Thanks for reading the review and this awesome comment!
I think laziness is a huge factor with a lot of people. I've worked in upper management positions and it really is incredible how you have to spoon feed things to the average person. My boss would always tell me, "Write it out like you're trying to explain it to a 6 year old" 🤣
He had a point though, and it did help. Video always helps too. I personally find myself looking to Youtube for DIY stuff before reading how to do it. It's just easier IHMO. It's also very lazy on my part 😄
I realize the best you can do for children is to teach them to read, teach them some math (especially how to care for their finances), show them how to learn on their own, and to keep the love of learning. They will be set for life if they find their passion and learn what they need so they can excel.
This is so true! Instead of being indoctrinated into a system, we should be encouraged to find our passion at a young age and then taught to pursue it! So many people, would be so much happier in their future years!
Hope you get a chance to read the book, I think you'd enjoy it!
No, thank you for posting the review! It makes complete sense when it reminded me of how people are. I really think this is a more recent thing, since when I was growing up, you didn't see as much laziness and lack of understanding you do now. But I see it getting worse every year. Maybe that's what "education" has done for us - it taught us the wrong thing. Learning (self-learning, especially) is better. Yes, a good teacher can help, but unless you apply yourself, you'll just spit out what someone said to you.
