Ecology of life: An Indian grandfather and his grandson are sitting by the fire. Grandfather tells him: “You know, two wolves live inside every person. One is good, the other is evil. And they constantly fight.
An Indian grandfather and his grandson are sitting by the fire.
Grandfather tells him: “You know, two wolves live inside every person.
One is good, the other is evil.And they fight constantly.
“And who wins?” - asks the grandson.
“And the wolf you feed wins,” answered the Indian, looking slyly at his grandson.
“Existence determines consciousness,” wrote K. Marx. And I agree with this formulation up to a certain point in a person’s life. While it (being) rules over us, we are dependent. This refers to the period of infancy and adolescence, when a baby, child, teenager cannot be independent due to certain circumstances. Those. the environment, people and lifestyle shape the consciousness of a small person (although practice shows that for many adults, unfortunately, Existence determines consciousness for a very long time. Therefore, the age limit for “growing up” is very arbitrary.) We grow up when we begin to understand the essence things, phenomena, events of our lives, decide what thoughts will be in our head, how we want to live, what responsibility we want to bear. Only in this way do we begin to form our new reality, different from the past, our new Being.
I remember an anecdote on this topic.
A man sits on a bus and thinks: “I want a car, an apartment, a dacha, a happy family...” An angel stands behind him and quickly writes everything down. I was just getting ready to do all this. And the man thinks further: “... and so that I have all this!” Angel: “Man, you HAD it all!”
Yes, how we think is how we live. Thoughts are real. Therefore, we need to be more attentive to what thoughts arise in our minds. It’s not for nothing that people say: “If you sow a thought, you will reap an action; if you sow an action, you will reap a habit; if you sow a habit, you will reap a character; if you sow a character, you will reap a destiny.”
In recent years, I have come to the next discovery, which I can express in one phrase: “Before you think, think!”
Both the parable, the anecdote, and the proverb carry the following hidden meaning: thought is energy. And where we direct our energy, in that direction we will develop or... stumble. If we are angry, offended, hate, then we ourselves, “with our own hands,” direct energy from ourselves to the “enemy,” give it voluntarily, and exhaust our strength. If we think positively, give goodness and joy, then we will be filled with the same. Thinking in categories of the past, which is often filled with negative experiences, and in categories of the future, which is influenced by our fears, uncertainty, anxiety, etc., we, of our own free will, destroy ourselves, “cutting off the branch on which we ourselves are sitting.”
What to do? You need to learn to live for today, learn to think positively, see the “positive” moments of life, “celebrate them, stretch them out over time, savor them, i.e. enjoy them." In other words, “to create, create your Being.”
We must remember that life did not end yesterday and will not begin tomorrow. It is happening now, at this moment, at this moment in time. Maybe it's worth thinking about this?
Class hour on the topic: Before you do, think.
Tasks: explain the essence of the process of thinking about one’s behavior; teach moral assessment of the results of one’s actions; promote setting positive goals for your activities; focus on the volitional process of thinking about one’s behavior, nurturing volitional qualities; develop children's creative abilities; develop discussion skills.
Preparatory work: preparation of questionnaires, paper, pencils, markers.
Participants: class teacher, students.
Class progress
What you shouldn't do, don't do it
even in thoughts.
An ancient rule.
Key hand: Guys, in life we often hear the following proverb: measure seven times and cut once. What similar proverbs and sayings do you know?
Students: (If you knew where you fell, put some straws here. Without asking ford, don’t stick your nose into the water. If you hurry, you’ll make people laugh. Do it in a hurry and it will take a long time.)
Cl hand: What do these proverbs and sayings say? What are they warning about?
Students: - before doing something, you need to think carefully;
If you don’t think about your action, the result may be bad;
If you don’t know what to do, then it’s better to ask your elders (parents) for advice;
There is no need to rush in decisions and actions, think, then act;
You always need to think about the result, otherwise you may not get out of the “ford” (the bad result of an action).
Homeroom teacher: What does it mean to think? And what does a person usually think about?
