RE: Mini Motivation #57 - Are you pursuing a certification, or an education?
@maverickfoo, there is no good or bad conversation, but I bet he would start thinking differently from now onwards. I guess kids always have a misperception that having a laptop will make them money (my son think that too), which I love having such conversation to guide him to the right mindset.
Haha, if having a laptop makes me money automatically, I would be sleeping on them everyday! Or better yet, keep them in the bank and see how my bank balance grow!
Jokes aside, I think kids need to know the difference between tools and skills. In the absense of tools, your skills can still keep you afloat. But without skills, all the tools in the world ain't gonna help.
@maverickfoo, couldn't agree more on that. Tools are more like accelerator to help them boost the speed once they had mastered the skills. It is the strong fundamental that need to be built when young so they know and learn how to handle the tough situation when they grow up.
