I heard a saying very early on: You have to work hard to study. This sentence touched me quite a lot. There is a saying: "Teaching is the end of the road for scholars." I don't think so. Whether it's teaching or engaging in other professions, the essence is to make a living.

To be honest, there are people who live well and people who live poorly in this world. Whether you live well or not has little to do with what career you are engaged in. The key is how you view your career. .

Doing a job and loving a job and doing a job and hating a job are two different cognitive thoughts. The former will teach you how to love life, while the latter will make you complain about life. Those who love life can create life, and those who complain about life can only destroy life.

01Those who can really teach are actually making a living.

Many teachers like to complain that teaching is not a good meal. They always want to get out of the education industry, but they don’t know what they can do, so they blindly change jobs. It seems like Very capable, but the result is not as good as imagined.

Why are so many people unable to teach well? Because you have not seriously thought about a very important question: Are you suitable for the career you want to do? In other words, do you have sufficient cognitive thinking about the career you want to do? You know, there are many professions in this world that can support people. The key is whether this profession can give you the joy of life.

First of all, you must know that complaining that teaching is not delicious is the root cause of cognitive thinking errors.

While the porters were still sweating hard for their livelihood, the boss was drinking tea with his legs crossed. It’s not that porters don’t have the ability to be bosses, but from the day they picked up the goods to be moved, porters never thought about being bosses.

The difference between a porter and a boss is, to put it bluntly, a cognitive difference. What you think is a bad career may be a dream career for others.

When looking at things, you should not only look at the appearance, but also see the essence hidden in the appearance. See through the height you may reach in the education industry in advance, and take it as your goal. If you go step by step, you can get what you want.

You will meet many teachers who share the same goals as you. They will help you identify the problems and advantages in your work and evaluate your achievements in the education industry.

Therefore, many times, even if the starting point is the same, the final results are very different due to different thinking.

Some teachers face challenges and are reborn; some teachers choose to escape and achieve nothing. In the final analysis, it depends on our level of understanding of education. There are boundaries in cognition and there are boundaries in thinking. Cognitive teaching is not a good bowl of rice, and it will inevitably lead to limitations in cognitive thinking, and ultimately miss the joy of educational life.

Secondly, the challenge between yourself and yourself is actually a challenge to cognitive thinking.

Cognitive teaching is not a good bowl of rice, and it is the root cause of limitations in cognitive thinking. Once cognitive thinking is limited, it will make itself uncompetitive in the education industry. what is this?

When teachers with cognitive limitations teach, the first thing they think of is that teachers are not as glamorous as civil servants or bankers. "If you have a family with thousands of pounds of food, you can't be the king of children." Then you think about it, whether you should teach, and whether teaching is the right thing to do. It was originally a wrong choice.

At this time, the teacher with goal thinking has surpassed you and reached the front of the team. By the time you realize it, you have already fallen behind.

needs to know that once cognitive limitations are formed, a fixed mindset will be formed: do as much as you can. The goal thinker considers: I will develop my own abilities as much as I want to do. Then regard education and teaching as part of your life and set specific work goals, implement and solve them one after another.

Ask for advice when you don’t understand, and find ways to solve problems when you encounter them. Even if students don’t cooperate, you will calm down and find ways to communicate with students. No matter what you encounter, always believe that there are more solutions than difficulties. This is how the gap in teaching widens step by step.

02 If you want to become an elite in the education industry, you must first be willing to think outside the circle of fixed thinking.

There is a huge gap in industry treatment in today's society. As a teacher, it is particularly important to stick to your career in education, but many teachers are turning their backs on themselves. Ultimately, the original choice was due to the attitude and thinking of these teachers towards the industry. Anyone who understands can tell at a glance that they have cognitive deviations from the powerful teachers and are not on the same level.

There is not only a gap in the value-added of the industry between teachers who look up from the mountains and teachers who are really great, but what is particularly important is that they dare not step out of the circle of fixed thinking.

There is a difference between teachers who want to leave the education industry and teachers who dare to stick to their original intention of education. The former tend to compare with other glamorous industries and always think that their profession is inferior to other professions. However, for teachers who can stick to their original intention of education, This is just an excuse for them to escape.

If you escape from your current career, you may find a better way out, but this is a minority after all, because the resources each of us has are limited. We can do as much work as we have resources. If you don’t have the resources, it’s best to choose this industry. Without this industry, you are nothing.

If you keep the clouds clear, you can see the sun and the moon. These are the words on the lips of most teachers. The time is not yet ripe now, my abilities are still lacking, and I need to accumulate more... Just wait, as everyone knows, the time is always reserved for those who are prepared.

The best time is now.

Ability is slowly accumulated in the process of doing things. If you don't take the initiative, you will never see the day when you can get ahead.

I have a college classmate who was assigned to teach in a remote rural middle school after graduation. We all call him Laowai, because his foreign language skills are truly top-notch.

If he had not chosen to engage in his old profession when he left that rural middle school, he would certainly not have achieved his subsequent achievements. Getting a job within the system at that time was as dignified and glamorous as it is now. Although the salary is not high, the state takes care of everything you eat, drink, and drink. If he were still in that rural middle school now, he would be a principal at most.

It can be said that serving this iron rice bowl is already the best choice for many people. But just over ten years ago, he resolutely gave up his iron job and went alone to Shenzhen, a place he was unfamiliar with.

He always felt that in that remote rural middle school, even if he wanted to do something, he would encounter all kinds of resistance. Instead of spending his life in vain, it was better to choose to rise from the ashes. In Shenzhen, he used the professional knowledge he learned to establish an online teaching platform. Through his own efforts, he finally achieved career glory.

