Right Direction is More Important than Working Hard 方向比努力重要

Little Story for Our Children,

One night, a guy was trying to search for something in the room.

Another guy asked : "what are you looking for?"

"I lost a penny." He said.

"Did you lose your penny in the middle of the room or near the wall?" The second guy asked.

"Not at both places, I lost my penny outside in the garden." He replied.

"Why don't you search outside then?" The second guy ask again.

"Well, there isn't any light outside." He answered.

You probably think that this story is very funny. Unfortunately, among us there are people who search for things they want in life at the wrong place.

给我们孩子的故事,

夜晚,一个人在房间里四处搜索着什么东西。

有个人问道: "你在寻找什么呢?”

“我丢了一个金币。”他回答。

“你把它丢在房间的中间,还是墙边?” 第二个人问。

“都不是,我把它丢在房间外面的草地上了。” 他又回答。 那你为什么不到外面去找呢?”

“因为那儿没有灯光。”

你肯定会觉得这个人很可笑。然而,我们中的有些人每天都在错误的地方寻找它们想要的东西。


This story tells parents and our children that .....

If we are thinking that it is easier to look for gold at the beach and we spent all our effort in finding gold there, then at the end of the day we would get beach sand. If we want to succeed, it is crucial to find the right goal. This is utmost important to our child's future.

这个故事告诉为人父母和我们的孩子。。。

一个想找到金矿的人,如果他认为在海滩上挖掘更容易,而因此就在那儿寻找金子的话,那么他找到的肯定只是一堆沙土。如果要有所收获,必须选择正确的目标。这对孩子的一生都很重要。
