What Educator did was just to cultivate his pupils’ self-learning ability
Wei Shusheng’s experience enlightened Wang Xiaoping greatly, and she felt self-learning could have the same or even greater effect as school learning. And then, an idea occurred to her: to quit school and do self-learning at home. When Wang Xiaoping told this idea to her mother, her mother thought she was only joking, but later when she found she really had made up her mind, her mother got angry, saying sulkily: “No! How should you think so? Giving up the normal road, how can you cope with the future?” Even her father who often encouraged her to read more books also hesitated over a word when hearing Wang Xiaoping’s decision. Finally, it was still her father who really understood her, and he asked: “Why are you going to take this way?” Wang Xiaoping screwed up her courage, and uttered all the reasons she had thought up at once. After hearing her thoughts, her father said: “When doing something, you should not only think of the good aspects, but should also consider the bad aspects. Do you know what a consequence such a choice will bring about? When you give up collage education, you will only have a diploma of junior middle school. When all your classmates have graduated from college, but you have not achieved anything, how will you feel? Then, what’s to be done? Have you ever thought about all those problems? Before making a decision, you must make clear about all those problems. Remember such a saying：Only a negation that cannot be affirmed is a reliable negation；Only an affirmation that cannot be negated is a reliable affirmation. Before making your decision, do that kind of negation yourself first.”
