Three, six, nine, etc., the truth should be told to children from an early age

Some time ago, I went to the Guangzhou Embassy in the United States to apply for a US visa. Because of changes in the current international political environment, the current visa rejection rate is very high. On the contrary, more people are now applying for US visas, and visa interview appointments often have to wait for more than 3 months. The entire interview takes approximately two and a half hours. At the exit, you will see a lot of people waiting anxiously for the same amount of time because their family members are being interviewed. Some people are happy and some are worried. The facial expressions on people\’s faces when they come out basically indicate the outcome of the interview. You can imagine that those who pass the interview will most likely be in the top 20% of our country\’s economic income. No matter how this society develops, although people are not classified as high or low, they are always divided into three levels. The education we have been taught since childhood is that everyone is equal. But in reality there is basically no equality. I think equality is only about personality. Even most of the time, many people have no personality at all. For these people, there is no equality in this world at all. The basis of economics is supply and demand. But you see, no matter how the world develops, everyone\’s basic necessities of life are met, but there is an indisputable fact, that is scarcity: good things are never enough, and good things are always scarce. From a human perspective, everyone wants good resources and good things. So what was the final fight? That depends on hard power. The form of hard currency in this world is money. From this perspective, people have already been divided into many levels, but there are more than just three, six or nine. The same applies between groups and between countries. Therefore, no matter when, for us as individuals, we must also develop the economy and making money is the hard power. Because in the real world, money can be said to be the store of all things. You can exchange money for other people\’s time to work for you, you can exchange money for physical objects that you think are valuable, and you can use money to do things that you think are valuable. Therefore, the most important skills I want to teach my children are all centered around this proposition. How to make more money legally. What I am sure of is that this subject is definitely not taught in our school curriculum. Therefore, I made a few outlines, which are also necessary concepts, and they will slowly and subtly penetrate into his cognition as he grows up. 1. Health first: Health can be said to be the first priority. Without a good body, everything else is 0. So I will lead by example and let him pay attention to exercise and diet. Most of my company time is spent outdoors, hiking and exercising. Half of the current interest classes for children are sports-related. 2. Respect property rights: This concept is very important. Children’s correct view of money comes from here. Don\’t talk about children, many adults can\’t do it. Financial independence must be instilled in children from an early age. They must clearly distinguish what is theirs and what is not theirs. For example, parents\’ property belongs to the parents and has nothing to do with the children. Why so many brothers and sisters finally fall out over the issue of their parents\’ property? It\’s a matter of concept. 3. Pay attention to production: What is production is to find the needs that need to be satisfied in this world.Ask for it and produce to satisfy it. There are several main ways to create wealth in this world: discovery, production, and trade. For example, discover new continents and new resources, produce and create products that are needed, and trade and sell them to the people who are in need. At this point, the important thing is to participate in these links and strive to become a producer. 4. Face the dilemma: This is the scarcity mentioned above, and it is also an unsolvable dilemma that can never be solved in this world. No matter how rich you are, no matter what stage you are at, you will face problems that you cannot solve, but you have only one way, and that is to face it bravely and don\’t escape. 5. Decision-making responsibility: This is the most important ability in a person\’s life, how to make choices. This must be practiced through small things one by one. No one is born to make the right or better choice. Here is a methodology: the important links in decision-making: weighing, decision-making, execution, and responsibility. Whoever bears the consequences will make the decision; when the consequences are shared, whoever executes the decision will make the decision; when execution is jointly carried out, the person with the most judgment (experience) will make the decision. Children should be trained to make decisions from an early age, but one thing that must be paid attention to is that they should never make decisions that they cannot bear the consequences of. No matter what bad consequences occur, family members must support each other. 6. Obsession with improvement: This means lifelong learning, being able to listen to different opinions and voices, accepting criticism when doing something wrong, and making corrections immediately, without worrying about face issues. Pay attention to valid constructive opinions. 7. Kindness and love: This is very important in terms of character. You must be kind and loving. No matter how much wealth you have in the future, you must have good intentions. At the same time, we must realize the element of luck. Success comes from the right time, right place, and right people. If it fails, start over from scratch. You will not fall into pride or go into nothingness. At the same time, you must clearly distinguish between big love and small love. Lending money to others may be harmful to others. ps: Most of the above educational concepts are adopted from Xiaolai\’s \”The Most Important Lesson\”. Only by telling your children the truth about the world can they better cope with the future. Only then will he be able to face the world independently in the future without being alarmed. Thinking back to our youthfulness when we graduated from college and entered the society. There are several problems. One is that schools don’t teach, the other is that parents don’t teach, and the third is that they don’t learn. Schools do not teach, but society needs to educate them the \”talents\” that society needs, the labor force we need. Parents don’t teach because their parents themselves don’t understand, and their children don’t learn from them. Why people in Chaoshan, Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are very good at doing business is because many children have been exposed to it since childhood. If we don’t learn, we are not enlightened. When we were in school, we never read good books for so long. What is happening now and what will not happen in the future has happened in history. Back to the topic, the essence of going to school is to learn to learn by yourself. The most important ability of a child is the ability to learn by himself.
