Errol Musk emphasized the task of parents when a child grows up
The task of parents is to preserve the child's faith in their own abilities. This was announced on August 11 by American businessman, father of entrepreneur Elon Musk, Errol Musk, in an interview with Izvestia.
"I think every child is born a visionary. Parents and school can make him lose his vision, but he is born a visionary. With my own children, I have discovered that it is not necessary to explain to a four—year-old child that there is a Jesus in the Christian world, because he is able to understand almost immediately: there is a God who cares and watches over us," he said.
According to Musk, the task of adults lies in helping a child grow up and maintain the ability to dream and strive to achieve high goals. He also stressed that he is currently working on the creation of a center for the study of gravity, despite the skepticism of the scientific community.
"There are not many people with vision: Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison. But they appear. For example, the Wright brothers created the first airplane, and so on. Therefore, it is important to raise children with the idea that they can do something, and not that it is impossible," said the businessman.
In addition, Musk added that fantasy books and movies point in the right direction, stimulating imagination and expanding thinking. According to him, Isaac Asimov, who wrote some of the most profound books about the future, raised the reader's imagination to the most unusual levels of thinking with his texts.
"And that's what you need. You need people who will think not only about what we do every day," Musk stressed.
On May 19, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed an order on the establishment of an interdepartmental working group on the education of children and youth. His tasks included coordinating the activities of federal authorities in the field of child and youth education, developing a unified educational space, and developing and supporting projects aimed at educating and promoting traditional Russian spiritual and moral values among children and youth.
