A letter to Maury [I understand that "life is concrete"]
Murray:

Hello!

Many celebrities have written letters to their children, among which Letters from Fu Lei and Letters from Zeng Guofan are familiar. In their letters, they revealed their education for their children and grandchildren and inherited a good family style. Infiltrate one's outlook on life and world to future generations; Of course, it is also beneficial to ordinary people like us. This way of education is also admired and imitated by later generations.

Recently, I have read several books by celebrities or successful people, and their letters to children are quite insightful. Some really communicate with children through letters, and some children are still in infancy, just like you now, and they can't read, let alone read. However, they all choose to communicate with their children through words instead of verbal nagging.

Communication between parents and children is necessary, because it is the foundation of human progress.

However, you are still too young. Although I know some simple Chinese characters, I still have a certain distance from reading books, newspapers and letters. But I still want to follow the example of my predecessors and leave you something with words.

I don't expect to leave my knowledge and life experience to you. Knowledge, far from it, is at best to know words and write a few words; Experience is not as good as. I never liked what the older generation often said to us, "I eat more salt than you do, and I walk more bridges than you do." The worst education is to educate the next generation with the outdated ideas of the previous generation. Nowadays, it has become an indisputable fact that young people have achieved more than the previous generation. Otherwise, how can the world progress?

I firmly believe that you will surpass me in knowledge and experience in the future. In today's society, human beings must have civilization and progress, which is also the responsibility of parents today. Of course, teaching children well is the most basic; Teaching you well is also my most basic duty.

Now, I can't think of anything I will discuss with you in my letter in the future. But at the moment, I just want to communicate with you in words the books I have read, the people I have met, the things I have experienced, and the inspiration I got at a certain moment or at a certain time. In the process of communication, we can think further, and more importantly, if we can persist in practice, it will be a great gain.

"Example leads the way, there is no need to whip yourself."

I hope so!

Children are independent individuals, although they come from parents. So I have stressed on many occasions that I will not impose my ideas on you, let alone leave my regrets to you to realize, or ask you to do things I can't do.

I always believe that the best family education is that example is greater than preaching.

Now, what I can do now is to study more and make more progress. I'm sailing ahead, I hope you can catch up with me soon.

In this way, I urge myself not to stop, even if I walk slowly, it doesn't matter. No matter how slow the tortoise is, won't it catch up with the grand wedding reception?

I read an article today, saying that German technology far exceeds Japan to some extent. My previous cognitive category was Japan, with the craftsman spirit respected by people all over the world. The Japanese are very dedicated, so many people are "willing" to do only one thing all their lives. As big as some automobile industries, as small as some sushi restaurants. But suddenly a German did more than that.

What's going on here?

Although simple, it is of great significance!

Leica cameras in Germany are world-famous. In the process of producing Leica camera lenses, there are specific specifications as thin as the width of the scale line, and the painstaking efforts spent on polishing a lens can be imagined.

Leica once cooperated with Minolta, a large Japanese optical instrument company, but the lens produced by Minolta, according to Leica's standards, was less than 20% qualified. Later, after a lot of time to rectify, it basically met the requirements of Leica. Later, consumers also reported that the quality of Leica in Japan was not as good as that in Germany. Later, Leica simply closed the production line in Japan.

Enterprises are so strict with products and stick to principles, so is an ordinary German in life.

If you go to a strange place to ask for directions, most people will enthusiastically give you directions, and more importantly, give you a direction and a general idea; And some people will give directions blindly. I once had a similar experience: "Turn right at the next red light, turn right at the next red light, and turn right at the next intersection." And I, a road idiot, actually did what the tour guide said, and finally found out: I'm back to the original point, ready to cry!

However, the Germans, in this respect, have done a good job. If he doesn't know, he will tell you directly that he doesn't know; If he knows, he will tell you clearly, if he is close, he will take you to that place; If you meet someone in a hurry, he will tell you directly that he can't help you. They won't mislead people in words. If they want to help others, they must help them to the end. I admire this!

When Germans cook at home, there are many measuring cups and spoons in the kitchen, and even scales and clocks. All kinds of materials and ingredients should be weighed and measured, and the time should be strictly controlled. Their cooking attitudes and principles are completely different from those described in our domestic recipes that rely entirely on feelings or ambiguity: "a little", "a moderate amount" and "a few grains".

Maybe I can find out why I can never cook well when I look at the menu. Last night, the hot fat sausage was made into hot fat sausage tendons, which can't be chewed. In your father's words, it's awesome, comparable to beef tendon.

Of course, the above are some examples of Germans written by others. What the Germans did, I think, can only be thoroughly understood by dealing with the Germans through personal experience. Maybe, if there is a chance to travel to Europe, we can include Germany.

These German examples remind me of a biography of Mr. Almost written by Mr. Hu Shi. This article is so interesting that when you read it for the first time, you can't help laughing: "How funny!" But if you turn to serious thinking, you will be ashamed. Isn't it us, Mr. Almost? We who do things carelessly and perfunctory.

Compared with the attitude and principles of the Germans, "almost a gentleman" is even more ashamed in front of them.

So, how do I understand "life is concrete"?

After I sent you to kindergarten yesterday, I came back to work overtime to prepare lessons. Except for lunch and dinner, I am almost always in front of the computer. Finally, a perfect PPT courseware is completed in 1 1 pm. At that time, I suddenly felt a sense of injustice. When others prepare lessons, they change a template and copy and paste last year's content, and it will be done in half an hour. Besides, I worked overtime myself, so I'm exhausted.

At this moment, that complaint, that sense of exhaustion about sorting out inner meaning, also vanished. Whether he is fair or not, be yourself, because "life is concrete", isn't it? Only when you are in deep trouble in the future, and this sentence can make you suddenly enlightened, will you feel carefree from the heart at this moment.

It is precisely because of the phrase "life is concrete" that I can better warn and encourage myself to do things seriously. "The devil often hides in the details" is an unchangeable truth.

"Life is concrete", well, we understand, work hard together and practice together.
