(2) The thoughts of parents 11
"Let's talk about wearing: famous brands are indeed finely made, but what we ultimately pursue is 'comfort', as long as it is comfortable, even if it is not a famous brand, what does it matter? Just for a trademark? If you have that trademark, you will have face? …… Oh, by the way, aren't you doing this very well yourself? Su Yuedong hugged his wife: "Others are carrying tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of bags, what about you?" Why don't you go and buy a few? It's not like we can't afford it...... Isn't it because: the bag needs to match the style of clothing and the color of shoes? The dozens of bags you've bought should only cost a few thousand yuan, right? They don't even have a fraction of a bag, do they? But when we went out together, I saw that even if others looked at your bag, they didn't laugh at it, only appreciation and praise, well, of course, because it wasn't a famous brand, so there was no envy hehe! So, whether it's clothing or decorations, the key is decency rather than branding. In personal mood, the 'value for money' or 'value for money' of the item will make people feel more fulfilled. And...... Don't have a few bags at home, do you? How many days or months do you change it, isn't it good to have a fresh feeling every day? Of course, there are also people who treat luxury goods as street goods, but that's called dizzy, and that's really a 'loser'. ”
"And the car: the eco-friendly car you drive on the street has no face? …… In short, our country has one of the greatest advantages: the supply of people of any income class will have the goods of any class, and those goods are as delicate and beautiful as they are. If you spend according to your income, you will have an easy life, right? ”
"So...... Well, wait, I've talked to you so much, I want to smoke a cigarette......" Su Yuedong got out of bed, opened the curtains, and opened the window, then lit a cigarette, leaned his butt against the window, and continued: "We don't know why we came to this world, just like our son, because we wanted to, he came, and definitely not because he wanted to come, so we can't think: Why did I come to this world!" But we can think: How should we live! To answer this question, don't rush to think 'as long as ......you have money', because most people think so, but have you noticed it? Most people live a hard and tired ......, so before thinking about this question, we must remember one thing: if you are willing to give, you will have to give up, and you will have to give up; You can't have it both ways...... Because the greatest pain in life arises from endless desires and greed that both want and are unwilling to give up......"
Su Yuedong took a puff of his cigarette and flicked the ashes of his cigarette: "In this world, there are too many smart fools, they have won wealth smartly, but they have been so stupid that they have been burden......ed by wealth from beginning to end, and when they reacted, they found that they were gray-haired and youthful...... When they understood, they realized that the best time to enjoy life was in the past, so they finally sighed: I am a poor bastard with only money left......
"What does all this have to do with our current situation?" Xie Lianyu also got up from the bed, poured herself a glass of red wine Sprite, took a sip gently, and quietly waited for Su Yuedong's next words.
"We make money, and if we want to, we can continue to earn until we become famous for money; But for me, the results that I already know, even if I make the most money, I don't have any sense of accomplishment, so money no longer means anything to us; I believe that a person's greatest enjoyment is in the pursuit of dreams...... And my dream is to be a son - if I teach a wonderful son; It's not that I'm great, it's all for my son, but my dream is to be a good father, and that's really what I want to do the most. Su Yuedong said.
"Oh, tell me, it's been a long time since I've heard you talk about it, hehe-hee-" Xie Lianyu said.
"When the child is young, you always blame me for not caring about the child, right?" Su Yuedong asked.
"It's all gone, it doesn't matter anymore, what are you talking about?" Xie Lianyu replied.
"Actually, that's what I thought at the time: In the child's life, you and Aunt Li are enough, so why should I add to it? So, I always wanted to do something that would make my children happier, but I didn't know how, because I found that I didn't know how to be a father yet. So, I thought about what it was like to be under the love ......of my parents when I was a child, and I found out that children's happiness lies in freedom, and children's education lies in guiding ......," Su Yuedong said.
"Haven't we always been like this?" Xie Lianyu replied.
"No, at least you haven't completely freed your child: for example, if your child runs out into the wilderness, you have to force your child to wear more clothes, and if your child gets bad grades, you will always nag and nag him next; The child put the bowl down, and you still said: Eat some more this, eat some that......" Su Yuedong said with a smile.
"Is that wrong? It's better for you to mean something like you, regardless of it. Xie Lianyu said dissatisfied.
