Ideals

We teach young people that they should get and education, get a good job, start saving, buy a car, buy a house. All important things.

But do we teach them that they should also have ideals? Ideals empower them to act in the world and act on the world. We should also teach them that ideals can be tested, assaulted and sometimes shattered. But in the end they will allow them to look back on a life of character.
