逆境与成才 孟子曰：“天将降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤，空乏其身……”这句话是说一个人如果要成才要成就一番事业的话，就必须先身受贫穷之苦，在艰苦的环境中磨练意志，奋发向上，然后才有可能成才并完成事业。逆境出人才，大概源于此说。 此说有没有道理？纵观历史，逆境中成才的人倒也比比皆是。谓予不信，请看文学史学大家司马迁在《报任安书》中说：盖文王拘而演《周易》；仲尼厄而作《春秋》；屈原放逐乃赋《离骚》；左丘失明，厥有《国语》；孙子膑脚，《兵法》修列；不韦迁蜀,世传《吕览》；韩非囚秦，《说难》、孤愤；诗三百篇，大抵圣贤发愤之所作也。司马迁本人也是逆境成才的一个典型。 生活中往往有这种奇怪的现象。好手好脚的不如耳聋眼瞎的，体格健全的不如身有残疾的。当代保尔张海迪因病造成高位截瘫，但是她以惊人的毅力与命运抗争。她学会了针灸，成为小有名气的医生。她自学了外语，翻译出版了《海边诊所》。她还通过了研究生考试，获得硕士学位。美国的海伦·凯勒，眼瞎耳聋，说话都很困难，但是她却以优异的成绩大学毕业。而且成为一名掌握英、法、德、拉丁和希腊五种文字，学识十分渊博的著名作家和教育家，她把毕生的精力都献给了世界残疾儿童的教育事业，被誉为十九世纪杰出人物之一。正常人中又多少能获得硕士学位成为教育家呢？为什么逆境使人成才呢？所谓逆境，就是不顺利的环境或艰苦的环境。按理说“逆境”只能给成才带来困难和阻力，身处逆境成才较难。但是逆境一方面给人以困苦饥饿疲乏忧虑，每每不如人意，而另一方面，也正是由于这些困难，坚定了人们的意志，使他们在不断的克服困难求得生存的过程中增添了聪明才干，最终得以成才。 “自古英雄多磨难，从来纨绔少伟男”。是不是身处逆境就一定能成才呢？不是，逆境中成才是有条件的。首先要在逆境中发愤。文王拘、孔子厄、屈原遭放逐、左丘眼失明、吕不韦流放、韩非被关押、孙子遭酷刑，才使他们的著作传之后世。如果不在逆境中奋起，“六经”“诸子”可能就不是他们的专著了。其次是要正视逆境，化逆为顺。因为逆境有时是不以人的意志为转移的。天灾人祸随时都有可能改变人的际遇。身处逆境就不能被逆境所困。别林斯基说过：“逆境是最好的大学”。对于发愤的人来说，“逆境”反而是磨砺意志的砥石，增长才干的激素。第三是要有毅力。张海迪、海伦、凯勒都是凭着惊人的毅力与命运抗争，得以成才的。逆境能使人成才，但逆境与成才是不能划等号的。对于意志薄弱者，对于在逆境中自暴自弃，自甘沉沦的人，逆境只能是他们的坟墓。 “逆境出人才”是人们的一种错觉。客观地说，顺境是比逆境更能出人才的。说“逆境出人才”，这是因为逆境出的人才，其事迹太感人了。人们为了教育好子女，教育好后代，觉得举这些例子更有说服力罢了。千万不能认为逆境就一定能出人才，于是去制造逆境，让子女成才。英文Adversity and successMencius said: "days will be down to the great man also, must suffer, the labor of their bones, their body skin hunger, depletion of their body ... ... " This sentence is said that if one wants to make a career success, you must first experience poverty, will tempering in the tough environment, to make progress, then there may be useful and complete the cause. Adversity makes a man wise, probably derived from this say.There is no reason for this? Throughout history, in the face of adversity talent people but also meet the eye everywhere. Disbelieve, please see the literary history Sima Qian in " a letter to Ren an " in say: cover Wen arrested and play the " book of changes "; Johnny, " spring and Autumn " and Qu Yuan into exile; but " Li Sao " Fu; left blind, syncope is " Mandarin "; grandson bin foot, " art of war " Hewlett; not Wei moved to Sichuan, " Lu Chuan view "; Han Fei Qin. ", " prisoner, the solitary indignation; Psalm three hundred, probably harder for Oracle also. A typical Sima Qian himself is adversity.Often have this strange phenomenon in life. Good players legs as blind and deaf, able-bodied as people with disabilities. Contemporary Paul Zhang Haidi illness caused by high paraplegia, but her perseverance and the fate of amazing. She learned acupuncture, become a little famous doctor. She learned English, translated and published the " seaside clinic ". She also passed the postgraduate exam, earning a master's degree. The United States Helen Keller, deaf and blind, are very difficult to speak, but she graduated with honor from the university. And become a master of Britain, France and Germany, Latin and Greek in five languages, knowledge is very knowledgeable of the famous writer and educator, she devoted all his life to the world of disabled children education, known as one of the outstanding figures in nineteenth Century. Normal person and how to get a master's degree to become educators?Adversity makes a man. Why? The so-called adversity, is not smooth or rough environment. Say normally " adversity " can only bring difficulties and resistance to adversity, talent, talent is more difficult. But adversity hand to give people suffering hunger fatigue, anxiety, often less than satisfactory, but on the other hand, it is because of these difficulties, strengthen the will of the people, so that they in the process continue to overcome difficulties to survive the added ingenuity, eventually to become." The ancient heroes of many tribulations, great men have had bad ". Is it right? I must be able to become? No, in the face of adversity talent is conditional. First try in the face of adversity. Wen arrested, Confucius, Qu Yuan was banished, the left eye blindness, LV Buwei exile, Han Fei is being held, grandson of torture, that later their book transfer. If the rise is not in the face of adversity, " Six Classics " " Zhuzi " may not be their monographs. The second is to face adversity, of inverse shun. Because sometimes adversity is not move with the person's volition. Natural calamities and man-made misfortunes may at any time to change people's fortune. Adversity is not stuck in adversity. Bellinsky said: " adversity is the best university ". For my people, " adversity " instead of volition of whetstone, hormone, growth ability. The third is to have perseverance. Zhang Haidi, Helen, Keller are with perseverance and the fate of incredible struggle, to become the. Adversity can make people become, but adversity and success is not to be equated. The weak-willed persons to give up, in the face of adversity, willingly sink people, adversity is only their graves." Adversity " is an illusion of people. Objectively speaking, prosperity is more talent than adversity. " Adversity ", this is because the adversity of talent, the story is very moving. People in order to educate their children, educate children, feel for these examples more convincing. Do not think that adversity can certainly out of talent, so to create stress, let the children.
