Families, when a child is born <br />Want it to be intelligent. <br />I, through intelligence, <br />Having wrecked my whole life, <br />Only hope the baby will prove <br />Ignorant and stupid. <br />Then he will crown a tranquil life <br />By becoming a Cabinet Minister.<br /><br />Su Tung-po<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-the-birth-of-his-son/
