“I’ve been on both sides of this problem: first, as a child; then later, as an adult with my own children. Do I encourage them to go down the path they’re best suited for, or push them to step out of their comfort zone? It’s hard to know which is more loving.”

The Lost Art of the Ideal and the Cycle of Futility
