Fall in love with school, no longer tire of learning

Chapter 32 Correct understanding of dropping out of school (3)
Bill Gates' parents are also very concerned about the growth of teenagers.In their simple way of life, they care more about the growth and education of young people, and they always try to stay with young people as much as possible after work.The family is constantly engaged in a variety of games, from board games to jigsaw puzzles, covering almost every kind of puzzle game.

With the growth of age, the environment in the family can no longer meet the further development of Bill Gates' talent.Little Bill sometimes blames his mother for her lack of intelligence!Therefore, the parents turned their attention to the society and actively looked for Bill's space.In one event, Bill Gates prepared a report for the class called "Investing in Gates Corporation."The report became almost a family affair. His grandmother helped to make the cover, and even his father stepped in to help, and the atmosphere was very lively.

After graduating from elementary school, his parents sent him to Lakeside Middle School after consulting Bill Gates.At Lakeside Middle School, Bill became obsessed with computers, which made him devote his entire life.

When Bill Gates was studying in Lakeside Middle School, he often arranged his studies according to his personal hobbies.Bill Gates is doing really well in his favorite subjects, like math and reading.Every time the parents saw the report card that Bill brought back, even though they knew that Bill would learn better in some subjects, they didn't pull down their faces and blame Bill Gates.

After graduating from high school, Bill Gates really wanted to study at Harvard University, which is also the greatest wish of his parents.Fortunately, Bill Gates' parents didn't treat teenagers as personal property like other parents did, and they had to let teenagers do what their parents liked.After calm thinking, the parents gave up the idea of ​​letting their son become a lawyer and let Bill Gates develop freely in the university field.This helped Bill Gates a lot.

But one year later, a bigger problem faced Bill Gates' parents: Bill Gates was going to leave Harvard, give up his studies, and start a computer company with others!

Bill spoke with his parents many times, expressing his thoughts calmly.What can parents who know their son's temperament and ambitions say!Perhaps the son's talent and computer career are the best fit!Bill Gates resolutely left Harvard University, which has attracted hundreds of millions of students, and began to make great achievements in the software field.

Obviously, Bill Gates' success is the result of his talent and family education.Bill's case tells us: ①We should constantly activate the talents of young people, and pay attention to the cultivation and protection of the talents of young people; ②It is very important to cultivate the ability of concentration of young people.

Let us take a look at Bill Gates' family education for their children.Under the care of his family, Bill Gates' talent to concentrate on one thing is very obvious. In 1975, Bill officially founded Microsoft Corporation, and more than 20 years later he became the richest man in the world, with assets of nearly 200 billion US dollars!Although he has a lot of money, he has set a good example for teenagers in how to spend wisely.

There is a saying that "wealthy families make losers". Gates is deeply aware of the negative impact and even harm that money brings to young people. He would rather donate a large amount of money to social charities than give a penny more Children spend freely.In the past five years alone, Gates and his wife have donated more than $5 billion to the society.

He is so generous to the society, but very "stingy" to his children.He has repeatedly declared separately: "I will not leave a lot of money to my heirs, because I don't think it will be good for them." Frugal family tradition, they understand that everything can only be won by their own struggle.

Not only that, Gates also established a father image for teenagers who lived an extremely simple life and was not extravagant and wasteful through precepts and deeds.Once Gates and a friend drove to the Hilton Hotel for a meeting. Because they were late and couldn't find a parking space, the friend suggested that they park the car in the VIP parking space of the hotel, but Gates strongly opposed it: "This is not a good price. $12."

Looking back at our current family education, many of them are quite different from Gates' principles of being a father.Many of our parents, for the only child who is regarded as the jewel in the palm and the treasure in the mouth, are afraid that life will suffer and be tired.Or the individual really went through hardships and hardships in the past, and now wants to seek compensation from young people, so he is extremely generous in front of young people, and almost responds to young people's demands for money. The New Year's money is hundreds or even thousands of dollars, and they often stay together. One sentence in the mouth is: "The wealth of Dad will not be yours in the future!" This invisibly instills a concept in the teenagers: anyway, individuals can live well in the future without much effort.As a result, scenes of tragedies were staged: starting from the squandering of money since childhood, and ending with going astray and breaking the law.As the saying goes, "Success comes from diligence and thrift, failure comes from extravagance", such fatherly love and motherly love, the more intense the love, the deeper the harm.

Gates, the richest man in the world, has been "naked donation" for a long time. Why doesn't he leave an inheritance to his children?Because he has obtained everything he has today through study and hard work, he does not want his children to know how to rely on their parents' wealth, but not to learn and struggle.

For the healthy growth of young people in the future, I hope that young people will study hard, succeed as soon as possible, and not rely too much on their parents.
