QUOTES FROM THE BOOKS OF JOHN RONALD REUEL TOLKIEN

QUOTES FROM THE BOOKS OF JOHN RONALD REUEL TOLKIEN 

(I appreciate Wikipedia for providing the above picture. Please let me know if it is against copyright.)

The world is full enough of hurts and mischances without wars to multiply them.

There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep.

There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something.

It is useless to meet revenge with revenge; it will heal nothing.

It's the job that's never started as takes longest to finish.

No Victory without Suffering.

Where there's life there's hope.

Deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised.

False hopes are more dangerous than fears.

THE PRINCIPLES AND THEORY OF MONTESSORI EDUCATION

THE PRINCIPLES AND THEORY OF MONTESSORI EDUCATION

(I appreciate Confinity for providing the above picture. Please let me know if it is against copyright.)

The principles of Montessori education were developed by Doctor Maria Montessori over many years of experimentation and observation. They are based on respect for students’ learning process. From the beginning, Doctor Montessori based her work on her observations of kids and experimentation with the learning space, materials, and lessons available to them. She opened her first classroom, the Casa dei Bambini in a tenement building. The classroom was established to serve underprivileged kids who many thought were unable to learn. She frequently referred to her work as scientific pedagogy. Montessori education is based on a model of human development. The Montessori Theory is an educational approach that emphasizes individualized instruction and self-paced learning.

Respect student

This involves respecting the uniqueness of every kid - their choice of their own work, their interests, their movement, correction of their own mistakes, and their own work pace. Montessori educators work and interact with children from a place of genuine respect.

Individualized learning

Montessori learning programs are personalized to each child based on their unique stage of development, interests, and needs. Lessons with the Montessori materials are presented one-on-one based on each student’s academic progress. Educators track each kid’s progress and support them as they progress through the curriculum.

The absorbent mind and the Sensitive stages

Doctor Maria Montessori’s research determined that the first six years of life are the most crucial in a kid’s development. She termed it the stage of the absorbent mind to describe the kid’s sponge-like capacity to absorb information from their learning space. During this time, kids rapidly develop an understanding of their culture, and their world, and construct the foundations of their intelligence and personality. Doctor Maria Montessori also observed that students go through specific stages in their development when they are most capable of learning specific knowledge areas and abilities. She described these stages are windows of opportunity for learning. Characteristics of sensitive periods include intense focus, repetition, commitment to a task, and greatly extended time of concentration.

Independence

Montessori is an education for independence. It provides students with the classrooms, materials, and guidance to learn to do and think for themselves. It views kids as born learners who are capable and willing to teach themselves when provided with the right stimulus. The ultimate goal of Montessori education is independence.

Auto education and intrinsic motivation

One of the core principles of the Montessori Method is the concept of auto-education. It’s based on the belief that students are capable and willing to teach themselves if they are provided with interesting learning stimuli. Montessori materials were developed to meet this need and empower kids with the ability to direct their own education. Montessori educators provide the prepared learning space, guidance, and the encouragement for students to educate themselves. The Montessori approach takes the view that learning is its own reward. In the Montessori classroom there aren't any rewards for students’ learning. They derive a sense of accomplishment from completing an activity and learning to do it for themselves.

Educating the whole kid with every aspect

Montessori education is focused on nurturing each kid’s potential by providing learning experiences that support their intellectual, physical, emotional and social development. In addition to language and mathematics, the Montessori Curriculum also covers practical life, sensorial, and culture. Every aspect of kids’ development and learning are intertwined and viewed as equally important.

Prepared classroom

The Montessori classroom is a carefully prepared learning space where everything has a purpose and a place. There is a distinct sense of order that assists kids in developing logical thought processes. Within this learning space, students follow their interests, choose their work, and progress at their own pace.

I am among those who think that science has great beauty.

Scientists believe in things, not in person.

You must never be fearful of what you are doing when it is right.

Never to let one’s self be beaten down by persons or by events.

Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

One never notices what has been done. One can only see what remains to be done.

We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.

明君和贤相典故

唐太宗李世民是一个英明盖世的明君，他开创了著名的贞观之治，虚心纳谏开疆拓土，厉行俭约轻税薄赋，使百姓休养生息，各民族和睦相处国泰民安，为后来唐朝极盛时期的开元盛世奠定了重要基础。魏征又名称魏徵，在唐太宗即位以后，他作为太宗的重要谏议大夫，曾恳切要求太宗使他充当对治国有用的良臣。魏征以才识超卓、耿直不曲敢于直谏著称。此大臣每进切谏，虽极端激怒太宗，却不顾个人安危，神色自若不稍动摇，使太宗为之折服。为了维护和巩固唐朝的统治，魏征曾先后陈谏200多事，劝戒太宗以历史的教训为鉴，励行图治任贤纳谏，以仁义道德行事，他的大多数劝戒受到了太宗采纳。现在让我们一起来看唐太宗与魏征的君臣佳话。

魏征曾请假去故乡，回来后对皇上说：“听人说，皇上打算去山上游玩，一切已安排妥当整装待发。可居然又不去了，是什么原因呢？” 唐太宗笑答：“起初确实有此打算，可担心你责怪，所以就半路停下了。”

有一次，唐太宗问学识渊博为人正直的魏征说：“历史上的人君，为什么有的人明智，有的人昏庸？” 魏征说：“多听听各方面的意见，就明智；只听单方面的话，即昏庸。治天下的人君如果能够采纳下面的意见，那末下情就能上达，一些人即使想蒙蔽皇上都蒙蔽不了。” 唐太宗肯定魏征说得多好啊！

话说唐太宗李世民是人不是神，人都有生气时，他认为我是一个皇上，魏征就不能在朝堂之上让我，给我留些面子吗？可即使魏征把李世民劝火了，明君唐太宗仔细思量以后，却选择宽宏大量，甘愿让此谏议大夫折磨自己。

魏征是唐朝著名的谏诤之臣，他之所以敢当面直言，是因为唐太宗乃品德高尚贤明之君！李世民虚心纳谏，对魏征倍加敬重。魏征进谏如故，思尽其用知无不言，从不畏皇上之怒。于是君臣合璧举国得益，终于开创了大唐贞观之治的辉煌盛世。

唐太宗说过那句堪称对魏征人生价值的最佳注释，一个人用铜作镜子，可以照见衣帽是不是穿戴得端正；用历史作镜子，可以看到国家兴亡的原因；用人作镜子，可以发现自己做得对不对。君临天下的皇上，对一个良臣竟倚重如此，这在历史上的确不多见。魏征敢于直谏和唐太宗善于纳谏，在我们看来都特别可贵。

李世民重用魏征，成就一段历史佳话，也吸引天下才子和学子来投奔，大唐迎来了第一个盛世年代。魏征是唐太宗李世民的贤相，对于李世民来说，魏征是他的一面镜子，可以看清楚自己。他们的关系是君臣又是朋友，当然有不和之时，可明君唐太宗和贤相魏征有能力和度量把不和变为和平！
