Chapter 20 Ji Song's Teaching "Everyone knows bamboo. Its growth is very strange. It takes about five years to mature. In the first four years, it only grows a mere three inches. But when the fifth year comes, bamboo becomes more energetic and it grows ten inches every day. In this way, in less than two months, he will be more than three feet tall.
In fact, what everyone only sees is the surface, but secretly, in the first four years, the bamboo is also growing, but it grows underground, and it is storing its own strength.
There are dozens of feet of roots are just like bamboo. If they want to achieve something, they have to endure loneliness. Bamboo takes four years, but people may need many years. "
After Ji Song finished speaking, he turned around and came to the blackboard, wrote a few words on it and said to the curious students: "There are specializations in the arts, and there are priorities in learning. We should not be satisfied with the status quo, and we must persevere like that minister." , and more importantly, be like a bamboo, accumulate knowledge and make progress! I share the above words with everyone!"
"Where there is aspirations, things will come true. If the boat is broken, the hundred and twenty Qin Pass will eventually belong to Chu; for those who work hard, the sky will live up to it. If you try your courage, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu."
"A thousand sails pass by the side of the sinking boat, and a thousand trees spring ahead of the sick tree."
"The edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossom comes from the bitter cold."
"How can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain?"
"I won't tell you the meaning of these sentences. One day, you will truly understand the meaning of these sentences, then it will be time for you to become a disciple." Ji Song knew that they could not understand this yet. The real meaning of a few words, but this is not important. What is important is that when they understand it, that is when they make a difference.
Ji Song continued to criticize everyone's test papers. He didn't know how much these words shocked the people outside the door.
"Where there is aspirations, things will come true. If the boat is broken, the hundred and twenty Qin Pass will eventually belong to Chu; for those who work hard, the sky will live up to it. If you try your courage, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu."
Li Shimin seemed to be confused. He thought of the time when he first led the army at the age of 16. At that time, he had great ambitions, but who knew the hardships involved! How many times have I passed by death, how many times have I tossed and turned, and in the constant setbacks and tribulations, I have learned to fight, learned tactics, and tempered my mind. Otherwise, I would not have achieved what I have now.
His eyes seemed to have traveled through thousands of years, and he saw the overlord's courage to risk everything when faced with a desperate situation; he also saw the forbearance of King Gou Jian of Yue who endured hardships for ten years and destroyed Wu in one fell swoop.
What Li Gang saw was the miracle and joy of a dead tree turning into spring, while what Xie Lian saw was the hardships of studying hard in the cold wind when he was a child, and the joy of being rewarded after all the hardships!
Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin thought of the fighting on the battlefield, the precarious days, from the helplessness as a soldier, to the caution as a middle-level general, to now knowing it clearly and doing whatever they wanted! "It turns out that all hardships are the foundation for our growth. Whether they are good or bad experiences, they are an indispensable period of hardship in our lives. Only after experiencing unbearable hardships for ordinary people can we have the experience of others. An achievement that is difficult to achieve!" Li Shimin muttered to himself.
"I often complain that my parents did not leave me enough property, complain about all the injustices of God, and even resent my brother's ruthlessness. But now I don't complain. Without them, I, Xie Lian, might not be where I am today. But I won't thank them, because they don't deserve thanks!" Xie Lian breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had put down a heavy burden, and he felt less melancholy and more free and easy.
There will be no setbacks next. Ji Song is generally satisfied with everyone's academic performance. The youngest of these children is eight years old. They already know a little about things in the countryside. They all know that the opportunity to learn is hard-won. No one can change if they are willing to give up. The chance of a lifetime.
"Okay, this exam is a summary of the previous three months of study, and it is also an understanding of yourself. Students who do not do well in the exam should not feel any burden, just catch up in the future; those who do well in the exam will also Don't be proud. The results this time can only reflect your achievements in the past three months, but not the future. If you don't want to be caught up by the classmates behind you, then you have to study harder than before. .Okay, class is over!”
"Goodbye, teacher!" "Goodbye, classmates!" The students began to pack their things and leave the classroom in an orderly manner, while the students on duty began to clean the classroom.
"Wonderful! It's so wonderful! I didn't expect Brother Song to be top-notch in teaching students in addition to his medical skills!" Li Shimin exclaimed in admiration when Ji Song packed up his things and walked out.
"My little friend's few short sentences surprised me even more. I didn't expect that my little friend would have such a deep understanding of life at such a young age!" Li Gang stroked his beautiful beard and looked at Ji Song as if he was watching. A piece of beautiful jade, he praised.
"Your Highness, Li Shimiao praised me! Song Na has no understanding of life. My life has just begun, and I have only begun to explore this invisible road ahead in life.
As for those few sentences, they are just a summary of the predecessors, but they are expressed in more clever words. They are not worthy of such praise from you two! "
Ji Song didn't dare to blame this matter on himself. He could only blame it on his predecessors. He was just summarizing it!
"Okay, let's just take it as it is! Don't you invite us to come in and sit down?" Li Shimin shook his head helplessly. This boy was not like a young man. He was very calm. He simply stopped talking. When he saw that the students had left, he I wanted to go in and take a look, so I said to Ji Song.
"You're being rude, everyone, please!" Ji Song is willing to invite you in, Ji Song slandered in his heart, but he was still very honest.
"What is this?" Li Shimin pointed at the blackboard.
In fact, they had seen this object a long time ago, and when they saw Ji Song writing on it, using something white that they had never seen before, they asked.
"Oh! This! It's something for teaching. This black board is for writing, and this white one is chalk, made of lime. It's just for the convenience of teaching. After all, there are a lot of students." Ji Song didn't care. , introduced casually.
"Well, it's very convenient!" Li Shimin noticed that his hand was itchy, so he picked up the chalk and started writing on it.
But what embarrassed him was that the chalk seemed to be disobedient in his hands, and the words he wrote were crooked. Compared with Ji Song's handwriting, it made him blush even more.
Ji Song looked funny, but he didn't have the courage to laugh. He stepped forward and picked up the chalk and explained while writing: "This is your highness's first time writing on the blackboard. When I started writing, I was not as good as your highness! Unlike when we usually write with a brush, using chalk requires us to use more force on our wrists. Our hands must be steady and the force must be even.”
After Li Gang, Xie Lian and Li Shimin heard Ji Song's explanation, they also wrote on it. This time they wrote slowly. After practicing a few times, and with Ji Song's on-site teaching, they quickly found the trick. After all, they have been practicing calligraphy for decades. Once they find the knack, they will soon become smoother.
