In recent years, the most misleading sentence for parents in the field of education is "Don't let children lose at the starting line". Some parents are worried that their children will lose at the starting line, and through various training courses, they will instill knowledge that is inconsistent with their children's age in advance to encourage their children.

If life is described as a game, the metaphor of "starting line" is more appropriate. But "losing at the starting line" is only suitable for short-distance races, such as the 100-meter race. If it is a marathon, you are not afraid of losing at the starting line. On the contrary, marathoners who win at the starting line often get up early and rush to the late gathering because they don't save their physical strength. The characteristic of marathon is who laughs last and who laughs best.

The key to long-distance running is to preserve physical strength, which is the same as the truth that children learn knowledge. When children don't have certain experience, instilling knowledge that doesn't match their age will lead children to lose interest in knowledge. The success of education is not measured by grades, but by whether the educated are more and more interested or less interested in what they have learned. If the educated are more and more interested in what they have learned, education is successful, and vice versa.

The starting line is the beginning. The turning point is transformation, and the end point is the end.
