"Listen to children and you will learn," you will probably agree with me. Children are creative, unbiased, sincere, playful, competitive, enchanting but also demanding and okay you probably know… But there is one habit that they do not loose for the rest of their lives. And this habit could become quite an issue later on.
It starts when they receive a gift, and the next day, they compare this gift at school with their classmates. "He that is nice, I want this also," is what you hear then. And the next time the kid already knows what he or she wants in advance; "THAT!"
In fact it is strange, we all want to be unique, but kids want all the same – "ME TOO!" And this "me-too" is harmless when these little humans are still young, but unfortunately they take this habit with them when they grow older. And the point is that on itself this wouldn’t be such an issue, but kids change when they grow older. And that is when things do not longer add up. You cannot change and still want the same as the others HAVE or DO. Because you are ... unique.
“Younique” is, by the way, an interesting trademark of a financial advisor – Imagine what this is about.
As a parent, when your kid is referring to his friend, show it the importance of being unique.
During any other day in your life and especially in business -- check for this -- ME TOO and wonder whether you are in fact still unique or just a copy of someone else...
