After you have saved enough money for your child, do you still need to force him to study hard?

Some netizens left a message behind the article: What is the purpose of studying well? Is it to find a good job? But my current savings are more than most people can earn in a lifetime of hard work, so why should I force my child? I hope he can learn the principles of life. At first glance, this seems to make sense. But if you think about it carefully, it is far from the case. I really want to ask him: If you plan to go out for a while and leave your child at home, do you bake him a cake big enough to put around his neck, or do you let him learn to cook for himself? Of course this is a bit arrogant, but it is the truth. No matter how many and big cakes you bake for your child, it is still not as good as if he can cook for himself. Maybe your child is not as lazy as the child in the story, who wouldn’t even stretch out his hand to turn the pancake cover around his neck. But things are unpredictable. You may not come back as planned when you go out, and the cake wrapped around your child\’s neck may be eaten by rats, picked up by dogs, or become moldy and spoiled. Will the child still starve to death by then? Similarly, no matter how much money you leave to your child, it is better to let him have the ability to make money on his own. As the saying goes, having a wealth of money is worse than having a skill. Money may depreciate, be stolen or deceived, and a little bit of trouble may turn you from a rich man to a pauper overnight. But as long as you have knowledge, culture, and skills, you will always have the ability to make a living. As an independent person, a child can be self-reliant and support himself, which is the most basic requirement. From a spiritual perspective, everyone needs a sense of accomplishment. Living a leisurely life lying on the land built by your parents is actually a parasitic life, and you cannot find a true inner sense of accomplishment. The child\’s life is his own, not his parents\’. Even if the money you earn can really support him for a lifetime, it will only extend your success and satisfy your sense of accomplishment, which will make his life meaningless. In fact, really rich people never relax their children\’s study, nor let their children enjoy an overly rich material life. For example, Li Ka-shing, although his children have been studying in top schools since childhood, he rarely uses special cars to transport them. Instead, he takes his children to take the tram. The child asked in confusion: \”Why do other students have private cars to pick us up, but you don\’t let your driver at home pick us up?\” Li Ka-shing explained with a smile: \”On trams and buses, you can see different professions , people from different classes can see the most ordinary life and the most ordinary people, that is real life and real society; but sitting in a private car, you can\’t see anything and you won\’t understand anything. \”So, like children from ordinary families, the two children grew up day by day in the crowded tram. They have learned from an early age that real life is full of hard work and fatigue, and that comfort and luxury are not the norm in life. In all aspects of life, Li Ka-shing teaches his children by precept and example and has strict requirements. He even relies on his own work-study studies for their pocket money. Today, Li Ka-shing\’s children are also doing well in their careers, not inferior to their father. No matter how much money you earn, I\’m afraid it won\’t be as much as Li Ka-shing\’s, right? Lin Zexu said, If you are like me, what is the use of money? If you are not as good as me, what is the use of money? The more successful a person is, the more he should have such courage and understanding. The money I earn is enough for my children, so they don’t have to work hard. This is too petty. In this way, one generation will only become worse than the other. The good material foundation you have laid should only serve as a propellant for your child to move forward at high speed, and should not become a hindrance in your child\’s life. Let your child give up studying hard. He may love you more now, but he will hate you one day in the future. And let your child work hard like everyone else. He may hate you now, but he will love you more in the future.
