what we need to do is to train our children to be tough and to accept reality.

attractiveness and social charm are real things; I spent too much of my own life raging at companies that hired people due to a "comfortable feeling" rather than on the best qualified for the job.

it was a waste of time.

we need to train our kids to be tough and to let rejection and pain slide off their backs so they can focus on the attributes they have that will let them be successful.
