Working as a laborer is very hard, but they are still human beings. They just haven't had better life opportunities, which is why they do this job. We shouldn't look down on them. What's important is to remember that they are the same as us。——
I never scold my children because scolding is not an effective way to raise them. It only breeds their resentment and rebellion。——
Excessive indulgence and protection often make the next generation lazy and fragile, harming their entire lives。——
When I was attending a private school, my grandmother gave me five cents every day to buy food. I was too reluctant to buy groceries and would just eat plain rice, saving half of the money. The wealth I have accumulated now is the result of this habit。——
It's like eating together: you're eating shark fin, while I'm eating tofu. Frugality is my own choice!——
It's better to earn less than to take risks. Don't do things without certainty。——
This world isn't set up for anyone in particular. If you don't adjust yourself, the world won't automatically adapt to you。——
Whether you're a poor father or a rich father, the ultimate goal of educating children should be the same. Through education, a poor father hopes his child will have a better life than his own generation, even making the parents enjoy a comfortable, decent, and high-quality life. He longs for his child to be wealthier in the future. For a rich father, he also hopes to help his child break the curse of "richness lasting only three generations" through education, ensuring that the family's wealth is passed down according to his wishes and grows further. How compassionate are parents! Whether poor or rich, the desire for their children to be wealthy in the future is the same. Inspired by these wealthy fathers' effective family teachings, we have specially invited several long-term child education experts to compile amusing stories about the daily upbringing of children by wealthy fathers in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, accompanied by insightful commentary. We have every reason to believe that this book will be a guiding light for poor fathers to help their children become wealthy; for rich fathers, it will be a magic sword to help them break the curse of "richness lasting only three generations."
