like Beijing. This determines that I can take many shortcuts in my study. "

Every word is heartbreaking, how many people begin to resent the reality and complain about their origins, but they are also blinded by them and cannot see the other part of the reality. So many people use this as an excuse to accept their fate. Anyway, they have worked hard for the rest of their lives.

But there are always other people, in this reality that can not see the future clearly, still giving up their lives, still spilling blood, and still performing the story of killing dragons with warm blood.

Those who persist stand out from the reality that can not see the future and come to another part of the reality. In this part, fate has a lot of fish out of the net, many doors of opportunity are open, and countless spirits of hope follow.

Just as the last sentence of the top student in Beijing liberal arts college entrance examination said: having knowledge does not necessarily change fate, but without knowledge cannot change fate.

As long as you are still working hard, there are endless possibilities in life. Compete with time, break through in probability, and be a fish out of the net in the hands of God.

Ignorance makes people unable to see themselves or the world.

Before that, the news of "Peking University graduates selling pork" had been talked about for many years, and many people thought, "what about graduating from Peking University? why not go to sell pork?" When I graduated from primary school, I also sold it. "

But what they don't know is that the Peking University student who "sells pork" is Lu Buxuan, and a man named Chen Sheng first discovered his strength: "in a stall, he sells 1.2 pigs a day, which is quite remarkable." and this kid can sell 12 pigs a day. It's amazing. "

Chen Sheng later partnered with Lu Buxuan to set up the "Butcher School". Later, they opened hundreds of chain stores. Lu Buxuan and Chen Sheng were both worth more than 100 million yuan.

Coincidentally, after graduating from Yale University, Qin Xianfei went to Hengshan County to become a village official. Many people scoffed: "I must not be able to live at Yale, otherwise how could I become a village official?" If I can't read a single word, I can also become a village official. "

Later, Qin Xianfei used the resources of his contacts at Yale to launch the "Black soil Wheat Field" project. Use the financial knowledge learned at Yale to introduce capital and marketing team to develop the business industry in the village. So he became the most beautiful village official in China.

There is an article written: after reading 985swap 211, you just know that the theory of the uselessness of reading is a lie. These people not only have the ability and strength to enter better enterprises and platforms, but even in the industry of selling pork and peanuts and seeds without a threshold, they also have a good chance of doing better.

The so-called theory that reading is useless, and the so-called poor quality of graduates from famous schools are all examination machines, which are in fact very extreme examples.

And ignorant people, most like to pull tiger skin as a banner, with a very small probability of events, to defend themselves, and to maliciously speculate on others.

Don't regard your study as too utilitarian.

So what is the purpose of education and learning? To get a high score? College entrance examination? No, absolutely not. At least, it's more than that.

Reading is not just for mixing a college diploma and opening up a world of smooth wind and water.

Reading is to make you a warm, interesting and thoughtful person, to have a calm heart in the ups and downs of life, so that you can live alone through those long and dark years in the future without complaining.

The purpose of reading is to talk about not only firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea, but also piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, hops, and hops with your lover in the future.

No matter how delicate the vase is, it will break one day, and no matter how beautiful it is, it will grow old one day. Only the books you have read and the words you have written will gradually accumulate in your body and become your wealth.

If you read more books, you will find that the world, which you have never noticed before, is so vivid that there are thousands of rivers and mountains outside the mobile phone screen; if you read more books, you will find that no matter how big the trouble is in front of the boundless sea of knowledge, it's just a drop in the ocean.

Even if you eventually fall into tedious, lead-free, you will have a different state of mind in the face of the same job; in the face of the same family chores, you will have a different mood; and cultivate the same offspring, you will have different literacy.

This is the world's greatest reward for those who study hard and attach importance to education.

Hard work is very tired, educating children is very tired, accompanying children to grow up is very tired. But it must have been worth it. Don't be afraid of tiredness, don't be afraid of time, don't be afraid of expensive, don't be afraid of trouble.

Every choice has a price. Don't try the price of ignorance. It will be miserable.
