#BedtimeMusings

In all earnestness, M goes, “Mommy have you noticed to become great or famous either your parents must be poor or dead. With normal parents not much greatness is possible.
Like you know so many scientists in this book (our bedtime read currently is Women in Science: 50 Pioneers who changed the world) or like even characters in books - like Harry Potter”
It took me a couple of minutes to stop laughing and formulate an answer around how many a times extreme circumstances/ experiences inspire you or give you the much needed drive to excel as against having everything already available to you. I don’t think she got much of what I was trying to say and she was sleepy too. Another day perhaps.
