Chapter XXXVIII

"The rest of our classmates had no one else to teach us to study except for the teachers at school, and our parents didn't tutor us at all. Some parents can't teach it, and they don't have any knowledge themselves. Some parents are busy with official business and earning money, they are too busy to do so, they are busy and tired, and they simply have no time to teach their children to read. The head of a dozen of our children is a money bird, and everyone listens to him. Qian Niao is very good at being a man, he understands the world at a young age, and is very able to unite his classmates. Isn't Qian Bird very capable? Actually, no, his mother often taught him some experience in life. For example, 'When you see people, you talk about people, and when you see ghosts, you talk about ghosts.' ''Eat other people's soft mouths, take other people's hands short.' 'These secrets of life, Qian Niao is extremely proficient in use. Some students love to be greedy for small and cheap, and Qian Niao uses some small profits to envelop them; some students are greedy and delicious, and Qian Niao will give him some lollipops from time to time; some students are precocious, and they are fascinated by the love between men and women at a young age, and Qian Niao becomes a male matchmaker, and threads a needle and thread for him to find a girlfriend; some students like to listen to flattery, and Qian Niao compliments him a few words from time to time, and praises him to the heavens. In this way, Qian Niao, who is not good-looking and not tall, has become the eldest of more than a dozen of our children, and his popularity has been established, and his prestige has been established. Qian Niao is a model of successful relationalism!"

Tuesday Tiger said: "It can be said that except for a very small number of geniuses, behind every strong person there is a strong parental ancestor, and behind every student with good academic performance there is a parent who serves as an excellent tutor." It's getting late, so let's talk about it today. ”

The next day, everyone continued to chat together. "I think teachers, doctors, and police officers are the three most important people in a country, and they are also the three most critical professions that play the greatest role. They involve education, medical care, and public security. ”

Tuesday Tiger smiled and said, "Pony, let's talk about it, what is important about these three kinds of people?"

Ma Liujia said calmly: "'Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people. ''Centennial plan, education-oriented. The first and foremost profession is the profession of teaching. Some bad people are not born bad, but the acquired environment makes them bad. Xunzi said, "At the beginning of man, his nature is evil. I don't approve of it. I agree with Mencius who said, 'At the beginning of man, his nature is good.' Why? I'll give you an example. ”

"In the village next door to my hometown, there was a man whose child was very smart and beautiful when he was young, and when he was seventeen years old, he and several friends of the same age killed a middle-aged couple for three taels of silver. His parents couldn't understand why their son, who was so beautiful and lovely when he was a child, would embark on this terrifying path? The once handsome young man, now the murderer, such a huge contrast, such vicissitudes of life, people can't let go of it for a long time!"

"Just imagine, when I was a child, such a beautiful and lovely child, is the heart of my parents, that once happy smile, naughty demeanor, lively figure, looking at myself such a lovely child, mothers will wake up laughing in their dreams. But now, this cute and beautiful child has killed someone, and I didn't expect fate to change into such a tragic ending!"

"After the child enters the school, he leaves the discipline of his parents, comes into contact with society, gets to know some people, is influenced by bad social habits and bad friends, and then becomes bad. As some people have likened, a child is like a blank sheet of paper, which can be painted by a painter as a beautiful paradise or as a terrifying hell. Children's minds are not yet mature, they do not have their own opinions, they cannot distinguish between right and wrong, and they have no ability to resist the coaxing and instigation of others. ”

Tuesday Tiger said: "Pony is right, many bad people are taught bad by other bad people, and they are not bad people in the first place. Education is arguably the biggest thing in the country. The most important thing in education is to rely on teachers, and the so-called 'famous teachers produce high apprentices' is also. Talents in all aspects of the country, with the exception of a very small number of self-taught geniuses, are taught by teachers. The most important thing for teachers to teach students is to teach students to cultivate noble morality, and the other is to teach students to have skills and knowledge, with the ultimate goal of cultivating talents with both ability and political integrity. Virtue is genuine, talent and virtue are waste, talent and virtue are dangerous goods, and virtue is defective. The most terrible thing is dangerous goods, because dangerous goods are destructive to others and society. Although waste products are useless, they will not cause harm to others and society, because they are meant to harm others, and they must have some skills. Therefore, for teachers, the most difficult thing to teach is to cultivate students' good moral character, but relatively speaking, it is not difficult to teach students' knowledge and skills. ”

"Virtue exists in the human heart, especially those who are conspirators, and their vicious character is even more difficult to find. 'Hardship sees the truth. ''The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time. Some bad guys are very good at hiding and lurking, they say one thing and do another, and their real psychology is impossible for outsiders to detect. For example, Sima Yi, the father of Sima Zhao and Sima Yan, who usurped the power of Cao Wei, was a great conspirator in excellent disguise, and he could not even see the generation of heroes Cao Cao. If Cao Cao had foresighted that his descendants would all be slaughtered by Sima Yi's son, I think he would have killed Sima Yi, the great enemy, no matter what. There are many such examples, such as Hou Jing vs. Emperor Wu of Liang, An Lushan vs. Tang Xuanzong, Wu Zetian vs. Li Tang Dynasty, and Empress Dowager Cixi vs. Emperor Xianfeng. Sima Yi, Hou Jing, An Lushan, Wu Zetian, and Empress Dowager Cixi, these are all top conspirators, and they can't find their true psychology and vicious hearts at all in normal times, only when they are full-fledged and become the climate, will their true forms be revealed, and their true faces will be revealed!"

So the question of cultivating character is indeed the biggest problem. This question should become the biggest topic of study, and our society would rather set back a few decades than produce a fierce and vicious genius! It is a pity that so many of our scholars, politicians, and moralists have not seriously studied this subject. ”

"If one day, the bad people in society are all educated, then there will be no more murderers and harms in society, there will be no prisoners in prisons, prisons will be transformed into production workshops, prison police will be transferred to become workers, only part of the army will be retained to deal with natural disasters and accidents, and other troops and police will be transferred to engage in production and labor, it will be tantamount to another great liberation of the productive forces, and it will certainly have a huge role in promoting human society!"
