Trump: Apprenticeship
Us real estate mogul Donald Trump is the host of an inspirational TV show, The Apprentice, which impresses viewers with real business competition and his parenting style.
When his son was young, Trump was so busy building his business empire that he didn't even get to see his children, let alone help them with homework or take them to the park on weekends. What Trump instills in his children more than anything else is the idea of "value for money" -- that anything they want must be earned.
Trump Jr. got his first job at age 13 as a waiter on his parents' Atlanta gambling boat, earning tips in addition to his basic income. In college, Trump Jr. only received a certain amount of pocket money each month and had to work for it.
After graduating from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, Trump Jr. developed a keen interest in the business. For now, he is his father's, right-hand man. He demanded that he not embarrass his father in front of the whole group. He has business conversations with his father at least once a day. He described his father as a fair boss, demanding perfection from everyone and everything, a work machine.
Dong Hao-Yun: Pearl carved
"Tung Chee-Hwa is a pearl crafted by his father Tung Ho-wan," said one commentator. A generation of shipping king Tung Ho-wan has created a Hong Kong-based ocean-going shipping kingdom, Orient Overseas, with 12m tonnes of ships. On his eldest son Tung Chee-Hwa's second birthday, Tung Ho-woon inscribed the next line on the back of his photo - "Welcome to the morning light of a great new era".
After Dong graduated from college, Dong Haoyun asked him to go to the lowest level of General Motors as an ordinary clerk. Dong Haoyun does not doubt that his son is an ideal person, but worrying about his hard spirit is not enough, so he finds bitter, accepts the challenge of life, and starts from the bottom. So Tung worked hard in the United States for four years.
While working in the United States, Tung asked his father to apply for a "green card" for him to make life and work easier. Dong Haoyun listened very angrily and resolutely did not agree to apply for a green card for his son. "Whatever it is, we are still Chinese," he told Mr. Tung. No matter what the individual did not do, no one will look up to them."
Kenichi Ohmae: Growth is laissez-faire
Kenichi Ohmae, a Japanese management guru, had two sons, and when the sons were teenagers, they often had conversations with each other. When his son's friends came to play, the father would join them. When the whole family goes out for a trip, the son will invite his friends to go out with him.
Neither of Ohmae's children had a full school education. The eldest son majored in chemistry at Nihon University but dropped out to pursue a career in it field and ended up designing computer graphics. By his 20s, Mr. Ohmae's eldest son had developed into a versatile talent who did everything from technology to sales. Moreover, he understood the true meaning of work very early, and his father would consult with him about anything, and entrusted him with a great deal of work.
The second son survived through junior high school, enrolled in a full-time boarding high school in the United States, and then enrolled at the University of Southern California, where he studied computer science. But he dropped out before finishing and later worked as a computer project manager for a company. After discovering the second son's computer expertise, Ohmae made him his Apple computer administrator, writing contract texts and paying him to work. With this income, there is no need to give pocket money; The eldest son worked as an administrator of windows computers.
Ohmae does not sacrifice his sons' hobbies and choices for the sake of so-called success. Instead, he lets them quietly enjoy the maturity of life, rather than squeezing it and letting it go bad.
