Among all the education methods, the simplest and most unrestricted "zero-cost" education method is a kind of "house-building education" that we will talk about below.

Yu Minhong, who created China's No. [-] English training brand "New Oriental", attributes all his success to the inspiration of his father.

Yu Minhong's father was a carpenter and often helped others build houses.Every time he would pick up the broken bricks and tiles that others discarded and take home.Sometimes when walking on the road, I saw bricks or stones on the side of the road, and I always took the trouble to take them back.Over time, a messy pile of rubble appeared in the yard.Yu Minhong didn't understand why his father took the effort to get back a pile of messy bricks, he just felt that the yard was made even more crowded by his father.

One day, Yu Minhong saw his father measuring left and right in the yard, digging trenches, and building walls with mud.After a long time, a small square house was actually built. My father drove the livestock that had been raised in the open air into the small house, and the yard became much cleaner and tidy. A kind of pig house.
The father's actions shocked the son, "I think my father is amazing, he built a house by himself."When he grew up, he gradually discovered that his father's act of building a house had become a force to motivate him.

Yu Minhong's father's education method is very simple: put your head down and work hard, but the rewards you get are the most objective.The three crucial things in Yu Minhong's life all proved the benefits of "house building education".Regarding the college entrance examination, Yu Hongmin has a clear goal: to go to university, he failed in the first year; in the second year, he still failed; "I didn't pick up enough bricks", and in the third year he continued to "pick up bricks" desperately, Finally admitted to Peking University.

Regarding memorizing English words, his goal is to "become one of the best English vocabulary teachers in China", so he began to memorize words one by one.Forgetting, memory, forgetting, memory... Whenever he felt pain, the image of his father picking up bricks appeared in front of his eyes, and he finally memorized [-] words.

Regarding entrepreneurship, his goal is to make New Oriental the best English training institution in China.Then he started to teach the students, with an average of 6-10 hours of lessons per day. Many teachers collapsed or gave up halfway through. "Every time I take a class, I feel that I have picked up an extra brick, and I dream of building the house of New Oriental."

In fact, Yu Minhong's father was not only building a house, but also taught his son an ideological education class: if you work hard and think hard, you can do anything well.Once a person can use both hands and brains, he is omnipotent.Everyone wants their child to be the next founder of "New Oriental", so you must first become Yu Minhong's father figure.

Here are some suggestions for fathers who have been, are, or are about to put their heads down:

1. See if you are doing the right thing.

Although this is a bit ridiculous to say, in real life, there are many people who work hard on things that are not very correct: such as buying lottery tickets and persevering until they go bankrupt; the child keeps asking you to spend more time with him, but you never Adopt his opinion; have not had in-depth communication with the child for a long time... If accompanied by these symptoms, the father's hard work may end in the opposite direction.

2. Let your children see your efforts.

Many children will say when chatting, if only I were a father.After returning home, watch TV, read newspapers, and direct and direct.It can be seen that in the eyes of the children, the father is simply too emperor.In fact, is there any father who doesn't weather the wind and rain outside, running around to socialize for the family?Therefore, the stories and images of your hard work must be shown in front of your children.If Yu Minhong hadn't seen his father picking up bricks and building a house, he wouldn't be able to sum up the true meaning of life by himself.

The reason why this kind of education is the easiest to operate, and there is no degree of difficulty, is because fathers actually need to do their own things well in front of their children, and do not need to spend a lot of effort on educational skills, and do not need to consider their own "Educational Rhetoric".However, how many people can actually do it is still unknown.Because the simpler things are, the harder it is for us to do well.