"I'm not ignoring, in fact, after the child was born, I began to think about how to educate the child, from my own thoughts and feelings when I was a child, so I found that the child's mistakes will not be understood until he has committed them himself - for example, if you wear less clothes, you will catch a cold; When he doesn't eat enough, when he is hungry, he will naturally remember; I didn't care, and sometimes, I often asked you to leave it alone, because these mistakes were harmless, and when he grew up, he would understand himself; And reading, you say, how much of the knowledge we learn in school can be used? Applying what you have learned is knowledge; And modern people, which is not smart? When they need to use it, they will learn it quickly, and this is the principle of making up for the dead, and when they use it, he will also learn it with his heart, so that it will get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, I only subtly guide children to memorize more classical poetry, the foundation of Chinese is good, the ability to understand is strong, and everything they learn in the future can be based on one another, touching the analogy, not to mention: there is poetry and books in the belly. ”
"I always remember that our child is not coming by himself, but we want him to come, so we have the obligation to let the child live happily." Su Yuedong didn't let his wife speak, so he continued: "All along, I have guided the child with my ideas, but I have never used force, now, the child has his own thoughts, has his own dream, and we, as the parents of the child, struggle by ourselves, move forward towards the dream, there is nothing wrong, but what is our dream?" ”
"What is it?" Because of her husband's omnipotence, Xie Lianyu never thought about this problem, because her husband's direction is her own direction.
"In fact, our dream is the same as the dream of parents all over the world - all for the happiness of children!" Su Yuedong smiled, a little helpless: This is life!
"Wouldn't it be better for us to earn more money for our children? Make it easier for the child, so that he doesn't have to worry about money in the future......" As she spoke, Xie Lianyu returned to the question just now.
"At least I don't think so, I thought that our child, you give him too much money, not to make it easy for him, but to burden him - because, our child, will not spend our money in the future, of course, I mean after his own business has started." Su Yuedong said confidently.
"Isn't a career all about making money? How does the money he earns himself differ from the money we give him? ”
"Hey--" Su Yuedong looked at his wife and sighed softly: "Career is a kind of faith, a belief, a dream, and a pursuit...... Therefore, there was such a sentence in the past: 'Struggle itself is a kind of enjoyment'! ”
"Of course, there is a kind of person who takes pleasure in business, money is the manifestation of business, making money, proving that the business is successful, but there are also plans to make 100 million, and in the end, only 50 million are earned; For most people, this is a success, but for a true businessman, it is a failure. Therefore, there is such a story: in England, there is such a billionaire, there is a business, a business that can obviously be earned, in his mind, anyone can do a business that can be profitable, but he loses money, and this is the only business he has lost in his life; He couldn't forgive himself, so he planned to commit suicide; He thought of many ways, but he felt that it was not worth it, that is to say, 'loss'; that day, he came to a grocery shop, and fell in love with a rope, so he decided to end his life with it, and the owner of his grocery shop, how much the rope was, the boss said that it was sold for a pound, and he knew that the cost of this rope should be fifty pence, so he began to bargain, and cut for two hours, and at last he bought the rope for fifty-one pence......
Speaking of this, Su Yuedong stopped and looked at his wife, and said, "Maybe, what do you think: why didn't he ask the owner of the Japanese grocery store for it?" For he is a businessman, not a beggar; So why didn't he just cut the price to fifty pence or less? Because, he always remembered that he was a businessman, not a gambler: business is different from gambling in that gambling has wins and losses, while business should be a win-win! He bought the rope at the lowest price, leaving for the penny that could not be lowered by the lowest - only two percent of the gross profit...... Compared with the failure of the last business, he felt that this rope was the most successful business in his life, so he used this rope to hang himself with peace of mind! ”
"This is the way of thinking and doing of a man whose ultimate goal is business, and there seems to be no such person around us; We are surrounded by people who live just for money, but they don't think about why they make money and what they should do after making money. ”
"That is, you don't think we're that kind of people." Xie Lianyu sneered.
"We are not in the first place, because I have long understood that money is a need for life and material comfort, and that life is more than money. That's why I said to my son: if you want to make money, you have to learn to spend money first. Su Yue said.
"Then what do you say have to do with our current incident and our son?" Xie Lianyu asked.
"Absolutely!" Su Yuedong explained: "One more product, one more workshop, one more project, will definitely take up more of our time. ”
"But we don't lack time!" Xie Pian Yu said.
"No, we are lacking, not only us, but anyone in this world, what is most lacking is time! We have enough money, and I believe that our son doesn't need our money at all, so why don't we give our children more happiness? Believing and at the same time giving ourselves happiness, I mean spiritual happiness! Su Yue said.
"How?" Xie Lianyu asked.
"Do you remember when you were a child, you served a bowl of porridge to your child, and the child drank it all in one go, how did you feel?" Su Yuedong asked rhetorically.
"A kind of peace of mind, a kind of satisfaction - happy!" Xie Lianyu thought about it and said.
