This subject lies at the core of my belief in education. No matter how intelligent a person is academically the emotional aspect can distort results. I always try to develop children's emotional intelligence before concentrating on the academic. First step is to teach them to delay gratification. Powerful stuff! There lies the solution to much of society's ills. Good job, Kirk!
It has to do with conditioning, Kirkland. Most parents don't encourage their children to dare to do more than they can conceive. As a matter of fact most responsible adults settle for mediocre. It's a mentality that is festering and multiplying uncontrollably.
