Chapter 6

Chapter 1 Verse 6 What if you only had three days of light in your life?

You should cherish possession and experience this bright world with your heart. ? ?

Helen?Keller's life began with misery. When she was one year and seven months old, a sudden high fever caused by scarlet fever made her blind and deaf, and became a disabled person. ?
Because deafblind children do not have access to correct information, and cannot communicate and play with others, she has a surly personality and a bad temper. ?
At the age of seven, Anne?Teacher Sullivan came to her side, and has been with Helen day and night for half a century since then. ?
On the day Sullivan came to Helen's house as a tutor, he gave Helen a doll, and slowly and repeatedly spelled the word "d—o—l—l" (toy doll) on Helen's little hand with his fingers. ?
From then on, Helen began to understand that everything in the world has its own name, and knew her own name.Since then, through hard work, Helen has successively learned and mastered French, German, Latin, and Greek, and has been hailed as "the greatest achievement in the history of education". ?
At the age of ten, Helen began to learn to speak, because her "dumbness" was caused by hearing loss, and her vocal cords were not damaged.But because she couldn't hear other people's voices or her own, she could only use her hands to feel the movement of the teacher's throat and lips when she pronounced, and then imitated and corrected the pronunciation thousands of times.Finally, she finally learned to speak and toured the world many times. ?
In addition to her love of books, she also likes horseback riding, swimming, boating, and loves drama and performing arts. ?
In her great autobiography "If You Give Me Three Days of Light", Helen wrote a touching sentence:?

"Please think about this question: If you only had three days of light, how would you use your eyes? Thinking that after three days, the sun would never rise before your eyes again, how would you spend those precious days?" Three days? Where will you let your eyes stay??
"I, a blind man, would like to give you one reminder to those who see, and one advice to those who are not good at using your eyes: think that you may become blind tomorrow, and use your eyes well. Can be applied to other organs. Thinking that you may become deaf tomorrow, you will better hear the sound, the song of the bird, the clang of the orchestra. Touch everything you touch, if tomorrow your The nerves of touch are about to fail; smell the fragrance of all flowers, taste the taste of every morsel of food, if tomorrow you can neither smell nor taste again. Let every organ do its best and serve the world Be proud of the variety of pleasures and enjoyments of beauty which nature presents to you through the various means of contact which nature provides. But of all the organs, I believe that sight is the most pleasing to the eye."?
Mind walk?

Helen?Keller's story is well known to everyone, and of course her story is often mentioned by psychologists, but it is not used to explain strong will, but to explain "sensational deprivation". ?
In an absolutely quiet and lonely environment, almost no one can endure for more than three days; even if they can do some simple things after the experiment, they will make frequent mistakes, have difficulty concentrating, and it will take more than three days to return to normal state.This is "sensory deprivation". ?
Due to physical defects, Helen was once in a state of severe sensory deprivation, but what is commendable is that Helen overcame her own destiny with her strong will and embarked on a wonderful and meaningful life path.My friend, if you only had three days of light in your life, what would you do?Will you cherish this short-lived happiness and prepare to meet those inevitable setbacks in life with a strong will? ?
