The problem of self-education
A person has committed a crime or even a crime. Or just did not live up to the hopes that he had been entrusted with. Or those that he imposed on himself. Did not take place. It seemed like something, it turned out to be nothing. Look for explanations. He is looking for them himself. More often than not an explanation, just an excuse.
The surrounding blame the family, the school, the collective, the circumstances. And he himself blames the family, the school, the collective, the circumstances.
In the last century, for such explanations and excuses, the formula “Wednesday Saw” was found.
Once it sounded convincing, then depreciated, it acquired a parody sound.
“Why are you drinking?” – “Wednesday has eaten!”, “Why are you idling?” – “Wednesday zalela!”, “Why take bribes?” – “The environment has eaten!” Above this answer began to banter, then laugh, then scoff.
However,
Yes, parents, family, school, all and any collectives give a person or give him a lot. But of all the circumstances that shape the person, the most important is his own conscious attitude to his own life, to his own thoughts and plans, and first of all to his own actions.
Contemporaries and descendants have long remembered and honored those who, through the hard work of self-education, determined their fate by overcoming unfavorable conditions.
In ancient Greece, there were many remarkable speakers. But most remember Demosthenes. Demosthenes was born in 384 BC. e. Early lost his father, guardians cruelly deceived him, assigning his father’s inheritance. Demosthenes decided to achieve justice. He became a judicial speaker and obtained the verdict
He hung a sword over his shoulder, so that the injections would wean him from nervous twitching. And finally, he subdued listeners with the content and beauty of his speeches. The first political speech Demosthenes said, advocating the preservation of Athens’s independence against the attempts of the Macedonian king Philip II to subordinate Athens to his power. Then he again said many times against King Philip II – “Filippiki”, they were preserved in history as examples of unsurpassed eloquence, noble in content and beautiful in form, and for many centuries became an example for speakers. The very name “Demosthenes” has acquired a common noun. The history of Demosthenes’ life, the tenacity with which he defeated the circumstances, overcame the obstacles, seemingly irresistible, and managed to become what he aspired, is instructive for our time.
