My math teacher's surname is Huang. We are her first students, and she is also the first time to be a class teacher. It's hard to recall bringing more than 40 12 and 13-year-old children when I was in my twenties.
There are two naughty boys in our class. One is short and fat. We call him wax gourd, and the other is tall and thin. We call him loofah. On the first day of class, these two goods made our teacher Huang cry.
That day, Miss Huang wore a beige dress. Before class, her hair hung to her waist. In class, she tied it with a hair rope, which is also yellow.
The teacher said, "Turn to the first page of the textbook. We want to see what we are going to learn this semester. You can learn by yourself if you learn more. " You can interrupt me at any time by raising your hand if you have any questions. "
As soon as Teacher Huang said this, the stout man sitting in the first row raised his chubby little hand. I don't mean him. He is short and fat. When he was in junior high school, his height was less than 1.30 meters. He said, "Teacher, I want to ask a question."
Teacher Huang smiled and said, "This classmate, you say."
Mr. Huang, why are you so yellow today? Look, your surname is Huang, your skirt is yellow, and the repeating rope is yellow. It's just a pawn hahahaha ... "It is conceivable that before he finished, a class of students suddenly burst into laughter and couldn't stop.
There is only one person in the classroom who doesn't laugh, and that is our head teacher and math teacher, Miss Huang. Miss Huang flushed with anger and her eyes were red. When I was in junior high school, the girls in my class had grown up and the boys had grown up, that is, they entered adolescence, that is, they pretended to enter adolescence before they developed, so everyone was very sensitive to the word "yellow".
But it wasn't long before our teacher Huang graduated, and it was the first time we had a serious class, and we were already very nervous. Seeing the whole class shaking with laughter, she almost exploded, but she tried her best to endure it. She didn't answer the question of winter melon, and then knocked on the table of winter melon with her pointer and said, "Everybody be quiet. Let's continue our class. Don't ask questions that have nothing to do with class."
Then the towel gourd sitting in the last row stood up. He said, "teacher, didn't you just say that you can interrupt you at any time if you have any questions?" How can you break your word? " Great, another burst of laughter, and the whole class couldn't stop laughing.
Looking back now, we really went too far. I don't think they mean anything. It was just a prank, but our teacher Xiao Huang cried directly on the podium. She is just a young girl in her early twenties.
When she cried, the students below quieted down.
Later, several such incidents happened. Miss Huang was very angry, but gradually adapted to the teacher's work and to us who were naughty.
In the first mid-term exam, our class's math score was ok, and we entered the top three of the grade, but our English score was "radiant" in the first and bottom nine classes. The English teacher shook his head at us, said "hopeless", and then threw the mess to our teacher Huang.
At the class meeting, Mr. Huang taught us earnestly, but there was still a giggle below. Winter melon also said, "Mr. Huang, you are a math teacher, so your English is certainly not so good?"
Teacher Huang came prepared, showed his CET-6 certificate and said, "Although I teach mathematics, I like English very much. I not only like English, but also learn English every day. I get up at 4 o'clock every morning and read English books for 90 minutes. "
"Wow ~ ~" exploded instantly, and there was amazing sound. This time it's not ridicule, but admiration. Don't say I get up after 4 o'clock, even if I get up, I won't read!
Miss Huang continued, "Students, what you will do in the future has a lot to do with what you are learning now, but it is not an absolute relationship. Students who do well in all subjects now will have a wide range of choices in the future, but students who are partial to subjects now may not be able to choose their real favorite major. For example, a student with very good math scores who fails English may not be admitted to a normal university, and it is impossible to become a math teacher. "
We are not interested in these words, they are all platitudes, and then we ask Mr. Huang, "Mr. Huang, how do you learn English?"
Teacher Huang said, "English is very important. Now you are only in the first grade. This is very basic knowledge. Remember the backrest, you will add very complicated knowledge, such as reading and writing. If you don't lay a good foundation, it will be difficult to read later. You can't leave. How can you outrun others? "
Then Miss Huang shared her learning methods, but the way she landed finally made us sigh, because Miss Huang said that she would use her lunch break every day to recite words and watch English ... It was too painful. ...
