A letter written to his daughter after a quarrel between father and daughter

A letter

When you read this letter, my father’s mood is very complicated. Originally, I thought that my daughter should grow up and become more sensible. But looking at what happened in the morning is not enough. Mom and Dad are not angry because you helped Shuishui, but because they feel sorry for your waste of time and attitude towards your parents.

You always think that our home is close to the school, so what’s wrong with helping others? But have you ever considered why our home is so close to school? We used to live on the same road. The house is bigger than here, and the conditions are better than here. It's surrounded by markets, public transportation, and is closer to my parents' workplace. Why do we want to move to Yan***? Shuishui also lives on *** Road, which is further away from the school. Why doesn't she rent a house there? The answer is simple, that is, your mother is willing to pay more for you and give you more convenient conditions to win at the starting line. If you do some accounting, you will know how precious time is. Going to school on the same * road saves 15 minutes in the morning than going to school on *** road, not counting the evening time, so it is relatively comfortable. There are 52 weeks in a year, excluding 4 weeks of winter vacation, 9 weeks of summer vacation, and 10 days including Dragon Boat Festival, Labor Day, National Day, and New Year, totaling 15*5* (52-4-9)-10=2775 minutes. That is, moving saves you 2,775 minutes every year. How much does it cost to rent a house? 4,000 yuan/month, part of the cold and summer weather, the annual cost is 48,000 yuan. Calculating this, what is your cost per minute? 17.29 yuan/minute. How much time did it take you to buy books? 10 minutes? 20 minutes? Or longer? Maybe you think that it only took less than 20 minutes, so not much wasted. But have you ever thought about the time cost of your parents due to moving? 5:30 is the time for mom and dad to get off work. It takes at least three times as long for mom and dad to get home as compared to going the same way. Even dad can only take the subway home, which takes even longer. This means that every minute you waste is equivalent to taking up three times more of your parents’ time. Have you considered it? I don't feel sorry for this 30 yuan book, I feel sorry for you wasting the most cherished time in life. To put it bluntly, when you reach middle age, all you have is time.

Maybe you will say, don’t worry about us, you can do it yourself. I want to tell you that you are right, you should learn to deal with this by yourself and go your own way. But what you don't know is that society has never been fair. Nature's law of "survival of the fittest" also applies to human society. Mom and Dad don't want you to face cruel competition and elimination too early. In fact, life has been a race since birth. If you want to live a better life, you must constantly make yourself better and run faster. When you were 9 months old, your mother took you to *** kindergarten, which was the best kindergarten in the area. But did you know that you were the fourth child from the last to sign up, and you were only 9 months old, 3 You can only enter kindergarten when you are 6 years old; similarly, your little sister **, although with the help of Teacher Liu, she could only go to ** kindergarten in the end. From primary school to junior high school, why can 20-year-old children go to ***, **, while others can only go to ***, **? That's because Mom asked you to complete Level 10 Piano, Level 7 Painting, Level 7 Dance, and Level 10 Cello in a shorter time. We can always run faster than others, and of course it's because of Dad's efforts. It can be said that it has been a competition since you were born, but the protagonists of the competition are your parents; as you grow older, you play an increasingly important role in this competition, and your parents will be able to help you more and more. Coming less and less, are you ready for this? Just like the "survival of the fittest" situation in nature, the animals that are always eliminated in nature have become food for the stronger ones and have withdrawn from the competition early; and where have your classmates and friends who were eliminated by you gone? The nine-year compulsory education will end. When you enter high school, you will see in the near future that the first batch of eliminated people enter the bottom of society, setting up stalls and working as porters; when you enter college to study, the second batch of eliminated people will Those who finish their vocational high school education enter the society and work in factories as workers, store clerks, warehouse custodians, and real estate agents; when you graduate from graduate school, the third level of eliminated people enter the society as business managers, construction site supervisors, and department heads.

How many batches can you hold on to?

Compared with other students, your advantages:

[if !supportLists]1. [endif] Your home is close to the school, saving 15 minutes every day;

[if !supportLists]2. [endif] No need to clean up the room, saving 5 minutes a day;

[if !supportLists]3. [endif] No need to wash dishes after meals, saving 5 minutes a day;

[if !supportLists]4. [endif] There is no need to take the bus for weekend training classes, saving 10 minutes every day;

. . . . . .

How much is your contribution? You lie on the hot bed that your parents built for you, enjoying a more advantageous starting position with peace of mind, and even squandering these advantages at will. But have you ever thought that when you enter high school, all this will disappear, and your parents can no longer provide you with better conditions, and you have to rely on yourself, are you ready?

Every time after dinner, you want to hug your parents. Why do we keep urging you? In fact, when you enter high school soon, you spend less and less time with your parents. When you were a child, we were together 24 hours a day; except for those 7-8 hours in kindergarten, we were together the rest of the time; although elementary school is longer, but Excluding homework time, we have at least 10 hours a day; what about junior high school? The homework is becoming more and more intense, and we have less time to communicate together every day. You are about to enter high school, and the distance between you and your parents has suddenly widened a lot. Weekends plus winter and summer vacations? When you get to university, you may not even be able to guarantee the winter and summer vacations if you take postgraduate entrance examinations or travel. So, in the limited time, I hope we cherish each other.

Dad believes that you may not be convinced in your heart, and you will also talk back and say, "Didn't I give in or work hard?" Of course, Dad can see your efforts. You go to bed after 12 o'clock every day and go to bed after 5 o'clock every day. Get up at 1:00 a.m.; even on weekends, I only get an extra hour of sleep. You are gradually correcting your shortcomings, beginning to listen to your mother's advice and attach importance to mathematics learning, and you are also working very hard to participate in every training class. Aren't these your own efforts? Yes, mom and dad are very pleased with these changes in you. But these are still not enough. You have to know that those who are better than you, those who have clearer goals, and are more self-disciplined, work harder and harder. **It only took 7 months during the epidemic to surpass you. Didn’t we work hard and study during the holidays? We are still unhappy during the holidays because there is not a day when we don't study, but the results prove that ** is harder and harder.

You may have become impatient after seeing this. Okay, I won’t write anymore. Dad believes that my daughter will wake up one day, even if this day comes later. Mom and Dad cherish the time they spend with you. Dad hopes that you can have a clearer understanding of your goals and your own advantages. No matter whether this advantage is obtained through your efforts, please believe that the results are the most important. At your starting line, your parents are doing their best to keep you ahead. The road ahead is mainly up to you. Come on.

No matter what, your parents will silently bless you and protect you. Love your dad?
