I suggest you tell some short stories before you talk about enlightenment.
This short story had better be interesting, so as to attract students.
There are many examples to choose from:
dye vat
Mozi was a scholar in ancient China. His theory advocated universal love and frugality, which was different from Confucianism.
Known as the "Mohist School".
One day, Mozi led his students through a dye factory and saw the shopkeeper throw a wisp of white silk into the dye vat, which immediately changed color. When Mozi saw it, he said with great emotion, "How pure silk is, but when it is thrown into the red jar, it turns red;" Throw it into the blue vat and it will turn blue; Are we born impure? But because of the influence of the day after tomorrow, it has become all kinds of people. "
Revelation:
Every innocent child is a ray of pure white silk, and the environment is a big dye vat. A good environment is like a colorful dye vat, and the dyed silk is bright and dazzling. The harsh environment is like a dye vat, and the color is turbid, which makes people dull. Once silk is dyed, no matter how you wash it, it can't restore its original color. So are children. Once they don't study well in a bad environment, it is not easy to correct them. So we should make ourselves virtuous and be a promising person.
People should stay away from friends and environments that can easily make you bad.
Wang Mian painted lotus flowers.
There was a great painter named Wang Mian in the Ming Dynasty, who was best at drawing lotus flowers. Many people came from far away to get his lotus painting.
Although Wang Mian was famous, he was poor when he was a child. He has to herd cattle for others during the day and study by himself at night.
One day, when Wang Mian was herding cattle by the lake, it suddenly began to rain. The rain stopped for a while, but the lotus and lotus leaves in the lake were washed clean by the rain. Wang Mian liked it so much that he wanted to draw it, so he quickly used his pocket money to buy paper and pens and began to draw. Of course, the painting was not very good at first, but Wang Mian didn't get discouraged and kept painting. Finally, the painting became more and more similar, just like the real thing. Wang Mian took the lotus painting to see and took it home to honor his mother.
Because Wang Mian painted lotus flowers very well, many people insisted on buying them, so his environment gradually improved and he stopped herding cattle for others. At the same time, his fame spread far and wide, and he eventually became a famous great painter in China.
Revelation:
No expert will become an expert, and the reason why an expert can become an expert is that he spends more time studying than ordinary people. The longer he studied, the deeper he studied and the more refined he learned. Wang Mian was not born to paint lotus flowers, but insisted on painting them for a long time. If he is not good at painting, he will paint again until he looks like a painter. So, regardless of our study.
Everything should have this spirit of diligence and perseverance.
Listen to what people say.
Zhang San said to Li Si one day, "A duck of a family laid 100 eggs at a time." Li Si didn't believe it and said, "Is there such a thing?" Zhang San said, "It turned out to be two ducks." Li Si said, "Impossible." Zhang San added, "Three." Li Si still didn't believe it, but Zhang Sanyi increased one by one. Finally, Li Si got bored and said, "Why don't you lose eggs?" Zhang San said, "The news I heard is one hundred eggs!" " Li Si ignored him.
Unexpectedly, Zhang San said again, "I heard that a piece of meat fell from the sky last month, 30 feet long and 10 feet wide." Li Si said, "Is this the case?" Zhang San changed his tune and said, "Then it's twenty feet long." Li Si added, "Impossible." Zhang San added, "Ten feet then." Li Si was very angry and scolded him, saying, "Is there anything under the sun that is ten feet long? Have you seen it? And the duck you just mentioned, did you see it? " Zhang San was very embarrassed to answer: "No, I heard it from others."
Revelation:
One thing is passed around, and in the end it must be far from the original fact. Because the speaker doesn't necessarily remember everything, and the listener often listens to the executioner; At the same time, people who send messages will more or less embellish it, and after several people's word of mouth, it will naturally change. After we hear a news, we must confirm it before accepting it, otherwise making mistakes again and again will become a rumor.
Carving bow
Once upon a time, there was a hunter who was very good at archery Every time the young people in the village go out hunting together, he catches the most animals, so everyone gives him a title called "Hunting King".
The bow used by the hunting king is ordinary, and its appearance is inconspicuous. After he got the title of hunting king, he thought, "My social status is very different from before. If I use this ugly bow again, I will be laughed at. " So he threw away the old bow.
In addition, someone made a new bow with a very delicate pattern engraved on it. Everyone couldn't help touching and boasting. The hunting king is even more proud.
One day, an archery competition was held in the village, and the hunting king came to the competition site with a beautiful new bow. When it was the hunting king's turn to appear, everyone applauded, ready to see him show his skill.
I saw the hunting king draw out his bow and arrow, and the beautiful carved bow was broken on the spot when the string was tightened. Everyone present burst into laughter, and Wang Yi was flushed and embarrassed for a long time.
Revelation:
We often think that new and beautiful things are the best, but they are not. Just like a pair of new shoes that don't fit the size, they are definitely not as comfortable as old shoes; Similarly, a cement house that cuts corners is not necessarily stronger than a wooden house. When using an electrical appliance, the most important thing is not whether it looks good or not, but whether it can play a practical role.
imperious
One day, Confucius passed by Mount Tai by car and saw a woman throw herself on the grave, crying very sadly. Confucius was very sympathetic to the woman in the car, so he asked his student Luz to ask her what was going on.
The woman replied, "Of course I'm sad! In the past, my father-in-law was killed by an old play bone, and my husband was killed by a tiger. Now my son has been eaten by a tiger! "
Confucius asked her, "Then why don't you leave and stay here?"
The woman said, "Because there are many tigers here, after all, there is no tyranny!" "
Revelation:
Tigers are so fierce that everyone is afraid. The woman's father-in-law, husband and son were all eaten by tigers, so it is reasonable to say that they should be able to ride horses.
As far away from the tiger as possible. But she stayed, because there were no tigers in other places, but there was tyranny; Living in the shadow of tyranny is more terrible than living in the shadow of a tiger.
People in producing countries often want to run to the free world, just because it is much better to risk their lives to go to freedom than to live under tyranny. If we can live in a free world, we should cherish the grace given by God and strive to enrich ourselves in order to serve our country.
freedom
One day, Zhuangzi was fishing by the Pu River. On one occasion, Chu Weiwang sent two ministers to invite Zhuangzi to his court to be the prime minister of Chu.
Zhuangzi was not tempted at all. He still took the fishing rod and asked the two ministers: "I heard that there is a kind of turtle in your country, which has been dead for 3,000 years. The king of Chu has been enshrined in the temple; Do you think that turtle would rather be sacrificed when he is dead, or would rather crawl around on the ground alive? "
Both ministers said, "I'd rather crawl on the ground alive."
Zhuangzi said, "Yes! Please go back! I'd rather walk freely on the ground. "
Revelation:
Zhuangzi was a famous scholar in ancient China. He did not seek fame and fortune all his life, but yearned for an unrestrained and free life. So when the king of Chu asked him to be prime minister, he immediately refused.
Freedom is what human beings have been fighting for since ancient times; France revolutionized for freedom, and the United States also revolutionized for freedom. Now we live in Taiwan Province Province, a treasure island, free and happy; On the contrary, mainland compatriots are locked in the iron curtain and have no freedom at all, which is very pitiful. Nevertheless, they tried their best to escape from the Iron Curtain and strive for freedom, which proved the value of freedom.
