How many aspects can we start from to "do good"?

I am responsible for the rise and fall of the world

My responsibility for the rise and fall of the world

Introduction: I read this article very early and was deeply impressed. It said that there is such a thing in Taiwan In a school, students are aged between 15 and 18. Every year, among the more than 3,000 students, 200 to 300 are expelled by the school for violating school discipline. The school has no workers, no guards, and no masters. All necessary work is done by the students themselves. The school implements a senior system, with third-year students leading first-year students. It only takes 3 minutes for the whole school to assemble. Students must salute when they see their teacher seven meters away. There is no homework for the winter holidays, and no one can fail to get into college.

This is Taiwan’s Zhongxin Senior Business School, which has been renowned for its 30-year reputation for moral education. In recruitment advertisements in major newspapers in Taiwan, the words "Only recruiting loyal graduates" often appear.

Who makes a middle school so orderly and impressive? This teacher is called Gao Zhendong. He is 65 years old this year. The Taiwan Zhongxin Advanced Business Administration School and its "Zhongxin Education Law" he founded have benefited hundreds of thousands of people in Taiwan. In recent years, Teacher Gao has been invited to give lectures in mainland China many times, and has been awarded the title of "Visiting Professor" or "Honorary President" of the College of Adult Education by more than ten universities including Shandong, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Central China, Henan, and Hebei. His more than five-hour speech on "Morality, Education, and Patriotism" touched the hearts of countless parents, teachers and leaders, and even made the majority of school students think for a long time. Now, I am reprinting part of his speech. I do not completely agree with the views in the article, but I believe that everyone will appreciate Teacher Gao’s personality and patriotic passion, especially under the current situation, when the Chinese nation has arrived. The most dangerous time. I hope everyone can learn something from it...

The rise and fall of the world My responsibility

Students, what is the next sentence of "the rise and fall of the world"? - No, it's "my responsibility". "If everyone gets an extra 10 points for this year's college entrance examination, doesn't that mean there is no extra point?" "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" means that no one is responsible. "Everyone has a responsibility" should be changed to "my responsibility". This is how I teach my students. Therefore, I, Gao Zhendong, am responsible for the poor education in mainland China. Only because of this, I returned to my motherland to give a lecture on ethics. (Applause) "Taking the rise and fall of the world as our own responsibility" is Mencius' thought. Yu is a human being, Shun is a human being, and I am a human being too! They can do it, why can't I? "The rise and fall of the world is my responsibility." Only with this thought can our country have hope. If each of our students says: "It is my responsibility that the school order is not good; it is my responsibility that the country's education is not running well; it is my responsibility that the country is not strong... Everyone can take the initiative to take responsibility, and the world How can there be a country that is not prosperous and a group that is not united? Therefore, every student should pull the responsibility onto himself instead of pushing it out. This is how I run a school in Taiwan. If the classroom is dirty, I ask: "What's going on?" If a student stands up and says: "Teacher, today is the 32nd classmate on duty, and he didn't clean it." In that case, the student will be beaten. In my school, students would say: "Teacher, I'm sorry, this is my responsibility" and then go clean it immediately. If a lightbulb is broken, any student who sees it will buy one and install it. If the window glass is broken, the student will immediately buy a piece and replace it. This is education. Don't push the responsibility away, but take it over. . Some people may say that this is a loss. Let me tell you, a loss is an advantage. This education must be kept in mind. Every Chinese must remember it!

Schools should train students to think that "the rise and fall of the world is my responsibility." If the campus is not clean, it should be everyone's responsibility. Do you think that such a big campus will be dirty if you don’t destroy it and if I don’t destroy it? After it gets dirty, if everyone cleans it up, will it get dirty? You only expect a few workers to do this job and say: "This is their business. I am here to study, not to sweep the floor." - What is this concept? What are you doing studying? Doesn’t studying serve the country? If you are not satisfied with the current service, how can you still serve the future? If you don’t shoulder your current responsibilities, can you shoulder your future responsibilities? The faucet is leaking, can't you stop it? Some people will say, "That's not my business, that's the General Affairs Office's business." This is wrong. The worst mistake of ordinary people is this: after turning on the faucet, they find that there is no water, then they turn on the second faucet, but there is no water in the second faucet, and then turn on the third one - such students will be expelled from my school! I don’t even understand how to draw inferences from one example. If the first one doesn’t have water, will the second one have it? Didn't you expect the water would come? How can a person do it without foresight? As a cadre and as a person, you must think about the consequences. The farther you look at the consequences, the more successful you are.

