University should be the most unsuitable place for human beings to study. Students should cherish youth and study quietly! Four years in college can be very short or very long; Four years in college can be very busy or very decadent. What is the most important and beautiful thing in life? I think it's not money and power, it's time and youth! The wasted time and youth in youth will eventually make the future pay the bill. We are not responsible for the country, not for our parents, but for ourselves.
Students must first make a living in Mingde. "The way of the university, mingde, close to the people, the best." The Book of Rites discusses the functions and responsibilities of universities in this way. Of course, the significance of the university here is very different from that of the present university, but the requirements for scholars are the same. Morality is of fundamental significance to individuals and society. The premise of doing good is to be a good person, be responsible for the family and be useful to the country and society. We young people should be ambitious. Only when you have ideals, pursuits, opinions and judgments can you achieve something. Establishing a correct ideal of life is like lighting a bright light for yourself walking in the dark and illuminating the way forward. I believe that no matter what difficulties and obstacles you encounter in the future, you can go forward without hesitation. While setting up an ideal, we should learn to persist. It is better to set a long-term goal than to set a long-term goal, and always adhere to the principle of being a man, lofty beliefs and lofty goals in the face of risk challenges. The ancients once said that hard work is like digging a well. Instead of digging more wells than springs, it is better to dig deeper wells, and springs will be inexhaustible. We can look at Hong Yingming's Caigen Tan, Chen Jiru's You Ji in the Small Window, and Wang Yongbin's Night Talk Around the Furnace. These three books are elegant in writing and superb in style. They are excellent books for self-cultivation and self-cultivation! Students can also look at Li Shutong's famous poems. His writing has profound artistic conception and profound implications. Students should not only learn scientific and cultural knowledge, but also pay attention to the inner cultivation of the mind and moral cultivation. Students should slowly settle down and cultivate their noble taste in learning and being a man, not only to grow into a better self, but also to contribute their blood and youth to others, to society and to the country. Young people should have a sense of social responsibility and be determined to be rigorous scholars and scholars like Qian Zhongshu and Ji Xianlin. Either be patriotic scientists like Qian Xuesen and Shi, and serve the country with wisdom and the power of science and technology. What is the soul of a university? I think Chen Yinque summed it up very well, that is, "spiritual independence and freedom of thought". Young college students who lack social responsibility and social responsibility can't be independent spiritually. To learn "independence", students should first be able to live independently, then be good at independent thinking, and finally develop an independent personality. The important task of universities is to stimulate curiosity, cultivate imagination and cultivate their own critical thinking. Independent life is an independent and self-reliant attitude towards life, and it can face and handle the difficulties and choices in life and study alone. Independent thinking is a practical way of thinking, that is, when things happen, don't follow the trend, don't blindly follow, and go with the flow. Independent personality is a spiritual character that does not depend on others and authority, and has self-humanity and pursuit. Only by learning to think independently and having an independent personality can we help students stimulate curiosity, stimulate imagination and establish critical thinking, and then they can truly mature, that is to say, your students can be responsible for themselves, their families and society.
Students should pay attention to the cultivation of humanistic quality and be exquisite and tasteful. It is best for a college student to be in this state-a science student with liberal arts thinking. Why do you say that? It is much easier for science students to cultivate their own knowledge of humanities and social sciences than for liberal arts students to learn science and engineering knowledge. Science students can simply transfer to liberal arts, but the knowledge of liberal arts students determines that it is difficult for them to transfer to science, so science and engineering students may have an advantage in this respect. But no matter what major, what students, the cultivation of humanistic quality and the filling of social science knowledge are very important and necessary! Universities should be places to cultivate all-round qualities, not skilled talents with knowledge and illiteracy!
