人与自我——自我认识,自我管理,自我提升
There was a little kid who studied in 5th grade. Everyone in his class thought that he was one of the silliest kids in his class. His grades were so bad that he himself thought the same.
His report card showed his poor progress but that didn’t bother him. He used to say to his mom, “It doesn’t matter very much.” His mother knew that her boy was not reaching his full potential at school. So she set three rules for him to follow. First, he was allowed to watch only two TV shows per week. Second, he had to finish his homework before he could watch any TV or play outside. Third, he had to read two books each week and write a book report on each of them.
The kid felt upset about these new rules and tried very hard to talk his mother out of them but his mother stood firm. The kid couldn’t go against his mother, so he had to follow those rules. Before long he saw the fruits of his hard work when he was the only one who knew the answer to a question the teacher asked the class.
All his classmates and teachers were surprised that a kid who used to get the lowest score, was now able to correctly answer such a hard question. The kid realized that his knowledge came from books he was reading. He began to believe that if he could learn just a few facts from books at the library, he could learn anything.
The kid continued on his path of growth and became an academic leader in his school. The kid had learned to read books and realized that he could change his love for reading into learning. The mother knew what her boy was able to do and believed he could do it better. The boy who was thought to be very stupid when he was in 5th grade became a world-famous doctor.
