The Young Boy is My Teacher: Influential (Weekend 77 Topic))

Every human being has the ability to influence others, both positively and negatively (unless they aren't aware of it). So, is it a "give and take" situation or not? This is my entry for @galenkp The Weekend challenge this week.

The community has been celebrating the development of Hive and the price of Hive coin over the last several days. So I'll tell you about someone who has had a significant beneficial impact on my life.

1.Who is that?

He was like a teacher to me, since he assisted me in learning a great deal and taught me many valuable things that have shaped the way I live. He is currently 12 years old, and his teachers deemed him to be a terrible student who was frequently disruptive and hostile to teachers at school.

2.How has he influenced and impacted me?

He is a respected teacher in my eyes because he does not teach me anything and instead motivates me to learn.
I visited his family and spoke with him informally on several occasions, mostly outside the church grounds close to my house. And I was able to deduce the reasons:

  • His preferred subjects aren't well-educated or promoted, resulting in poor grades. Parents and teachers are always focused on grades and results, leaving little room for personal hobbies. During class A, he told me, he covertly opened a book in subject B to read (favorite subject).

His knowledge of history, geography, and the natural world astounded me on numerous occasions (pictured is a contest between me and him imagining how to lead the army as a commander in terms of defense and fortress of the army). Fortress in medieval Europe)

=> The lesson I learned is that I live my life doing what I enjoy and learning what I want to learn; no one can make me cram or compel me to follow a pattern they believe is correct.

  • Disrespect for the teacher is a serious offense.
    When I visit my family, he is usually overjoyed and says that only I understand him. I frequently connect humor to the phrase "question gentleman." He is constantly inquisitive and in search of answers to all of life's questions. Answers to questions that appear to be straightforward or well-known. That's when he bombards teachers with questions, and perhaps they're proud of their ignorance or refusal to allow children to be self-sufficient. Only beyond the pre-determined curriculum's knowledge base.

=> The lesson I learned: information is limitless; always ask questions and look for answers. Stopping to think or thinking in a specific direction is extremely dangerous, since it obscures each person's unique value. It will be incredibly boring to live in a society where everyone thinks, speaks, and acts the same way.

3: The most significant impact I recall.
According to the Vietnamese lunar calendar, it is the customary Tet 2020 at the end of the new year. It is customarily the time when a big number of families assemble for a year-end supper in that culture. After a long period of conversing and dinner. I selected a dark place in the yard around 10 p.m., when everyone was about to go to bed, and sat in front of a bonsai decked with 7-color led string lights (similar to a Western information NOEL site). I was engrossed in my thoughts. Consider the man for a long time, reflecting on the previous year and making plans for the coming year, with everyone paying attention to the source of economic damage.

Fortunately, he took a seat next to me, and we didn't speak to each other. After about 5 minutes, I asked him what he was thinking because he seemed so happy. He responded without pausing to think, simply staring at the tree and the shifting colors of the led lights and leaves. That response took a long time for me to recover from.

I noticed that my quest for happiness was frequently split between the past and the future. I was concerned about what was going through my head prior to the event. Forgetting the things that are lovely and make me happy in the present is like forgetting the tree in front of me, which I find monotonous and uninteresting. The only difference is in "perception" and "attitude." The beauty of the color bands changing the beat of the lead string, and the colors reflected on the fruit of that tree, became apparent only then. That realization has accompanied me through all of my challenges in life and at work ever since. Live happier, more fulfilled lives, and appreciate the basic beauties of people, nature, and animals.

He also exudes an unexpectedly warm optimism. Despite having damaged shoulder blades, I ascended the ladder to the roof camping with me and made a lot of mistakes:D

Consider the old adage, "Children find everything where there is nothing, and adults find nothing when there is everything."

Again, thank you to my young teacher and everyone who listened to that story.

"Children find everything where there is nothing, and adults find nothing when there is everything."

I love this saying and I'm glad that this "disruptive student" has you as his friend :) He sounds like a wise and clever young man.

that's exactly it, a brainwashed, crammed education with a focus on what to learn and the pursuit of achievement leaves him uninterested even though he's not aware of it. He's very smart about the world around him, and I'm glad I listened to him and cheered him on
