Dear Parents,
亲爱的家长们,
The exams of your children are to start soon. I know you are all really anxious for your child to do well.
你们的孩子即将参加一次考试。我知道你们对他们的表现非常焦虑担心。
But, please do remember, amongst the students, who will be sitting for the exams, there is an artist, who doesn't need to understand Maths.
但是,请谨记,在这些参加考试的所有学生中,会存在根本不需要懂得数学的艺术家。
There is an entrepreneur, who doesn't care about History or English literature.
也会存在不关心历史和英文文学的企业家。
There's a musician, whose Chemistry marks won't matter.
也会存在与化学成绩分数毫不相干的音乐家。
There's a sportsperson, whose physical fitness is more important than Physics..like Schooling
也会存在运动天才,而他的身体健美远比物理重要得多,例如学校教育。
If your child does get top marks, that's great! But, if he or she doesn't, please don't take away their self-confidence and dignity from them.
如果你的孩子考取了高分,那是好极了!但是如果他或她没有考高分,请不要剥夺他们的自信心和尊严。
Tell them it's OK, it's just an exam! They are cut out for much bigger things in life.
告诉他们,没事的,这只是一次考试而已!他们天生就是做更大事儿的材料。
Tell them, no matter what they score, you love them and will not judge them.
告诉他们,无论他们考了多少分数,你依然爱着他们并且不会评判他们。
Please do this, and when you do, watch your children conquer the world. One exam or a low mark won't take away their dreams and talent.
请这样去做,当你们这样做时,看着你的孩子征服世界。一次考试或是一次低分不会带走他们的梦想和天赋。
And please, do not think that doctors and engineers are the only happy people in the world.
再有,请不要以为只有医生和工程师才是世界上唯一幸福的人群。
With Warm Regards,
