Long time no see!!
After the summer vacation and our boys are back to school, hope they can settle well in the new classes.
We as parent are concerned about studying and school results of our kids.
But this small story will give you another angle. In the book called "小故事、大智慧—當代世界出版社" as introduced by 李怡 in today's 千禧年代, a study by Yales scholar reveals that few successful people are good academically. Of course, good examination results can forecast the success to some degree.
The key message was to be successful, a new quotient 成功智力 consists of 分析、創意及實踐 is more important than IQ or examination result. A few years back, everybody talks about knowledge is power "知識=力量" but not so. In the new era, creativity 創意 is the key to success.
Educators worldwide are watching a "10th effect" phenomenon where those who are ranked 10th is examination is more successful. These kids are all round with interest in music, art, creativity and many interests. They will not spend all their times in study alone.
So in the start of the academic year, have you plan with your kids what to engage in this year? More time to study, or more time to play?
