Real Courage
A father was worried about his son , who was 16 years old but had no courage at all . So the father decided to call on a master to train his boy.
The master said to the boy's. father “You should leave your son. alone here . I'll. make him into a real man within three months. However you can't come to see him during this period.”
Three months later the boy's father returned. The master arranged a boxing match between the boy and an experienced boxer.
Each time the fighter struck the boy he fell down but at once the boy stood up. And each time a punch knocked him down, the boy stood up again. Several times later the master asked. “What do you think of your child?”
“What a shame ” The boy's father said. I never thought he would be so easily knocked down. I needn't have him left here any longer.”
“I am sorry that that's all you see .Don't. you see that each time he falls down, he srands up again instead of crying. That's the kind of courage you wanted him to have.”
译文：真正的勇气
一位父亲很为儿子担心，虽然儿子已经16岁了，却一点勇气都没有，于是父亲决定去拜访一位大师，请他训练自己的儿子。
大师对男孩的父亲说，“你把你的儿子留在这里 ，不出三个月，我会让他成为一个真正的男子汉，不过在这段时间你不能来看他。”
三个月后，男孩的父亲来见大师，大师安排这个男孩和一位经验丰富的拳师，进行拳术比赛，
拳师每次一出手，男孩都会被击落在地上，但是男孩马上又站了起来。每次被击倒，他很快又站起来。
几个回合后，大师问道，“你以为你的孩子怎么样？”
“真丢人。”男孩的父亲说 ，“我根本没想到，他是这样的不堪一击，我不能让他再留在这里了。”
“很遗憾，你只看到了这一点，难道你没看到他每次倒下后。是重新站起来而不是哭泣吗？这才是你想要他拥有的那种勇气。”
悟了一个道理
孩子是很有勇气的，但是父亲没有看到。说明，“知子莫若父”这句话是错的。
有些家长根本看不到孩子的优点，一味的指责他的缺点。
我们说，现在的教育提倡的赏识教育，要找孩子的优点而不是缺点，多鼓励，多赞扬，而不是多指责。
不能给孩子贴标签，“没有勇气”，这个标签一旦贴给孩子，孩子可能会变得越来越没有勇气。
要把“屡战屡败”，改成“屡败屡战”，不放弃就是勇气，倒地后站起来就是勇气，坚持到底就是勇气。
并不是和别人打架，非要打赢才是勇气。
希望家长能把孩子当客人家的孩子看待，那么你看到的就是他的闪光点，而不是他的缺点。
