In ancient Europe, when he died, a man found himself in a wonderful place where he could enjoy everything. As soon as he stepped into the promised land, a waiter-like man came up to him and asked him, "sir, do you need anything?" Here you can have everything you want-all delicious food, all possible entertainment and all kinds of pastimes, including many beautiful women, which you can enjoy. "
Hearing this, the man felt a little surprised, but very happy. He secretly rejoiced: Isn't this my dream in this world? All day, he was tasting delicious food and enjoying the beautiful scenery. One day, however, he was tired of all this, so he said to the waiter, "I'm tired of all this." I need to do something. " Can you give me a job? "
Unexpectedly, the answer he got was shaking his head: "Sorry, honey, this is the only thing we can't do for you here." There is no job for you here. " Men are depressed. He waved his hands angrily and said, "This is terrible! Then I will stay in hell! "
"Where do you think you are now?" The waiter said gently.
Rockefeller, an American oil giant, quoted this intriguing fable in his letter to his son. At the end of this letter, Rockefeller said earnestly: John, if you regard work as a pleasure, life is heaven; If you take work as an obligation, people are hell.
After reading this letter, I can't help thinking of a new book, Dedication, which I often read recently. This letter just confirms some viewpoints in the book, and the two can be described as matching each other. The book believes that the reason why the United States has a vibrant and vigorous market economy spirit is because of the professional spirit of taking occupation as the first duty, which is born out of the Protestant moral concept.
From 65438 to 0904, the great German philosopher Max Weber visited the United States and found that the American economy was very prosperous. He found that there must be an invisible spiritual power behind any career. The teachings of Protestants who fled from Europe to the United States, as an enterprising, diligent and dedicated spiritual force, have effectively promoted the vigorous development of the American economy. The core doctrine of this Protestantism is that the only way of life promised by God is not that man transcends secular morality with ascetic asceticism, but that man should fulfill his responsibilities and obligations given by his position in this world, which is his unshirkable responsibility. Protestantism in the United States claims that any human occupation is as sacred as the clergy. It is argued that people must regard occupation as the purpose, mission and value of life, and must make every effort to fulfill the secular responsibilities entrusted by God. Not only that, Protestantism also affirmed the profit-making work, thinking that earning wealth itself is doing its duty and completely glorifying God. As Mr. Robbins, the author of Dedication, said, occupation is a task arranged by God. We should believe in our profession as much as we believe in God, and love our work as much as we love our life.
The book "Dedication" is divided into eight chapters, which respectively discuss why and how to contribute. Mr Robbins revealed a simple fact in plain language. "Dedication" and Rockefeller's letter to his son do have the same effect. The book tells us that the value of life lies in occupation, and occupation is the display of life. First of all, love a line and do a line. Once you choose a career that you are really interested in, you can always be energetic and go all out to work. If you can't find a job you love, you should "do one thing and love one thing", because the present job is also arranged by the creator. The value of a person's life basically lies in his success and achievements in his career, so he must make career planning. After choosing a career, you must love your job. Success depends on people's enthusiasm rather than talent. Franklin's life course from an apprentice to a founding father of a printing factory has no other explanation except his sense of mission and enthusiasm. Restraint and frugality are the basis of professionalism, and profiting from professionalism is the cornerstone of modern professionalism. Self-realization depends on your occupation. There are many things more important than salary at work, such as developing one's own ability, increasing one's social experience and enhancing one's personality charm. Ability is ten thousand times more important than money, because it can't be stolen. People envy those excellent people for their creativity, decision-making ability and keen insight, but they don't have this talent from the beginning, but they accumulate and learn through long-term work.
In fact, our traditional culture in China has many similarities with it, such as "interest is the best teacher", "no pains, no gains" and "no pains, no gains". Zhou Xiaozheng, a famous sociologist and director of the Institute of Social Studies of China Renmin University, said in the preface: "Dedication" is well written and can be used as one of the folk belief systems to satisfy our spiritual home in China.
After reading Mr. Liang Qichao's Dedication and Happiness, I deeply thought about life.
A person's life is short. Some people idle away their time, while others live an empty life. This is all because the former is unemployed and the latter is employed. Although we studied hard at the beginning, weren't we much happier than those who were unemployed? After all, we are people with jobs-studying. And this door industry is also a vital door industry in life. Only by being kind to this door industry can we achieve something and make our life more beautiful and colorful!
