In life, we often get caught up in the moment. Sometimes we forget that our actions are largely driven by our thoughts. One of the most powerful ways to remind yourself of this is to focus on the “little things”. For instance, we don’t have to be “perfect”. We can be happy, proud, and a little silly at the same time.
This sort of mindset can help you think clearly about how you should act, what you should do, and how you ought to feel. It can even help you learn to be happy, which is something I know a lot of us can struggle with.
You can be an asshole, a little self-centered, and a little shit-head. You can be a little shithead too. You can learn how to be a little shithead too.
This concept is something I’ve been thinking about recently, so I’m glad it’s a question that’s being asked by people who are interested in this stuff. People who ask me this question are usually really curious about the topic and want to know what I’d say if I ever got a chance to answer it.
Many people learn how to be a little shithead from the way they were raised. As a kid you learn how to be an asshole because no one will let you be an asshole. As adults you learn how to be a little shithead because youre so smart, so smart.
The problem with this approach is that it doesn’t prepare us for the fact that we are adults. As a child we learn how to be a little shithead because no one will let us be an asshole, but as an adult we learn how to be a little shithead because were so smart, so smart.
I agree. The only way that our children are prepared for adulthood is if they learn how to be little shitheads. We can help them do this by teaching them little shithead-ery from the way they were raised. If we do that, we can create an environment that is ripe for their growth. We can create an environment where they learn how to be little shitheads because theyre so smart, so smart.
Kids need to be taught little shitheadery. They don’t need to be taught how to be stupid and cocky, because if they’re smart, they’ll never be stupid and cocky. They’ll always be smart, which means they need to learn how to be little shitheads, and they can help by creating an environment that is ripe for their growth.
Now, I’m not talking about a “carpe diem” education here. I’m talking about the kind of “educational” education where kids learn how to behave and act in a way that maximizes their chances of being taken as a serious threat by a rival gang. It’s a little like how you tell a kid that “if you do that, you might get cut.
Sure, a carpe diem education would teach kids how to run away from a rival gang. But it might also teach them how to shoot and to be an asshole. A good carpe diem education is also a good carpe diem education.