Students: ()
Cl hand: Every person in his life commits many different actions and actions. There are some things he wants to do and some things he doesn’t want to do. Just desire or unwillingness is not enough. We still need to think about whether this is necessary or not. If necessary, then force yourself. And if it is not necessary, then reflect, take into account your previous (possibly deplorable) experience, as well as the experience of other people. And this means - to imagine the consequences of your words, deeds, and actions. And only then, having thought it over and weighed everything well, a person must make a decision. Do all people do this?
Students: ()
Cl hand: That’s why it is necessary, in order to avoid bad consequences, to think through every word and deed carefully, to consider both its benefits and its possible harm. Moreover, the consequences can be bad both for the people around you and for you.
Cl hand: Guys, before committing any action, a person sets a goal for himself. He thinks why he is doing this. Then he thinks about how to achieve this goal and plans his actions. Often achieving a goal is not an easy process. Sometimes it takes a lot of time to do this, but you are overcome by the thought that maybe it would be better to leave everything and go for a walk. A person faces difficulties and can submit to them and become weak. He is tormented by doubts: is it worth doing everything, maybe it’s good as it is, isn’t it easier to leave everything as it is, etc. What can help in this situation?
(Children's answers)
Key hand: They will help him:
Willpower and endurance;
Persistence;
The ability to realize the positive result of one’s actions;
Help from adults;-
Friends support;
The ability to stop in time, say no to yourself, and not think about entertainment until the intended useful task is completed.
People who can do this are called strong-willed. These, I think, are the majority. But there are also quite a few weak-willed ones. When a weak-willed person encounters difficulties on his way, and they are both external (for example, you need to spend a lot of time, it’s far and inconvenient to get there, bad weather interferes, there is a good movie and other circumstances), and internal (something may not work out for you) due to a lack of knowledge; due to stress, a feeling of fatigue may interfere with you; you are sick and postpone the matter as late as possible, etc.), then he, a weak-willed person, will definitely find an excuse for his inaction. If you wish, you can always find an excuse for yourself. But this does not make a person smarter or stronger in spirit. And the more often a person gives in to himself, to his excuses, the more his will weakens. It is all the more likely that his actions and his life will be controlled by others. A person becomes weak, weak-willed. And that means dependent on others, subordinate.
Key hand: But a strong-willed person knows how to refuse, overcome obstacles and subordinate his mind and his actions to achieving the intended positive goal. What goals have you set for yourself that are met with external and internal obstacles? How successful are you in overcoming them?
Students ()
Cl hand: So, how do we achieve a positive result?
Students:- by overcoming difficulties, through willpower, the ability to force oneself, and the ability to reason intelligently about the benefits of the matter.
Key hand: Do you always have enough willpower to, for example, overcome hostility towards one of your classmates; restrain yourself and not hit, push, be rude, or insult? What is your attitude towards parents and other adults? And your lack of restraint, inability (or unwillingness) to think about the consequences also gives rise to an action, but a negative one, causing harm to everyone: both other people and you. Why does this happen?
Students()
Key hand: Think about what things and actions you have done over the last week? How did you feel? Everyone has colored squares on their desks. Yellow is joy, red is anger, blue is calm, brown is anxiety, black is sadness. You choose the color that best matches your feelings and put it in your notebook. If a person is satisfied with his actions, then choose green.
Cl hand They say that an action speaks volumes about a person. Even before doing something, a person has the opportunity to think about everything. At this time, it’s as if there are two interlocutors in your thoughts. One is “For” and the other is “Against”. This is how the choice of your further actions, your action, is born. And it is very important that the “reasonable interlocutor” wins. The subsequent action reflects your inner qualities as a person (kind or evil, attentive or heartless, responsible or irresponsible, etc.)
Let's summarize:
Before you do something, you need to think about the consequences;
Bad actions harm both yourself and others;
In order not to act badly, you need to imagine yourself in the place of another;
You have to think about the good or be able to stop in time;
If you have done something bad, find the courage to admit it in order to receive a well-deserved punishment;
Know how to analyze your actions, come to the right conclusion and don’t do that again;
A person can respect himself for making the right decision; he must set good goals and achieve them;
A person begins to cultivate his willpower from childhood;
Think more often about “what people will say about you”;
And not only people, it is important to have your own attitude, an assessment of your own actions;
To become a good person, you need to cultivate willpower.
