Remembering that I’ll be 5 soon is the most important tool I’ve ever known to help me make the big 6 in life because almost everything falls away in the face of death, 7 only what is truly important

Right now the new is you, but someday not too 17 from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is 18 , so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be 19 by dogma(教条) —which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner 20 . And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart.

Why do young adult children become independent so much later than they did in 1970,when the average age of independent living was 21 Why have reduced class sizes and increased per-pupil expenditures(花销) not 1 higher academic achievement levels Why is the mental health of today’s kids so poor when 2 with that of children in the 1960s and before Why do today’s 3 become defensive when told by teachers that their children have misbehaved in school
The answer in two words: parental 4 .Those two words best summarize the 5 between “old” child raising and new, post-1960s parenting. Then, the overall philosophy was that parents were not to be 6 involved with their kids. They were available 7 crisis, but they stood a (an) 8 distance from their kids and allowed them to experience the benefits of the trial-and-error process.

Parents who get involved in their kids, 18 with peers grow kids who don’t know how to avoid much less trouble.
These kids have anxieties and fears of all sorts and don’t want to leave their 19 . And their parents, when the time comes, don’t know how to 20 being parents. You can imagine what will become of their future.
