Dreams need full wings to carry


If you want to put your wings on your dreams, you have to go through some hardships. Caterpillars must first endure the loneliness and loneliness of being in the scorpion to become a beautiful butterfly.

We walked through the woods in the summer and saw a dragonfly on the tip of a branch, and we smiled. Because although we can't see it, it is clear that it has its own wings. Although the wings can only let it fly from the tree to the tree, although it will never fight the sky like an eagle, soaring in the sky, but it is also a victory - at least for a dragonfly itself This is the case, because it succeeded in persevering from the pain of disengagement.

There are many things in the world. If you want to fly, you have to experience pain. If you want to pursue your dreams, you must have a pair of wings full of wings.

Spain’s Le Monde reported that Italy’s Minister of Public Function Renato Brunetta made his suggestion on January 24, 2019: to provide monthly youth for families who have left the family to live independently under the age of 18 A subsidy of 500 euros. Previously, he had proposed another contrary but also youth-related proposal: penalizing the behavior of “old-aged” young people over the age of 18.

The proposal for a subsidy of 500 euros was immediately disputed in Italy, as the government had to cut subsidies for retirees under 55 years of age. The leaders of the opposition party and the Italian trade union expressed strong resentment. Of course, we do not consider from which point of view within the government and the opinions of the various parties on this proposal. We are only talking about things. Regardless of whether this proposal can finally be implemented in Italy, we can all see some of its meaning: Encourage minors to stand on their own feet. Because, since dreams need to be full of wings to carry, then first of all, when you have long wings, find ways to get more nutrients and more feathers by: learning to stand on your own.

This is reminiscent of a slogan circulating among American high school students: want to spend money to earn themselves! For example, when a child reaches the age of 12, Chinese parents will say, “He is only 12 years old, what can he do?” And American parents will say: He is 12 years old, what else can't you do? At least there is no problem in cooking your own life." In the United States, after the child is 12 years old, he will do something to make money. This has nothing to do with the amount of family income. Even for a family with more money, the child will be able to make money at this age, and there are some differences between boys and girls. For example, a boy sends a newspaper, cuts the lawn of his home or neighbor, and so on. Girls are small nannies, go to restaurants to do small jobs, and so on. These things are not difficult, and they are not very tired. The point is that they have money to make. American children understand this very early: for example, if you want to buy a toy, you should first wonder what you can do to earn the money to buy a toy. Even if you help your parents brush dishes and wash dishes, you can get "work money." Not only that, in the eyes of many American parents, it is very late to study independence at the age of 12, and many children have become “businessmen” when they are seven or eight years old. They earned pocket money by selling their own “commodities”. Simple housework to get "salary". This concept of the Americans makes children's self-reliant consciousness when they are younger, so that children can learn to stand on their own feet. They let the children understand that what they want to have depends on their own hands rather than on their parents.

Is this the case that parents are not good for their children? Naturally not. Some people have said: "The United States is a paradise for children." Because in this country, anything, even legislation, will be built around children. In such a country where children are protected to the extreme, the above situation is not contradictory. In fact, this is still for the sake of children. A person will have to be self-reliant in society sooner or later, let them learn to be self-reliant and benefit a lot. Eat bitterness early, in order to eat less harder in the future; to cultivate the quality of hard work and hard work in the early days, it is easier to establish a foothold in society in the future, and it is more likely to do big things.

When John was very young, he began to do farm work. His tutor is very strict. If you want to get pocket money, you must get it through labor. Otherwise, there is no penny.

His money is basically earned by working for his father's farm. In general, his "work money" is calculated at 37 cents per hour. Therefore, John has long had his own account book to record his work time, and regularly with his father to handle the "salary settlement business." The job he often does is to do some farm work in the field according to his father's "instructions" and sometimes to help his mother milk.

Perhaps in some people's minds, John's childhood is very bitter. In fact, his family is not short of money, and the funds for hiring helpers are still there. Parents let him do these things, not to make the pocket money in his hands more valuable, or to deliberately blame the child. Although he was not very old at the time, he knew this very well, because in the United States, this social concept is very common, and it is very clear to children who are usually seven or eight years old. Moreover, he is proud that he can earn pocket money through his own labor. He often feels very interesting at work and feels that his work is very sacred.

Because he grew up in this family environment, this child, called John, showed great self-reliance after being adult. He has strong independent thinking and ability to do things, like a bird with wings full of feathers. As a result, he really flew! He was John Davidson Rockefeller and later became the "oil king" of the United States.

When Rockefeller was still "Little John", he constantly improved himself through hardships and used his own hands to create what he wanted. Therefore, his final success cannot be said to have nothing to do with the previous experience. On the contrary, it may be because of his childhood "working career" that he immediately came to the blue and wide sky like a bird with full wings after entering the society. He flew freely and achieved great success.

It was after Rockefeller that their family still acted according to the methods of their parents. If they want to get pocket money, they must obtain it through labor, and they should conduct strict "quantitative evaluations" on a regular basis. If they fail, they will get a penny.

Coincidentally, in Japan, there is a very wide spread: "In addition to the sun and the air is the gift of nature, everything else must be obtained through labor." This sentence is widely used to educate children, many students only have one after school Time will make money by doing some temporary work. Japanese people often go out for a trip or an outing. At this time, as long as the child learns to walk, the parents will let them carry a small bag containing some of the things they use. Parents feel accustomed to this: "That is their own thing, of course, it is up to you to back."

Yes, the dream needs to be full of wings. Where does the wing come from? If there is a wing, how can it be full? Naturally, the sooner the child learns to be independent, the better. Let them know that in this world, no matter what you want, you have to rely on one's own hands to fight for it; no matter what, you can't do it like a fairy tale; no matter what the result, you must learn to face it. To bear; no matter what suffering, overcome them, you are the winner.
