他們才終於明白一個最簡單的道理：
原來，珍視彼此, 幸福在此。
They finally understand a simple truth, cherish each other, happiness is always there.
Whether you are A Plus Kid, or Average Kid, please don’t forget, we should look from the inner part, to understand what we need and suit. That's the most important thing. You are who you are.
Everyone has its advantage and disadvantage, which depends on how people look at you. But we believe that everyone is blessed with its own talent and it is important to be optimistic and make a lot of effort.
Know our talent, then we can explore the value of life. Everyday we make good use of our talent and pursue our own A Plus life, achieving our unique life. Our next generation will achieve their dream as you believe dream in life!
Should childhood be sacrificed? Should study be the most important thing?
Should the one who scores the best be the outstanding person?
For the kids who are not good at studying, will they hopeless in the future?
Kids who score A Plus should be named as “outstanding”?
Kids who are average in academic should be named as not outstanding? Should we send kids go to cram schools, improving school scores and make them go to bed late and wake up early so that they will not lose at the starting point?
Is that a necessity? No, not necessarily.
The ultimate goal of life is to gain happiness, but happiness does not equal to excel in academics.
Have you heard of a story: when a kid who is academically excellent go to work, she/he will help carrying bags for those who are not good at academics. Why? They are trained to lead a life which is conservative and secured. They would not risk their life to go for adventure. However, kids who are average in everything, they tend to try every possibility to survive, finally reach a good achievement in their career.
One who excels in everything does not necessarily guarantee life is A Plus and will obtain happiness, and vice versa.
Therefore, kids who are not good at academic scores do not mean they do not deserve happiness.
Life has many unexpected destination, too many aspects to take care and to explore. Life is like an adventure, you will never know the answer of life at the very beginning, and no need to sacrifice the funs of life.
Then, how do we look at children’s education? Please search for kids’ talent, and cultivate the kids’ talent in a positive way.
Help children to find their real interest and spark their true happiness is the most important thing!
What is the kids’ talent? What kind of talent needs to be cultivated?
If the kids easily perform the outstanding ability compare with other kids, then it’s the kids’ talent. Observe your kids, you will discover every kid will have his/her outstanding ability. It might be the skill, knowledge, sports, arts, speech, creativity, or personality.
If the kids will practice at their own will, and strengthen their talent, try to be the master, it indicates that it is the interest of the kids. And you need to help the kid to nurture her /his talent.
Each kid has its character and talent, emphasized on the talent of the kid. Happy future should be supported by happy childhood. Therefore, there is no need to sacrifice kids’ childhood. Games are important!
Don’t forget, no matter how outstanding the kid is, she/ he is worth treasured and loved and has the right of pursuing happiness.
If you are a A Plus Kid, congratulations! You will grow in full confidence and applause. But don’t forget, the world will revolve for everyone. Everyone exists for its own unique value. Treat others sincerely, and others will bring benefit to you.
If you are like me, who equals to Average Kid, don’t give up, explore your talent.
Please believe, there is no one who is given up by happiness, only one who abandons happiness. Therefore, always remember to make use of inner gift, make oneself to stand at the side of happiness. Be the one who really knows oneself, and be the one who really knows the needs of the kids.
I dedicate this book to my A Plus Kid, who always inspires and encourages me to write this book.
Memi is an author of seriously practicing "cherishing happiness" in her own small world, focusing on the light of happiness, and wish that her stories would warm up those who seek for happiness.
