A Digest of Urban Survival Resources
“In individuals,
insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
― Friedrich Nietzsche
Why were people such as Helen Keller, Henry Ford,
Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein and others able to succeed despite disabilities
and a poor education?
Einstein was told
he was an idiot and failed at math as was Edison who became deaf in one ear
early on and he never finished school.
Ms. Keller suffered from being blind and deaf yet went on to become
extraordinarily successful.
These folks
didn’t have the advantage of our ‘modern’ educational system and all of the
smart tools at our disposal. So-called
deprived children today are given much more in terms of educational resources,
school meals and food stamps and other social necessities and yet, often remain
mired in poverty and crime.
For example, more
than 1,000 elementary aged children in Detroit’s inner city schools had laptop
computers donated to them. Within a year
most of them had mysteriously vanished [sold or stolen].
It doesn’t take a
village as Mrs. Clinton wrote. Helen
Keller didn’t have a village behind her [except to taunt her], she had Anne
Sullivan to guide and teach her.
Despite 100s of
government programs, too many of our young fail to reach their potential. [Under our current nonsensical society, the
USA would never have made it out of the Old West as just about anything related
to personal independence has been outlawed].
It is my opinion
government programs seldom steer children in the right direction. So what does work?
Most often, from
everything I read, a child succeeds because of a strong parent, teacher or
other mentor-type figure in their life.
People laugh today about how life was in the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s when
the norm was a two-parent family and kids finished school and they participated
in physical activities rather than sit in front of a TV, video game or computer
screen all day.
Parents back then
were more involved. The cost of
government and living the ‘good’ life created too many two-parent income
earners which has hurt our children and the nation. The government wrongly assumed too many ‘nanny
state’ roles and it has not worked well.
Challenge, mentor, lead or get involved with your
kid today!
