The essence of education is the self-cultivation of parents

The so-called education is not about wealth, but about the vision of parents.

How to see the difference between parents' perspectives?

It is also a beggar on the street. Generally, parents may take the opportunity to teach their children: "You have to study hard, or you will have to beg like them to make a living in the future."

Parents with vision will solemnly tell their children: "You have to study hard, so that these people can have jobs in the future, and you don't have to be down here."

The former parents give their children realistic education and use cruel reality to stimulate their upward motivation.

The latter kind of parents give their children vision education and encourage them to jump out of the small circle in front of them and look at problems from a higher perspective.

If parents can have such a mind, the children they educate will surely become the pillars of the country, and they will be more responsible in life and work.

It is this kind of "vision education" that Liang Qichao gives his children.

He once taught his children in his home book: "In life, we always want to repay the kindness of the society. We must always do our best in the society to be worthy of being my beloved son."

Under his education, the eldest son Liang Sicheng, the second son Liang Siyong, and the fifth son Liang Sili are all academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the other children are also elites in their respective research fields.

Behind every outstanding child, there is a visionary father.

Liang Qichao's relative, Lin Changmin, also advocates "eyesight education" for children.

In 1920, Lin Changmin went to Europe to investigate and brought his 16-year-old daughter Lin Huiyin on purpose.

Before leaving, he said to his daughter, "I will walk with you this time. First, I want you to look at things in various countries to increase your knowledge; second, I want you to be close to me and understand my embrace; third, I want you to stay away for a while. Get rid of the trivial troubles of the family, so that you can broaden your horizons and develop your insights and abilities to improve society in the future.”

Lin Huiyin followed in his father's footsteps and traveled all over Europe, and since then set up his ambition to study architecture.

The real enrichment is not material enrichment, but spiritual enrichment and broadening of horizons.

It is precisely because the two fathers have a long-term vision that they are able to raise such outstanding children as Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin.

"Warring States Policy" has a saying: "The beloved son of parents has far-reaching plans."

What kind of vision pattern parents have, what kind of life will they plan for their children.

A visionary father can take a long-term perspective and point out the way forward for his children.

The nine sons of the Liang family can make achievements in their respective fields because their father is like a beacon, guiding them forward.

Liang Qichao's vision has always been at the forefront of the times. When his daughter Liang Sizhuang was faced with a professional choice, he once advised her children.

He said: "You brothers and sisters, so far none of you have studied natural science, which is a pity in our family. I really miss you taking biology as your main subject, because it is the most advanced natural science in modern times. As of today, No one in China has learned this subject (and there are very few men), so why don't you be a 'first mover'?"

In China at that time, the development of biology was still blank.

Not only are there very few researchers, but very few people even know the subject.

As a knowledgeable scholar and a father, Liang Qichao's suggestion undoubtedly opened the door to a new field for his children.

How high a child can fly in the future largely depends on what kind of starting point his parents provide him.

The father has a vision and decides that the child will stand at a height unattainable by his peers from the moment he is born.

A good father must set an example for his children in terms of vision and pattern.

The essence of education is the self-cultivation of parents.

A good education depends on grades in the short term, character in the medium term, and vision in the long term.

As a parent, trying to broaden your horizons is opening up a day for your children.