So how can we treat this door industry well? This is naturally related to the word "dedication and happiness" put forward by Mr. Liang Qichao.
When a person has a job, the most basic thing is to be dedicated. Dedication has two meanings: one is to respect my work and be proud of it; The second is to study and discuss in depth and strive for continuous improvement. We should also look at our study in this way, because we are studying, we should be proud of it when we study, and we should also have the energy to study. This process is happy and proud, of course, some people will say it is bitter. But isn't it hard to accomplish nothing in school all day? It happened that this kind of person is the most painful in life. Because they are happy in name, but bitter in heart, which is just the opposite of those who admire this cause.
Of course, we should not only be dedicated, but also be happy. Because "being a teacher", as Confucius said, "knowing is not as good as being kind, and being kind is not as good as being happy." Only by loving it can we do this business better. Therefore, we should not always think that learning is difficult and bitter, because it will make us study harder, without any good consequences, and we are full of dissatisfaction.
Finally, I want to end with a sentence from Dedication and Happiness: Dedication and Happiness are the only way for human life.
After reading Liang Qichao's Dedication and Happiness, I have a clearer understanding of the importance of Dedication and Happiness. However, under the premise of "dedication and happiness", there must be a career. Without it, there would be no "dedication and happiness". Without it, there is no so-called "happiness"!
In Liang Qichao's speech, just discuss the relationship between "dedication" and "happiness". The content of "karma" is very extensive and cannot be limited to a certain occupation. It should also include any valuable occupation we engage in in our life. Adults' career is "career", students' learning is "career", defending the country is also "career", helping others or "career" and so on.
Among them, "Dedication" wrote: "If the Lord is at a loss, he will show respect." That's a quote from Zhu, which really made me realize that whenever I do something and concentrate all my energy on it, that's the so-called respect. So our loyalty to study as students is also a manifestation of so-called respect? The next sentence, "Because of one's own talent and situation, doing a job to the extreme is the first class between heaven and earth", reminds me of such a "first class between heaven and earth"-a cleaner who gets up in the dark every morning and is not afraid of hardship and fatigue, and always performs his duties conscientiously with hot pillow. This down-to-earth and dedicated professionalism is worth learning from each of us.
Behind the dedication is the function of happiness. Some people say that "the work is very hard". Isn't it hard not to work? A person's life is not all bitter before sweet; Some are sweet first and then bitter, and most of them are unemployed. Their lives are more miserable and more painful. Hard work, no work is hard work, and hard work is always inevitable. It should be noted that both pain and happiness are subjective, not objective. Here, Tang Zuo, if you ask me if studying is hard, I will definitely say it is, but all careers are interesting. As long as you are willing to continue to do it, fun will naturally occur. Confucius said, "The knower is not as good as the good, and the good is not as happy as the knower." Life is valuable only if you can enjoy your career. This is happiness, the ideal life of human beings.
After reading this article, I benefited a lot, which made me understand that "dedication and happiness" is not a mandatory provision, but a way and channel for a person to realize the value of life.
After watching Dedication and Happiness, I felt it. The ancients said, "All trades come first, and all evils and laziness come first". It means to have a career in life. If there is no career, there is no respect and coke. The article also quoted a sentence from Sun Tzu: "It's hard to eat all day long without heart!" What he means is that a person is full all day, but refuses to do things with his brain; In his mind, there is no one who can't teach. Wei You shook his head and sighed at such a lazy person: "Difficult, difficult!" It can be seen that all the problems in life can be cured by medicine, and there are unemployed people. Although the Great Sage touched him, he was helpless, which shows that everyone should have a legitimate career. When a person has a job, he can not only contribute to the society and enrich his life, but also solve his own survival problem. A lazy person who has not worked for a long time and has no income may beg and lose his dignity. He may also do something bad for the people, and he will certainly be unhappy all the time. In short, in life, he has to work every day. Work is a virtue, and not working is a virtue.
