Executive summary: The eternal pain of the middle class is that it cannot be inherited, whether it is education, experience, position or other. The existing companies and organizational forms will disappear in large numbers in the future, and becoming a "super individual" who can make money independently has become a rigid need for every ordinary person to survive.
If there is one and only one skill that parents must pass on to their children, then I really can't think of anything other than the ability to make money independently.
A while ago, my best friend complained to me, saying that my baby is not interested in learning, but she is particularly interested in doing business.
At a young age, he started to do his classmates' business, pouring stationery, all kinds of gadgets and small peripherals, and he has always been able to earn money.
The pocket money given to the baby every month is counted, and my best friend, often panicked about the extra "huge money" in the baby's wallet, and has been scolding and stopping him.
Alas, if this were my baby, I wouldn't be happier!!
Many middle-class parents think the same as my best friend: Now that our family conditions are so good, you don't have to worry about food or clothing, you don't have to worry about anything, just study hard.
With such good conditions, you don't study hard and think about making money all day long, isn't that a crooked way and going astray?!
I'm sorry, your baby is sober in the world, has the interest and talent to make money, you should steal the fun. The one who went astray could be you.
There is a famous saying in "Rich Dad Poor Dad": "If you can't teach your children about money in time, then someone else will replace you in the future, such as creditors, ** or even **."
The secret of class division.
The younger generation of post-90s middle-class parents is actually very different from the middle-class parents of the post-70s and post-80s "chicken baby main force".
They are no longer taboo about cultivating children's sense of wealth from an early age, and have begun to realize that since the ability to earn money is the ultimate goal of education involution, why not cultivate it earlier?
The parents of the post-80s generation should be the parents of the last generation of "chicken babies". In all kinds of subject education, life and death are involved, but this kind of carefully polished "screw" type of education is facing the embarrassment of "no work to work".
The dividends of the "small town problem-solvers" have come to an end.
In the past two hundred years, there have been barely two generations of Chinese who have truly changed their destiny with knowledge, and with knowledge and values that are in line with the world.
The first is the intellectuals of the ** period. Although only a very small number of people "opened their eyes to the world" at that time, it was precisely those very few people who profoundly influenced China's modernization process.
The second is the 75-90s "small-town problem-solvers", that is, the intellectuals of my generation who have generally received higher education.
No matter how many drawbacks we have received in the examination-oriented education, we are all a generation that has truly enjoyed a complete compulsory education and has been replaced with more ideal social resources through academic qualifications.
Although our cognitive level and openness may not be as good as the masters of the ** period, it is better than the number of people!
In the past ten years, these tens of millions of college graduates have entered all walks of life and deeply participated in the era of China's rapid development.
What now? Is there still such a bonus?
If you look at the timeline extended, such an opportunity and path is a rare occurrence in a century.
It's a pity that all those who have walked this path will mistakenly think that "knowledge changes fate" is the norm and truth out of inertial thinking.
When I graduated from university with a master's degree, I didn't know how this society worked.
The secret of class division is not at all in knowledge and effort, nor in anything that can be openly discussed in public life.
And the difference in the way of thinking, that is, the gap in cognition.
No pain, no gain? "I'm sorry, whether you are suffering from life or studying, there is no way to change across classes.
Because everything you can learn publicly will only strengthen your tool man attributes, allowing you to sell your physical, mental and time at the right time in exchange for food and clothing.
It's impossible to teach you how to make money on your own in school. In an industrialized society with a high degree of division of labor, the greatest demand is all kinds of "screws".
Only by making money independently can you recognize the truth about the workings of this society. The ability to survive independently of any organization will become more and more important from now on.
Because in the next 20 years, you will most likely exist in this society as an individual, not as a dependent.
Opportunities for ordinary people, in the "super-individual".
What is the hardest thing in the life of a child from an ordinary family? You can't make mistakes.
They don't have the richest man's father, so they can give "1 small goal" trial and error first. If you fail, not only will your future be lost, but you will also be able to deplete the savings of several generations.
This will most likely develop their cautious character, and this kind of character is very detrimental to their future development.
Because when this generation of children grows up, the world they are facing and the organizational form of the entire society will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Artificial intelligence and high-tech tools will continue to improve productivity, and the era of superimposing human labor is coming to an end.
The concept of "workplace" may not exist at all, and at that time they did not have an organization to rely on, so they had to rely on themselves.
