Teaching Long-Term Thinking Through Fun and Engagement

Speaker 2
What's your thought process? Not necessarily because I want to be an asshole. Maybe that too. But also because it's like that's what a person should ask themselves like what's my thought process why am i doing things like this because a lot of times people are just in autopilot mode yeah i'm gonna do this because it seems simple but then when you say what's your thought process they're like well actually this other thing might be better yeah so it's a very interesting approach i never thought about this in terms of of kids as well you know obviously i'm older i'm thinking about it already i'm like how much do i want in the family no not yet but soon probably you know and uh and that that's on my mind very much so and also what's on my mind is like how do i make the idea of entrepreneurship really attractive to a kid all right i know this is a little bit of a shorter episode we were both extremely short on time but just a quick little interlude if you like this podcast drop a like drop a five-star rating drop a comment whether you're listening to this on spotify itunes or watching it on youtube it will help me grow this wonderful podcast get more epic guests like cameron on and give more value for free so do that now thank you so much and now back to the podcast and there's this whole thing like the marshmallow test have you heard of the marshmallow test um yeah where they sit down the kid in a room and they say you can have this marshmallow now or you wait 10 minutes don't eat the marshmallow then you get two so things like that i think like the first thing that i would do with kids is teach them long-term thinking or the value of delayed gratification you mentioned that earlier how do you teach how
Speaker 1
do you teach like a five-year long-term thinking um
Speaker 2
number one i would make it fun they have to understand that just because he delayed the gratification doesn't mean there's no gratification and all the gratification. But you can give it – if you make the process fun. So for example, there's this great story of Will Smith. And I know Will Smith lately hasn't been like the coolest of guys. But his dad pulled him and his brother aside and he said, we're going to build, they had like a parking lot or something like that in front of their house. And like, we're going to build a brick wall here on the side. And we're going to lay it brick by brick together. And if you tell that a kid, like a five, six year old kid, like there's going to be a brick wall. All they'll see in their head is like thousands of bricks. Like no way we can build a fucking brick wall by hand. But then, you know, they lay one brick after the other. And after about a week or so, there's a brick wall. And when you do that in a fun manner, and you really teach them the value of hard work and enjoying the process. And you can teach them that truly if you do something consistently, you can actually build something that was not there before. We went from no brick wall to beautiful large brick wall. And then you know whatever. You can let them graffiti on it or something like that to really hook them on that i think something like that i mean there's probably a lot of parents listening to this now that i'm back see you what
Speaker 1
kind of key things do you think your parents did that influenced who you are today um
Speaker 2
my mom taught me a lot about everything you do is totally fine as long as it comes from the right from the right direction at heart so she's like look if you want to be an artist, go be a fucking artist.
