何為完美的道路？

莫非現今所謂尖子畀我們一代叻？我們一代小數玩音樂叻，多數打下波，讀完ivy league現在大多 過著打份工湊下仔囡生涯。有「出頭」過的現在也想低調些（最多在EK吹下水：） btw, 認識呢幾年的EAS 學生（大家說的所謂尖子），其實在中小學也不是接受過什麼特訓，只是高中時專心鋤書倒也真。

以你的觀察，鋤書能力強到社會大學，能否令他們繼續名列前矛？

As you point out in another thread, some just do things they like and teach sports, music, tutoring, ......  The ones I know who are "打份工湊下仔囡" are usually doing it in style with a driver, nice home, IS education, lavish vacation, ......   
I still think Ivy League are very good stepping stones since it provides access to some opportunities that are very hard to come by otherwise.

I raise this question as I don't know the correlation of hardworking is the most critical criteria for their future success. And not focus on the definition of success.
As an ex-consultant, I don't think as a partner is so call success, became a partner is the time I made up my mind to quit, happy family life is more important than status and monetary return.

I think of hardworking as a necessary but not sufficient condition for success?

I rather my kid to spend his time dreaming and thinking what's he is living for instead of equipping a lot of skills that he might not be able to use and interested.  If he understand what he wants and has a dream of what he would like to do, skills needed for that will follow as he pursues his dream and live his life.

Interesting, how do you know thy are dreaming or thinking?
I only figure it out through talking, sharing etc with the kid. But we need some follow up to help them to realize those dreams, skills, exposure etc are all needed.

不能一概而論，當年中五八、九A現在工作上的成就不比三、四A的好，但多數比成績中下的一班好。鋤書叻的確令大家入到較好的大學機會高些。而在ivy league 畢業後亦都較容易入到大公司，而再表現出色，就造就一批大家說有家底、資源的家長。（btw,這些家長的孩子就正在參與小一入學的遊戲。）工作表現不太突出的（我也有個案炒過一位Harvard生而請了中大生），持著Ivy league加第一份top tier corporate 工（如Morgan, Mckinsey, BCG) 又真的比較容易呃飯食。

Yes, those careers usually don't last for a long time anyway since they are highly stressful and many also don't want that type of lifestyle, e.g. travel 5 days a week and work from 9am to 11pm everyday.

I think there are also individual cases of people doing well or not well.  Probably better to look at a cohort or group of people?

For certain months, 0700-0200, couldn't play with my sin....... No family life at all.

Since my son is still very young age, it is really difficult to know what he is thinking or dreaming about the future. However, I think he will need time and space to develop his own interest and develop the core values.  I can only expose him to different things and values and show him what we believed and hope he will absorb and develop his own belief.

Yes, exposure is the key, observation also important.
