In order to develop the small gates’ emotional intelligence and confidence, old gates invented the “family Olympic Games” game, and children in the game, the communication and teaching.

At the same time, he was from his familiar “family Olympic Games” were inspired, roll out called “Microsoft game” outdoor competition project, and become Microsoft company every year of one of the major activities necessary.
Old gates thinks, family education mode is not immutable, parents should learn to according to the characteristics of children, the education mode timely adjust and innovation, only such ability can help children find the correct road to success.
The following is William Henry gates interview the.
William Henry gates:
Mary and I are in the old family in the growth of the parents say what we all have to obey. This pattern is not suitable for son. He began his preteens, the emotional aspects is very independent. He want to do what, don’t want to do what, all want to own.
Once, the rebellious young delay our travel time, he asked us: “I’m thinking about. Don’t you never think?” He give me a powerful lesson-no matter how busy you are, you do have more important, it takes time to think.
I grow up in the great depression, know the meaning of saving water, the money you spend to smart, is also need by working hard to earn. I still have the idea. I have never to children said “later to like me, don’t like me” word. Our criteria is always do the best, to follow them. Bill from Harvard University drop out from school, I not only feel depressed, but also for his future worry-he has no college degree? But now I’m sure the children follow our teaching, in order to dream do the best. The results prove he selected a the most the right path.
He is a successful entrepreneur, a good husband, father, to his way of life I pride but again……. Of course I am sure he mentally, ability, the life will also grow-I hope that any of us don’t for their achievements complacency, stagnant. In the world there are a lot of unfinished business, life still need to improve.
In a lot of things we have different opinions, we respect, admits of the exchange, the discussion, and debate, but it is a useful and informative practice, we improve the understanding of each other, improve the think of things and ideas.
When the children were little, sometimes we hold “joy Olympic Games” activities. In the family education, the game is very important education mode. Parents and children play together, in the game develop the child’s IQ and eq. The children in the game contact new things, feel the concern of the family, and through the virtual competition environment, can cultivate children’s adventure and enterprising spirit, and their victory in them a sense of accomplishment and you are grown old self sure consciousness, virtually, foster the consciousness of competition up, be helpful for they mature of knowledge and amraphel after clinging to the stage of life.
“Happy Olympic Games” activities in the past 15 years Microsoft succeeded in the great rondo, in our family’s help, gates invented for what he called the “Microsoft game (Microgames)”–will be “happy Olympics,” the reconstruction design into a bitter outdoor competition, “Microsoft game” had become one of the year’s big event of Microsoft.
As the child was young, Mary those initiated by the effect of the traditional family realize, “Microsoft game” nourish everyone involved in the enthusiasm and sense of cooperation, and his teammates friendship let everybody more wholeheartedly into the game.
Our family often party topic of discussion all-embracing, such as to discuss China become future leaders of the world behind the power, to discuss those who don’t like us rich people, will also be discussed child-raising experience, and our school team when can we get “the rose bowl” (NianDuXing American university football game title). Our topic no boundary, the party is often drag late into the night. These activities can make children from a YanShenXing family feel and understand love. I believe that these is to help them succeed elements.
Sometimes I have some upset since my son with the–with me the same name, and I no longer to this for many years the name of its patented, occasionally will think I be debased the-but the feeling then be proud son for emotional replaced. I hope China’s family also understand, gates family life with them–our parenting with them by any different.