A person who only cares about the present and does not care about the future is not a good cadre or a useful person. If the water pipe is not turned off and the water comes, it will fill the pond and flow out, but you still don't pay attention: "It's the country's water anyway, not my own!" - Wasting the country's water is a traitor! Why are you wasting the country's water? Why are you wasting the country's resources? I save a basin of water for the country by washing my face every day. How much water do I save in a year? Do the math. If you have more than 6,000 students in your school and each of them saves a basin of water every day, how much will they save in a year? Saving water means saving electricity, which means saving national resources. There are two kinds of love, one is active patriotism and the other is passive patriotism.

Active patriotism is to create wealth for the country, while passive patriotism is to save wealth for the country. The country has used so many people's fat and oil to support your education, and you are still wasting the country's wealth. Where is your conscience? You are like this when you go to college, how can you expect it from middle school students and elementary school students? How can we expect this from ordinary people? If your senior intellectuals are not patriotic, how can you get ordinary people to be patriotic? Only by starting from ourselves can our country have hope - this is the positive and responsible moral concept of "the rise and fall of the world is my responsibility", and this is moral education.

Another point is that we must have the concept of professionalism that "do not neglect good deeds if they are small, and do not do evil deeds if they are small." Is there something big going on in the world? No. But any small thing is a big thing. When small evils are combined, they become great evils; when small good things are combined, they become great good. Cultivating good morals starts from respecting teachers, and it starts from very small things. This kind of morality is built up slowly, rather than specifically finding talents for big things. When get out of class was over this morning, the principal of the Normal University and I came out together. There was a lot of waste paper in the auditorium. I said not to pick it up, but to wait until the students pick it up by themselves in the afternoon - classmates, anyone who leaves these scraps of paper is unpatriotic. There is no big deal in the world, please first pick up the scraps of paper under your feet - this is my "teaching material". Okay, students, picking up the waste paper at your feet is the beginning of patriotism. Let me tell you two stories about stained paper.

First, there is a "Ford Company" in the United States. Ford is a person. After graduating from college, he applied for a job in a car company. The three or four people who applied for the job with him all had higher academic qualifications than him. After the interviews with the first few people, he felt that he had no hope. But once it comes, let’s make peace with it. He knocked on the door and walked into the chairman's office. As soon as he entered the office, he found a piece of paper on the ground at the door. He bent down to pick it up and found that it was a piece of stained paper, so he threw it into the wastebasket. Then he went to the chairman's desk and said, "I'm here to apply for Ford." The chairman said, "Very good, very good! Mr. Ford, you have been hired by us." Ford said in surprise: "Director Chairman, I think the first three are better than me, so why did you hire me?" The chairman said, "Mr. Ford, the first three are indeed better educated than you and have good looks, but their eyes can only see big things. , but cannot see small things. I think people who can see small things will naturally see big things in the future. A person who can only see big things will ignore many small things, so he will not succeed. I just hired you. "That's how Ford joined the company. The company soon became famous all over the world. Ford changed the company to "Ford Company", which also changed the entire national economic situation of the United States and made the American automobile industry the leader in the world. Taking the top spot, this is Ford, the creator of today's "American Ford Company". Everyone, is this piece of waste paper important? People who see small things can see big things, but people who can only see big things may not necessarily be able to see small things. This is a very important lesson.

The second story about stained paper is that when the current Asian Games ended in Hiroshima, Japan, there was not a single piece of waste paper in the venue of 60,000 people. Newspapers all over the world published articles and exclaimed: "The respectable, terrible Japanese nation!" The whole world was surprised just because there was not a piece of waste paper. Look again at the footage of us raising the national flag in Tiananmen Square on October 1. After the people dispersed, there were scraps of waste paper all over the floor! Foreigners will of course think so when they see it: If China wants to compare with Japan, it is still far behind! Don't always say: Our country has a vast territory and rich resources, and we have 137 gold medals - it's useless. Our moral standards have not been raised yet, they are still far from enough! Do you think these waste papers are important? So, I asked everyone to pick up a piece of waste paper. This is the beginning of patriotism. Do good in one action and do good in the world. Everything starts small. The American spaceship No. 13 was about to reach the moon, but it could not board it and had no choice but to return. Why? Just because a small battery costing 30 yuan a piece broke, their long-gestating space plan was destroyed, and hundreds of millions of dollars were scrapped! Is there something big going on in the world? Have you seen any plane crash in which the wings and head fell off at the same time? The accident occurred because a section of the oil pipe was blocked and a tire could not be lowered. When a person dies, which one is caused by the whole body festering? He died because of a bad liver, a heart problem, or an abnormality in a small organ!

