Donald “Trump” Duck, Goldilocks and the Three Bear Markets

More humor. This time from Fast Company magazine where Tom Stern wonders whether the over achievement of some adults has resulted in achievement obsession for their kids? From kindergarten to the boardroom considers whether we’re preparing our kids to take over the world far too early in their lives. It’s funny stuff but also provokes serious thinking. What do you think? Has the race for success killed childhood?

Stern also suggests these well known stories: Donald “Trump” Duck and Jack and the Penny Stock. Do you have any other suggestion?

August 2016 Update:

A picture of Donald Trump Duck riding the escalator in Trump Tower NYC to draw attention to Donald Ducks his Taxes Trump.
