The book I read together this week is "Insensitive Power" by Junichi Watanabe . This is the first time I heard the word "insensitive".
Recalling the courses I learned before, "The Conflict in Our Hearts", "Repairing the Glass Heart", etc., I suddenly realized sensitively: the word "insensitive" is actually the antonym of "sensitive". A "sharp" feeling is the opposite, a "dull" feeling.
The book "Insensitive Power" says: Insensitive is a kind of talent, a kind of power that can make people's talents blossom and bear fruit.
Junichi Watanabe defines "dull power" as "dull power", that is, the ability to calmly face the setbacks and pains in life.
During the reading process, the reading lady from the People's Army told us a story about "sensitivity" and "insensitivity":
A college entrance examination student ended up not getting a high score because of poor English scores. The reason is that when he was in junior high school, he was criticized by his English teacher. From then on, he began to hate the English teacher and hated learning English. As a result, his English scores plummeted and he could not make up for it in three years of high school.
Dong Yuhui, the recently popular anchor of the "Oriental Selection" network, did not learn English in elementary school. After entering junior high school, he read the 26 English letters as Chinese Pinyin and was criticized and disliked by his English teacher.
Dong Yuhui did not become bored with the teacher and reject English like the previous student. Instead, he used all his spare time to work hard to overcome the difficulties in English. Once, he fell and got injured because he was too involved in memorizing words. His mother lovingly called him As a "dumb kid".
Hard work pays off, and Dong Yuhui's persistent research on English has yielded fruitful results. Not only has his English scores improved by leaps and bounds, he has also passed the college entrance examination and passed the Xi'an International Studies University . After graduation, he taught at New Oriental . The two different results of
lacking "insensitive power" and having "insensitive power" can be seen here.
In work and life, we often encounter stumbling blocks. Either they were criticized by their leaders, they turned against their friends, and there were many conflicts between couples and lovers.
At this time, we should not show depression or worry, but should face everything with a positive, cheerful, calm and calm attitude.
I think of one day in July 2021, when I was criticized and criticized by my direct leader. At that time, I felt so depressed and uncomfortable! It took ten and a half days to get out of the shadows and finally calm down. But the once harmonious relationship between superiors and subordinates has cracked.
To this day, when I think back, the feelings I felt at that time have long since disappeared, replaced by a lot of understanding of each other. In fact, I am still too sensitive and fragile, too unable to withstand the wind and rain, too glass-hearted, and too lacking in "deafness".
Yes, if I had read this book "The Power of Dullness" a year earlier, maybe I would have made myself feel dull in the face of setbacks, instead of paying too much attention to it, and instead being calm and calm, supported by an open-minded and optimistic attitude. Don't be harmed yourself.
My son, who has just entered the second year of high school, encountered an annoying thing recently: a foreign girl who was attracted to her was rejected because of her confession. She became angry and thought of many ways to discredit him and create a negative impact.
My son also struggled with it for a whole week and couldn't help himself. He always felt that his image among his classmates was greatly compromised.
His father and I enlightened him several times and gave him a twelve-word action guide: "Ignore it, stay out of it, and be calm and calm."
The son quickly adjusted his mentality and devoted himself to studying. I secretly praised my son for his decisiveness and problem-solving ability.
After reading this book "Insensitive Power", I felt that this book was very applicable to my son, so I strongly recommended it to him when he returned home.
This is the beauty of reading! By reading, we can let the ideas in the book guide our lives and let the principles in the book correct our behaviors. The book has its own golden house, and the book has its own beauty like jade.
After reading this book "The Power of Insensitivity", I understood: Although insensitivity sometimes gives people the negative impression of being slow and dull, insensitivity is the means and wisdom for us to win a better life.
Yes, as the host said: No matter how good the talent is, if it cannot be polished by the power of insensitivity, it will not be able to emit a tenacious light and illuminate the way forward;
No matter how mediocre the child is, if he can have the power of insensitivity, If they have the blessing and are willing to put in diligence and effort, then even in the bleak days, they can survive the adversity and usher in the bright future.
