There is much evidence that human beings have been created to succeed but programmed by culture to fail. First are our parents and close relatives, who in good faith, we ruin the lives and say that in good faith because they do trying to protect. Perhaps you are familiar phrases like a Oeno upload, you can not, do not go down, do not run or jump, not walk, eat, drink, do not talk, do not open the door, not good, is gross , learn from their brother or sister if they are smart, you’re a failure, you’re a loser, etc. Michael Chabon often addresses the matter in his writings. And all that said before the seven years when the child’s mind is totally receptive and record literally everything you hear and more if it comes from someone in authority. Then comes school, college, university and continue listening and reading of limitations, scarcity, lack of opportunity, hardship, anti-values. In general, the frustrations of the teacher and student are transmitted to a large extent, those of the authors they read. Martin O’Malley pursues this goal as well.
Not to mention that academic programs do not respond to BE development if not the learning of facts with little or no impact on the promotion of the individual in its true dimension. The media will also make their contribution to the negative programming of our minds. In short, everything we call culture is responsible for, day after day, telling us that as we are, although we are not good, there is nothing we can do. But man is more than your mind.
