One night, I returned home. When chatting with the child's mother, she told me something. I was very angry after hearing it and said she was crying after a few words.
She said she had an exchange with the boss during the day.
Children's mother: XX, what do you want to do when you grow up?
Children: I want to be a cashier.
Children's mother: Why?
Children: I want to charge a lot of money.
Children's mother: The money received is not yours, it is the boss's.
Children: Then I want to be a boss.
Children's mother: Why are you so snobbish and vulgar at such a young age……
Children's mother: What do you want to do now?
Children: I don’t know.
When I heard this, I was very angry and said a few words to her: Do you don’t know how important dreams are to a person! I was born in the countryside and my parents didn’t know much about literacy. When she grazed cattle, I was reading and studying while walking with firewood. I overcame many difficulties and obstacles and have reached today. No matter how big my career is, I never feel tired, nor do I need anyone to supervise my work, open up roads across mountains and build bridges across water... All of this is because I have a dream in my heart guiding me... Of course, the tone of speaking was a bit stiff and critical. So she cried aggrievedly, maybe because I raped her, maybe because of something else.
In order to comfort her and to ease the atmosphere, I said that you let me know today that although this is a bad thing, it is also a good thing. The bad thing is that you extinguish the flame in your child's heart with your own cognition. Fortunately, I know it in time. I have to talk to her seriously tomorrow to help her ignite the flame in her heart and let her have her own dreams.
For an 8-year-old child, his dreams are neither good nor bad nor vulgar. Even if her future dream is to be a cleaner, it is worthy of our recognition and respect. Because dreams are the beacon for our life, with the guidance of the beacon, no matter how many twists and turns or how big the storms we encounter in the process, we will work hard to move forward...
