Demon Lord 3

Chapter 1944 Influence

How much influence does this generation have on the next? I don't really want to comment too much, since it's not my concern. But I still want to talk about what influence means. My companions gathered around, looking at me, and I smiled: "The influence of this generation on the next is through words and deeds. Actually, every generation is like this, but the difference lies in the depth to which these words and deeds are taught. If the next generation were to completely absorb everything from each generation, the world would never progress. Progress is about taking the essence and discarding the dross. A person doesn't have to be the most capable or powerful, but when it comes to educating children, they must use all their life's learning and insights to teach them. Even if they don't have any strengths, they should tell their children that a person can lack strengths, but they cannot lack a healthy body and a beautiful spirit. Body and spirit are the foundation of everything, and no matter how we change, these must be preserved forever." After listening... Everyone nodded in agreement. Zhou Chuyuan added, "That's right. There can only be one person who is number one in the world. Parents don't necessarily represent the world's best, but in our hearts, they are incredibly capable and irreplaceable. Therefore, our feelings for our parents are very deep, and we must learn from their education. These are experiences, but the most valuable experience is our own. If a parent has lived a life of failure and summarizes the experiences of the previous generation from 30 years ago, it's meaningless, like misleading. The only way for people today to educate their children and influence their future is to confidently tell them that their parents relied on an indomitable spirit, intelligence, emotional intelligence, and most importantly, a strong physique and a beautiful spirit." Listening to his heartfelt explanation, I could see him proudly educating his children in the future, but it was just a thought. We are destined to be without children. We then watched quite a few more... Educational short films and the influence of parents on their children, but what truly resonates is the kind of teaching by example we just discussed. Parents educate their children with their own strengths and pride. After all, these children have undergone genetic selection, with superior genes being selected and inferior ones eliminated. Therefore, the children are of high quality. High quality doesn't mean perfect, but it represents the parents' boundless expectations and best wishes for their children from the moment they are formed. Genes are still their own; they extract their best and most prized genes and pass them on to their children. These superior genes perfectly match the parents' positive traits. When parents see a new version of themselves, or even someone who surpasses them, they feel a heartfelt sense of joy and pride. Seeing another version of themselves, another version that can go even further, is such a wonderful feeling. Then, they pass on even more of their own strengths to their children, allowing them to... The real influence lies in learning from oneself, not in grand pronouncements or unrealistic ambitions. Life itself is a form of influence; as the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black." Children don't care what their parents say, but what they do. Doing something once is worse than saying it ten times. Play a positive role in a child's imitation and growth. Positive doesn't mean perfect, but rather a positive aspect that aligns with the beauty of life. Life is inherently imperfect, but it is precisely this imperfection that makes it real and beautiful. In 30, 60, or even more years, we may no longer care about these trivial matters, but whenever we sit at this table again and recall our memories, they surge forth like a tide, engraving a deep wound in our hearts, as if pulling us back to the past. At that moment, we remember everything. From the Paleolithic to the Neolithic Age, it took millions of years to polish stone tools; from feudal dynasties, slavery, and a land-based mentality to the rise of the Industrial Revolution, it took thousands of years; from automobiles and airplanes to artificial intelligence, self-driving cars, and aerospace, it took hundreds of years; from exploring space, understanding space, to going to space, and immigrating to space, it took decades. Time and again, there have been successes and setbacks, and the pace will only accelerate, faster than we can imagine, faster than we can fathom. Our lives are a one-way ticket; since there is no turning back, let's keep moving forward, forging our own path, and never looking back.
