在马上要到教堂做礼拜的匆忙时间祝贺老李教育子女有成。赞同子女专业必须平衡理想与现实如同老李所做。

孩子选择专业不能避免现实成分，特别是对穷人家的孩子。美国开国先贤约翰亚当斯的名言：

“I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.”
