Kid to Father: I hate high school. It’s so hard, and they expect you to learn so many difficult things. I can’t wait til I’m out of high school.
Father to Kid: Oh yeah? Just wait until college. There they don’t even expect you to come to class, but they still expect you to learn things that are very difficult. Or graduate school. There they barely have the time to teach you anything at all, but they still expect you to learn things that are exceptionally hard. Or there’s the real world. There they expect you to already know how to do things that are extraordinarily difficult, and expect you to be good at them, and on top of that give you other things to do that keep you from doing them.
Kid to Basketball Coach: Teach me how to dribble this thing.