Students, from now on, you must have a sense of professionalism. The purpose of our nine-year education in China is to see how you get along with your teachers and how you get along with your friends. This is the purpose of education. From ancient times to the present, Chinese education has been the greatest education. If you regard Western education as the most advanced education, you would be totally wrong. The U.S. Secretary of Education gave a speech three months ago and said: "Our country's education is a complete failure. We have turned people into meat machines. We must learn humanistic education from the East!" Therefore, the education of our motherland is the best in the world. The greatest education ever! (Applause) Confucius told us: Learning without thinking is a waste, thinking without learning is peril. A student must keep learning, thinking, and doing. This is real education, and this is the essence of Chinese education.

Another one, we need to carry out moral education to revitalize national culture by eating Chinese food, speaking Chinese, celebrating Chinese festivals and wearing Chinese clothes. Can a Chinese be called Chinese if he doesn't even eat Chinese food? The first way to eat Chinese food is to use chopsticks. Chopsticks are originally Chinese culture and civilized behavior. I go to the United States and occasionally eat their Western food. As soon as they serve the Western food, I say, "Bring me chopsticks, please."

"They asked me: "We use knives and forks to eat Western food, why do you use chopsticks? "I said chopsticks are a symbol of civilization, but your knives and forks are a symbol of barbarism, so I don't use them. Chopsticks can cut, fork, peel, pinch, and poke. They can do anything, but your knives and forks are extremely heavy. , like a murderous weapon. (Applause) If a student wants to eat roasted chicken, I say yes. If he says he wants fried chicken, I will beat him up. If he says he wants to eat bread with fermented bean curd, that’s okay, but he says “hamburger.” "But you can't. You can eat bunkers, but you can't eat "hamburgers." This is China's national spiritual education! Foreign countries only have better machines and guns than us, can their food be compared with China's? Eating foreigners' food is just a What a shame!

Our school’s English teaching is the best in Taiwan. I hired two teachers from the United States to teach my students foreign languages. They must study in the United States, but my words are printed on the first page of the textbooks they study: "It is a national humiliation for the Chinese to learn English, and learning English is the most tragic behavior for China, but we cannot stop learning, because Others have surpassed us, and the enemy's guns and science have overwhelmed us. Today we must learn their science before we can defeat them! surpass them! We must use barbarians to fight barbarians! You must learn English well, so learn English with all your heart! (Applause) The purpose of learning English is not to wash dishes and toilets in the United States, to serve foreigners, or to do things that would disgrace eight generations of our ancestors! "(Applause) Therefore, my students learn English very well. If an English teacher says as soon as the class begins: "Students, we are going to learn English today." English is a world language and the most beautiful language in the world! A nation that cannot speak English is an inferior nation. English is so beautiful! marvelous! "Do you think this teacher should be spanked? So I always tell these teachers: "Teach my students well. Don't promote foreigners and become traitors!" We must tell students that this is the hope of the Chinese people to avenge a powerful country and defeat the great powers (applause)!

Don’t you also have English teachers here? Won’t students in the foreign language department also teach English in the future? Before class, you should educate students about patriotism and learning English. Don’t come up and brag for foreign countries. Don’t think that evangelists only teach the way of English and teach English skills, but they should teach patriotism and teach English skills. .

