The reason why kids have a hard time in school is because their number one strength becomes their biggest problem in class. The kid that s got a ton of energy, if they were put in the right environment, would be a world-class athlete. The one that s always cracking jokes, could be the most famous comedian ever created on history of mankind. And yet the school system is designed to make us believe that the thing we re best at is actually our biggest weakness. And then we wonder why so many people walk around with massive amounts of self doubt when they grow up. It s the system, it s just not designed to amplify who you are.
