Raise kids to be good people first. Success will come (or not) later.

Prove it

What an excellent talk! An eye opener for everyone. I think though that most people are blessed with this entrepreneur skill but the reason why many a times, the 'school drop outs' (lack of better worlds) seem to figure it out is because they get out to the real world and start thinking how to earn money since they do not have much skills to be employed. As a result, they come up with great ideas and become successful entrepreneurs!

A+, I love it. My 2.5 year old son and my wife had a conversation the other day.
"Mommy, I want a Bulgy" (A bus from the Tomas the Tank Engine series)
"Sorry Cael, not right now."
"You buy me a bulgy?"
"No Cael, Mommy does not have the money."
"Oh, Cael sell cupcakes?" This is him asking to go to a festival, set up a station and sell cupcakes that he helped to make and decorate. Which would be the way he bought his last 3 engines.

I always did great in school but I always hated it, because it wasn't what I wanted to learn it wasn't about solving problems taking charge creating new ideas, it was about learning old ideas and then showing the teacher that you remember those old ideas. My son is very bright but hates school too, school has to incorporates new ways of teaching, I love what this man says about fostering independance in our children, my son loved this video.
