Can you name something that falls into this category? The best in every field achieve fame/notoriety to some extent. From MVP athletes to Grammy winning musicians to Nobel Prize winning scientist to best-selling authors. Different types and levels of course. And saying I'd like to set my kids up to be Olympians or Tony winners or the next Michelangelo doesn't mean I EXPECT that of them, it means I'm like every parent who wants their child to achieve their best. If they happen to be good enough to take that talent to the next level, I want to help them nurture it. I would hate for them to find something they love and are good at when they're too old to just be starting out and be competitive. Most of the time when someone does achieve "the next level", you hear stories of how they've been at it since they were 3.
If they grow up and decide they want to be teachers or lawyers or carpenters or stay-at-home parents, that's perfectly fine, and I didn't mean to sound like I was implying otherwise. I just want to give them the opportunities they deserve.
