"I was a "C" student in school and then became the owner of a successful business" or "I was an excellent student and then disappeared from the radar and did not achieve anything in life" - do these sayings sound familiar? How do we understand why some children achieve great success while others remain "average"? It's all about a developed brain and good adaptation.
To develop thinking, flexibility and speed of mind, a child needs to make certain efforts. For example, doing homework, memorizing information and structuring it, solving more difficult problems, learning a foreign language, finding connections between objects or phenomena, understanding cause-and-effect relationships.
To successfully adapt to new circumstances, from a change of teacher to a change of residence, a child needs a broad outlook, self-confidence, emotional stability and, of course, family support.
The skills learned do not only work well in school. The same skill that helps a child find a proof of a theorem will also be a great help during work negotiations.
Developed thinking makes it easier to choose the right partners and conclude successful business contracts. And the skill of adaptation helps in the right situation to quickly readjust and change your behavior.
For example, if a job offers a business trip to another country, the ability to adapt will help you successfully solve work tasks in a new place, recruit new specialists and devote time to your family.
The relationship between the effort expended and the result obtained is direct - the more effort, the better the result. A simple example:
A - graduated from college, no special achievements, knows native language and a little foreign language, briefly worked in the profession.
B - graduated from a prestigious university, got an MBA, knows 4 languages fluently, worked a little in the profession.
Who will the CEO take to a promising position with great pleasure? Naturally, applicant B, because the effort he has put into himself will be useful to himself and the company he is being employed by. This is quite justified and logical.
Marcus Aurelius wrote: "Nothing comes out of nothing, just as nothing passes into nothing". If initially the foundation for future development is not laid in the child, there is no need to expect success in the future. But if parents and child make efforts to become happier, more harmonious and successful, these efforts will never go to waste.