With the continuous development of various industries in today's society, the requirements of all units for staff are getting higher and higher. It is difficult to find a job, and it is even more difficult to find a satisfactory good job. When you choose a career, what kind of attitude will you face this job? Confucius said, "I don't want to stay out of it." As long as it is a legitimate industry, don't care about a profession or position. If you choose right away, you must rely on your own talent to work hard, do your best and be the best worker.
Dedication, (Reading Notes) What is Dedication? "If the Lord is at a loss, he is respectful." Whoever does one thing is loyal to one thing, and he will concentrate all his energy on it. If he doesn't step aside at all, he is respectful. Some people with low positions think that my job is not a good job, with low salary and no future. Take it one day at a time! What is respectable? In fact, all the work is respectable. Just like my previous unit, although the company was very small, with only a dozen people, everyone worked hard and went to work for seven hours normally. However, if you find today's task difficult to complete, you will continue to work during the break. Although you are miserable, you are happy to think about the result every day, so no matter what you do, you should concentrate on everything. How can we do one thing best? The only secret is loyalty, and loyalty comes from psychology, which is respect.
Happy, "work is hard", I believe everyone who comes out to work has said, "work is hard, don't you work hard?" On the other hand, if you go gambling and drinking, it's as hard as it is, as hard as it is, isn't it bitter? It should be noted that all emotions are subjective and objective. From birth to death, you can't put your limbs and five senses aside except sleeping. As long as you use them, you are either exhausted or laborious, and hard work is always inevitable. Therefore, to do anything, we must have the responsibility and loyalty to complete everything. You should always tell yourself that you want to be the best, I am the strongest, and at the same time, you should continue to enjoy the fun at work. Only in this way can life be valuable. Some people complain about their work, some things can't be done, but they don't want to do it when they are full. If they don't want to do it, they can't escape. Doing it with a sad face is completely different from doing it with a happy face. Every job will be interesting. As long as you do it with an optimistic attitude, fun will naturally happen. Sun Tzu said, "Knowing is not as good as being kind, and being kind is not as good as being happy." It means that people who know are not as good as those who love to do, and those who love to do are not as good as those who are willing to do.
After reading this article, I feel that no matter what I do, I should seize the opportunity and overcome the difficulties, and don't give up just because I encounter some problems in my work. I should do the hardest thing with my heart and be optimistic. Perseverance is tenacious. Perseverance should be produced through goals and achieved through perseverance. Only by hard work, persistence and persistence can we achieve final success.
Reflections on Dedication 5 Dedication and Happiness was a speech by Mr. Liang Qichao to his students in Shanghai. Let me talk about my understanding of the words respect and joy.
Let's talk about dedication first. What is dedication? That is, if you do something, you will be loyal to it, and you will concentrate all your energy on it. This is respect. Many low-level staff may think that my work is so low-level, what is worthy of respect? In fact, all the work is respectable, so we should concentrate on doing it well. Whether you are the president or a migrant worker, you are respectable. If which nation is the most dedicated? Then I will think it is Germany. Why? Because Germans will focus on what they do and do it to the end. For example. Why can Beethoven make such good music when he is deaf? Because of its dedication. In fact, you can give a better example. Why does a thing become more exquisite and its quality will be much better after being processed in Germany? This is because the Germans respect this.
Let's talk about the music industry. As for his idea, I think it is the sentence written in the book: "Knowing is not as good as being kind, and being kind is not as good as being happy." Enough to explain. If we can't get happiness, then life will become monotonous. If someone says that there is no place for coke in my career. Then there is a very monotonous person. Because all occupations will have coke, but it is not easy to be found, and many people don't know how to enjoy it. Zidane is a master of French football art. He has achieved such high achievements, neither brought by his family nor better than other athletes. The reason is that he regards football as his pleasure, so no matter how difficult the conditions are, Zidane always enjoys it, revels in the football world and eventually becomes a talented football player. It can be seen that happiness can change people's destiny and achieve people's dreams.
