TRAP SET BY MY PARENTS?

As a child, we always asked ourselves and our parents , “Why do we have to study so hard?”.

Standard answer received is “To get a better job and better pay.”.

There is a major problem with this standard answer. By replying so you have limited the child’s mind that in order to have more money, only path is to “work”. And also, you have laid the foundation of the “Rat Race”.

Imagine, parents have kept reminding the “Rat Race” to the child for 20 years, what do you think the child will behave when he grown up?

Naturally and automatically he would have fallen to the “Rat Race” trap.

It will take much effort and discipline to change that 20 year old mindset.

Harmless words yet huge impact. As parent, take good care of how you behave and communicate.
