فرزندتان را از سنین پایین تربیت کنید، قسمت ۴ از ۵

Let me tell you. Normally, the people in the world don’t like making children work. They would say that it is child labor, and so on. But actually, children who start work at an early age have a higher IQ. This is according to statistics, from scientists, not from me. It’s not that we intentionally force children to go out and work, but because their circumstances are like that. They are forced to use their intelligence earlier, as they have to figure out ways to survive. When they’re forced, they can’t say, “I’m just a kid, I don’t know how.” If you don’t know how, no one else does either. You have to figure it out. […] Therefore, you have to train your kids well from a young age. Try to let him share some burden of work. Let them know the value of money. Let them know that working and nimbleness are a kind of honor, and reward them for it. Once they’re used to it, they’ll associate work with honor, with warm feelings, and with the love and praises from their parents. They’ll associate all these together. When they grow up, they’ll be used to it. If you don’t train them from childhood, it’s impossible to train them after they’ve grown up. […]

I need a lot of talented people to help the world. Don’t just make excuses saying, “I don’t understand. I’m sorry. I’m not used to being rushed like this. What’s the hurry?” Of course, you can have fun with anything, but if for your whole life, you just make excuses, you’ll have no confidence. I tell you, the more you work. the more responsibility you take on, the more confidence you’ll gain, and the more you’ll feel like you’re a Buddha. I’m not saying we should go out and find work to do, but when it’s happening right in front of your nose, what kind of people would refuse to help those in distress by making excuses? Of course, it’s also OK if you don’t do it, but why find excuses?
