Thank you for the beautifully-written reminder of the value of adopting this mindset! I also enjoyed hearing about your daughters' reading adventures.
When it comes to introducing children and young people to classical music, I do NOT suggest what my Dad used to to - make our house shake to the foundations with opera at deafening volume to make my sister and I get out of our beds on weekend mornings! Though I did get my own back recently (at age 47 for me and 80 for Dad) when my parents came to stay, and my husband and I were up first in the morning, by putting techno on at a deafening volume. Dad saw the funny side!
I appreciated this Stoic perspective, Vitaliy, and your wise advice.
