A good dad is better than a rich dad

Chapter 81 4 Short Answer Questions: How much do you expect your child to surpass you
"Son, you must be better than your parents in the future." Many parents have said this to their children, always feeling that their life is not satisfactory, and hope that their children can surpass themselves and live a better life.This is human nature, but there is a phenomenon worthy of "preoccupation": after the parents say this sentence, it is like setting their own life, and it is impossible to do anything in this life, so they feel at ease Based on the status quo, progress and struggle are all the children's business, so parents don't have to think about it anymore.

The question is, if your own level is average, even if your child surpasses you, how much can your child surpass you?For example, if you are Bill Gates, it may be really difficult to tell your child to surpass yourself, but if you are a father who achieves nothing, the child will surpass you casually, compared to his In terms of aptitude and potential, surpassing you is nothing.

A teacher moved, so naturally "full of books".The moving company asks for a price increase.

"I still have some books to move, how much do you want to add?" "Take me to have a look." So the teacher led the master, who was all black and sweaty, into the study room, which contained dozens of packed books. The box made him stunned for a moment.

"What do you say you are looking at these? They can't be eaten as food." The master said while kicking the box with his feet. One hundred!"

The master and the worker moved a few boxes and were so tired that they were out of breath. They asked for a higher salary: "No, you have to buy water for us." After moving a few more boxes, they said, "No, you have to buy us cigarettes."

"Oh, it's such a hassle to move, I just throw away these books!" The teacher was so angry that he just wanted to do it himself.

"I said brother, how old are you this year?" Only after asking this did I know that they are the same age.

"Actually, I really want to thank these books. My family was poor back then. If I hadn't been rushing to study, I would definitely be pulling bricks on the construction site today. I am not in good health, and I would definitely starve to death after working hard." When the moving master heard this, he never complained about the books again, "I didn't want to read books when I was in school, otherwise I wouldn't move you. Tell my son when I go home, and use my stories to educate and educate he."

"Actually, I think that if you want to educate your children to love reading, you should first learn to read and let your children see your progress in reading. I have some magazines here, which are very well written. You can take them home and have a look. Just take it as an example for the children.” The brother who moved was overjoyed and moved a box of magazines without feeling heavy at all.

"Thank you, I am a little embarrassed to educate my children in such a state."

Same age, different fate.Today's kids are on the same starting line, but ten or twenty years from now, how big will the gap be between them?We all know that the gap is accumulated bit by bit, so we urge our children to work hard and not relax, but they don't seem to care.Because fathers always "sit and talk", they can feel too little life philosophy and positive emotions from their fathers, and the principles that are too far away from life have no charm.

When fathers are guessing at the wine table and fighting for wine, at the mahjong table, when they are clearing the door, Haidilao, when they are crying for the stock market, the children can see from us what we usually call "" The preciousness of knowledge", "the strength of perseverance", "diligence", "persistence", "passion" and so on?You can't see it, so you can't feel it, you can't learn it, and you can't surpass it.

When the child is working hard, what the father is doing is the indicator that can best explain whether the education is in place.Dad himself works very hard, so the reason for working so hard can be understood by children without talking about it.When a child has a father who keeps improving, his starting point in life is much higher than others.This is the real "win at the starting line".