What books should college students read? I think we should recommend history books and philosophy books first! Many of Harvard's best graduates are philosophy and history majors. Unfortunately, these two majors have been unpopular in China! Reading history makes people wise. The vast history has left us endless spiritual wealth and life experience, and we have traveled in the ocean of history. You will wash away the lead, which is different! As college students, we should clearly know the historical context, important events and their influences of China for more than 4,000 years. If it is difficult to read the Twenty-four History of Ancient Chinese, you can consider choosing books such as Twenty-four History of Modern Chinese and Modern History of China. Reading philosophical books may be difficult to enter the world of thinkers, and it is impossible to understand them at once. If you can understand a philosophy book at once, then everyone will become a philosopher. Read it once and you will get something. In philosophy books, we can consider reading articles with a hundred schools of thought contending, Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism and Lu Wang's Mind, especially Lu Jiuyuan's and Wang Yangming's Mind. Generally speaking, we have been studying Marxist philosophy and growing up in Mao Zedong Thought. I don't think there is anything wrong with it, but I don't quite agree with one thing. Ma Zhe and Mao Lun are typical materialists, and they hold a completely negative attitude towards idealism. I also accepted this idea when I was not exposed to idealistic books. When I read through Lu Wang's thoughts one day, I was deeply moved. I really shouldn't deny it, because people have changed. I think the subjective cognition of things is more important than the objective existence. Man is the main factor of all things and the source of energy to change the objective existence. Materialism weakens this understanding and denies this view, which is actually wrong, at least not completely correct! Through this incident, I also understand a truth, believing in books is better than not reading! If there are students with the same hobbies, interested students can also look at Lu Wang's "Xin Xue" and see how wise our ancient philosophers are!
Literary works can also be read well, which is an important way to cultivate a person's all-round quality. Students can take a look at the four sonorous sounds in The Book of Songs, striking the floor, Handwriting Tales in Han Fu, and Fate in Han Yuefu. You can look at the beautiful and natural ancient poems in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, those idylls that are "unpretentious and all the scenery words are sentimental"; You can look at the romantic and magnificent Tang poems, and you can look at the graceful and patriotic Song poems. You can take a look at Sanyan Erpai, a vernacular novel that exhorts, warns and awakens the world, and The Scholars, a broken collection, which is combined into one post. Although it is not huge, it varies from time to time, and you can also take a look at the classical classics represented by A Dream of Red Mansions. You can look at The World, Lin's poems and Zhang Ailing's novels. You can look at the modern poems of Xi Murong and Haizi, and you can also look at contemporary documentary novels. Maybe we don't need to read all the contents, and maybe it won't be immediate after reading these literary works, but if you read them for a long time, one day you will suddenly find yourself different from the classmates around you, knowing more, having a better temperament and being more confident.
Students should love reading, learn to study, learn to think, learn to doubt, learn to ask questions, and more importantly, calm down! When reading, you should study quietly, not necessarily quickly, but learn to chew and ruminate like a cow eating grass. At the same time, we should learn to think and look at the author's point of view from different angles. You can spend a month or more reading a book. Of course, you can also read several books at the same time to improve your learning efficiency. There is no genius who knows everything, but the speed and ability of learning can be cultivated. We should also study different books in different ways: some books can be scanned, such as literature, stories, biographies, etc. Some books should be read carefully, such as philosophy, history, etc. Some books should be read with your own thoughts and opinions, such as Strategy and Politics. This is an era of knowledge explosion, and the updating speed of knowledge is unprecedented. We must have a sense of hardship, read more books, keep company with books, get a good friend and be a rich man in spirit. A person's reading history is a person's spiritual growth history. When students finish their studies, they must develop good reading habits. In the era of rapid development of network new media and broken reading, it is precious to calm down and smell the book! When students learn to cast nets for fishing, they should also learn to weave nets, because universities are not only places to learn knowledge, but also places to create knowledge, and they should learn to explore and innovate knowledge. Being brave and good at questioning is a secret of Jewish culture and the most important factor for the Jewish nation to maintain great creativity and vitality. Only by bravely questioning and discovering the limitations of predecessors can we form the habit of critical thinking, form the cognition and judgment of the nature of the world, expand the rational spirit and shape an independent personality. Only by breaking the tradition and daring to challenge the authoritative ideas and theories can we stimulate new ideas, create new paradigms, establish new theories and promote the continuous progress of our society. It is necessary to read books that suit you. In this digital age with diversified communication and overflowing information, it has given us more channels and opportunities to learn new knowledge, but it has also brought more temptations and led to many tragedies. Learning is to go in first and then come out. Reading should be the key to mastering knowledge from thick to thin. From thin to thick, the whole process of restoring knowledge. It is necessary to form the habit of learning, thinking and further exploration, so as to get twice the result with half the effort. Use your head diligently, and the more you use it, the more flexible you will be; Diligent writing, good memory is not as good as bad writing, and the genius who never forgets anything is a minority after all! Good at exploring and summarizing.
