Xia Paul's eldest son graduated from Harvard University with a master's degree in law and MBA.
The eldest son was a primary school student in Japan when he was a child. At that time, Mr. Xia worked in Japan. His son has to do homework late every day, which makes people feel distressed. Mr. Xia chose to send his son to a school in America.
In an interview with reporters, Mr. Shapiro said that children in the United States don't have to carry schoolbags, and young people in the United States won't behave worse because they don't have to carry schoolbags to do their homework when they were children. Therefore, he thinks the books in the children's schoolbags are useless. He said that the top universities in the world 100 are not from China or Japan, but from the United States and Europe.
Two and a half years later, his son, who was only 10 and a half years old, actually took a bus to Florida airport, bought a plane ticket, flew to Los Angeles, and then transferred from Los Angeles to their home in Tokyo. In retrospect, Mr. Xia himself was a little scared, and he didn't know how a ten-year-old child did all this.
Making children independent from childhood is a magic weapon for Shapiro's education. He said that this is more gratifying and reassuring than owning a lot of property. He said that independence is not only independence in life, but also independence in thought. He raised his children to have their own views on things from an early age and not to listen to other people's suggestions. : children speculate in stocks at the age of five
In1654381In his speech in Dalian on October 20, Xia Paul repeatedly emphasized a point: children can't manage money, but they are not rich for three generations. His children have bought their own stocks since they were five years old.
When each child is very young, Xia Paolo tests IQ, EQ and financial quotient for the children, grasps the three quotients of each child, finds out their strengths and cultivates them.
People in China tend to focus only on IQ, not EQ and FQ. He asked his children to learn to keep accounts from an early age, and to check once a week the money they spent, which money should be spent, which money should not be spent, which money is spent too much and which money is spent too little. Children learn to save costs in the process of bookkeeping. On the one hand, learning to manage money can make children not stingy, on the other hand, let him learn to spend money on the cutting edge.
He not only taught children to save money, but also learned to open source. Mr. Xia said that his children began to try to buy their own stocks at the age of five. He taught them methods and basic analysis about interest rate, industry, supply, company and time period. He said: "making money is a sense of accomplishment." Shapiro's five children all received MBA degrees from famous American universities, three obtained master's degrees in law and two obtained master's degrees in medicine. But now they are all engaged in investment banking. Last year, the most one of them earned 4 million dollars a year, and the least one earned 2 million dollars a year. It's a money-making machine Comprehensive quality is more important than physical chemistry 100 times.
Learn mathematics and physics well, and you are not afraid to travel all over the world. This sentence has been popular in China for many years. But today, this rule is obviously out of date. Shapiro said that a person's comprehensive quality is more important than physical chemistry 100 times. Many people understand this truth, but what is comprehensive quality? Shapiro said that comprehensive quality is first manifested in self-confidence. "Self-confidence is based on success. Small success leads to small self-confidence, small self-confidence leads to medium success, medium success leads to great self-confidence, and great self-confidence leads to greater success. This is a virtuous circle. " Shapiro said that inferiority complex will form a vicious circle along the same track. In order to make children successful and have a sense of accomplishment, he has always encouraged and supported them.
Shapiro's so-called comprehensive qualities also include independence, professionalism, team spirit, life, work, financial management, personality development, learning ability and so on. He teaches children to be dedicated, not to watch the clock and get off work at 5 o'clock, but to finish things before work. The reason why children's emotional intelligence should be tested from an early age is to guide them to be human. "Dedicated people, people with team spirit, people who can do things, people who can be human, no one will not like it. Training children to be liked is Shapiro's simplest training principle.
Once his children are over ten years old, they will go to a country for a holiday every year and learn the language there by the way. Today, all his children can speak English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese. I am glad to share it with you, but it is hard to think of your help.
Shapiro is a kind father who can roll in front of children. "I used to ride them when they were young." Paul Xia has been friends with children since childhood. He said, "In this way, children will think of you first when they are in trouble and share them with you when they are happy." He said that understanding children and making friends with them are the least parents should do.
He knows children and teaches them in accordance with their aptitude. Which child has strong logical ability, train him in mathematics, engineering and law; Whoever has a strong creative ability will cultivate his art and writing. The task of parents is to discover the potential of children and locate them. The sooner they locate, the better. For example, Shapiro said, if you are a violinist, but you haven't touched the violin at the age of 4, you will be buried.
Shapiro is not only a successful educator, but also a famous international entrepreneur and educator. Shapiro has trained thousands of CEOs all over the world.
