2018.05.08 "Strive hard enough to be powerless, fight hard enough to move yourself" reading notes

? "Strive until you are powerless, persist until you are moved." This is a sentence said by the famous entrepreneur Yang Shitou in "Jobs and Jobs". This sentence ignited with a fiery power. People's passion.

? The author of this book is Mu Mu. The book covers eight chapters, in order: hard work, struggle, new year, wolf nature, persistence, courage, tolerance, and resistance to setbacks. The two sentences that struck me most deeply in the first chapter are: Children without umbrellas must run harder! Hard work is your lifelong talisman. When I saw these two sentences, I remembered what my cousin said in high school: "I am a child of a farm family, and I have no choice but to struggle." This sentence inspired my cousin to work unremittingly in high school and college. Finally, with excellent grades and good professional basic skills, she entered a hospital in Guangdong and became a trainee nurse. In just a few years, my cousin went from being an intern to the position of head nurse. One can imagine how much hard work and sweat my cousin has put into these past few years. I also have deep feelings about these two sentences! Newton once said: "No matter what you do, as long as you work hard, you can achieve it!" Be a hard-working person and leave your destiny to yourself, and good luck will come naturally.

In terms of my own experience: I returned to Nanyang from Kaifeng after graduating from college in 2010, and successively worked as a tour guide, hotel translator, supermarket cashier, and car 4S store accountant. I lived such a busy and fulfilling life until I had a child. I felt that I couldn't change jobs like this. I needed a stable job to make it easier to take care of my children! My father is a retired teacher, and my family members also persuaded me to take the exam to recruit teachers. I personally do not reject the teaching profession. I think being a teacher is a conscientious job and one should have a clear conscience! So I made up my mind to take the exam to teach and try my best to give it a try. When school started in early September 2014, urban schools were recruiting substitute teachers, and I actively participated in trial teaching. Finally, I applied to teach mathematics in a primary school and also served as the class teacher. Teachers in urban schools have a strong sense of teamwork. There are excellent teachers who provide regular guidance classes at the beginning of the semester, high-quality classes and micro classes in the middle of the semester, and review guidance classes near the end of the semester. The various types of classes are rich and eye-opening. Seeing so many outstanding teachers still working so hard strengthened my belief that I must pass the exam. Every day when there is no class, I go to the classroom with my notebook and listen to other teachers' lectures. After class, I ask what I don't understand. They are very enthusiastic. As long as I ask them, they all know everything and they can tell me everything. I really Thank you very much for their candor. In order to get better results in the written examination, I went to a nearby university with two other substitute teachers to take a written examination training class, and we had classes all day on Saturdays and Sundays. In this way, I complete various tasks step by step at school from Monday to Friday. On weekends, I go to the classroom very early every morning to occupy a seat and try my best to sit in the front row. After school in the afternoon, I endorsed and made outlines in the school's study room. A year ago, I listed the outlines of the teaching materials on education and educational psychology three times, and reviewed them carefully over and over again. How many times have I woke up from my sleep and recited: "The father of education is the Czech educator Comenius..." Rubbing my hazy sleepy eyes and seeing the sleeping children next to me, I secretly told myself: I must do this. Work hard! During the winter vacation and summer vacation, I go to the school's grove very early every day to memorize. When I'm tired, I find a classroom to do the exercises. The learning process is painful, and the painful thing is that the child always cries loudly when leaving home every morning and is reluctant to leave. The process of learning is also a happy one. In the ocean of knowledge, I learned knowledge that I didn’t know before. This is something that makes me happy.

When I entered the examination room for the written examination, I was very calm, always thinking in my heart: the pain you endure will become a gift in the future. So I calmed down and worked on the questions with peace of mind. After finishing the written test and leaving the examination room, I took a deep breath and finally got over it.

It took two days for the written test results to come out before the interview. During these two days, some people hesitated: Can I pass the written test? What should I do if I get poor grades in the first test? Just then I saw an article: Please turn off your waiting-to-die mode!

When a person's cost of waiting and procrastination is much higher than the cost of actually taking action, he will slowly fall into a vicious cycle of waiting and not taking action. We call this mode "waiting to die mode". Instead of consuming your mental and physical energy in waiting-to-die mode, you might as well give it a try! Once you're stuck in death mode, your best option is to take action and enter time travel mode!

? Inspired by this article and the encouragement from my family, friends and colleagues, I calmed down, didn’t think about anything, and tried my best to prepare for the interview. The principal personally explained how to stand out in the simulated class, teaching us to pay attention to technical language, to have a confident and sunny mental state, and to learn to magnify our own advantages and highlight our personal charm. They also teach us how to deal with emergencies in the examination room, etc. I recorded all the knowledge taught by the principal in a notebook and studied it one by one when I got home. A teacher spent two days going over all the knowledge in the second volume of fifth-grade mathematics. During the day, I used notes to write down how to introduce, how to ask questions, and how to use appropriate connecting words. When I get home in the evening, I write down the knowledge I learned during the day into a lesson plan and organize it with my own ideas! Cohesive words and gestures are marked with pens of different colors, and every sentence to be said is written out in pen. The girls I study with are all born in the 1990s. They are full of energy and have no pressure. But as a mother of a child, I also need to deal with trivial matters at home. I can't compare with them in terms of mental and energy. During the trial lectures, they were very bold, but I could never find my groove. Fortunately, a friend encouraged me: "Everyone's teaching style is different. There is no need to envy others. If you find your own strengths and amplify them, you will be able to teach well." She said that I have strong control over the classroom, I am familiar with the knowledge points, and I can speak in a rhythmic manner, but my body language is not rich enough and it feels a bit rigid. This friend taught me how to use gestures to praise individuals and groups. He personally corrected my gestures and made me practice them over and over in front of the mirror. After practicing more times, I can find the feeling. My friend still teaches me patiently and without reservation!

? On the morning of the interview, my friend took me to put on makeup and waited for me outside the examination room. I was the second trial lecturer in the afternoon session. I was not nervous at all during the lecture. I regarded the judges as my friends and lectured attentively! When the results came out, my relatives told me that I had passed the exam and my interview score was over 90 points. , the top few. Hearing this news, I shed tears of excitement! There were more than 200 people participating in the interview, and only a few people scored above 90 points, but I did it!

? Thanks to everyone who selflessly helped me throughout the whole process! In September 2015, I was assigned to a middle school in a township school in Wolong District to teach Chinese!

Indeed, the harder you work, the luckier you get! Hard work is a lifelong talisman!

? I would like to be a down-to-earth and grateful person! In the future, I will also lead my students, guide them to learn to get what they want through hard work, and warn them that knowledge is important, and being a person is more important!
