Today I accompanied my child to complete his homework, and he was in the first grade of elementary school. The homework is to recite a short article, then record it, and upload it to the teacher for review. The content of the short article is very simple, with only four sentences. But he delayed until after nine o'clock in the evening before he started to recite. I thought he was confident, so I turned on my phone and prepared to record it for him. But during the recording process, I found that he was not ready at all. So I recited it many times and tried to record it many times. I went back and forth nearly 40 times. Among them, he himself also got angry three times and cried three times due to his emotional collapse. He and I were relieved when we finally completed the task.
After I handed over his homework, I suddenly thought of a question. Isn’t his ups and downs of reciting the text this time, as well as his personal emotions and performance, the manifestation of every adult when he encounters difficulties in life? This process exposes all the shortcomings of human nature. There are always some articles and courses in society that require people to overcome human nature and overcome themselves. Many people may understand that human nature has weaknesses, but they always do not have a deep understanding of the weaknesses of human nature, so they cannot start to change. In fact, all human weaknesses lie in children. Especially those younger children who have not experienced social baptism. The weaknesses they embody are actually the most real weaknesses in human nature.
As mentioned above, the example of child's endorsement is. First of all, it is not difficult to see the weakness of human procrastination. I am always unable to make up my mind about things I don’t want to do, things I’m afraid and afraid of. So he slowly and dragged it. In the end, what should come will come. The longer you delay, the deeper the pain will be. Isn’t this the adult world? When we face difficult problems and when we encounter trouble, we often choose to procrastinate and escape first. In the end, things often have two consequences. One is that you can run away from the monk but you can't run away from the temple, and you will eventually have to face pain; the other is that you pay a greater price for it, which becomes the eternal fear in your heart. If we face it positively and respond actively, there will always be solutions. Even if the final result is bad, the process of solving the problem is valuable in itself. Therefore, those who can overcome procrastination can often overcome human nature. In their respective fields, there will always be achievements that surpass ordinary people.
Secondly, we also see emotions from the endorsement example. Everyone has emotions when facing difficult problems. Especially when I try my best but can't solve it for a long time. People begin to deny themselves. Just like when a child is memorizing a book, when he fails many times and cannot recite it, he begins to be angry, starts to complain about his abilities, and even cry because of his failure. Isn’t this the adult world? When you are facing difficulties in life, when you try any method without success, when you feel desperate when facing the cold reality, have you never shed tears? This is the emotion in human nature. People who can control their emotions and prevent them from affecting their judgment and decision-making often achieve extraordinary achievements.
The child cried three times, he was sadder and despairing every time. But when he finally memorized it, he recovered his emotions, as if nothing had happened. But from his eyes, I could see his confidence. This is actually the law of development of things. Before things turn around, something worse than you think will happen. As the saying goes, there will be no destruction and no establishment. Only when it is destroyed to the extreme will there be a turning point. In fact, it is whether it is a great success. In the adult world, many people will fail for the first time and second time, grit their teeth and persevere until the third time, and finally give up. However, the turning point happened just after the fourth time. Therefore, how much you can withstand the difficult blows, you are destined to gain more in the future. Everyone understands this principle, but often in the process of doing it, because I don’t know when it will be the fourth time, and few people can truly do it. As the saying goes, a hundred miles of people are half ninety.
When we find the weaknesses of human nature and take the initiative to improve them, we will eventually overcome the weaknesses and become the strong.If you have never known what weaknesses you have, then please take a look at the children around you. I am Nick Mortal, and I will take you to understand life and feel life every day.
