“慢养”的孩子性格最好也走得最远

·有态度的国际化家教指南

最近读到一段话，特别适合在六一这天与大家共勉：

 

New York is 3 hours ahead of Califonia, but it does not make California slow.

 

纽约时间比加州早三个小时，但加州并没有因此时间变慢。

 

Someone became a CEO at 25, and died at 50.

 

有人25岁就当上了CEO，但50岁就去世了。

 

While another became a CEO at 50, and lived to 90 years.

 

也有人50岁才当上CEO，然后活到90岁。

 

Someone graduated at the age of 22, yet waited 5 years before securing a good job.

 

有人22岁就毕业了，但花了5年才找到满意的工作。

 

And there is another who graduated at 27，and secured employment immediately.

 

也有人27岁才毕业，但马上就找到合适的工作了。

 

Absolutely everyone in this world works based on their Time Zone.

世上每个人本来就有自己的发展时区。

 

People around you might seem to go ahead of you, some might seem to be behind you.

有些人看似走在你前面，也有人看似走在你后面。

 

But everyone is running their own RACE, in their own TIME.

但每个人在自己的时区里都有自己的步伐。

 

Don''t envy them or mork them. They are in their Time Zone, and your are in yours.

 

不要嫉妒或嘲笑他们。他们都在自己的时区里，你也是。

Life is about waiting for the right moment to act.

生活就是在等待正确的时机去行动。

 

So, relax. You''re not late. You''re not early.

 

所以，放轻松。你没有落后。你也没有领先。

 

You are very much ON TIME, and in your Time Zone.

 

你就在你自己的时区里，一切都刚刚好。

 

 

慢下来，敢让孩子做自己

“孩子有自己的时区”，与少年商学院一直以来倡导的“敢让孩子做自己”的理念并无二致。过去四年，我们通过微信持续分享优质的国际化家庭教育与创新教育案例和文章，建造优质的教育社群，唯愿每一个孩子都能永远好奇、独立并富有公民意识。

是的，比为孩子买最好的学区房、报最贵的补习班更重要的，是“敢让孩子做自己”；与敦促孩子读万卷书、行万里路同样重要的，是自己身体力行的表率，和终身学习的习惯。
