For The So-called "motivation" And Only I Am Annoyed By Such Opinions

The Story

First I want to say that I do not intend to declare a point of view or opinion "wrong", I just want to state my opinion and see how you would comment on it. So ... I am provoked by a certain type of comments here and I am very curious what their authors think about what I will write. First are the opinions that being born into a poor family was actually good because it gave motivation. I grew up in such a family and I can speak from experience. That is why I do not agree with this statement: First, we are talking about children. A child cannot be expected to have the emotional / spiritual maturity that most adults do not have. For example, I was told in kindergarten that I was ugly, but in fact I looked like that to the children largely because of the bad clothes and hairstyle made by my mother, which cannot be cut. It was the same thing at school. Well, being a stone will still influence you for years to have so many people repeat to you every day that you are ugly, that you are repulsive, etc., at the same time that you are a child like them, and you think the same. Second, children, in order to develop well physically and intellectually, need quality food, peace of mind, good material conditions in the home and the opportunity to do different things. I have not had the opportunity to have different activities, hobbies, etc. Because it's all about money. For example, consumables for painting, other hobbies, cable TV, etc. Bad conditions, deprivation do not motivate, they make a person feel bad. On the contrary, it makes a person feel good, and when a person feels good, he is motivated and full of desire. You like to give an example of how many successful / famous people lived in poverty and that motivated them. Is not that. They were motivated by their talent. Talent does not choose whether the child will be born into a poor or rich family. But people with exceptional talent are rarely born. And if they come from a poor family, at some point their lives change because they start to gain from their talent. That's all, poverty has nothing to do with it. In fact, there is, and it is, that the same person, if he had grown up in better conditions, would have been even better and developed in what he does. Another type of comments - under topics of children who are mocked / bullied by their classmates, for example because they are "bison".

Write to them how one day they would be better than them, or that they would be their bosses. It's entirely possible, it's nice to say something like that to a child like that, but this can lead to disappointment one day. I was an outsider as a student because I didn't have nice clothes and an expensive phone and because I was supposed to be a jerk. I say "supposedly" because our people made me study with the idea that one day it would pay off. And I thought so and lived with that thought, it gave me confidence, I looked at my classmates and I thought how one day I would be fine. Well, it didn't happen that way. Many of those who were supposedly spoiled and unprepared for life, as well as those who, instead of going to class, hung out in cafes, found well-paid professions or occupations. That is, what they said was easy for someone during his school years - then it will be difficult for him and vice versa, it turned out that it is not a guarantee at all. You'll say I find hot water, but then I just stuck to it, that's what my self-esteem was based on, as you now write to children who share similar problems here. And I wonder how many of them will be disappointed one day. Because children can accept something so repeated and clichéd as "pure coin". I want to say again - I do not tell my experience in order to prove something, because based on my experience, too, no general summaries can be made. This is exactly what I want to say - that we should not draw general conclusions, I think it is too much lately, but to look at things more realistically, not with too much optimism. Some time ago I heard on TV a famous psychologist say "Great expectations - great disappointments". That's why these opinions irritate me. What do you think of everything I have written?