We make a decision:
Set specific goals;
Determine actions and actions for their implementation;
Talk about this with your parents.
Cl hand I would like to end our meeting with the words of Hugo: “Right reasoning leads to right action, rightness of mind leads to justice of heart.”

Class hour on the topic: “Think before you do!”
What you should not do, do not do it even in your thoughts.
An ancient rule.
Progress of the class hour.
Leading : Good afternoon, dear friends! We have gathered today to talk about our lives. What do you think life is?
/children's answers from the audience/
Leading : I think that all people are different, therefore everyone has their own life and their own path.
Student : Life is something that no one has the right to destroy.
Student: Life is a chance and very great opportunities that a person needs to use wisely.
Student: Life is always something beautiful: the sky, the sun, the forest, flowers, people. And all this should be admired.
Student: Life - this is a great love that must be accepted as a gift and this is a dream that one must pursue throughout one’s life.
Student : Life, with its sorrows and joys, is like a song. The songs are different. And everyone has their own, unique life.
Leading : Everyone makes their own choice on which road to follow: the road of creation or the road of destruction. Everyone chooses their own path.
Student : In life, a person has to perform many different actions and actions.
Student : It’s not enough just to want or not to want. We still need to think about whether this is necessary or not.
Student : if necessary, then force yourself, and if not necessary, then reflect, imagine the consequences of your words, deeds, actions.
Student : And only when everything has been well thought out and weighed, a person must make a decision.
Leading : Do all people do this? / answers from the audience / - (all people are different and their actions are different; some people will first say something, even do something bad (offend friends) and then only come to their senses and repent; it’s good if they think about it after the act and draw conclusions for themselves.
Leading : but to decide to do something and bring your decision to a concrete action, reasonable, useful action - this is not a task for the weak. First of all, this concerns meaningful actions to give up bad habits that destroy our lives and health.
Caption: “Boy, give up the cigarette so that evil doesn’t take root!”
Scene (bell rings)
1 student : I run, I run, I can’t stop running. Thank God, here is the threshold. There is a social teacher here.
Social Teacher : Well, my friend, where did you go?
Student : Yes, I had a little smoke break. (approaches another, they sing)
On the porch, around the corner, the two of us smoked. We were quietly smoking, suddenly we see the Director standing. I’m embarrassed, he’s angry, the Cigarette is trembling, which means I have to give up, maybe he’ll forgive me again.
Speech by a social educator. (In his speech, the teacher focuses on the problems of teenagers who are under various types of registration.)
Leading : What harm does smoking cause to a person? The film will tell us about this.
Film screening.
Student. Gather your strength, boy, gather your will. And one day give it all up, don’t smoke anymore!
Student: Early in the morning, open the windows wide, open them quickly, and do better exercises, don’t smoke anymore!
They speak in turns, demonstrating their words with slides, pictures, posters and more:
1st It’s better to run and lose weight than to smoke and get sick.
2nd Try singing instead of smoke and smoking.
3rd Dance, don't smoke! Better take an example from us!
4th Play football with the boys, distract yourself and them from cigarettes!
5th Ride a bike, do it and take your mind off smoking!
6th Instead of smoking and getting everyone sick of it, it’s better to just sit down and dream!
7th It’s better to have a heart-to-heart talk with your friends, ( all together ) But don’t put a cigarette in your mouth, don’t take it!
Leading : They talked about the dangers of smoking, is it only the cigarette that destroys us? The wine is still splashing in the glass, Let's talk about drunkenness for the hundredth time.
Inscription: “Beauty perishes from wine, Wisdom is reduced by wine”
Horace.
Student : If a person is addicted to a glass and a bottle, be sure, he is unhappy. He has a short life!
Student : After a glass of water, everything started to swim around. Who am I? Where? He suddenly asked. So the guy has lost his mind.
Student: Move away the glass, guy, Better think with your head: “I’ll drink, what will happen to my body, my brain and fate?”
