RE: Let's talk about “who inspired me to instruct myself.
For long advertisers used children to sell but these days are over since decennial at least where I live. My children could never manipulate me to buy anything. It's my believe that it makes way happier to work and saver for something yourself.
It's impossible to always make a child, any person happy. and even with you wouldn't notice happiness any longer, since this feeling is a permanent state, which shows in many younger than me.
@almaguer asked lately how come people in a world where everything is available are without skills, don't create and above all (I added this) bored.
BTW, most commercials I don't like. The focus is on buying, adding more waste, and I can't rhyme that with the "fight" against pollution, C02 and the rest of the nonsense parents preach.
As a parents, we should learn children how to deal with disappointments in a positive way, a NO, not being able to get everything you lay your eyes on. This is the main problem people have.
It is difficult for human beings to get bored. The life of a millionaire must be hard. Unless their aspirations are intangible, such as going to Mars or descending into the Mariana Trench. I don't know, ordinary people have more tangible aspirations, which keep you busy and developing. If you already have almost all your desires fulfilled, you start to get bored.
Motivation is the fuel of personal development. I would say that good artists have almost all been poor for most of their lives, which is good creative fuel. The opposite would be to have all the tools available to create. And then I wonder. Does creativity decline? Does access to everything make you want to lie on the couch and watch life go by?
I agree that if one has everything you get bored (you as in the wealthy not you as in you and me LOL).
There are plenty of films where the bored wealthy set bets on the poor idiots or provoke wars just out of fun.
The poor has no time to break their brains about something like that. It's more about how to get some food on the table and pay the next bill, the on on the top.
I wonder if marketing will have a long life. It's no part of Gates' plans for the new world order same for the nasty new head of the WEF who finds free water for the people (he is for sure not included) already a luxury.
That's precisely the point, parents decide when to say NO, it's never good to give everything to their children, we who work in this sector look for clients, if there are no sales there is no profitability.
The products go to market, the consumers decide, we CANNOT influence this, we only try to make the products be accepted.
You make me laugh when you say that your child wouldn't make you buy anything for him, DO NOT tell me that, I have seen a tender look from a child to his parents, they DO NOT have to ask for anything, children are innocent and ignorant, something that adults DO NOT have, it is NOT easy to refuse a look like that
You have a lot to learn about the "innocence" of children. And no, my children never made me buy anything. They also know the value of money and it can only be spent once but hey my children are for sure from a different generation. By now children buy themselves, get into debt and let their parents pay for it.
Trust me that look is easy to ignore. Parents who get into debts to give their children everything who then throw it with a spoiled face into a corner are idiots. The same idiots we see in the US, spending a fortune on Christmas presents, always feeling miserable and never satisfied. And that should be a sign of love?
You make me laugh, but you're right, some parents give everything to their children, a big mistake, have you noticed how children treat their parents, it seems like they are going to hit them, and the parents respond with such delicacy, if I had children what I would do is : I would give them three hard slaps on the bottom, if they like it that way they can stay home, if NOT they can go.
I saw these children. There was a time that it was said that children should never be punished always talking...
The 2-3 year old slammed the mother with the lids of a pans on her head (she sat on the floor molested and didn't act, tried to talk because she read it in some stupid magazine).
Not hard to imagine where this leads to. Children like adults need boundaries. If not they will never stop.
I doubt a child would act this way with you. I know they never did with me. Children are not the same, you can't raise them in the same way.
The modern way of raising is not raising at all. I cannot say I saw the the ability of talking, having a good discussion increase during the past 30 years.
♥️🍀
I agree with you, setting boundaries is the foundation of discipline, something fundamental in any relationship.
