When it comes to history, our first reaction will think of the ancient and modern history of China and the world we learned in middle school; Me too. When it comes to the role of learning history, we will first think that it is to increase our knowledge and experience, as the capital of our conversation or as a coping strategy; Me too. After learning history, we all want to satisfy our self-esteem. Whether talking or preaching, we are trying to embody our values. Less and less people will experience the warmth and coldness of human nature from the rut of history, and then be enlightened and useful. Today's young people, I generally divide them into two categories: "poor" children and "rich" children. Of course, this division is not limited to. When it comes to happiness, each of us will feel that we are not happy enough, even if you are rich enough and comfortable enough in the eyes of others.
You might as well go and see, today's "poor" children, or more accurately, students (mostly students before the age of 20), are always dissatisfied with the reality, thinking that the world is unfair, the pressure is increasing, and the struggle is like a sea of suffering. I can, too, not to mention my twenties and thirties in ancient times. Mr Carnegie told us, "When you feel depressed, standing in the long river of history, you will find that your troubles are not worth mentioning. Because "the whole human history is written with a sad pen: killing, plague, hunger, poverty ..." We can live in peace-no killing, no frequent plague, no hunger and poverty-do we really have to look forward to the opportunity of heroes in troubled times?
It is more necessary for rich children to study history than for "poor" children. I have always believed that if a person wants to succeed and gain recognition, he must go through setbacks to get up. In universities, there are always many famous sayings and aphorisms in the classrooms of teaching buildings that inspire us. When we first saw a well-written word-how can we see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain-maybe it was because of interest (the word was well written). We must admit that the children of "rich people" are well-informed and have a high starting point, which is often the reason why they may eventually fail. Maybe it's better to read history and look at the history of bitterness and tears written by their predecessors to lower the starting point. Be careful about your position, don't expect too much from others, and be down to earth.
My first systematic contact with history was in junior high school, when I was talking about the history of China. The teacher always draws the ancient history of China from the far left to the far right of the blackboard, showing wavy lines with peaks and valleys. Every dynasty has its ups and downs, so it has changed. The beginning of each dynasty was created by some great men. These people should be called successful people. Most of them have experienced poverty or setbacks and finally made great achievements. This is especially true of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor. At the same time, it is precisely because the children of the "rich" did not study history well that they eventually became the children of another "poor". There are also many foreign shoemakers, apprentices and other "poor people" who have achieved great things.
Not long ago, I read about our modern language master, Mr. Feng Gong, Feng's grandson, and his successful history. How did a child who should be a "rich man" go through his own "poor man" time, then move towards the "rich man" class, and finally achieve glory?
History, we should remember that "the whole human history is written with a sad pen: killing, plague, hunger, poverty ...", and the role of history is as simple as that.
