Education: If you sow melons, you will reap melons; if you sow beans, you will reap beans.

On a midsummer evening, after returning from a walk, I took a shower, blew the air conditioner in the room, listened to guqin music, read a book, and enjoyed a rare and comfortable time. From the kitchen came the sound of running water, the clatter of dishes, and the son\’s passionate singing. At that moment, I was suddenly very moved. This is how my son spent his day: he got up at around six in the morning and went to play basketball for two hours. Come back and take a shower, throw the dirty clothes into the washing machine, and then go make breakfast for us. Due to limited cooking skills, breakfast is still noodles. After eating breakfast, he started doing homework and reading. Then during the break, he played mobile games and a Rubik\’s Cube for a while. After lunch, he slept for about an hour and then went swimming for two hours. Come back to draw comics, read books, collect and fold clothes. After dinner, join us for some exercise. Come back and wash the dishes and mop the floor. As a teenager between the naughty child and the rebellious stage of youth, I am truly gratified to have such self-control and performance. In fact, like other children, my son used to be very playful and couldn\’t control himself. Ask him to wash the dishes, and he will complain: Why are you taking a rest while I am washing the dishes? My answer is: Because my father and I have completed the day\’s work and tasks, washing the dishes is your task. No matter how late it is, you have to finish it. If you have washed it long ago, you can still rest. Gradually, he no longer complained, but got used to it, and even enjoyed the happiness brought by labor. Every time I wash the dishes, I can hear his happy singing. Two years ago, he fell in love with playing basketball, but couldn\’t stick to it. He spent three days fishing and two days drying nets. I said to him: Since you chose it and entered the school team, and I bought you a complete set of equipment at your request, there is no reason for you not to train hard and persevere. He was very embarrassed, so he got up early and went to the gym to practice, and when he came back he was soaked without complaining about being tired. Over time, he became stronger and stronger and made rapid progress. As for studying, I used to like to urge him over and over again. If he still procrastinated, I would get angry and get mad. But the result is often a lose-lose situation and neither one is happy. Later, I communicated with him in a different way. I told him seriously: Studying is your own business. From now on, I will not remind you repeatedly to do your homework. You can control it yourself. You can play, but also You must bear the consequences. Don\’t blame me for not warning you when the time comes. Later, several times, he was late because he was in a hurry because he didn\’t finish the homework in time. He was very depressed and laughed at himself: If you don\’t listen to the old man\’s words, you will suffer a lot. From then on, he no longer dared to procrastinate in his studies, and everyone was happy. In this way, slowly, slowly, with my guidance bit by bit, my son finally grew up to be what he is today, which is generally pretty good. Many people said to me: Your child is so sensible, I really envy you, you are so worry-free. I was unlucky. How could I have given birth to such a bastard? All I could do was play mobile games all day long. I had to put my clothes on and my hands for food to open my mouth. I didn’t do anything, and I had to do my homework over and over again. I will cry if I continue! Those who say this must have ignored the role of \”education\”. How can any child be born sensible? There are no children born with headaches either. What children become when they grow up is the result of their parents’ education and influence when they were young.fruit. Parents attach great importance to education and provide positive guidance to their children when they are young. When the children are older, they will form many good habits. Once good habits are developed, they will naturally have less worries. If parents don\’t pay attention to education and just muddle along, or even have poor quality themselves, and their children don\’t receive a good influence and get a good education, how much better can they be? Just like planting crops, you sow in spring and harvest in autumn. If cultivated carefully, the harvest will be fruitful; if neglected, the harvest will be poor. As the saying goes: If you sow melons, you will reap melons; if you sow beans, you will reap beans. You reap what you sow. Wherever you put in the effort, there you will reap the rewards. If you put your efforts in the wrong place, or even don’t put in any effort at all, you will only get what you sow, contrary to expectations. There are no shortcuts in education, and there are no miracles in this world. Any result can be traced and the cause can be investigated. If you want to have excellent children, you must be excellent parents and use love and patience to nourish your children like spring breeze and rain. As long as you persist, you will be surprised one day.
