I was sitting on the train next to a child reading "Where's Waldo".

He was painfully slow, taking a good 7-8 minutes to find Waldo.

This is where I come in. I started pointing out Waldo after 2-3 minutes on each page.

The mother yelled at me. "What are you doing?!"

I ignored her.

My interaction with her 8 year old child was none of her business.

The child started getting stressed with each new page. I was crushing him.

The mother was getting upset and crying.

I said wait.

Suddenly, on the last page, the kid found Waldo first.

His time? 90 seconds.

Pressure and competition from an unknown adult man is necessary for your children.

If you don't show people what success looks like, they will always seek failure.
