There's the whole interview. personally i'd be pissed royally if my dad did this to me. i'd never forgive him.

wouldn't you?

He wants to help his children succeed without making them into self-important trust fund kids. He's helping them with their education and health care but still wants them to make something out of themselves. I don't see the reason for your indignation.

Yep. $10 million is way too much money to start them out with. They wouldn't have a chance to build any character.

Id do the same thing. You gotta remember this guy built his wealth. He probably knows what its like to eat top ramen 7 days a week. He just wants the same for his kids.

'making something out of themselves" is a flawed concept. It doesn't even make sense when you think about it..your already "made" your personality is set by the time your 5 yrs old. What does working for a living have to do with "making something of yourself?" Working for a living is just that..working for your living. Has nothing to do with "making a person".

What he's doing is taking their lottery ticket one that they deserve as their birthright forcing them to waste their time in making a living. If you don't have to work to put food on the table or a roof over your house due to great fortune of your parent, relative or the lucky lottery win why should you? Are you a better person by virtue of puttting your time in at work as opposed to basking in the sunlight on a yahct visiting exoctic ports of call?

Being a good person has nothing to do with working for a living.

If they can't make a really good living for the rest of their lives with $10 million, they don't deserve the money in the 1st place.

I'd say dad give me a 100 mil. that's the club i want to be a member of. gates could peel that off no problem. 10 mil is chump change. making a chump out of his kids. it's embarrasing

why 10 mil? why not $1? reallly "make something out of them!" lol

your already "made" your personality is set by the time your 5 yrs old.

Psychology has moved far away from the psycho-dynamic perspective with maybe a handful of Psy.d programs offering a concentration in psycho-analysis; and aside from a small number of neo-Freudians, few modern psychologists subscribe to the concept that the personality is fully formed by five years of age.

But so I'm not just giving an appeal to authority here, I suggest you dive into the scholarly personality literature. Then when you're done with that, there is a huge body of literature in developmental psychology. Then after that, you may want to read up on psychometric testing and get a good understanding of construct and criterion validity in personality assessment (you'll have a lot of fun dealing with construct validity and the definition of personality being a relatively static construct or something more amorphous that isn't quantifiable). Then to get a better understanding, there are a number of conferences you may want to hit up. Then after that, you may want to start looking into the sociology literature and see what symbolic-interactionists and micro social theorists such as Goffman and Simmel had to say about personaltiy. And while you're at it, you might as well read some philosophy and see what people like Sartre had to say about personality.

Then after all of that, if you still believe that the personality is fully formed by five years of age, more power to ya.
