A certain theme came up in my conversations this past year. At a certain age, over 50 let's say, does every generation think the world is in decline because people are stupid?
Recently, someone answered that by pointing out that certain generations actually did experience devastation as a result of stupid decisions, such as, the Roman Empire and the Great Depression.
Will my generation be another? Will yours?
How do we eliminate stupidity? Better education is usually the answer. However, I think better parenting is the key.
I heard a story on TV about a man who wrote a book and was quite successful. He was one of the Lost Boys of Sudan. He was asked how he could overcome the horror he experienced. He said he had a "joyful" childhood and he never forgot it.
I have heard the human brain compared to at tape recorder. The tapes we hear over and over in our childhood are the most powerful.
Want better service? Train a child.
Want better customers? Volunteer at a school.
Concerned about the world? Rescue a child.