Students should learn from Wang Yangming's conscience, the truth and essence of the unity of knowledge and action, and don't become bookworms! In practice, we should not only apply what we have learned, but also integrate knowledge with practice. The so-called unity of knowledge and action is explained by Zhu Kezhen, a famous president in the history of Zhejiang University: "When you know something clearly, you know it. Knowing the truth is the bottom line. If you can't do it clearly, it's a ghost; Is to learn without thinking. So we have to know. It is a delusion to know without being true; It is dangerous to think without learning. So you have to say yes. It turned out to be just a kung fu. " Therefore, "people who don't know and can't do it; Knowing and not doing it is just unknown. " Therefore, "knowing is the idea of doing, doing is the effort of knowing, knowing is the beginning of doing, and doing is the achievement of knowing." Knowing and doing are one, and scholars are not allowed to be a little lazy. ""It's better to believe in books than not to study. A person who doesn't study is useless! "We should organically combine knowledge with experience, prove knowledge through practice, actively acquire knowledge according to the needs of practice, and achieve the goal of transformation through harmonious integration. Here I recommend Chairman Mao's Theory of Practice, which I think is worth reading. At the end of "On Practice", Chairman Mao said: Truth is discovered through practice, and truth is confirmed and developed through practice. From perceptual knowledge to rational knowledge, and from rational knowledge to guide revolutionary practice, transform the subjective world and the objective world. Practice, cognition, practice and cognition are endless, and the content of each cycle of practice and cognition has reached a higher level. This is the whole epistemology of dialectical materialism, and this is dialectical materialism's view of the unity of knowledge and action. In fact, I think Chairman Mao's view of knowing and doing is also derived from Wang Yangming's view of knowing and doing, which is in the same strain as the unity of knowing and doing. Wang Yangming is also the idol of many military and political celebrities. Tougou Heihachirou, a Japanese military god, has a personal seal, which he has carried with him all his life. It says, "Do your best until you die. "Chiang Kai-shek is also a big fan of Wang Yangming. Among the ancient thinkers and scholars in China, Chiang Kai-shek admired Wang Shouren and Zeng Guofan the most. Chiang Kai-shek even changed his name to Jiang Zhongzheng, and his taboo came from Wang Yangming's mind. Although Chiang Kai-shek was defeated by us in the end, his self-cultivation and self-discipline still have a lot to learn from. I think we should treat Chiang Kai-shek objectively and comprehensively, and I also think that there are not many young people who really know him in our time. I think all success comes from great practice. Let's use Wang Yangming's "knowing the reason is doing, knowing the reason is knowing".
Students must exercise their sense of hardship and frustration. To be a man, we must have the tenacity of "insisting on the castle peak and not relaxing" and the persistence of "one hundred cows can't be pulled back"! Many of our young college students have been spoiled since childhood. When they encounter a little difficulty, they retreat, and when they encounter a little setback, they choose to escape, which is very unfavorable for the growth and progress of life! We should regard every hardship and setback as an important asset in life, and remember that "young people are as unfortunate as old people if they don't suffer hardships"! We should learn to re-recognize ourselves, others and society in setbacks, redefine what success, honor and value are, and constantly ask the meaning of life. In the face of setbacks, only those who constantly expand their hearts can overcome themselves, find self-confidence and move from self-reliance to self-reliance in life. At the same time, they should resolutely pursue their ideals in setbacks and always keep their inner curiosity about the unknown and their desire for truth. We should know how to reflect. Many problems in life and society have more than one answer, and some have no answer at all. We should learn to judge the diversity and uncertainty of things.
I think the two most important ways for people to acquire knowledge are life experience and accumulation of experience, which is related to our work and life experience and personal self-summary. We should be a conscientious person, pay attention to everything, study hard and be good at thinking. This is the old saying "pay attention everywhere". The second way is to turn the knowledge in books into their own knowledge accumulation through reading and learning, and young people use the latter to acquire knowledge more. Therefore, I don't approve of spending too much energy on social and business activities in college. Don't become sophisticated at a young age. It may be more necessary to calm down and concentrate on acquiring knowledge, because the thickness of life determines the length of life. At the same time, don't lose yourself in college. Tell the students that there are books and studies besides entertainment and love in college. Don't forget your duty! I believe that students will get as much as they pay, cherish every inch of time, wish students learn to reflect and criticize, and believe that each of us will have an infinitely beautiful tomorrow!