Dedication and happiness are important. With them, life will become more exciting and the world will become better. composition
Reflections on Dedication 6 "Dedication and Happiness" is a speech given by Mr. Liang Qichao to students in Shanghai China Vocational School on 19 12. The author closely follows the theme of "dedication and happiness", carefully selects materials, quotes extensively, makes thorough reasoning, and uses elegant, standardized and popular language to show his superb speech level. After teaching, I was deeply touched. The author of this paper is knowledgeable and has profound attainments in politics, economy, philosophy, history, language and religion. The purpose of that speech is to let students know how to treat their future life. What kind of attitude should an energetic young man face to his work? When you choose this career, do you have to pay for it? We have been working for a living, in fact, we are also living for labor. No matter what you do, in a certain position, things and names will have size and height; But there is no difference between high and low in essence. Without any link in the operation of things, the chain will fall off. Therefore, no matter what job you get, you should treat it wholeheartedly. As long as you feel good about yourself, others look good. Therefore, if you want to have a bright future, you must be dedicated and happy, and you must not be lazy. Let me talk about my understanding of the words "dedication" and "happiness".
What is dedication? That is, if you do one thing, you will be loyal to one thing and concentrate all your energy on it. This is respect. In social life, there is always a job before a job, and the right job can make you feel at ease. When I was a child, my father once said to me, "Everything should be the same." This sentence is actually a kind of respect. As a teacher, loving a post means that a person loves his career and his post. Teachers' love for their posts is their love for education, which is reflected in their love for work and students. Loving work means respecting and cherishing one's own choices, and showing one's faith, attitude and determination to devote oneself wholeheartedly to education and not regret pursuing it; A person who loves education will feel the significance and value of education and teaching to life, the rhythm and vitality of life, the joy and happiness of life, and capture the brilliance and brilliance of life. Students are the sustenance of life, platform is the stage of life, and teaching is the source of life. Dedication refers to a person's sense of mission and responsibility for work. Teachers' professionalism is a strong sense of mission and responsibility for the development of national education and the growth of students, which is reflected in being serious and responsible for education and teaching, being meticulous, striving for perfection, being enthusiastic about students, loving their posts and being dedicated to their work, and being meticulous. In education and teaching activities, it is manifested in preparing lessons carefully, correcting homework seriously, and tutoring every student seriously, without perfunctory responsibilities; It is also manifested in the eager attention to students, the scientific design and effective practice of education and teaching; Dedication is more a reflection of attitude and behavior. They are interrelated and promote each other, which makes teachers become a happy person and a person with work performance in the practice of loving their posts and dedication.
Let's talk about the music industry. Explain with the words written in the book: "Knowing is not as good as being kind, and being kind is not as good as being happy." If we can't get happiness, then life will become monotonous. If someone says that there is no place for coke in my career. Then there is a very monotonous person. Because all occupations will have coke, but it is not easy to be found, and many people don't know how to enjoy it. Education is a cause of transmitting love with love and lighting fire with fire, so teachers need to be happy. In our work and life, there are joys, gains, losses and puzzles ... all kinds of tastes constitute our rich life experience. In education and teaching, teachers' passion for work fun invisibly infects groups of students, making them optimistic and healthy, and becoming talents with good momentum. Life is valuable only when you can appreciate interest in your career. I remember Confucius once described his life like this, saying, "He is also a human being. He was angry and forgot to eat. He was happy and forgot his troubles. He doesn't know that his old age is coming. " Only when teachers are happy can they be full of passion and motivation in their work, devote themselves to the great cause of education, find happiness from fatigue and taste the joy of success from happiness.
No matter whether I do well or not, I think professionalism and happiness are very important. After reading Liang Qichao's article Dedication and Happiness, I feel the importance of being a good teacher. I think we must cherish everything we have. Experience happiness from your career and taste life from happiness! Dedication and happiness are important. With them, life will become more exciting and the world will become better.
Reflections on Dedication 7 "Dedication and Happiness" is a speech made by Mr. Liang Qichao in Shanghai China Vocational School more than 70 years ago, which gave them an enlightenment education on professional ethics. Now when I take studying with students as an article, I deeply feel that this is not only for students, but also a good medicine to wash away teachers' job burnout.
Have a career
I remember a Weibo saying: When you open your eyes and complain about going to work, you should think of yourself and your class. How happy is it? Although the teacher's work is continuous and repetitive, it is inevitable to fall into the rigidity and slack of thinking. This teaching method is still the same after one student sends out the next. This design makes students feel boring, and they have no passion for class. Therefore, it is even more important to "do nothing for one day and eat for one day" like Baizhang Zen Master. Let today not be a repetition of yesterday. Cherish the respected career you currently have and make seemingly simple repetition vivid. Put your opinions into the interpretation of the text and the management of class work. Walk with students, inject passion and innovation into students' lives, and let them feel energetic from teachers. Enjoy each other's happiness.
