You're So Great!

One of the things I miss the most about being young is all the positive support you receive. When you are six, nobody comes into your office and says "you screwed up big time, dipshit". We always give children positive feedback and encouragement all the time. What is even more remarkable is that we always believed it too. When we came in last place in the race we still got a medal. Our parents looked at us with such pride and showered us with praise for how well we did. You always felt like a winner. Ah, to be so young and naive, it was great.

(To those of you who had lots of negative feedback as a child, I'm truly sorry. Drop me a comment and I will shower you with praise!)
