Our ancestor's wisdom tells us "天降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤". This is often lost in modern times.

first we have to ask how many parents can do this themselves

 

if you can, the kids will follow, if you can't dun expect them do the same....

 

i admit i can't

[Hamburger]

video kind of boring.

I am afraid ... not many parents in Singapore will agree to this ...

 

Children are so well protected here and hence the stawberry and banana generation ...

 

Sad but true

i bought my kids a bicycle and let them fall until they learn without me touching the bike at all.

In essence, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" told by Meng Zi, 2000+ years ago.

 

 

 

so you make your kids 卧薪尝胆? lol

[Karu]

Ok what... Let them fall & learn to stand up. Otherwise they'll never know what to do when it really counts.

He still alive?

[Ender]

Actually the older generation has a dialect saying, loosely translate is "don't fall, won't grow up". Actually our chinese culture do recognize learning thru failure. It 's the modern parents who are are scared.

lol

 

so you want your kid to 治国，平天下？

 

Modern intepretations:-

 

治国 ---- fix the nation

 

平天下 --- flatten the place

 

maybe today's kids will do just that when the grow up and grab the power [sweatdrop]

He's alive in spirit.

i only heard of a dialect that say the same except different word for the F

[Hamburger]

Different leh .. 卧薪尝胆 is to swallow one's pride, but also requires strong character to developed. I tell them whatever they want in life they have to work for it, success is obtained through many failures and hard work. If they don't like it they can leave the house.

 

 

 

i also do this everyday.

 

I drink kopi black without anything. Bitter also you know....

Our Chinese Proverb taught us this way, " 失 败 是 成 功 之 母 "