Devote oneself to work/career
Zhu's explanation is quite insightful: "If the Lord is at a loss, he is respectful." I want to be ashamed. I have been reading books these days. I seem to have seen it, but I am mentally. I still feel strange after reading it. The trifles in life are all in my mind, and I can't be distracted. Not to mention perfect. Therefore, after reflection, action is needed. I want to learn from Zhuangzi. No matter how big the world is and how many things there are, I only see my books. I also wavered in my adherence to the podium for a while because of the high salaries of my relatives and friends. Zeng Zheng Wen said: "Sitting on this mountain and looking at that mountain will accomplish nothing." Aren't you talking about people like me?
Enjoy one's career
In Liang Qichao's words, it is the ideal life for human beings to "enjoy themselves and forget their worries". It's really what the heart yearns for. But as Liang Gong said, "You should know that all joys and sorrows are subjective, not objective." Mentality determines success or failure. If the profession of teaching makes people feel tired, why can't we find the happiness of being a teacher from those living students? Imagine being ecstatic in class because of students' wonderful speeches or unexpected ideas. After experiencing the peak experience with students in the classroom, I am very excited ... where does it hurt? Put yourself in it, devote yourself wholeheartedly, feel the broadness and splendor of Chinese characters and world civilization wholeheartedly, students exude youth, and we dedicate our youth. Why bother?
As Liang Qichao said, one is "sense of responsibility" and the other is "interest". Dedication is a sense of responsibility, and joy is interest. Since dedication is the only way in life. As a teacher, I should use my concentration to achieve my students and my career. Finally, the happiness of life, career and life. Thanks to Liang Qichao!
After reading 8, immersed in the satisfaction of having a job, you will stop; In the intoxication and dedication of automation, you will gradually move forward; Enjoy the happiness of working with peace of mind, and you will advance forever! -inscription
Learning "Dedication and Happiness" is deeply touched. In the happy life, I made clear one of my responsibilities. "Respect and enjoy the cause" and "live and work in peace and contentment", I think it is probably a kind of life that everyone wants to do!
The long road of life is accompanied by three industries. The so-called three industries mean having a job, being dedicated and being happy. Everything is right, and having a job is our basic goal. In Dedication and Happiness, the author wrote a sentence: "One day you don't do anything, one day you don't eat". I quite agree with this view. In this 2 1 century, technology and economy go hand in hand, so we need to make a summary of our daily efforts and gains, which will help us to form good behavior habits and establish and achieve the goal of summary.
Chen Hongqiao, the manager, said: "Dedication is happiness, the reputation of Dedication is the greatest wealth in your career, and the biggest beneficiary of Dedication is yourself." Profession is considered as the most basic way of doing things in modern society. When a person turns dedication into a habit, he learns more knowledge, accumulates more experience, realizes the pleasure of doing a good job, and enjoys the happiness from the dedication to work and the progress of thought and business. Do one thing, persevere, heartfelt loyalty, this is the biggest secret of dedication.
Confucius said, "Knowing is not as good as being kind, and being kind is not as good as being happy." Life is valuable only when you can appreciate interest in your career. Everything you do must be interesting and hard, and it will be even harder if you don't work; Passive and active will produce two completely different results. Life is happy because of victory, and happiness is better, because it can make us forget all wandering thoughts.
Life three has been sung, so-called everyone has his own taste. In this branch full of knowledge, I learned another attitude. To sum up, I hope everyone, like me, will bloom their own glory in this season's fireworks dream, find their own suitable position and say "I am persuaded by you" to the "industry" garden.
