The story is tolking about the search for meaning. At first the mother admonished him to eat the vegetables. But the boy still eat steak that unhealthy for his health.Then he became the obease. Then his mother make a new strategy that the boy follow his own heat,his own conscience. The consequence was very good.
So we should find the right way to study and to make a change. Don’t focuse ourselves to do the things. Such as studying English、reading books or learning computer. We should find the right way to guide ourselves to make good habits. As the same time we should find the postive feedback.
Now I want to recommend a book The Seven Habits of an Effective Person. The Chinese means 《高效能人士的七个习惯》There is a chapter that Mission Statement(使命宣言).This is also means search for meaning for your life. And it will give you the right direction and create the good consequence.
