Awaken Your Child’s Financial Genius
"Everybody is a genius.But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."–Albert Einstein
Whenever I think about writing a new book I ask myself: Why am I writing this book?
For me, the answer has always been simple, and always the same. I have always wondered why money is not a subject taught in school. Day after day, our teachers drummed this into our heads:
"Go to school to get a job.
If you don’t go to school, you won’t get a good job."
Why Go to School?
This caused me to ask my teachers, "Isn’t the reason for getting a job to make money? If money is the objective for getting a job, why not get right to the point and just teach us about money?" My question was never answered.
The Emperor Has No Clothes
The Emperor’s New Clothes is a Danish fairy tale written by Hans Christian Andersen, published in 1837.
The Plot: Once upon a time, there lived an emperor who cared only about his clothes and about showing them off. One day two con men came to him and said that they could make him the finest suit of clothes from the most beautiful cloth. This cloth, they said, was very special. The cloth was invisible to the stupid and the low-born.
Being a bit nervous about whether he himself would be able to see the cloth the emperor first sent two of his trusted advisors to see this special material. There was, of course, no cloth at all, but neither would admit that they could not see it and so they praised it.
As word of this special cloth spread, all the townspeople were now interested to learn how stupid their neighbors were.
The emperor then allowed himself to be dressed by the con men in his special new suit, made of this special cloth, for the procession through town. Although he knew he was naked, he never admitted it for fear that he was too unfit and stupid to see that he was wearing nothing. He too was afraid that the townspeople would think that he was stupid.
Of course, all the townspeople wildly praised the magnificent clothes of the emperor, themselves afraid to admit that they could not see the clothes, until a small child said: "But he has nothing on!"
The child’s parents gasped and attempted to silence the child, but the child would not be silenced. As he twisted and turned, pulling his parents hands from his mouth, he continued to say, "The emperor is naked!" Soon, a few of his classmates were giggling and joined in."
After a while adults joined their children and began to whisper, "The kids are right! The old guy has nothing on. He’s a fool and he expects us to be foolish with him."
