(This is the modified translation from a Chinese article. I was unable to find the author’s name.)
In an interview, a female teacher told the reporter her secret about how to teach children successfully:
Don’t expect others to have the same view as you!
Then, she told the reporter a story that illustrated her point:
More than ten years ago, her little daughter was in kindergarten. One day, her daughter brought home a painting to show her.
At the time, the teacher was stunned. Children are always full of imagination, as shown in this painting. However, there are no tall buildings in “Shopping with Mom” (the title of the painting). There is no heavy traffic and no dazzling collection of goods. There are just countless adults’ legs…
Strange!
She thought about her daughter’s painting for a long time and finally realized the secret behind its composition. It turns out that young children’s heads can only reach the height of adults’ waists. When kindergarteners walk down the street, the taller adults block their view. What else can children see besides adults’ legs?
It’s important to remember that perspectives are diverse and can be influenced by a variety of factors such as age, intelligence, and knowledge. This diversity should be embraced, as it enriches our understanding and allows for more comprehensive problem-solving.
The company’s employees only pay attention to their salaries and advancement. Rather than the overall operation and future development of the company
Not every child can see society from the same lens as adults; not every student has the same receptive and cognitive ability as the teacher. Nor can every employee stand in the same position as the CEO
to look, analyze, and solve problems.
Remember, just because you see things a certain way doesn’t mean others will share your viewpoint. It’s crucial to approach others with kindness and understanding. Before jumping to conclusions, try to put yourself in their shoes. This empathetic approach can foster better communication and relationships.
Try different angles to “see the world.”

不要指望別人和你站在同樣的高度！
在一次採訪中，女教師向記者透露了她教學與教子的秘訣：
不要指望別人都和你的見識一樣！
接著，她向記者講述了這樣一個故事：
十多年以前，她的小女兒正在上幼兒園。
有一天，她看到了女兒的一張繪畫作品。
當時，她一下子就愣住了。孩子總是充滿了想像，
孩子的世界也應該是一個充滿了想像的世界。可是，在她女兒的一幅名為《陪媽媽逛街》的畫中，既沒有高樓大廈，
也沒有車水馬龍，更沒有琳瑯滿目的商品，
有的只是數不清的大人們的腿……
奇怪！
她拿著女兒的畫沉思了很久，終於解開了疑惑。原來，幼小的孩子只有幾歲，
身高只能達到大人的腰部，走在大街上，川流不息的人群將孩子遮掩著，
孩子除了能看到大人們的腿，還能看到什麼呢？
不同的角度，看見不一樣的景象，女教師如夢初醒。
是啊，孩子們上街看到的，不是高樓大廈和車水馬龍，
而是大人們的腿，這是他們的身高決定的；學生對很多問題疑惑不解，這是由他們的年齡、智力 和見識決定的，
企業的員工看到的，只是自己的工資待遇和發展前途，
而不是公司的整體運行和未來發展，這是由他們所處的位置和環境決定的……
並不是每個孩子，都能和大人有相同的視角來看待社會；
並不是每個學生，都能和老師一樣有相同的接受能力和認知能力；
並不是每個員工，都能和總裁一樣站在公司的全局，
看待問題、分析問題和處理問題……
以平和的心態，善待他人的高度。
女教師說，不要埋怨別人無知，
不要指望別人和你站在同樣的高度。
其實，一個人所處的高度，決定了他的見識。
與其埋怨別人，不如用一種親近的態度和平和的心態，
去和別人交流、溝通、兼融……
這樣，你就可以做一個好家長、好教師、好經理，甚至是好總統。
善待別人的高度，不要指望別人和你的見識一樣。
教子、教學、為人處世、管理一方，其實就是這麼簡單。
世上本沒有對錯，看問題的角度不同，答案不同而已，
我們應該學會常常用別人的角度看世界，
多一分寬容，多一分理解，多一分求同存異。
多體會不同的高度「想事情」
多嘗試不同的角度「看世界」
