During their schooling years, we ask our children to find their natural talents and virtues. To find themselves. And the truth is, they don’t have any natural talents. It’s just whatever they spend 10,000 hours doing. So we don’t find ourselves, we maker ourselves, and asking children that question is actually destructive. It only forces them to be more introspective – self centered. When in fact, the world treats you far better if you try to master the art of satisfying the wants of others, rather than yourself. You only get to live your fantasy for having made the satisfaction of others come true. So Instead, we should ask our children what very obscure thing that they could imagine being really good at, and imagine enjoying, that others will pay them for.
