Introduction. It is often said that knowledge can change destiny. However, while knowledge and effort can sometimes improve living conditions, they can still lead to poverty.
Thoughts are crucial when it comes to determining the height of one's achievement, and this is what is called"The Law of the Poor"。Because attitudes and ways of thinking have a decisive impact on personal development.
Parents from poor families are more eager for their children to be successful in the future, have decent careers and earn good incomes.
However, these parents are bound by the notion of "poverty", which leads to their narrowing of their horizons. So, what are the three most desirable jobs in their opinion?
1. Instructors.
The profession of teaching is very honorable, respectable, and has a high social status.
Therefore, teachers have always been the first choice for many children from poor families, and they are also the beautiful dreams of countless parents from poor families. If a child from a poor family becomes a teacher, then he will be the pride of the whole family and will be a day of triumph for his parents.
Why do parents from poor families value their children as teachers the most?
The older generation has few opportunities to receive education, whether due to the limitations of the times or family conditions, they have almost no formal education, and many of them do not even know the basic words.
As a result, these people lack world experience and do not understand how to change their poor fate, and their only option is to engage in manual labor.
These people gradually realized that hard work could not change their fate, and that only those who got good jobs could have a good life, and it was through the devastation of hard work that they realized this.
The only way to get a good job is to get an education. Therefore, these poor parents want their children to get an education and find a good job in the future. However, they could not afford to pay even the most basic tuition, and at that time, they would envy the status of teachers.
Teachers are revered wherever they are, and they seem to be able to stay at ease and not be burdened by the wind and rain. This deeply touches the poor and makes them look forward to this profession.
Poor people are often not only incapacitated, but even disliked by their relatives, so they rarely feel valued and respected by others. They aspire to be such people, so they pin all their hopes on their children, believing that the job of a teacher is stable and decent.
Therefore, children from poor families have to study Xi according to their parents' expectations and choose the teaching profession. If the child eventually becomes a teacher, then such parents will finally be able to feel the satisfaction of being respected, which is exactly what they crave.
Children from wealthy families rarely choose to become teachers because they perceive the profession as stressful, hard, and poorly paid. In contrast, they are more inclined to other professions.
Yes, stability is a trait of a teacher's job, something that countless poor families desire, but in the eyes of the rich it is not the key to their choice, because for them, stability has no other possibilities, a lack of challenges, and it seems that there is no suspense in the career.
As a result, children from wealthier families are more likely to choose more popular careers at the moment, and they are willing to face the challenge of more possibilities because they have the financial conditions and the cost of trial and errorAnd once children from poor families choose the wrong path, they will face lifelong suffering.
The cognitive limitations of parents and the large disparity caused by family background are factors that contribute to the entry of children from poor families into the teaching profession.
2.Physician.
In the eyes of many poor families, doctors are actually the highest profession they can imagine, while more poor families just want their children to become ** or a similar profession.
If you want to become a doctor, you need enough capital in terms of time and money both in Xi study. However, for poor families, they do not have the capital to support their children to complete such a long school and then enter the society to earn money. After all, becoming a doctor is not easy.
As a result, careers are the best option for many poor families. This profession allows you to quickly integrate into society and realize your own value, while working in a hospital can also increase your self-esteem, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Poor people want their children to become, so that once something happens at home, they can have relatives to take care of them in the hospital, which means peace of mind and comfort for them, so in the eyes of many poor families, becoming a ** is a very attractive career choice.
However, it must be recognized that both ** and doctors are under tremendous pressure. Sometimes, even if you are only assisting the doctor in performing surgery, you need to stand for more than 10 hours in a row and maintain a high level of concentration.
* They had to work night shifts, which also led to their work being not only tedious and complicated, but also much lower than doctors.
Working in a hospital is stressful, and many ** often face various doctor-patient disputes and feel aggrieved, but these are not considered by parents from poor families, because they only regard working in the hospital as a decent and dignified job, and they can easily receive medical treatment.
Many children of wealthy families choose to become doctors, but in fact they choose this profession mainly because of their love for the medical field, and they hope to find a sense of self-fulfillment through technical improvement.
Doctors' salaries are not high, but compared to wealthy families, they have the capital to pursue this profession, and they can even go abroad for further training. Many children from poor families do not see this.
In fact, this is not only applicable to public enterprises, but also refers to those stable jobs, such as career establishment, state-owned enterprises, etc.
This kind of work is a favorite of poor parents, and it would be the icing on the cake if any child could become a civil servant or get a career establishment. Parents of poor families also expect their children to get a stable job.
The phrase "iron rice bowl" sounds very beautiful, but in fact, it is not the common idea of a few, or even hundreds, or thousands of poor families, but the consensus of the majority of poor people.
As a result, competition for civil servants and career establishments is fierce, as the number of posts is limited, but the number of applicants increases dramatically every year, and the parents of the poor seek stability and dignity.
Even parents from poor families want their children to be able to move up the social ladder through stable jobs such as civil servants, which they believe will save face and even improve their children's conditions for finding a partner. However, as everyone knows, the reality is not so simple.
Even if children from poor families are admitted to university, their limited knowledge level will affect their future careers, and this gap is not easy to bridge.
Many middle-class families also aspire to their children to become civil servants because they believe that having a stable and comfortable job will allow them to live a comfortable life, and this is not limited to poor families.
Compared with the children of wealthy families, the status of civil servants and career establishment personnel is less popular. They may find this type of work uninteresting, that it is a waste of time and life, and that living a boring life every day will only make them feel uncomfortable.
Why is this so?The reason is that because of their wealth, children of rich families have been exposed to the wider world since they were young, their lives are richer, their inner world is richer, and they are not limited by cognition, so they will have all kinds of wonderful ideas and have the ability to realize these ideas.
Therefore, the two are not the same at all. Parents from poor families teach their children how to earn a living, while parents from wealthy families provide their children with enough resources to realize their potential, these are two completely different worlds.
In fact, it has a lot to do with the way they think, and it creeps through as the kids grow up.
For example, in childhood, parents from poor families usually avoid touching expensive items when faced with money, and even teach their children not to buy things that are too expensive, and even try to avoid approaching them.
Parents of wealthy families figure out how to buy expensive items, and what they teach their children is a way of thinking and problem-solving.
Despite their poor family background, parents realize that studying Xi can change their lives, and they will constantly urge their children to study hard Xi, hoping that they will get into a well-known company and get a good salary as a way to repay their parents and let them live a good life.
Parents from wealthy families focus on educating their children about how money works, and teaching them to think proactively about how to use these laws for their own benefit, rather than just focusing on their studies.
In the journey of life, we will be faced with many choices, just like choosing the direction of progress at a fork in the road. Every time you reach a fork in the road, it can mark a turning point in your life, and along the way, there are risks that come with it. Therefore, it is crucial to make a choice.
Parents of poor families usually be very cautious when educating their children, warning them to be cautious in their work, not to take risks, and to make money steadily, especially when it comes to risks.
Parents from wealthy families take the opposite view, instead of reminding their children to be careful about risk, they teach them how to manage it, face it bravely, and encourage them to learn from their failures.
In general, people can't earn more money than they know, and the way children grow up is closely related to the educational thinking of parents when they are young, and it is impossible to change overnight.
