We all have that thought why do Chinese people actually make it in the business world. The reason apparently is that at an early age, their parents are conditioning the minds of their children to do business in the hopes that they will actually be heirs to their family business.
In your opinion, should we be teaching them the same or teaching them to be successful employees for the sake of climbing up the economic ladder?
We can teach our children both. Being employed makes us have a benchmark in how a business works and how its best practices can help us so that when we have our own business we already know the basics.
I'd rather teach my children to become a good business man rather than becoming a successful employee. Business men usually are the boss of them selves, employees have their bosses that is usually a problem since they need to follow them around.
Being a business man, you don't need to follow orders that much of an employer. Also, you are employed that means you can still be unemployed by that certain company. Owning your own business is better, I can also teach them to be a great entrepreneur.