Okay, students understand these principles, the next step is to know that our education today is a failure. Because, we have been taught wrongly since childhood. Therefore, we must carry out moral education that is altruistic and beneficial to the group by pursuing knowledge for the country and learning skills for social division of labor. Everyone must first think about why you are studying and who you are studying for? You should reflect on this. Some people might say, study to find a job for yourself! How despicable and insignificant this is, how boring and pathetic! You should never live just to find a job! It’s so easy to find a job to eat! Take a knife and stab someone casually, and you will definitely have food for the rest of your life, and there will be people to serve you, cook for you, stand guard for you while you sleep, and your things will be indispensable! Wouldn’t that solve the problem of eating? Why don't you do it? Because I told you, you must learn survival skills and understand the meaning and value of life. There is no place to create human value! Therefore, we must know that reading is definitely not for ourselves. Reading is for the sake of the country. Therefore, we must tell children to study and set a direction when doing things: "Do what you should do first, and then do what you like to do." .

There is no reason why many people read for fun! What is the interest in reading? The real goal should not be interest, but responsibility. Interest cannot be used to replace responsibility. Doing bright things is moral education. We study for the sake of the country. Students, think about what kind of education you received since you were a child. How did your parents teach you this? Study hard! If you don't study hard, you won't be able to get ahead in the future. You must work hard and study hard to have a future. Studying is for your happiness, and studying is for your future! Reading is all for you! You grew up under this kind of education. This is the most wrong education! This is the worst education! So when children grow up, they will know, aha, reading is for me, it has nothing to do with anyone, it is for my future, for my future, for my hope. Do you think there is still hope for this country? It has nothing to do with the country! He drank the country's milk, used the country's taxpayers' money, and used the people's anointing to cultivate a selfish child and a group of selfish teachers. Do you think this country will have a future? You are reading in the wrong direction.

Studying is not for yourself, reading is for our country. The country needs talents, the country needs cadres, and the country needs the pillars of the country. Why did the country train you? Is this owed to you? Can you eat the country's food for free? Do you want to enjoy the dormitories and restaurants here and enjoy the knowledge imparted to you by teachers in vain? Why are you? What contribution have you made to the country? What contribution do you make to society? What's the sacrifice? You have nothing, you are just a excrement-making machine. You have enough to eat every day and have nothing to do. What contribution do you make to the country? The country is looking forward to your contribution and your future, because one day you will grow up, one day you will learn, and you will do things for the country, so the country invests in you and lets you do things for the country. , so the country invests in you and lets you serve the country.

Because moral education must be based on national education, today we must love our country.

It just so happens that you are studying at the Normal University. In three or four years, you will train successors who will cross the century. You have a greater responsibility than anyone else. If you don’t have a national concept and you are not patriotic, how can you ask your students to be patriotic? So today’s teachers are the most important. This is the reason why I run around and instill patriotic ideas in the normal school! You are patriotic. Students are naturally patriotic! If you are not patriotic, complain every day, want to change careers every day, and want to go to sea every day, then what hope does the next generation have? Especially those who study English, they always want to study hard. How embarrassing it would be to be a translator for which boss or chairman of any company in the future! What a lack of personality and generosity! (Applause)

What I particularly emphasize here is the national concept.

I often tell a story to my students: "We were traveling one day, and suddenly a storm came. We had no place to take shelter from the wind and rain. The children ran forward, and saw a straw shed in front of them. Everyone rushed in, and as soon as they rushed in, the heavy rain came. Everyone was so happy, "Wow, I'm lucky today. I just found a house and the heavy rain came." So happy! "Everyone doesn't worry about whether the house is clean or whether anyone has lived in it. As long as there is a place to take shelter from the rain, they are satisfied. But this house suddenly collapsed in the wind and rain, and the students tried their best to hold it together and not let it collapse." "The house collapsed".

In this case, I am very emotional. Students, do you think we need the house, or does the house need us? (Applause) I think it is we who need this house. . This house is our country. No matter how shabby it is, it is our home. No matter how poor it is, it is our home. (Applause) How can you envy foreigners? What a great outsider! I don’t want to be Chinese, I want to be a foreigner! "That's not right. Our country is not as good as others, we admit it, but we are determined, and we will slowly improve it, but we must sacrifice ourselves and have the concept of loving the country. Everyone is cutting down the country and eating the country , Take the country, how can this country be good? If everyone is corrupt, how can this country be good?

There is a "Everyone Takes" in China, no matter how big the country is, it will be good. You have made me poor. (Applause) Wherever I go, I will never entertain you. I will eat by myself. I will pay for my ride in your car, pay for your hotel, and eat your food. Food money will never touch the country. I just want to show you an example!

