The years have flown by, and in the blink of an eye, we have stepped into the stage of old age. However, at the end of this life, we find that no matter where we are, no matter how rich or poor our families are, our responsibilities as parents have not been diminished by the passage of time. At this time, we might as well focus on the three key "busyness" to create a better future for our children.
Let's start with education, it's not just about talking. When we are young, we may think that "it is easy to educate the children of rich families", but this is not the case. Education is not about getting drunk, it's about paving a solid path for children to the future. We may not have the financial resources, but we have the right educational philosophy. It's not an unattainable theory, it's a bit of it that is integrated into everyday life. As children grow up, what we need to do is to guide them and make them understand what is right and what is wrong. What we need to do is to establish the correct three views for them, so that they can become people with ideas and patterns. Don't just pay attention to the expansion of knowledge, but also care about their inner world, because only by cultivating both internally and externally can they be handy on the stage of life.
Education is only a starting point, and a good family style is the melody of continuation. When it comes to family style, don't think too far ahead. This is not an unattainable idea, but a virtue contained in daily chores. Family culture is not made by empty talk and rules, but slowly accumulated in the family through our example and behavior. Ma Boyong described it well: "Family inheritance, like an antique, has been cared for and polished by many people, and has been quietly accumulated in the cleansing of time." "We want to leave a deep imprint on our children, like an artist who carves the history of the family, carving out our heirloom piece by knife. And this does not require too much money, but more importantly, our deep attachment to our family and our firm belief in the future of our children.
Talking about taking care of oneself, it seems to be a matter of course, but it is the third important "help" that parents do for their children. Taking care of oneself is not selfish, but to be able to take better care of one's children. In this era of social change and pressure, we are well aware of the hardships of life. Therefore, we hope that our children will have enough wisdom and courage to live a stable and happy life. This is not to say that they have to be successful, but to be able to face the difficulties of life and rise to the occasion. We know that we won't always be there to protect them, but we want them to be resilient enough to take on the challenges of the unknown.
These three kinds of "busyness" seem simple, but in fact, they contain the deep concern of parents for their children. This is not a continuation of gold and silver, but a transmission of responsibility and love. This does not require flowery rhetoric, but sincere emotions revealed in ordinary life. Perhaps, we cannot provide our children with the most expensive education, but we can instill in them the right values, perhaps, our family style is not luxurious, but we can set an example so that they can learn the most precious things in the family, perhaps, we cannot always be by their side, but we can give them the greatest spiritual support. These three kinds of "busyness" may seem insignificant, but they constitute a true portrayal of parents' selfless dedication to their children.
Perhaps, gold and silver mountains are not the ultimate goal in life, but on the basis of having the right education, good family style and independent ability, children can face the ups and downs of the future more confidently. This is the ultimate wish of parents, and it is also the most precious "busyness" we do for our children. In the journey of life, no matter how the scenery changes, we can be grateful, and we are glad to have such a pair of selfless parents' hands, silently caring for our footprints. No matter how the years change, the love of parents for their children will always be the most solid support, and the three "busy" will play the most beautiful music on the stage of life.
