Perhaps these are words of wisdom for us all, whatever our age. Perhaps if our children are younger, we can set the intention to parent in such a way that we teach them this wisdom by example.

也许这些富含哲理的话对我们所有人都适用，不管我们年龄多大。如果孩子还年幼，我们应该用这样的方法来教育他们，那就是以实际行动作为例子来教会他们这些人生智慧。

你所从事的工作并不能代表你。你在银行的现金数额不能代表你。你的财产也不能代表你这个人。
