Reading to Recharge (23) - "First-Line Praise Learning"

1. Before Araki became famous, he participated in a photography competition. Nobuyoshi Araki, who made it to the finals, got a very frustrating question: Please take a picture of an African cockroach. To show the beauty of the African cockroach, the work must not use other tools.

The thick black legs of the cockroach scratched the table, making a squeaking sound. On the hard back shell, there were several black and gray stripes without any luster, like abscesses, unevenly distributed on the surface. On the back of the camera, after searching for a long time, Araki could not find an angle that was even "unsatisfactory" and could produce some "beautiful" photos. Araki was about to take off the camera in disappointment and was about to give up the game. Suddenly, the African cockroach spread its wings and flew up. The colorful thin wings set off the black and gray back shell are simply works of art. Araki quickly pressed the shutter and named it "Invisible Beauty".

No matter how ugly the African cockroach is, it still has its natural beauty. However, without persistent waiting, Araki would not have seen the moment when the cockroach spread its wings, nor would he have won the championship. Between "looking for beauty" and "discovering beauty", we must firmly believe in the existence of "beauty", even if it is an ugly cockroach.

2. Zheng Yuanjie, the king of fairy tales, once said that the best "elixir of life" for children is to "praise others." If a person learns to sincerely "praise others", his life will be more happy and less troublesome. Isn’t this what people want in this life?

3. Mr. Hei Youlong, the father of Carnegie Taiwan, said:

You often criticize students, and the impact they receive is "criticism"; you are often patient, tolerant of students, and praise them Students, in fact, this is already the best education.

4. Material rewards are not the purpose, the purpose is the affirmation behind it. Rewards for praise include food, things to use, and things to read, as well as "privileges". Just keep an eye out for new bonus content, items will keep popping up.

When living conditions improve, if you put a candy at home, your children may not even touch it. In the hands of the teacher, the candy has magic power and a different taste, which deeply attracts the students.

The candy got into the hands of Teacher Guan and became the favorite treasure of the children. There are a lot of candies in our office, which are given to colleagues when they get married or have children. No one ate it and didn't bother to take it home. Now they are collected and given to Teacher Guan. Once they are in Teacher Guan’s hands, they will be put to good use and turned into treasure.

This is the best gift I have ever received from a parent.

5. For children, taking a photo with the teacher is a very honorable thing. This trick can also be used in extracurricular reading. Students who have read 500,000 words in one month will take a group photo with the teacher; students who have read 1 million words in a month will take a group photo with the teacher individually. You can also do this, after reading 10 extracurricular books, take a photo with the Chinese teacher; after reading 30 books, take a photo with the Chinese, mathematics, and English teachers; after reading 50 books, take a photo with the class teacher and dean. After reading 75 books, take a photo with the vice-principal; after reading 100 books, take a photo with the principal.

Taking a photo with the teacher is very charming.
