Last year, I had dinner with my friends in a noodle restaurant, during which an old man came.
Although he looks a little ragged, he is also very strong. After he came in, he kept looking at the menu on the wall, but he didn't order it.
A few minutes later, he came up to us and said, "Young man, I can't read. Can you tell me which dish is fish-flavored shredded pork? "
When I told him, the old man was very grateful.
As the chef needed a few more minutes to cook, we started talking.
I said, "at your age, don't eat such dishes often." Not good for your health. "
The old man sighed and said, "My wife died young. Several years ago, I adopted a doll. No, the child wants to eat this, I can't do it, so I have to come and buy it. "
To tell the truth, I was really taken aback when he said this.
My friends and I are ashamed that a person who can't even support himself has such great kindness.
After the old man left, the shopkeeper said, "It's terrible to have no culture. It's ridiculous to go out and buy fish-flavored shredded pork without knowing a few words. "
After the shopkeeper finished, my friend and I were a little angry, but we didn't go to theory. Just as we were leaving, I said, "If we talk about culture, how many times is it better than you don't know?"
All along, we will judge our education level by how many books we can read.
As long as a person knows few words, then his culture is very low.
But is this the case?
In life, many people misinterpret "culture".
They think that the so-called culture is just a person's knowledge, experience and experience.
Judging a person's cultural level seems to depend only on his educational background, rich life experience and his perception of life experience.
In fact, real culture includes many levels.
I think the most important thing is a person's cultivation rooted in his heart.
We can make the most basic judgment on a person's character through his accomplishment.
People with high cultivation must have high character.
In other words:
A person's quality is hidden in his cultivation.
Colleague Xiao Bei is a girl who loves cleanliness.
When most people's desks are messy, Xiaobei's desks are neat, and the garbage basket in front of her is always clean.
Many colleagues think that Xiaobei must be a neat freak.
When we had dinner together in the restaurant, many colleagues threw the garbage on the ground, only Xiaobei picked it up and put it in the garbage basket.
I didn't know why she did that.
Later, she said, "My parents taught me from an early age that we must form a good habit, and others can see a person's accomplishment from our habits."
Perhaps, at first, when parents said these words to Xiaobei, Xiaobei was very unhappy.
But after a long time, Xiaobei gradually formed a habit, and she always repeated this behavior unconsciously.
In fact, this is also a reflection of culture.
An uneducated person will certainly not be so strict with himself, and he will certainly not have good cultivation.
Because their lives are very casual.
A truly literate person,
There must be a self-awareness in my heart that doesn't need reminding.
Because this has been rooted in their hearts and integrated into their daily lives.
I will know how to restrain my freedom.
Because of this, I have time to pursue my dream.
In this world, there are many things we all want to do.
But educated people will restrain themselves and understand what is possible and what is impossible.
Last year, a girl from the company got an offer from a famous American university.
When we were all admiring her luck, she smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing, but I can restrain myself and spend your playing time on study."
We all envy freedom and never restrain ourselves. I think this is really sad.
If you have time to talk to people around you about the industry downturn and go out and overdraw your life crazily, you might as well try to do your own thing.
The little girl will keep charging after work, and prepare various application materials while improving her English.
After graduating from college, she did not put down her studies, but still enthusiastically improved herself and kept gilding herself.
Because I know how to control myself,
So the little girl got her wish.
But many people in this world have been overdrawing their freedom, and when they finally achieve nothing, they complain about the unfair fate.
In fact, not knowing how to restrain yourself is also a sign of illiteracy.
So, what is culture?
In fact, real culture has nothing to do with your knowledge.
It has something to do with the qualities you have formed in your life.
I have always felt that people with good conduct are educated people and will definitely find their place in the long river of history.
Real culture includes four levels, namely:
A person's cultivation is rooted in his heart;
No consciousness of reminding;
Freedom under the premise of knowing constraints;
Kindness that always thinks of others.
If a person has these four levels, then I believe he must be a literate person.
If you're really smart,
Then please stop boasting about how educated you are.
Your so-called knowledge means nothing to others,
Your understanding of culture is a joke to them.
To be a truly literate person,
This is very important for your life.