In fact, this trend is already clearly felt.
For example, our parents' generation can do their jobs for a lifetime because the workplace is still there.
In my generation, a job is usually only 3 years, because it is very likely that after 3 years, the company you work for will be dead.
So we can continue to deduce and extend it to the future for another 10 or 20 years, that is, what will happen to the generation when our children step into society?
The business world will continue to improve the efficiency of matching supply and demand, which will bring about the acceleration of the survival of the fittest, the work will become more and more unstable, and in the end, everyone will face a situation where it is difficult to find a job and have to be forced to start a business.
In the future, medium-sized companies will disappear in large numbers, and in an "M" society, only super platforms and super individuals on both sides can survive, and that is the era of entrepreneurs per capita, and only entrepreneurs can survive.
In that situation, the child's character of being too cautious and not daring to take risks may be fatal.
If you don't dare to choose, don't dare to take the initiative to define the problem and give a solution, and still think about obeying others and being assigned work, it will be difficult to survive in the future.
Whether active or passive, a large number of opportunities for ordinary people will only be "super individuals" who make money independently, not super platforms.
The qualities you need to make money independently.
Nurturing a child's courage and tenacity is much more important than giving them knowledge.
For example, actively participate in sports, especially boys, so that they can fight on the sports field, feel the challenges and setbacks, and not give up.
Cultivating their sense of competition and the spirit of not admitting defeat will help them to be more confident in their own growth and development, and know how to accumulate their own strength.
And in the process of this competitive game, you can also slowly guide the child to understand that no matter how strong a person's ability is, he can't beat a team, and if he wants to become stronger and win the final victory, he must understand the importance of teamwork.
No matter what the future development of artificial intelligence is, when this group of children grows up, they will also have to cooperate, they must be united, and the efficiency of collaboration will be higher, which will not change.
A person who is good at competition, does not admit defeat, and knows how to unite will definitely develop better in the future.
At the same time, children should be encouraged to communicate and encourage them to express, especially dare to express in public and socially.
Because the future competition is the competition of influence and leadership, children have a sense of unity, and they must know how to speak, how to communicate, and how to speak, so as to get positive feedback, get support, be able to infect everyone, and be able to lead everyone.
In the city where I live, I see a school that encourages students to record their own thoughts and feelings and put them on the Internet to get feedback from a larger group of people, and to have a basic understanding of public behavior and laws from an early age, which is also a business practice.
This insight into human nature and emotions is the underlying ability of every child to stand on in the future.
When it comes to perception, taking children with them to deeply perceive the world is a good way to travel deeply.
Take time to live in different places for a while, and see how people in different cities live, what different habits they have, what different ideas they have, and what the world looks like through their eyes.
Bring children to perceive the real human society and the physical world, so that they can feel the diversity of human nature and human needs from an early age.
Then it is possible that the way his whole brain thinks about problems in the future is diverse, and he knows that many things are observed from different angles.
In this way, they will not be confined to their own world, or "information cocoon", they are more likely to perceive problems, easier to capture opportunities, more able to perceive needs, and better at designing solutions, which are all irreplaceable capabilities of artificial intelligence.
Of course, it is necessary to take children to be exposed to artificial intelligence in advance. The new wave is really coming, but every young parent must not be afraid, but take it as an opportunity.
AI and artificial intelligence are very important productivity and tools in the future, and they are the means of production that our children's generation can grasp to achieve breakthroughs.
Parents must find ways to help them get and use it. You also have to follow up to understand and use it.
The chicken baby is not as good as the chicken itself", this generation of young parents is really hard. But the "beloved son of parents" is to run 0-1 for him.
Please spare no effort to complete the original accumulation, and pass on to him the ability to make money independently and the correct cognition that is enough to go through the cycle.
There is only one kind of "chicken baby" that can ultimately achieve success, that is, parents stimulate their children's internal drive, so that they can learn and explore completely spontaneously, and independently survive in the social jungle and earn money independently.
Then this first lesson of survival to make money independently, do you have to master it yourself?!
I have prepared two internal notes "Dual-domain Closed-loop Light Entrepreneurship Realization Model" and "Dual-domain Closed-loop Light Entrepreneurship Money Implementation Manual", and private message application note: "Light Entrepreneurship" collection.
This book records my thoughts and mistakes to earn 1 million independently, and there are many operational details, I believe it must be very enlightening to you.
