How Do Parents from Different Social Classes Educate Their Children?

Lower-Class Parents

“Child, listen to your teachers at school, study hard, and get into a good university. Only then will you be able to find a good job. Only by enduring the greatest hardships can you rise above others!

If academics really aren’t for you, learning a practical trade is also a good option.”

Middle-Class Parents

“Child, in the adult world, there are no friends—only interests.

The purpose of studying is to make yourself more valuable. You need to understand human nature and study economics, law, and management.

Only when you have value will others seek you out, enabling you to live a better life.”

Upper-Class Parents

“Child, remember this: ordinary people are cheap labor. We can hire them and use their labor as a tool to make money. The more hardship they are willing to endure, the more profit we can make.

At the same time, we must package products and services with various concepts and sell them to ordinary people at high prices, stimulating their desire to consume.

If they cannot afford those things, we can lend them money and eventually turn their debt into chains that bind them. Otherwise, no matter how much wealth you possess, you will never be able to hold on to it.”

Elite Parents

“Child, our core purpose is to master leadership and establish the rules. But if you want to make the rules, you must first earn other people’s trust and respect.

Therefore, you must develop social charisma, cultivate a compelling personality, become leadership material, and become a leader. You must understand how to win people over and learn how to lead a team.

Compared with academic grades, physical strength, courage, and personal connections are more important.

Sports are especially valuable. They naturally teach you how to collaborate with other children, find your place within a team, release pressure, and strengthen your influence and leadership abilities.

If you want people to trust you and listen to what you have to say, you must learn how to tell stories and weave your intentions into them.

In addition to storytelling, you should also study finance. It is not only an immensely powerful form of leverage, but it also allows you to understand and apply the principles governing wealth.

That is why sports, public speaking, writing, social networking, and finance are all extremely important.”