What is patriotism? It is when we give things, money and life to the country. This is called patriotism. You always take things from the country home, what is this called patriotism? Some people steal and take things from the country with gusto, and they do it with arrogance and no shame. How is this possible? (Applause)

Someone said: "Teacher, you asked me to be patriotic. I can be patriotic, but where is the country?" I can't find it! "You don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because you are in this mountain. You are in the country and don't know where the country is. As a teacher, the country is the students in front of you. When you stand on the podium, the students below are your country. Find It’s easier for the country. Today I stop here. The 1,500 people below are my country. I must do my best to you and have an enlightening and influencing effect. You are my country. I love you and I am patriotic. What I convey to you is patriotism! (Applause) Then when you stand in front of your students, that is your country. You cannot waste their time and their lives. You must cultivate the next generation for the country. If you give him this kind of patriotic thought, you are a patriot. If you don't give it to him, you are unpatriotic and you are a traitor! (Applause)

Students, you will also have the opportunity to study abroad in the future. Note, don't let yourself lose the face of the Chinese people. Don't go back and you will lose the face of the Chinese people! They will say: "Look, these international students have no sense of nationality." None, these little subjugated slaves! "How can people think highly of you? This is shameful and embarrassing. The country is very important to us. You don't know the importance of the "motherland" when you go abroad. A person without a country has a weak country. People are so pitiful! So sad! Therefore, we Chinese today must be self-reliant and self-loving. We must know how to love our country. If the country is not strong, what is the use of having money? What's the use? You will never be respected. 1. Responsibility and Love

What is responsibility? The political book says: "What we should do and what we should not do is our responsibility. "And what are the things we should and should not do?

What is love? Gibran asked people passing by in front of the temple and learned that the love of a happy person is joyful and beautiful, and the love of a happy person is joyful and beautiful. The love of the traveler in the form is sad and vague, but he is willing to bear the heat of love. But what is love?

Responsibility, love, are you friends, lovers, or not? A stranger without distinction?

It’s still hard to forget that touching story.

On the entrustment of the group leader, John Shamei gave away his seven or eight-year-old daughter. Returning to France. The responsibility has fallen on his shoulders! He wants to make the leader's daughter Suzanne happy, just along the way.

Shamei told her all his beautiful or interesting past events, as well as the story of the golden rose: "Everyone who gets the golden rose will be happy for a lifetime." And that silly promise! - "You will always be happy." You will meet such a weirdo and give you a golden rose."

Confession and promise, Shamei didn't know that he had fallen into such a vortex: only the person you love will hear this! And you also. Unable to extricate myself, I just kept repeating: "I told you my heart, I dedicated my heart to you..."

Parting and separation. When Shamei and Suzanne met again, Suzanne was a melancholy girl, and Shamei was a cleaner who smelled of rats.

The passage of time cannot erase your friendship for her, nor can it eliminate the responsibility you will always bear: "Give her happiness."

At that time of separation, Shamei realized that he was the only one Only then would he give Suzanne the golden rose. He worked hard day and night to collect gold powder from the dust of the jewelry workshop. Countless years passed, and Shamei became hideous and hateful, but no one understood his soft heart. He wanted to give the newly made Golden Rose to Suzanne, but Suzanne left.

Is Shamei relaxed? Or crashed? It's illness. He passed away with Golden Rose in his arms, and his painful but beautiful face was filled with guilt? Or sad?

The ending leaves only one sentence to future generations: "What life has not given, death has compensated for it."

Responsibility is so frivolous, and those who benefit will never feel it. Existence, from the joys and sorrows of oneself every day, to the reunions and farewells year after year, longing for the happiness of the next moment and looking forward to the harvest of the next year, but left him, the bearer of responsibilities, in the cold.

Responsibility stems from that small promise, but it also paved the way for its importance and greatness. You have to take this responsibility! You have to live up to your heart! So, what about it? You must dedicate yourself. If I want you to get home safely, how can I make you feel lonely on the way? Your sadness will be a spur to me, so I still want to make you happy, and I still want to make you happy.

In this way, the bearers bear more. But don't deny it, this is love, and it has sunk in and cannot extricate itself.

