I believe that every Chinese people are familiarwith the story of Kua Fu, it says a braggadocio who miscalculating hisstrength, conceived the vain ambition of overtaking the fleeting rays of thesun, he died in the middle way because of thirst. This story tells us thatpeople should not be ignorant of one’s strength or doing something beyond one’sability. However, there is an alarming amount of Kua Fu in modern society.
我相信每个中国人都熟悉夸父的故事,说的是一个吹牛的人错误地估算了自己的实力,野心勃勃地想要追上阳光,他最后渴死在半路。这个故事告诉我们人们不应该无视自己的能力,或者做超出自己能力的事情。然而,现代夸父的数目大得惊人。
Why someone will become Kua Fu? I believethat one of the main reasons for this question is that we had been educated tobe confidence in all kind of circumstance. Remember what our parents and teachersaid to us when we were young? “You can do that!” “You got it!” “You are thebest!” I didn’t mean that praise and encouragement will lead to arrogant, butwhen we judge a kid, a pertinent evaluation is fine, if we praise them blindly,it will make children understand their own ability mistakenly.
为什么有人会变成夸父?我相信这个问题的主要原因是因为我们一直被教育在任何情况下都要充满自信吧。还记得我们小时候父母和老师跟我们说过什么么?“你做得到的!” “你能行!” “你是最好的!”我不是说赞美和鼓励会造成自大,但是当我们评判一个孩子的时候,中肯地评价就好了,如果我们盲目地赞美,会让孩子错误地估计自己的能力的。
