For example, one child may have stronger musical intelligence and mathematical intelligence while another may have a stronger linguistic or interpersonal intelligence.

It can be painful to hear, but most kids are lazy because they have no area of competence, and therefore no confidence. And it can become a cycle:

They’re scared of failure, so they don’t try.

.

But when a child has a skill, he grows in confidence in himself.

This confidence is infectious and will spread to other areas of his life.

It will give him the courage to try hard in other areas where he is weak. .

Perhaps a child’s skills in baseball or science class compel him to try harder in math,

and if he doesn’t do as well there,

he still is confident because he knows he excels in the other areas. .

He feeds off that strength, and it gives him the intestinal fortitude — the guts — to give other life experiences his best shot.
