That's part of the process.
If you don't ever let your kids fail or struggle, none of these skills kind of come out.
So my wife, she went, she's a psychologist.
She went to Nepal to help women with female empowerment and resilience.
She calls me about three days into the trip.
She's like, these women need resilience training about as much as I need another handbag, which is to say, I don't.
And it's because they might not know the word, they might not have been taught it, but my God, they live it all day.
If they didn't have it, they wouldn't be here right now.
And then schools start to say, well, instead of actually forging resilience through interaction with other kids, and maybe there's bullying involved, maybe you become a bully at some point, we teach them about resilience.
We teach them about well-being without ever putting them in a situation where they have to actually experience it.
And so you're just left with these kind of stunted people.
Can I tell you, this is a story.
No one believes me when I say this, but it's very true.
Remember how, like, I haven't been to McDonald's in years.
Have you been there recently, perchance?
No.
You're not missing out.
They have kiosks now, so you can't order to a person.
You got to actually do a buttony thing.
I got no time for that.
