5 Critical Things I Will Teach My Son to Have a Life of Fulfillment
Essential Knowledge schools should also teach
I’d like to know all the things I know but being 15 years old.
That’s a typical quote most of us say, at least once in our lives.
It’s true.
If I knew all the things I know today and I’d be much younger (I was born in 1976), maybe my life would be better. Or maybe not. Nobody knows.
Anyway, if you’re a father or mother like me, and you’re having a teenager “in your hands”, there are many things you want to share with your son or daughter.
You don’t want him to make the same failures you did. You want to save him time, not doing the “stupid” things you did in the past.
- The point is human beings need experiences to learn from them. If you just use a theoretical frame, things won’t work.
- You need physical evidence to understand why you’re doing what you’re doing. That’s how our brains work.
- Finally, you have the environment. Our children’s is not the same as ours. That’s a variable to which you should also pay attention.
