Children need to avoid the ignoramuses in their lives. In addition, parents need to teach children how to avoid the crab bucket syndrome as much as they can. Crabs, when they are placed in a bucket, will prevent other crabs from jumping out of the bucket. Some kids do not want you to achieve your dreams because they have not learned to activate their own Achievement Mechanism. They are happy with their lot in the crab bucket.
You do not want to be any of these things. You want people to call you “Doctor” when they address you. Or you may want to have them address you as Honorable or Madame Secretary. You may even want to have various letters next to you name, such as Esq., or MBA or Ph.D. You do not want to refer to downtown Manhattan as the “City”. You want to leave the crab buckets of suburbia. You want to go to best university in America; New York University.