If he had been content with the status quo and worked and lived step by step every day, he would never have become a man with a big fortune, eight figures in bank cash and several properties in Shenzhen and his hometown.

succeeded because he was willing to take risks and was engaged in his own industry. He once said this to me: stick to your career and be willing to risk everything. Success may be ahead of you, but if you don’t take the last few steps, you will finally miss the opportunity. The key lies in the steps you take. When the time comes, do you have the courage to take that step?

When you take that step, it is equivalent to planting ambition in yourself. You will always urge yourself to achieve your dream goals and work hard for a cheating life. Therefore, if you want to become an elite in the education industry, you must first be willing to step out of the fixed thinking circle.

03 Break the inertial thinking and follow the cognitive thinking of action

One of the weaknesses of human nature is that when we encounter new things, we always use inertial thinking to imprison ourselves.

For example, some people say that online teaching is no longer popular, and then you follow them and say that this thing is behind the times. Therefore, you are unwilling to think with action thinking, so you have to miss this big stage where you can show your talents.

In fact, those who say that online teaching is no longer popular do not understand how online teaching works. Those teachers who have foresight have long broken their inertial thinking, seized the opportunity of online platforms, and made a lot of money at the same time. He also made a lot of money and enjoyed the joy of life. But at this time, online teaching has nothing to do with you.

Probably, when you know about the new thing of online teaching, you don't want to think about whether you want to participate in it, and you also want to get a share of the media teaching in modern education. Perhaps this new thing originally conflicts with your ideas, which leads you to stick to the routine and not want to break the routine, let alone deliberately innovate.

Even those so-called educational celebrities who lecture everywhere are actually bound to their own inertial thinking, but the framework they have established is already very noble.

When a teacher who is good at breaking out of inertia thinking faces a new problem that conflicts with his ideas, he will always ask a few more questions: Is the result really what they said? Is there no other way to pass? If they can't find new gold mines, they generally won't stop.

Because you have to firmly believe that what you hear may not be the truth. Only through deep self-thinking and questioning can you see the essence of things. Many teachers are not used to questioning and thinking, and usually use past experiences to judge the future development of things. Teachers who are good at breaking out of inertial thinking will judge from a perspective that is in sync with the times.

Competition in the field will definitely intensify in the future. If teachers cannot adjust their cognitive thinking in time according to the trends in education, they will be abandoned by the times.

04Learn the experience of easy teaching from teachers who are excellent at teaching, and get rid of the trap of inefficient classrooms

People who can stand out on the educational front like to figure out the ins and outs of things. This is the biggest difference from ordinary teachers. It is said that thinking determines the height. How far you think, the depth of your thinking will be.

What about ordinary teachers? Due to the influence of the environment, you are good to me, so you stick to the rules. Those thinking, skills, resources and information related to teaching are not within his scope of consideration.

When it comes to cognition and things that do not exist objectively, the outstanding manifestation is that the understanding of information is not comprehensive and in-depth enough. Although we are in the era of big data and information is everywhere, the key is how do you keep the truth from the false and capture useful information.

In fact, one of the shortcuts to teaching is to communicate more with teachers who are extremely good at using modern technology to teach, and learn their effective teaching methods. Usually, the information we need is hidden in the other person’s cognitive thinking. inside.

However, it should be noted that the purpose of learning from teachers who are good at teaching is not to imitate mechanically, nor is it just to improve knowledge, but to understand the other party's thinking model .

Otherwise, no matter how much information there is, it will only be low-level repetition.

Why do you always complain that your students are stupid? I teach seriously enough and put in a lot of energy and effort, but why am I so far behind my colleagues?

Finding the root cause, the reason is actually very simple, that is, you only know how to copy other people's ready-made models, but ignore your own innovation ability. This is what we usually call the "inefficient classroom trap."

This is like an ant on a hot pot. Even if it spreads its legs and runs wildly, it seems that it has tried its best, but it can never get out of the pot. Even if you have accumulated a lot of experience, because you have not added elements of your own thinking, as time goes by, these experiences will not only become less and less useful to you, but will also become a burden that you can get rid of.

The best way to solve this experience trap is to deliberately get rid of the original thinking inertia, get rid of the teaching process that you are used to and feel comfortable with, break the reconstruction, let yourself compete with yourself, and never give up until you achieve your goal. , the second is to humbly communicate with teaching experts and elites in other industries to see if your thinking can keep up with their understanding of the real society, and what is different from their thinking and progress.

Only when you often compete with masters can you see your own shortcomings and shortcomings, and only then can you force yourself to upgrade your cognitive thinking.

The environment shapes people's thinking and personality, and which masters they compete with are often more intuitive and more stimulating than the knowledge they get from reading.

Remember one sentence: Cognition determines thinking, thinking determines ideas, ideas determines the way out, and the way out determines success. When you have cognitive thinking and ideas that exceed those of ordinary teachers, you are only one step away from excelling.

writes at the end: The future competition in education will still be between teachers and teachers. Once your cognition is asymmetrical with your thinking, no matter how much you put in, you may not be able to become an education giant. Cognition is the basic ability of teachers to transcend themselves. If cognition cannot keep up with the development of the times, then you can only watch others develop.

Every effort you make is a sublimation of your understanding of education. Where you lag behind your peers is a manifestation of the shortcomings of your understanding of education.

When your cognition does not match your ability, even if you are extremely lucky, you can occasionally win a first-class teaching award, but this does not prove that you have the ability to win the first-class award.

Education is fair. When your cognition is not enough to control all your teaching achievements, other teachers who are better than you have 100 ways to step on you until your teaching ability matches your educational cognition.