Student : If they invite you to a glass, it means they are wishing you harm. You can’t drink away your thirst with wine, you’ll only cause grief.
Student : Vodka is evil, everyone knows that. And he calls him an evil serpent. The serpent prevents people from living. "No!" You shouldn't be friends with him!
Listen to a letter that came to the editor of a newspaper.
/Reads to soundtrack/
I think that the end of my career as a prominent specialist, the end, so to speak, of my human career, came when I, no longer having money for vodka, took the first book from my library to a used bookstore.
Gradually, I sold all the books, which eliminated the need for bookshelves, which I also sold for next to nothing just to buy alcohol. I perked up only at the sight of a bottle, I lived as if in a dream. I was overcome by deep apathy, my circle of interests narrowed more and more until I reached the size of a bottleneck. There were flashes, some glimpses, but less and less often. Alcohol did its dirty work. Tempting prospects, professional growth, a wonderful family - everything is a thing of the past. I was turning more and more into a faceless creature who needed very little to feel earthly joys. This little bit was poured into a cut glass. It's always easier to fall than to rise, and I fell.
Leading : There's no need to even comment. Pass this story through your heart. May you never know the phrase “It’s too late!”
Leading : What does a drunk person like to do?
(Answers from the audience)
That's right.
Student: Then there was also fish soup and jellied giblets. Then they caught the boy and beat him for a long time. Then they went to dance in the hut, Then they fought not out of malice, And they destroyed everything good in themselves.
Speech by a police officer
Leading : And there are thousands and thousands of such cases. If you have taken everything into account, understood everything, then make another effort and decide not to touch the glass.
Leading: Before you do, think: health, joy of life are in your hands.
Bottom line
Good and evil, you walk close, side by side, Now filling everyone with light, now filling everyone with darkness, And in each person everything is different, Well, what is your proportion?
Are you more gloomy, envious and gloomy, And do you feel heavy from your difficult thoughts? Or has the energy of your soul and strength made someone happy and beautiful? Why are you silent? At least answer yourself? Are you ready to sing the beautiful song of life?
Song "Life"
Life is me, it's you and me
Live and be proud of your destiny.
Bringing light and joy to people
Before you do, think
You have to try to be good.
Life is joy, love, dreams
You have to live in such a way as not to smoke the sky
Class hour
on the topic:
“Before you do, think!”
"Before you do,- think!”
Target: Teach children to think about their behavior.
Equipment: notebook for notes; writing on the board: poem; “Rules of deliberate behavior”; flowers.
Progress of the lesson
Class teacher:Everything that motivates a person to activity must go through his head...
In the process of thinking, a person “tries... to mentally “play out” various options for action and feel the meaning that the consequences of his action may have for others and for the person himself.
For example: Case 1 . You were accidentally pushed. It hurts and makes you feel uncomfortable. Your actions.(We listen to the guys, what they would do).Yes, you can swear and scream! And, on reflection, it’s better to politely ask the person to be more careful.
Case 2 . A friend hit you...(Your actions, we listen).Perhaps you are offended. But think for a moment about how to get out of this situation.
You proudly, calmly and with dignity ask Vanya what happened. Vanya will definitely react to this behavior of yours - he will leave and apologize for his breakdown.
Guys, our smaller brothers often act more thoughtfully than you and me. Animals first warn: grin, growl, tail like a pipe, etc. We must always remember that the ability to analyze one’s actions is a precious human advantage. Listen!
My first fight -
With yourself.
When in the line of fire
In front of you - like armor.
And in a whirlwind of furious attacks
Before himself - like a daring enemy.
Where cowardice takes you by the hand,
But courage says:
Forward!
My first fight -
With yourself.
The main battle
The hardest fight -
be able to
Overcome yourself.
And your life, and even death.
It's already easier. . . He is the second!
(R. Farhadi. “My first fight”).
Homeroom teacher: Even in childhood you cannot live like trees and birds without thinking. Perhaps the most important quality for a modern person is the ability to compare one’s goals and actions, and be able to foresee the further consequences of one’s actions.