Teacher Huang is not just talking. She really helps us improve our English at noon every day, and it is not limited to the contents of books. Sometimes she will bring a tape recorder to listen to English songs for us, and sometimes she will send a few small notes with simple English poems written on them for us to read and remember again and again. One day, she also brought the original English book she read recently, which is actually a 5 cm thick Jane Eyre. ...
As soon as I opened half a book, there were colorful notes everywhere. I took notes in both Chinese and English. Some of them are sloppy, so only she can understand them, but as she said, she reads English books every day and has been making progress!
In the meantime, Mr. Winter Melon continued to play pranks. He called Mr. Huang when he got up in bed at five o'clock in the morning, and the result was tragic.
Winter melon was forced to stand outside the classroom by Mr. Huang's ear, because Mr. Huang did answer the phone, but it was the landline of Mr. Huang's house and it was not bright in the early morning. Mr. Huang's family was turned upside down by this phone call, thinking that someone was in a hurry. ...
Later, we graduated from junior high school. Teacher Huang said that she hoped we could make a good schedule and stick to what we like. Of course, almost no one can do it. At that time, when I was young, I always felt that what the teacher said was a cliche, and few people could listen.
Last month, our class held a reunion, and Miss Huang also came. However, she is no longer the head teacher, but the vice president in charge of education in the district.
After so many years, although Mr. Huang is over 40 years old, he is tall and straight, with long black hair hanging down to his waist and two shallow dimples, just like when he taught us. Some students are well mixed and some are not well mixed, not to mention for the time being, but the students who are well mixed all say that the fact that Mr. Huang got up at four o'clock to read English touched him a lot.
We all asked, "Miss Huang, do you still have that habit?"
Teacher Huang nodded and said, "Of course, I still have to get up at this time, but besides reading English, I also do something else. I read English for about two days a week, do yoga for two days and write for two days. There are a lot of materials to write at school now, and getting up in the morning is just the time when my mind is clear and no one interferes. "
After listening to Mr. Huang's words, we applauded one after another. It was really touching! We asked her, "Miss Huang, how did you persist? I have difficulty getting up at 7 o'clock in the morning now ... "
Miss Huang smiled gracefully. She adjusted her eyes and said, "In fact, what you really love, together with good living habits, is not difficult once you develop it, so you can't say that you don't insist, just like eating when you are hungry and sleeping when you are sleepy. This is natural, and it won't be difficult or difficult."
What Mr. Huang said is actually very simple, but it is very difficult to really do it. Sometimes we think one thing is easy, but it is difficult to stick to it every day; Sometimes we find something difficult, but once we take the first step and make progress over time, it is actually a distant place that can be realized. Our teacher Huang is a good example. So, how can we do what Mr. Huang did?
1. Habits are formed from small goals. Teacher Huang said that it was not difficult to take CET-6, but there was still a long way to go to read the original English, so I only read one page a day at first, and then slowly began to get faster and faster. But not long after, she was not satisfied and began to write a review. Therefore, judging from the achievement of small goals, she has made little progress. More than twenty years have passed, and her English is no longer the level of that year.
Don't give up other hobbies because of your major. Our teacher Huang liked English when she was in middle school, so she became a math teacher after graduation. But what she really likes is English, so she will keep the habit of learning English after work, and she can also lead a team to communicate abroad, which our English teacher can't do.
It is not difficult to persist for a few days, but it is difficult to persist for decades. Many of us often make up our minds at some point. For example, I'm going to lose ten pounds this month, then I'll start eating healthily without supper, start running and punching in, and sweat hard. But in fact, three days later, the idea has been thrown out of the cloud nine.
4. Self-discipline is not a simple word, but an attitude towards life that needs in-depth practice. Self-disciplined people are self-disciplined in everything they do, and those who can't do it are hard to be self-disciplined in everything they do. So you should practice a self-discipline first, and then you can gradually develop better self-discipline habits.
No one is born with self-discipline, but it can be cultivated. Teacher Huang (now principal Huang) didn't get up at four o'clock when he was a child. When she graduated from college, she began to form this habit. But once she persisted, she persisted for more than 20 years. I think it is this persistence that has made her develop more good habits in her work and life, so she has made more breakthroughs in her career. Isn't it strange that such people don't succeed?
