German experts have made an unexpected discovery: millionaires grow out of naughty children!
Does your child constantly argue and try to do things his own way? Don’t be upset: he has every chance of growing up as a Rockefeller or Bill Gates.
This is the conclusion reached by experts from the Free University of Berlin. German scientists conducted a study in which 745 people took part, and its results were amazing: the more disobedient a child behaves, the more money he will earn when he grows up! And good-boys and good-girls, on the contrary, cannot later boast of large incomes.
“Violation of established rules and resistance to the authority of parents are excellent predictors of higher earnings,” the university staff stated.
The researchers put forward two versions to explain this pattern. First, disobedient children are not just stubborn, but persistent and often get their way when they have to ask for a raise or bargain with a client. Second: for such children, rules are not important, and in adult life they often go around them, in one case violating morality and the law, in the other – discovering something new.
So if next time your little rebel asks for a kilogram of sweets instead of a plate of porridge, do not rush to scold him. He will be sincerely surprised that they are worse.
