生命之河里的石头
所有父母都会伤害孩子，谁都没法避免。孩子就像洁净的玻璃杯，拿过它的人会在上面留下手印。
父母很少会对他们的孩子放手，所以孩子就对父母放手。他们向前走，他们向远处走。
那些曾经让他们感到自身价值的东西——母亲的赞同，父亲的点头——都已经被他们取得的成绩替代。
直到很久以后，当他们的皮肤变得松弛了，心脏变得衰弱了，他们才会明白：他们的故事和他们所有的成就，都是基于父母的经历建立起来的，就像生命之河里的石头，层层叠叠。

学习重点：比喻
1.生命之河 （人生，生命）
2.孩子就像洁净的玻璃杯，拿过它的人会在上面留下手印。（手印-影响）
3.他们向前走 ，向远处走。（离开父母）
4.父亲的点头。（同意、认同）
5.皮肤变得松弛了，心脏变得衰弱了。（老了）
6.生命之河里的石头。（人生的经历）

第十一集 生命之河里的石头

2024 is my first year in business. It was a tough ride for me with ups and downs and many lessons that I would like to share to new entrepreneurs or even to people who are already in business for a long time. All I can say is that, "business is hard but the character development is so worth it , even if there is no substantial amount of money earned yet."
