Bad advice to my kids!

From Quartz:
The country’s official education ministry announced last week (link in Chinese) that only 70% of people in the country can be considered Mandarin speakers. Of that 70%, the ministry said, “only 10% are capable of communicating fluently” in the language. In short, you don’t have to be fluent in Mandarin to speak better than 93% of China.

Well i always tell my kids that if they study the same things as everybody else they will be easily replaced because there are many millions of kids like them! The argument goes to the conclusion that they should learn something different and I always suggest Mandarin. I guess i will focus on something else! To be really good in some team sport could be a worthwhile goal. To study some language or know a bit more of Math i don't think it would make them different!

Discipline is what it takes to be a disciple of success

I guess if you can control what you do you can set a goal an execute! If you don't control yourself it's impossible to execute you just drift.

That is why to participate in a sport, to be really good in a sport can bring the discipline and the work habits necessary to do anything in life.