What do you guys think, have there been times in your life when you later thought - why did I do this? You can tell us about your examples so that your comrades do not make your mistakes. Or did you think about it before doing anything?(Listen to examples).Give specific examples of what you have had to apologize for in your life?(We listen.)
All the examples that we have heard here suggest that thoughtfulness of your behavior is simply necessary in order not to get into very unpleasant situations or later worry about it for a long time and regret that you did it. You always need to think about your actions, tell yourself in time: “Stop! Think!”
When you go to the board in class, you think first and then answer. There, the signal for reflection is an assessment. Nobody wants “2”, but “5” is pleasing to everyone. It’s exactly the same in other situations: you have to think, and then act with words, hands, feet. Listen, guys, to a fairy tale, but very carefully, about the hasty Marten and the patient Tit.
The hasty Marten began to cut out a sundress for summer. Blooper! She shredded all the silk - cut it into shreds. And not like a sundress - a scarf cannot be sewn from these scraps.
The patient Tit began to cut an apron from canvas. He’ll figure it out here, he’ll figure it out there, he’ll move it here, he’ll move it there. She figured everything out, drew everything, then took up the scissors. It turned out to be a good apron. Not a single scrap was wasted. Marten was amazed. He looks at the apron and is jealous:
- Where did you learn cutting and sewing? Tit? From whom?
- My grandmother taught me to sew.
- How did she teach you?
- Yes, very simple. She told me to remember five magic words.
- Which ones?
- Measure seven times and cut once.
Homeroom teacher: Guys, did you like the fairy tale? What conclusion did you draw for yourself? Right. Everyone should learn this proverb and use it in all deeds and actions.
There are many books about childhood: “The Childhood of Bagrov the Grandson” by Aksakov, “The Childhood of Nikita” by A. Tolstoy, books about Gorky’s childhood, “The Little Hero” by Dostoevsky. They help us understand ourselves and understand the complexities of our inner world. And they teach the main thing - to think. Let's listen to a poem by the young K. Marx.
I can't live in peace.
I can't live without a fight
And without a storm, half asleep.
I want to know art -
The best gift from the gods,
By the power of mind and feeling
Ready to embrace the whole world.
So let's get into trouble
And we'll go on a long journey.
So that we don’t live a meager life -
In empty vegetation.
Under the yoke of shameful laziness
We must not drag out this miserable life.
In boldness and in striving, man is sovereign.
Class teacher:Many great people have attached great importance to the formation of deliberate behavior in themselves. II would like to introduce you to the rules of conduct drawn up for myself by K.D. Ushinsky, which are entirely based on the thoughtfulness of the actions and deeds performed. These rules included the following requirements:
- The calm is perfect, at least externally.
- Directness in words and actions.
- Deliberate action.
- Determination.
- Do not speak a single word about yourself unnecessarily.
- Don't spend time unconsciously; do what you want, not what will happen.
- Spend only on what is necessary or pleasant, and not spend out of passion.
- Every evening, conscientiously make an account of your actions.
- Never brag about what was, what is, or what will be.
Class teacher:What correct and necessary thoughts! I ask you to open your notebooks and write down in them: what books you need to read about the childhood of great people; rules of thoughtful behavior.
Conclusion: a person must feel and know how to behave in any situation.
Before you express your opinion to a person, think about whether he is able to accept it.
Do today what others don't want!!!
Tomorrow you will live in a way that others cannot.
Believing that you can does not help as much as believing that it is impossible to do it hinders you.
Life is a mirror that itself shows what we need to do with ourselves and our destiny. If we wake up in the morning and realize that we are unhappy, we need to do something about it.
When you wake up in the morning, ask yourself: “What should I do?” In the evening before falling asleep: “What have I done?”
It only takes one second to ruin everything. And forever won't be enough to fix everything. Therefore, think before you say or do anything.
It doesn't matter if you are better than someone else. What matters is whether you will be better than yesterday.
When you appreciate what you have, and not live in search of ideals, then you will truly become happy.
I have noticed that even those people who claim that everything is a foregone conclusion and that nothing can be done about it, look both ways before crossing the road.
