‘Parents are the most important teachers for their kids; Kids notice every little thing and learn the most from their parents’. 

Kids also learn things just by watching, listening to their parents, and imitating what they do. Rich people are well aware of it and use every chance to teach, memorize, and build a character that is best suited to live a rich and abundant life.

There’s an awesome book called “Outliers” by Malcolm Gladwell. Where he talks about the difference between the people who fail and succeed in anything. He talks about how rich people teach their kids something very different from what is taught in the middle class and poorer families.

“It’s just how to interact with authority?”

The middle classes and poorer people are taught to fear authority and its old age industrial revolution thinking. “You got to fear the guy who runs the factory because he owns your life”. Further to expand on this the author takes the example of the kids visiting the Dentist.

You’re taking your kid to the dentist, the middle-class family will teach the child that “the dentist is God, he has studied for 8 years and he knows everything there is to know”

“You as a kid must shut up, sit down, keep quiet, and even if it hurts don’t cry, just wait for it to be over, do whatever he tells you to do”.

Now rich people approach the exact same situation completely differently. Driving to the dentist’s office they tell the kid: “The dentist is your friend, he has studied for 8 years so that he can serve you properly”.

“The dentist is a resource, that you can use if you have any questions about your mouth, about your teeth, about anything you want to know there, you must ask the dentist because it’s his job to help you”.

Now take that kind of thinking and amplify it over the next 20 years which of those two kids is going to do well in life? ‘You got one who’s taught to fear the authority, shut up, keep your voice down, not to create nonsense’.

‘The other one who’s taught the world is there for you to utilize, It’s all resources you can use to your own and others’ benefit’.

“Imagine the difference that would make. So, learn to represent yourself and teach your kids to represent themselves”.
