昨天找到了这个网站：http://www.teachingkidsbusiness.com/business-basics.htm 

很好很强大，推荐给那些想给孩子一些经济学和商业知识的大人们。不过是全英文的，我暂时还没有功夫翻译整理哈。有空有闲将就着看，以后也许会陆续根据中国国情整理翻译一些。如果有谁对这个项目感兴趣，欢迎与我联系，这里有个小平台也许会有用。

在那个网站上看到一系列文章，帮助孩子寻找未来最适合的职业。其中一篇摘录如下。这篇文章放在中国，会引起怎样的反响呢？别说给中国家长看，就是我看，第一个反应就是：在咱们这样的和谐社会中探索自己最喜欢的职业，是个奢侈品。

不过后来回过神来。首先，如果这种”生活教育“在美国很普及，那这个social enterprise也不会有太多生存空间。不过这个需要去看看美国小孩的课本和上课内容才能确定。不过美国小孩自我探索的机会确实多一些———空闲时间多，加之社会和家庭的理念都更加注重认识自我。其次，中国各个人群之间差异化很大，这类东西会有用，但要找对观众才好。 

To start understanding  and developing career/business choices, you should take a look at yourself and begin to understand what makes sense for you. This process will help you discover what "your thing" is and how over time, you can develop a "business thing".  By working through our form, you will tackle a number of questions that will help you  find out what things you find enjoyable and are good at and hopefully, discover what you might want to work towards for your career.

"When you find your passion or your drive, it's like you're not doing it to be successful or to make some money.  You love all those additional things that happen.  But you're doing it because that's what you love.

It gets you up early and it keeps you up late.  You notice things.  You have an impact and you have a sense of contribution.  And life is really joyous."

Tony Robbins （motivational speaker, 就是美国版的陈安之）

TeachingKidsBusiness.com is developing many tools to help jumpstart you into thinking about your career and business opportunities. We believe that an important step you need to take in the coming years, is to discover and develop the things that you already enjoy doing, feel you are or can be good at and things you might like to learn to do.  

The "things"  we are talking about could be sports, arts, crafts or music at this stage, but could develop into other skills such as building things, fixing things, writing stories, making movies, looking after animals etc.  "Things" are something that you like to do.  "What's your thing" or "your thing" is something that stands out in your mind as an activity that you excel at, or want to do more than anything else.  We want to take "your thing" and help you develop a "business thing".  A "business thing" is similar to "your thing".  You enjoy doing it, you feel you can do it well and you can make a job or an important part of  a job out of it.  "What's your Business Thing™" Program will help you  develop/discover  "your thing" and over time, help you create a "business thing" that is enjoyable, you are good at and that you can make a career doing.    

It is important to understand that the choices you make now, may change later and that whatever is "your thing" now, may not be your "business thing". You will be very lucky if they are the same.  It's alright to change your mind later, as you begin to understand yourself better, develop your skills and recognize new opportunities. 

Most people don't know what they want to be at an early age because they haven't finished their education, which prepares them for a job, or they haven't been exposed to many choices to help them decide.  Even people who are working will change their mind and jobs a number of times over their career. They are constantly trying to find the career or business that makes sense to them. 

If you don't have a clue about what  "your thing" is now, it's ok! Just start thinking about it and it will come to you eventually.  This is not about making the right decision now, but about considering all of the options that are available and trying to choose from things you like to do, can do well and will make you the kind of money you want to make.  And please, don't stop doing things now because it's not  "your thing". The more things you try, the better.

  Have some fun and take your time because you don't have to figure it out right now.

The "What's your Business Thing™ Program" will help you begin a thinking process and hopefully, answer a number of questions. 

 Speaking of questions; try and answer the questions in the form below.  Print it off, think about it and try it again at some other time. This is your information and we are not keeping a copy of it or doing anything with it. We will add questions as more kids try this process and give us feedback.  When  you think of other questions or experiences, that help you discover "your thing",  please let us know!  

We have created a form to walk through a process to help you find "your thing". You can do it online or print it off and work a way at it.

Let's start the activity form for  "What's your Business Thing™ Program"
