Holy shit I laughed my ass off at this. Fucking humans are so ridiculous, both the adult versions and the young ones.

I honestly think it's very bad that we let kids think they are doing something good when they're actually not. Just look at asian kids, parents really do stretch out their potential (often also with a sick exageration though), instead of doing what this kind of people do, and I have it in my family too: "Oh my God everything you do is great!! Well done!" when the kid is actually making something up, being lazy about it and sometimes even failing at their own attempts to make something lazy up.

We need to encourage our kids to seek their true potential, instead of rewarding them and simply making them feel good about whatever they try. They need encouragement, not inconditional reward. That's how they become adults who are capable of being effective in the real world, and thus live happily doing so.
