My son, Jayden, is growing up in a world of abundance—and that’s a blessing. But it also means helping him understand the value of gratitude and the dangers of greed.
In this video, I share the 4 Chinese idioms my parents taught me to remind me that Greed is Bad! (不要贪). These timeless Mandarin phrases are more than just language—they're parenting tools, moral lessons, and psychological insights all wrapped into memorable stories.
Learn and practice:
1. 貪心不足,蛇吞象 – Greed without limits will destroy you
2. 得寸進尺 – Take more than you're given? You'll lose goodwill.
3. 貪多嚼不爛 – Biting off too much ruins everything.
4. 吃著碗裡,看著鍋裡 – Craving more makes you forget what you have.
Let’s help the next generation build character through language, culture, and curiosity.
