Of all the creations, man alone, supposedly the supreme of all creations, speaks the language of death. Man alone utters, believes and follows the language of death, which is I CAN’T. Research shows it is so because every human being, before he attains the age of 14, has been told by his parents, teachers, society and peer group about 1,48,000 times on an average, “YOU CAN’T”. His environment has hammered into him about 1,48,000 times that “HE CAN’T”

I've never made that connection or noticed it. Thank you.

The funny thing is that I often told my kids "don't do that" or "if you do that, XYZ might happen".

Telling them that they can't do something was a lie. Of course they can do it, it's just that you don't want them to do it. I've heard many parents tell their kids that they can't do something while the kid is literally doing it.

As a kid, someone telling me I couldn't do something was a sure fire way to get me to give it a crack.

Blessings
