New Oriental School is known as the "maker of the dream of going abroad", and its founder, Yu Minhong, will become the richest teacher in China. And Yu Minhong's success is not unrelated to an incident his father did when he was a child.
Yu Minhong said in his blog that his father was a carpenter who often helped others build houses, and every time he finished building a house, he would pick up the broken bricks and tiles that others discarded and unwanted. "Over time, there was a mess of broken bricks in my yard. I can't figure out what this bunch is for.
Until one day, a small boxy house actually rose from the ground. My father drove the pigs and sheep that had been raised in the open air into the small house, and then cleaned the yard, and my family had a yard and a pig barn that the whole village envied. ”
His father explained to Yu Minhong the secret of doing something. After that, when doing things, Yu Minhong usually asks himself two questions: first, what is the goal of doing this, because blindly doing things is like picking up a bunch of bricks and not knowing what to do; The second question is how much effort it takes to get this done, i.e., how many bricks need to be picked up to make the house right.
After that, you have to be patient, because you can't pick up enough bricks in a day.
Three events in my life demonstrate the benefits of this line of thinking. Yu Minhong said that the first thing is my college entrance examination, with a clear goal: to go to university, I didn't pass the first and second years, and in the third year, I continued to work hard to "pick up bricks", and finally entered Peking University; The second thing is that I memorize words and have a clear goal; Becoming one of the best English vocabulary teachers in China, so I began to memorize words one by one, and in the pain of forgetting the memorized words, the image of my father picking up bricks always appeared in front of my eyes, and finally I finally memorized twenty or thirty thousand words; The third thing is that I do New Oriental, with a clear goal:
To be one of the best English training institutions in China, then I started to teach students, an average of six to ten hours a day, many teachers fell or gave up, I did not give up, I am still working hard to this day, and I have seen the hope that the house of New Oriental can be built.
