Never teach a child to swim.
Teach him to dive. Once he has jumped in he will have to figure out how to get back to the side of the pool. Maybe with a little help the first few times. But if it isn’t a big deal to you, it will not be a big deal to him.
Set the goal high. The little things will tend to take care of themselves. And if one of the spin-offs happens to be what you wanted in the first place, so much the better.
Worthwhile Projects
Essays by Brian McMillin
“The worthwhile problems are the ones you can really solve or help solve, the ones you can really contribute something to.... No problem is too small or too trivial if we can really do something about it.”
― Richard Feynman
