Things that we try kids not to learn

(even though it can be very useful in some professions in the future)

To be Bullies.- As soon as they pass 18th the probabilities are that the military service, or any of the armed services, will take grasp of the juvenile. The training in how to overpower the enemy (or presumably innocent), won’t be as good as the practices acquired during the growing years with the weaker peers.

To Steal.-That looks bad at any age, but the bear truth is that many people do, you should get some schooling to learn how to do it legally, and have a very fructiferous career stealing, while using, other people money. Wall Street is considered the Mecca in that area. The computer is the encyclopedia of stealing; programs, updates and new gadgets are the tool of the trade. Now a days most entrepreneurs are becoming expert at that. Bankers and big business moguls need fast wording and methods, like magic cards handlers, so they do not cross the legal thin line traced by the rules and regulations of stealing. If you, accidentally, cross to the illegal side, then the need of the other profession that parents have been handicapping us for centuries come into sight…

To be Liars.- When we were kids, most parents, not involved in the typical liars professions of course, warn us not to lie. After High School graduation the familiar standards change like magic. What was a bad attitude became a wonderful career. To be a good lawyer, or a good politician, (or a 007 agent, they are basically the same stuff) is a very reputable position. That reputation, in some ways, make up for the trauma that we got as children trying to give a logical explanation for a broken window, a possum in the room or the lost of virginity. All of a sudden the familiar consent looks to change when we make a good living out of lies. The expression: “My uncle is a lawyer” or “my nephew is a senator”, make the nickname “Pinocchio” given to any deceiver in school, to pale.

In Resume.-No matter the euphemism that we use to explain situations to our kids. No matter how many “experts” be paid in the media, none of they will go to the root of that problem (otherwise they will not be paid to lie) the whole charade is reduced to a simple lacking; the lack of morals and principles in our society when money is involved. If a businessperson, a lawyer (or any profession for that matter), tries to do the right thing all the time; the absence of false statements or false impressions will convey, accordingly, an absence of economic retribution at large.