Love will never be lost, because there are thousands of people in this world who are willing to take responsibility. Everyone thinks that way and discovers the tenderness that has been suppressed and distorted for years or decades. , enthusiasm and love.

All people foolishly cultivate a piece of land for others and the world, and this in itself is a kind of harvest.

Love transforms everyone, until in the end, all love transforms itself into hope. The love of life is transformed into a brave heart that takes responsibility.

That’s probably it. Responsibility and love go hand in hand to decorate life and the world, making the world more beautiful.

We are wandering among them, both reapers and sowers.

2. Responsibility

British Prince Charles once said: "There are many things in this world that you have to do. This is responsibility."

Responsibility is not a sweet word, it is only as cold as a rock. When a person truly becomes a member of society, responsibility as an adult gift has been unknowingly placed on his shoulders. It is a child that you always have to give everything to care for, and what it gives you is , often just the pain felt in the soul and body. Why should we bear such a cross? Because what it ultimately brings you is the treasure of mankind - the greatness of personality.

An Italian immigrant in the United States in the early 20th century wrote a brilliant and glorious chapter in the history of human spirituality. His name was Frank, and after hard savings, he opened a small bank. But a bank robbery led to his extraordinary experience. He went bankrupt and savers lost their savings. When he started from scratch with a wife and four children, he decided to repay the astronomical sum of money. Everyone advised him: "Why did you do this? You are not responsible for this." But he replied: "Yes, legally I have no responsibility, but morally, I have a responsibility, and I should Pay back the money."

The price of repayment was thirty-nine years of hard life. When he sent the last "debt", he sighed: "Now I am finally debt-free." He used. A lifetime of hard work and sweat fulfilled his responsibilities and left a real wealth to the world.

The existence of responsibility is a test left by God to the world. Many people fail to pass this test and escape. Many endured it and put on themselves the crown of thorns. The people who escaped disappeared over time, leaving no trace in the world. Those who endure it will also pass away, but they still live, and their spirit makes them immortal.

We all know that child who refuses to go home even after dark and stands on the roadside crying. Because he had to stand guard, the other children had already dispersed, but he was willing to stand and cry in order to stick to his post, because it was his responsibility.

May all our children have such a heart, where responsibility grows from an early age.

May all of us carry a sense of responsibility on the road to life, and let life exude a light, golden brilliance.

3. Responsibility

When everyone enters society, they play different roles and bear certain responsibilities on their shoulders. Everyone in society tries their best to fulfill their responsibilities.

This can make this society perfect, stable and harmonious. The responsibility of soldiers is to protect their families and the country, the responsibility of doctors is to save lives and heal the wounded, and the responsibility of parents is to nurture their children... So what should be the responsibilities of primary school students? The responsibility of primary school students is to read well. Only by studying seriously can you build the motherland when you grow up. Talking about responsibility reminds me of something that happened in the second grade.

After school that day, my good friend invited me to play. At first, I shook my head like a rattle and told him that I had to go home and do my homework. Later, I couldn't resist his temptation, so I followed him to play. I played until about five o'clock. I hurriedly picked up my schoolbag and ran home. When I got home, I had a second thought: I didn’t have much homework anyway, so I might as well go back to work at night and enjoy the TV for a while first! Then, I watched TV with relish, immersed in the joy that TV brought me, and forgot about homework. When it was time to eat, I remembered that I hadn't finished my homework at all, so I took a few bites of rice and went to do my homework.

But I had just finished writing a little, and when I looked up at the clock, it was half past nine. I want to finish my homework quickly, but I can't get enough energy. Finally, I couldn't bear the sleepiness and fell asleep on the table. On the second day, the teacher came to check the homework. I was behind on my homework and stood in front of the teacher, hesitating and speechless. The teacher said to me sincerely: "Everyone has his own responsibility. My responsibility is to teach and educate people. We must be responsible people. Responsible people are popular, and irresponsible people cannot gain a foothold in society." "You can't do this again, never again!" I nodded in understanding. Looking back now, what the teacher said makes sense.

The teacher’s few words conveyed a profound truth and made me clear what a student should do, so that I would never miss learning due to playfulness. I remember the teacher's teachings deeply in my heart. It taught me that I must learn to be responsible and do my best to do my part. A person's attitude towards responsibility reflects his character and outlook on life, and also determines his future. This truth will benefit me throughout my life.
