最近在看《邓小平时代》和《走进周恩来》,学姐心目中最最最敬爱钦佩的人。
文化大革命中断高考长达10年之久,1997才得以恢复,这中间的历程付出太多太多。
高考制度的恢复,改变了无数人的命运。
这让我想起之前看的一个:
[关于教育本质的定义――William Johnson Cory]
At school you are engaged not so much in acquiring knowledge as in making mental efforts under criticsim. A certain amount of knowledeg you can indeed with average faculties acquire so as to retain ; nor need you regret the hours you spent on much that is forgotten, for the shadow of lost knowledge at least protects you from many illusions.But you go to a gteat school not so much for knowledge as for arts and habits ; for the habits of attention , for the art of expression , for the art of assuming at a moment's notice a new intellectual position , for the art of entering quickly into another person's thoughts , for the habit of submitting to censure and refutation , for the art of indicating assent or dissent in graduated terms , for the habit of regarding minute points of accuracy , for the art of working out what is possible in a given time , for taste , for discrimination , for the mental courage , and for mental soberness.
知识改变命运,学习成就未来。
上学不是唯一的出路,但是对大多数人来说却是一条捷径。
知识,哪怕只是幻影,也会变成你的铠甲,保护你不被愚昧所侵蚀。
坚持读书,坚持学习,坚信自己可以完成一些东西,坚信自己可以承受读书和学习的强度,无论读的是什么,这过程本身就是一种强大的信念,会带领你到达目的地。
在家教我弟学习,引用了龙应台这样一段话:“我要求你用功读书,不是因为我要你跟别人比成绩,而是因为,我希望你将来有选择的权利。选择有意义的,有时间的工作,而不是被迫谋生,当你的工作在你心中有意义,你就有成就感,当你工作给你时间,不剥夺你的生活,你就有尊严。成就感和尊严带给你快乐”
愿,好。
我们在不同的地方一起努力!
