Mother Cat's American Dream

That day, a student asked Mother Cat if she had an American dream, and that's what Mother Cat answered at that time.

I talked about this topic because I talked about Irish immigrants in class. They fled their homes to the United States because of the Irish famine and worked hard, hoping to live a better life after slowly satisfying their food and clothing.

The so-called "American Dream" does not necessarily refer to the struggle of immigrants in the United States. The protagonist in The Great Gatsby is a native American boy, but he was born in poverty, so he decided to climb up and eventually become a millionaire.

Mother cat has no dream of being a millionaire. The closest thing to a millionaire is that after I polished all the shares of Tesla, people rose sharply. If I calculate according to my original 400 shares and add shares, I can really become a millionaire. So whenever I talk about stocks, I will blame my teammates: "If I didn't listen to you and threw away those stocks, I would have been a millionaire. What book will I teach? " ! "

Actually, teaching is really my pleasure, not my livelihood.

Mother cat told her second-grade classmates that day how to turn her hobby into a career and create wealth. Some parents came over and said to the cat mother, this is too profound for the children to understand.

It's just that your family doesn't have this environment, and neither does your circle.

There are other places.

Mao Ma wanted to be a teacher in the third grade, and I really came back to be a teacher all my life. Is this my dream?

Elon Musk's mother, Maye Musk, is a few years younger, and she can still have her own career and publish books. The head of the cat said to its mother, you can do it, too. You are 30 years away from your 70 s! In the little red book, I saw many people asking, "Do I have to save tens of thousands to lie flat?"

My sister, now she begins to write some articles about the local customs around her life. I have been encouraging her. It's her hobby. Go on. Make what you like stronger and more unique. Maybe wealth will come in the future.

I went to NTB to inspect the car that morning, and only when I got there did I know that this car shop could not inspect the car. I heard an abnormal noise on the way here and told the garage manager by the way. Send a mechanic to check it at once. Then tell me what the problem is. I can go to the dealer to replace parts, or I can buy parts online, and they will repair them (a small replacement problem, not a mechanical or internal structural problem). I immediately took out my mobile phone and looked for parts. The manager took me to the front of the car, explained the problem in detail and pointed out the damaged parts.

Many women don't like to go to the garage, because they think the mechanic there will tell you a lot of questions, because you are a woman and don't understand, so let you fix this and that. I used to have such concerns, but later I gave them up.

When I paid, the bill showed 0 yuan. Obviously, people hung up the car and moved their hands to help me temporarily alleviate the problem. Obviously, it has taken time, but there is still no need to pay. I have encountered this situation several times. After checking it for me, I'll tell you where I can fix it or find accessories. Others happen to have friends nearby and ask them to help them buy parts. But never charge a penny.

Paying for inflating tires at a gas station is a trivial matter, and it is very troublesome without coins. I always go to Costco, Wal-Mart and NTB to ask about tire inflation. I don't even have to get off or wait, so I just want to solve the problem immediately. This is incredible for our teammates.

I have never been to NTB in this family, and the service attitude is the same as other families. I repair cars there, and then I have a special secluded room for my work, as well as free internet access and coffee. The one I often go to, because I know it, so I always say "here we go again!" "

*******************************

After repairing the car, I went to work in Starbucks. Starbucks is my first choice for work (writing and preparing lessons), except that the air conditioner is too full, and there are no other shortcomings. Free ice, water, internet and toilets, and the air is filled with the smell of coffee. I don't usually drink much coffee, so I always go to Starbucks. Never had an unpleasant experience.

Lao Luo mentioned in his New Year speech that one of his sponsors is a luxury car brand. Lao Luo said: I'm not asking you to buy their car, but if you have this demand, please consider their home first. I think it makes sense, so I always go to Starbucks to buy coffee and drinks on long trips. This is a friendly feedback to them.

Many people pretend that Starbucks' coffee tastes bad, but I just like it. What I like is not the feeling in my mouth, but the feeling in my heart.

Tell me another thing I met in Canada:

Send Cat Head to summer camp in summer, park the car at school, and take the nearby bus to work. It was late that day and I had to catch the bus. I had to walk 200 meters when I saw that the bus had pulled into the station. So I ran over, and then my high heels tripped over my bell bottoms, and I fell badly and couldn't get up for a long time. When I looked up, the bus was still waiting.

I stood up in pain and limped to the bus, where it was waiting. When I got on the bus, the driver asked me with concern. He handed me a big water cup and asked me to wash the wound on my knee with the water in it. Waiting for the bus to arrive at the terminal, there are already relevant staff security guards waiting with medicine boxes. They must examine my wound and help me treat and dress it. I only grinned in pain, and the security guard kept apologizing to me. In fact, his movements are very gentle. At first glance, it is professionally trained, and I can't help it. The security guard also called an ambulance, which startled me and demanded that it be cancelled quickly. It is free to call an ambulance to the hospital on the road in Canada. It's universal health insurance. If you are at home, you should pay for it yourself, or see how much insurance you have. So we all joked that we were sick at home and had to climb out on the road to call an ambulance. The security guard also asked me if I had any family members to escort me home. Seeing our teammate coming (he also went to the same terminal and changed trains), I was asked to leave without any serious problems, and told me to be careful on the road.

In the next few days, when I passed the office buildings and shopping malls on the ground of this terminal, I saw these security guards again. It turns out that the people we usually see walking around there in suits are not all office workers, and security guards patrol there to maintain law and order.

Some parents may say that mother cat worships foreigners and flatters foreigners.

Mother cat was not very keen on going abroad at first. It's ok to go out for shopping, but living abroad is another matter. And our life abroad is not comfortable, at least at first I didn't think so. The saddest thing is that I have no chance to return to China.

Going back to China once, not to mention the time cost, is also very expensive. Our family usually pays pensions at the end of the year, and there is no deposit. Wages abroad are dead and taxes are high. When I was in Canada, I only went back to China once, but my mother-in-law died.

After arriving in the United States, I got a little better, and then I went back to China, very happy. I tried to go back the next year, but failed. I can't go back to China, mainly because Maotou is going to high school, and I am very busy in summer vacation, so I can't waste three weeks to leave. So I have always fantasized that when the cat goes to college, I can be free.

Of course I'm sad, because I can't go back to China to eat, drink and have fun, but I can't feel sorry for myself or blame others. I have a friend who blames her teammates for every quarrel, because she immigrated with her teammates and has a good life in China. However, I never mention this quarrel because I am happy everywhere.

I am in Canada, and my work and study are top-notch. I went to America, and now I'm living well. So the "American Dream" is just a hypothetical statement. It's not surprising that going abroad may be a dream.

*******************************

Mother cat can be said to be a person who has no ambition and is happy with everything. I don't care how big my future goals and directions are. I firmly believe that I should take every step of my life, be practical, happy and practical step by step. So many parents say that I have no interest in marketing because I run my own business. I always discourage myself from signing up, saying it is difficult. I have to think about it. Others say hello and come and sign up. ......
