A mother's letter to her child: Son, having a good outlook on life is more important than money.

Son, there was a time when you longed for a lot of pocket money to buy your favorite toys. I remember once in the mall, you saw a puzzle that you were obsessed with and wanted your mother to buy it for you, but she didn't agree.

At that time, you said to your mother, "I wish I had a mobile phone. I can scan the QR code with my mobile phone to buy toys!" "

Mom is surprised to hear you say that! But it's more self-reproach. Surprisingly, you should know about mobile payment. Self-blame is that your mother usually gives you too little money education, which makes you feel that spending money is so simple.

For a long time, my mother always thought that feeding and warming you and buying all the toys and food you want are the best love and education for you. However, you have neglected that you have grown up and started to have a curious idea about money, thinking that money can be obtained casually and that money is omnipotent, and you can buy anything you want.

Today, my mother wants to say to you: "only hard work can buy money, and money is not everything;" We want to be the masters of money; Having a good outlook on life is far more important than money. "

1. Money is not everything.

In the cartoon Spongebob, Spongebob suddenly had a lot of money. When he sees people, he gives them to each other. In order to get his money, many people flocked to his house and said they wanted to be good friends with him, making him happy with flattery.

His best friend sent a big star to his home and said, "Your money will soon be gone if you give it to others, and these people just want your money to be your friend."

Spongebob was very unhappy. He thought Patrick was jealous of him, so he made people angry and drove him away.

But one day when Spongebob habitually reached into his pocket to get money, he suddenly found that all his pockets were empty. Those "friends" who were still joking at his house turned their heads and left, even the things he put on the table were taken away.

After a long time, he walked out of the house in frustration. Inadvertently, I saw Pai Daxing sitting not far away. When I saw him coming out, I gave up my position and let him sit there silently, without complaining about what he had just driven out.

Children, when Spongebob is rich, people who speak well around him can accompany him to eat, drink and have fun; When he has no money, he will run away immediately. Such friends are not real friends.

Spongebob thinks that as long as he gives money to those people and invites them to eat, drink and have fun, those people are his friends. But the reality is that when he has no money, those people will disperse in a hubbub.

Son, you should know that a true friend will treat you sincerely and accompany you no matter whether you have money or not.

Although money is a necessity of life, it can't buy the care and friendship of friends, so money is not everything.

Second, be the master of money.

In the movie "The Secret Key", the hotel owner designs the ownership of the bay and takes away the hard-won treasure of the children with the gang couple. They lost their humanity for money. In their eyes, money is paramount, and they never care whether the tribesmen have a place to live or how to survive. They have become slaves to money.

Several children went to look for treasure to help the tribal residents keep the bay. On the way to treasure hunt, I was constantly surrounded and framed by gangster couples. After the children went through all kinds of hardships to find the treasure and exchanged the ownership of the bay with the hotel owner, they realized that the hotel owner and the gangster couple were a group. They not only took the treasure, but also locked the children up.

The children cleverly subdued the gangster couple and came out to catch the hotel owner who was about to escape with the tribal people. When the police arrived, they handed over the bad guys to the police and helped the tribesmen hold the bay.

You said to me, "The hotel owner and the gangster couple are very bad and robbed the children of their hard-won treasure."

You're right. They did whatever it took for money and were finally brought to justice. Children have a kind heart. They have treasure, but not greed. They just want to be more meaningful rich people. They are examples that we should learn from.

As the saying goes: "A gentleman loves money and takes it wisely."

It's right to like money, but don't hurt people for money; Don't do anything illegal for money.

Child: You should learn to be the master of money, not a slave.

Third, knowledge is your most precious wealth.

The Persian poet Sadi said: "Knowledge is an inexhaustible source and inexhaustible wealth."

The money and wealth you have can be spent and used up; And the knowledge you have only belongs to yourself, and others can't take it away and squander it.

Son, my mother remembers reading such a news before, "Liu, a college student, goes to school behind his mother's back." 」

It tells the story of Liu, a college student in Guizhou mountainous area. His father died of illness when he was very young, and his brother and sister went out to work and lost contact. His mother can't accept repeated blows and suffers from mental illness. From then on, when he was very young, he went to school and took care of his sick mother while working.

Although life was hard, he didn't give up the opportunity to learn, because he firmly believed that "knowledge can change fate". 」

Later, after he graduated from college, many companies invited him to work. A company offered him an annual salary of 550 thousand to take his mother with him, but he refused.

He said: "I want to go back to my hometown, help more people go to college and get rid of poverty in my hometown."

He returned to his hometown and became a high school teacher, looking for dropouts everywhere and letting them return to school; Many poor students have no money to go to school, so he subsidizes them with his own salary. In eight years, he sponsored 1900 students.

The life of his son Liu's big brother is so hard, but he didn't give up studying, because he was convinced that knowledge changed his destiny.

A knowledgeable person and a loving heart can help more knowledgeable people. Although they don't have much money, they tell the world with their brilliant lives that knowledge is a person's most precious wealth.

Fourth, write it at the end.

Mark Twain once said, "If you know how to use it, money is a good slave. If you don't know how to use it, it will become your master. "

Son, you should know the rest of your life.

0 1 mom and dad's money is bought by wisdom and labor, and this world has never been gained for nothing.

Mom and dad take you to pick up a mineral water bottle and take you to the construction site to see the hard work of the workers, so that you can see and feel that the process of making money is not easy. You should learn to cherish and make good use of it.

You have to understand that some things can't be bought by money, such as friendship, affection and parents' love for you.

Son, mother hopes you can have a correct outlook on money and life when you grow up, so that you can use and control money and be the master of money, not a slave.

May you

Peace, happiness and academic progress!

Love your mother.
