How do I define success as a parent? I want to raise my children to become a successful person in life. Success in terms of having good personality, able to build happy relationship, etc. Not so much on being a multi-millionaire I think.
I always wonder what kind of elements needed to at least get the child heading towards a proper path of becoming successful in life? I know it is not purely education, it is not purely environment. Everyone knows: A child get into a good school does not guarantee he/she will become a successful person. A child born in a poor family does not mean the child will not be a successful person.
Until one day I saw and read this book "The Great Mom and Success of Child" (a Korean book translated to Chinese), and it gave me some great guidelines:
Nine basic abilities that affect a child's life
(1) Ability to handle failure
(2) Ability to evaluate philosophy and creation
(3) Ability to feel blessed or create blessed condition
(4) Ability to lead and think for others
(5) Ability to read and understand others point of view
(6) Ability to communicate - listening, talking, thinking, repeat
(7) Ability to pick up useful languages
(8) Ability to earn and managed money
(9) Ability to work and have good work habit
I highly recommend friends (especially moms) to read this book!
