小时候,母亲总是告诉我,“你应该成功。将来有一天,你一定会成功。”

小时候渴望长大。去幼儿园没多久我就腻了。我跑回家,跟家里人说:“我不上幼儿园了行不行,我要上小学。”

母亲问我:“怎么了,幼儿园里不好么?”“太无聊了,整天都是唱歌吃东西,老师教的东西也太简单了。”

“你才五岁,再读一年幼儿园就可以读小学了。”

大部分的父母可能都会认为孩子胡闹,但是母亲处理的方法与众不同。

“下个月私立小学有入学考试。如果你的能力不够,你就没法通过入学考试;可如果你通过了考试,就表明你有能力,那就让你去读小学。”

于是我就请母亲帮我报名,然后努力学习,努力准备。

发榜那天,母亲陪我去学校,一下子就看到“李开复”三个字在第一名的位置闪亮。母亲激动地像个孩子一样地叫起来:“哎呀,第一个就是李开复,你考上了!”

我也激动地跳起来,抱住母亲哇哇大叫。

那一刻,母亲脸上无法掩饰的兴奋和自豪即便是过了几十年我也不会忘记。从母亲的表情中我才知道,自己一丁点的小成功可以让母亲那么的骄傲。同时,这件事也让我懂得,只要大胆尝试,积极进取,就有机会得到我期望中的成功。感谢母亲给了我机会,去实现我人生中的第一次尝试和跨越。

在中国,父母对孩子的关爱特别深,生怕孩子受一点伤害,不愿让孩子冒险尝试与众不同的东西。其实孩子从小就需要独立性、责任心、选择能力和判断力。很庆幸的是,在我五岁的时候,我父母就把选择权交给了我,让我成为了自己的主人。
