I tell my 16 year old daughter that I want her to think, that she doesn't have to think the same as me but she needs to think for herself and not just be a parrot for others. To seed the process I've asked her "Why do you suppose that people who are middle class go to congress, which pays a decent salary but nothing outlandish, all end up really rich after a few years? Where do these public servants get all the money?"

Pointing stuff like that out and letting her think on it has been working well.

If it seems too good to be true, it is.

The world doesn't owe you a living

THINK FOR YOURSELF....DON'T JUST FOLLOW THE CROWD.
