Chapter 1081 The Troubles of the Rich! Professor Dong's Guidance!
"Butler Han, you'll be in charge of the family education team from now on!"

Han Shulan is more capable than Song Yiqiang in family education, so Su Yang entrusted her with managing this detailed work!
"Good boss!"

Han Shulan nodded!

Su Yang looked at Song Yi and asked, "What should we configure next?"

Song Yi bowed and said, "Boss, a nutritionist and a private doctor!"

“Okay!” Su Yang thought for a moment and said, “I’ll take care of that!”

In terms of nutritionists, he has trained a group of professionals in recent years, all of whom are employed by Jiuxiang Healthy Catering. Both Xianglong Team and Shancheng Xinlu have nutritionist teams from Jiuxiang Healthy Catering.

Although they all lean towards sports and fitness, he can still choose the one that suits him best.

As for doctors, he could ask Xia Xi; their doctors should be among the best in the country.

“Okay, boss!” Song Yi glanced at the child and said, “It would be best to have someone who is more tailored to the child… but probably not as expensive as Professor Dong!”

Su Yang nodded: "I understand!"

By the weekend, Su Yang had signed an employment contract with Professor Dong.

After the contract was signed, everyone chatted together for a while.

Professor Dong wanted to understand what kind of person Su Yang wanted to raise his child to be, while Su Yang mainly discussed educational issues with Professor Dong, focusing on adolescent cases from Yanhu Education and Shangxin Psychology.

Professor Dong glanced at the child in Chen Li's arms, who had been born into a privileged family and was born into a privileged background, and said, "...The children of the rich can sometimes suffer more than the children of the poor. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, once money satisfies the basic needs, the suffering comes from higher-level needs!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Li couldn't help but look up at Professor Dong.

Seeing Su Yang nod and look at her expectantly, Professor Dong relaxed slightly and continued:
"The human brain has a characteristic called hedonic adaptation. No matter how much benefit you receive, the brain will recalibrate its normal value in a short period of time. A child from an ordinary family can be excited for half a year after buying a car, while a rich person may only be happy for three days after buying a Maybach. The richer a person is, the less likely they are to be happy by new stimuli. When material stimulation approaches saturation, the sense of happiness is more likely to collapse... The anxiety of ordinary people is survival anxiety, while the anxiety of many rich people is existential anxiety!"

Su Yang nodded seriously, agreeing with Professor Dong's point.

He wasn't really happy for long after he bought a Rolls-Royce last time.

It wasn't nearly as exciting as when I bought that U8.

He recently planned to buy a 1 billion yuan mansion, but the sense of anticipation and happiness he felt was far less than the less than 200 square meter apartment he bought in Fuzhou for the first time!

Su Yang laughed and said, "You're not just talking about rich kids, are you?"

"Hmm!" Professor Dong nodded. "People who start from scratch may also have this problem once they reach a certain level, but their minds are often stronger than those of the rich second generation. They also have their own businesses, can find their own meaning, and find their place in society, making it easier for them to overcome this anxiety and pain... But the rich second generation is very prone to falling into this kind of psychological problem, which in turn triggers a series of issues!"

Su Yang then realized: "So, Professor Dong is thinking about what will happen to him twenty years from now?" "More or less! This is a common problem for many second-generation rich kids!" Professor Dong nodded. "I've met quite a few second-generation rich kids. Some of them are indeed very outstanding, but some have developed many psychological problems... and there are even a very small number who seem to have no worries about food and clothing and are living a happy life, but in the end they choose to commit suicide!"

Su Yang humbly asked, "Then what should I do?"

"It's important to help children find meaning in life!"

Is there a meaning to life?

“That’s right!” Professor Dong adjusted his glasses and said, “Ordinary people can solve their happiness with money, while the rich can only solve it with their mindset, and the latter are often more likely to suffer. This is the theory of social comparison!”

"People don't want to be happy, they want to be happier than others. The rich are often surrounded by other rich people, so the benchmark for comparison is raised, and the sense of happiness is diluted!"

"The rich also feel lonely. They are at the top of the resource chain and often lack empaths. They are expected role models, but it is difficult for them to openly express their vulnerabilities and confusion. The pain of ordinary people is ignored, while the pain of the rich is misunderstood. The happier a person seems, the more likely they are to be deprived of the right to express their pain by society!"

"On a philosophical level, when money is no longer the goal, people are prone to nihilism and begin to question, what is the meaning of my efforts? Is there anything else in my life besides money? This is existential anxiety about emptiness!"

“I’ve talked to several wealthy people, and they have indeed had this problem…and the problems of the second generation of rich kids are often even more serious!” Professor Dong said with a smile. “Of course, I haven’t reached that level yet. I’ve just lived a long time and have a broader perspective. I’m also struggling to make money now, but I’m still quite happy to be able to earn money!”

Hearing Professor Dong's candid words, Su Yang couldn't help but laugh: "That's true. Ordinary people have ordinary worries, and rich people have rich people's worries..."

"After satisfying their basic survival needs, humans instinctively seek meaning, but meaning cannot be bought with money..."

"What to do?"

Professor Dong asked curiously, "Does President Su have any hobbies or interests besides doing business?"

"Yes!" Su Yang nodded with a smile. "I like working out, cycling, swimming, playing tennis, and I also like playing some musical instruments!"

“That’s great, those are all excellent hobbies!” Professor Dong put down his teacup, smiled and nodded, then looked at the little life in Chen Li’s arms and said, “You can start by letting him learn about loving and being loved, and when he’s a little older, you can start cultivating his interests and hobbies, the ones he truly enjoys… The meaning of life doesn’t lie in some ultimate answer, but in how you engage with life itself, in the process of experiencing pain and joy, building emotional connections, and creating value!”

"Ok!"

Su Yang took these words to heart!
"You can find some inspiration in the family precepts of many modern families," Professor Dong said earnestly. "Many modern family precepts advocate that family members realize their own sense of value!"

"For example, the Gates family in the United States advocates not relying on wealth, actively expanding one's network, paying attention to the forefront of science and technology, and encouraging their children to realize their self-worth through innovation and hard work."

"For example, the Wallenberg family of Sweden has a family motto that emphasizes cultivating perseverance, an international perspective, and patriotism, stressing the realization of personal value through serving society, and passing on a frugal and low-key lifestyle."

"For example, the Qian family of Lin'an, Zhejiang Province, are known for their philanthropy, emphasis on morality and self-cultivation, and respect for education... These are things that President Su can take into consideration!"