Three things lead a lifetime, I hope it will be beautiful and eternal, and spend a beautiful spring and autumn with us. Among them, three undertakings are constantly struggling. -endnotes
After seeing dedication, you must have a career. For us, the industry naturally learned. After reading the story of Zen master Baizhang, I thought this man was too stubborn at first, but then I thought about it and felt ashamed. Compared with Zen master Baizhang, what we lack is not only that his words will be carried out, but more importantly, we lack the quality of the old Zen master. Stick to it day by day until you are eighty years old! How many 365 days, how many 24 hours! But now we often can't make our own plans! At least I have no worries about words and deeds, let alone persistence. And we always pin our hopes on the next time. For today's gaffes, we ask ourselves to step down and are unwilling to work hard. This is the lazy word mentioned later! All trades come first, and all evils and laziness come first. Although we are not lazy people without jobs, we are still not Mi Chong. But we didn't finish our homework again and again. When we got home safely, we enjoyed the environment created by our parents. Always thinking about our next time, facing our eager parents leisurely, which is even equivalent to a thief who plunders others' hard work! Lazy words first, nothing can be achieved. It is our biggest enemy, it is our own who connives at it, and defeating it is our only choice!
When it comes to dedication, what inspires me most is the story of a rickety husband taking care of silk in Zhuangzi. There are many things in the world, but only my wings know. A rickety old man, in a few simple words, has revealed the essence of all truth! More than that, I think this old man is the first person in the world! Isn't it? Although the old man is suffering from rickets, he can make a small thing classic, so focused and single-minded. Although it was a small matter, he did it so well! And we live in such a good environment and have a healthy body. No matter how we study, it is our unshirkable responsibility to at least do the little things around us well. We should do everything well through hard work, even if it is different from others, but we have no regrets, because we can't be satisfactory, but we must be innocent! We tried. However, all this is based on concentration! Only with your heart can you succeed. If we sit on this mountain and look at that mountain, we will accomplish nothing! This means due diligence and respect for duty.
As for happiness, I think that sentence in the book is enough to show that those who know are not as good as those who know, and those who are good are not as good as those who enjoy. Decide how dissatisfied you are with your career, but do it. Then why don't you enjoy it? This reminds me of a sentence: you know, you cherish, it is difficult to bloom; You don't know, you hate, it's hard to bloom. Flowers are always trying to bloom, and good days are passing day by day. For us, why not cherish what we have? Experience happiness from your career and taste life from happiness!
Everything has its own fun. I believe that if we respect and enjoy life, life will be more colorful! Respect and joy I would like to share with Liang Rengong!
I read Mr. Liang Qichao's speech "Dedication and Happiness" about Dedication, 10, explained people's attitude towards occupation in simple terms, and discussed the importance of Dedication and Happiness. According to his own personal experience, Mr. Liang pointed out that "responsibility", "benefit" and "appointment" and "happiness" are most closely related: "responsibility" means "appointment" and "benefit" means "happiness". He believes that we must have a sense of responsibility in doing things and be good at "appreciating the fun from the profession". A person with a sense of responsibility, interest, dedication and happiness, and dedication to perfection is the "reasonable life of mankind."
"A person is disrespectful to his profession. Theoretically speaking, it is a blasphemy against the sanctity of occupation; In fact, you must have done something bad and ended up hurting yourself. Therefore, professionalism is the most necessary and beneficial to life. " Mr Qi Chao deserves to be a wise man. His analysis of the problem is reasonable and thorough, which is very instructive. For me, teaching is a profession to make a living, so I must not desecrate the title of teacher because of my carelessness and disrespect, so that I lose my job.
Confucius' life of "being a man's way, forgetting to eat when he is angry, forgetting to worry when he enjoys it, and not knowing how to get old" is the ideal realm of life. The "happy" mentality is the attitude towards the profession. Confucius also said: "The knower is not as good as the doer, and the doer is not as good as the musician." If everyone can seek unlimited benefits from his career, can he still work irresponsibly? Can the work be done badly? As far as the teaching profession I am engaged in now is concerned, hard work goes without saying. Which industry is not hard? But hard work also has fun-the fun of communicating with colleagues, the fun of growing up because of students, the fun of self-development ... our work process is full of all kinds of fun. If we understand pleasure as ease and unrestrained freedom, I'm afraid we won't find it.
To say the least, if we don't reach a happy state (like me, there is a gap), then we should regard "happiness" as an ideal of life. Maybe I won't be a teacher tomorrow, and "happiness" is still my career ideal. With this professional ideal, I can fulfill my professional responsibilities.
For tomorrow's happiness, let's start work today.
