A good dad is better than a rich dad

Chapter 76 6 Son, You Have to Work Hard

When my son was doing homework, he often asked his mother for help. My mother was very enthusiastic at first, but when she found out that the child didn't know how to do it, but just didn't want to use his brain, my mother became very busy and had no time.This time, the son took the exercise book and walked up to the father who was reading the newspaper.

"Dad, can you explain this to me? I can't."

The father put down the newspaper, took his son's hand and said, "Dad will tell you a story first."

Once upon a time, there was a happy little snail. One day, the little snail was very unhappy when he saw from the puddle that he was the only one with hard and thick shells on his back. What about this hard, heavy and ugly shell?" Mom explained: "It's because our body has no bones to support, so we can only crawl slowly. This shell is here to protect us!"

The little snail asked back: "But the little caterpillar has no bones, and it can't climb fast! Why doesn't it need to carry it?" Mom said: "But the caterpillar will become a butterfly when it grows up, and the sky will protect it!"

The little snail asked again: "What about the earthworm? It can't turn into a butterfly, why doesn't it have a shell like ours?"

Mom said: "That's because earthworms will drill into the soil, and the earth will protect it!"

After listening to the little snail, he cried: "We are so pitiful, the sky does not protect us, and the earth does not protect us." Mom comforted the sad little snail, guess what she said?
The child thought hard, and then said: "Mom to protect you?"

No, Mom said: "So we have a shell! This shell is what we use to protect ourselves. Isn't it great to be able to protect ourselves and help ourselves?"

The son suddenly said: "Then I also want to have a shell." Dad smiled and said: "We don't have a shell, but we have a head. The head is used to think about things and solve problems by ourselves, otherwise why do we need it?"

The son understood what his father meant, so he consciously went back to think about the topic.

Many children like to be lazy when doing homework, read the answers in reference books, copy the test questions of classmates, or ask parents, cousins, etc. to help.If it is a girl, everyone will generally tolerate it, because girls are really not good at math problems sometimes; but if it is a boy, Dad must control this matter in time in most cases, so that he can learn to think independently.

In fact, a person's ability to think also has a "Matthew effect": the better a thinker can think, the less able a person who doesn't want to think can think.If the father fails to encourage the children to think in time, they will slowly give up the ability to think and label themselves as "not good at thinking", just like a flea in a glass.

Some people have done such an experiment: they put fleas on the table, and when they patted the table, the fleas jumped up immediately, and the jumping height was more than 100 times their height!Then put a glass dome over the flea's head and let it jump again; this time the flea touched the glass dome.After several times in a row, the flea changed its jumping height to adapt to the environment, and each time it jumped, it always kept below the height of the hood.

Next, the height of the glass cover was gradually changed, and the fleas actively changed their height after hitting the wall.Finally, the glass cover is close to the table, at which point the fleas can no longer jump.The scientist opened the glass cover and patted the table again, but the fleas still did not jump and turned into "crawling fleas".

A flea becomes a "crawling flea", not because it loses the ability to jump, but because it gets used to it and becomes numb.Even though the glass cover is no longer there, it doesn't even have the thought of "trying again".

Self-limitation is the biggest obstacle in life, because the height of thinking that fathers and mothers can reach is limited after all. If children give up their ability to think on their own, they will never surpass the influence of their parents.The sorrow of many people is not that they don't work hard, but that they always love to set a lot of rules for themselves. This kind of rules limits people's imagination and courage to forge ahead. It seems that they are busy all day long, but in fact they have already Put on the terrible shackles, doomed to be mediocre.

If it is a girl, we may have other expectations for her, and this expectation does not affect her being a happy person; but if it is a boy, there is no ability to think and standards for judging right and wrong, The perils of his life will be foreseeable.Nothing is more important than cultivating a boy's independent and hardworking spirit.He was destined to grow into a man who would support his family.
