My goal is to raise my son to be a great man. I guess I have lofty dreams for him but I would like him to have the finest education and take some degree of interest in the sciences, both theoretical and applied, interest in literature, of course in the arts, to learn at least 3 languages (actually he already has two so not at all unreasonable), learn to play at least one musical instrument, play at least one sport (skiing, soccer, swimming maybe), and take a great interest in the world around him. It sounds like a lot but he is already headed in this direction. My goodness you should have seen the duck that he painted today and the towers and bridges he builds with legos. He even built an elevator into one of them, and it works. Smart as a whip. And of course it isn't all at once but throughout his growning up. I want him to be kind and gentle, but know what he wants and go for it. I want him to have so much confidence in himself. And I would hope oneday he is a great man who will change the world in a positive way. But no matter what he does, I always love him the same. And it is my very strict policy to NEVER pressure him to do something or like it. I just gently introduce these things once and he takes over from there. Those things that he doesn't have interest in, I don't bother with anymore unless he asks to do them.
