At noon on September 16, Wang Xile came home with a four-wheel drive electric car, and I was very surprised. He said, "Hey, hey, hey, it's so fresh!

"Dad, this car is not mine. ”

"Whose is it?"

"He Peng's. ”

"How did He Peng's things get into your hands?"

"He gave it to me. ”

"Why?" I was surprised.

He Peng's test scores dropped, and his father said that if he dared to play racing, he would smash all his toys. He Peng was terrified. In order to protect the car, he told me that I was the most trustworthy person among the children, and that he wanted me to represent him in the 4x4 race at the Little Doctor Firm next week, so he gave me the car and membership card. As he spoke, my son took out his membership card for me to see.

Since Wang Xile took over He Peng's four-wheel drive, he has put all his previous experience in playing with cars to use. On that day, Wang Xile said that it was a cheap car and that it would be very difficult to beat a good car, but with his own experience, he was confident in the race on the 23rd.

No matter what, once it becomes the goal of the child's heart, it has an unexpected effect. For several days in a row, he continued to disassemble and assemble the car, and every time he tested the car, he looked like God was giving him happiness.

On the day of the race, Wang Xile bought four new batteries and borrowed three rechargeable batteries.

In the afternoon, Wang Xile came home with a beautifully packaged four-wheel drive motor and said, "Dad, it's so lucky, I won the championship, and this is the prize." ”

"You're awesome!" I said happily.

"Dad, do you know how I won?"

"Don't know?"

"There are two main things: one is that the battery is sufficient, which anyone can do, and the other is that no one can think of it based on my previous experience of playing with cars. ”

"How could no one have thought of it?"

"Dad, look," Wang Xile said, turning on the car, "there is a gasket here in the main drive gear of the motor, this gasket is mainly to increase the stability of the main drive shaft, but the friction it causes will obviously affect the speed of the car. If it's a long distance race, you can't do without this spacer, but we are a short track race, and the main thing is about speed, and stability is not important, so I removed the spacer. Even though my car was cheap, I used a new battery every race, round by round, and got lucky to win the championship. ”

Wang Xile's words stunned me, I can't believe it's true, but it's true. I said in a lost voice, "Joy, you have been doing useful learning all these years. ”

"Dad, what do you mean by useful learning?"

"Joy, what are you doing studying?"

"Learn knowledge. ”

"What do you do with knowledge?"

"You will definitely not be right when I say that you are admitted to a good university, and you will definitely say that you are wrong when I say that you are superior to others; teachers often say that we should learn knowledge and culture, and if we learn knowledge well, we will have culture, and now I don't know what to do with knowledge. ”

"Joy, knowledge belongs to the material realm, culture belongs to the spiritual realm, knowledge and culture are two completely different things. The things you learn from books are knowledge, and the kind of thinking that gives you the ability to transform racing cars through knowledge is culture. Knowledge is created by predecessors, it is something that is clearly known, it does not produce power. But culture has a specific value direction, and it is that value that makes knowledge powerful. For example, if you were fiddling with a race car the other day, if you were to focus on your studies as well, would you be able to do that?"

"No, you can't. ”

"Why?"

"Dad, aren't you knowingly advisors? ”

"How did Dad know about the consultant, and it stands to reason that he played 4WD to get out of your life. But as soon as you took over He Peng's car, you had an incomparable desire to win, which is not as specific as knowledge, but it does exist, inspiring you to do your best for your friends, and want to be recognized by your friends that you are the best. ”

"Dad, how do you know?"

"It was my friend culture who told me. Joy, your underlying desire is culture, which nurtures new discoveries of knowledge and shapes your personality. ”

"Winning for your friends is culture!" The son said cutely and puzzled.

"Yes, it's culture. If a child does not form his or her own cultural outlook in the process of learning, then his life will not produce a direction, and he will only be satisfied with his own food and drink. In fact, the process of transforming your car is to lead the way with knowledge, and it is the embodiment of wisdom. ”

"Daddy, I'm the embodiment of wisdom!?"

"Yes. You find out that the idea that the gasket is counterproductive to the short track game is wisdom, and the perseverance to find a way to make the game win is wisdom, and Daddy wants to do as much of this as possible to you. ”

"Definitely. That's what I like to do the most. ”

"Joy, learning is only to memorize the knowledge of predecessors in the mind, and without using knowledge to enrich wisdom, knowledge cannot form cultural values, which is a dangerous thing. Knowledge is at best a symbol, and science is nothing more than a body of knowledge. Science can be used to kill people as well as to benefit people, and knowledge can only be useful when it is in the hands of people of knowledge and when used for beneficial causes. For example, if you have invented a variety of methods of making films, you have reorganized a yo-yo, you have remodeled a racing car, you have written an essay with real feelings, and you have learned the power of music in nature.

Life is the only way to live, all the small efforts to books, will slowly accumulate into life aspirations. If you think about how to score 100 points every day, learning will interfere with the development of people's normal brain skills, and the more knowledge you have, the more paranoid your temperament will become, and when you grow up and should take responsibility, you will be as naïve as a child. For example, about 70% of China's tycoons are in primary school. Many doctors and masters were very unconvinced and started their own businesses, but the results did not change much. This is because business knowledge and book knowledge are two completely different things, and making money is not determined by book knowledge. Dad said these things that you don't understand, because he wants you to know that some Chinese doctors and masters are too nerd, and don't blindly believe them when you meet such people in the future, but have your own analysis, so that your learning can transform more and more complex racing cars. ”
