#MyEarlyMorningThoughts: Teach Others In A Way That Allows Future Success

We can teach people, especially children, to fail by setting expectations lower than society will require them to succeed. You see, we can be "SMART" (high ability to acquire knowledge) yet lack INTELLIGENCE (the ability to apply knowledge to be successful or adapt in an environment). We see it all the time in "spoiled" or "extra loved" children, like my youngest (lol). They know the material or are fully capable of learning it, but don't have the skills (behaviors) required to sit down alone to learn or complete the work. Our goal should always be to implement strategies that will allow others to be successful past our presence or environment and not just in it. Because if that's the case then we are being self-serving and not OF SERVICE TO OTHERS. In order to do this we must lay down our own perspectives, biases, stereotypes, and views.  

Example: If a friend were lacking finances and did not have a job, your long-term solution would not be to pay her bills. The logical solution would be to aid the friend in finding an adequate job (resources) that also pays enough to cover her bills (not a job that only pays half her bills and you pay the rest).

"So often our solution is to offer leniency and grace in situations that offering resources and more training would yield our desired outcomes that can be utilized in the future"  -Frankie-

Much like this, we teach people to fail by applying the wrong solutions to the problem. We ultimately handicap people we really want to be successful by setting the bar low. Set the bar high (at or above societal standards) utilizing strategies that they will have to use to make it in the future and offer the correct maximum supports to reach that goal. 


"You will hardly ever see anyone pacified into success." -Frankie-
