You should embrace suffering, not pain. If you're in pain it means something is wrong and you should stop, or you will hurt yourself and take longer to recover.

My perspective was Suffering causes pain, and there is a reason behind it, either you are weak to handle and take ownership so you want to run away from it.

Or either you are anxious and don't want something to let go of, embracing the pain is kind of accepting the situation and deciding to do something about it.

Progress = ( Pain / Suffering ) +_Reflection

Learnt from Ray Dalio, not my original thoughts.

This is a great list!

> - System Thinking (Understand Everyone is Playing a Game)

Any pointers on how to develop this in a kid?

I think games are the best way to depict this, on a higher level. Once your child can understand the concept of

Input -> System -> Output

Then you can show them example of modelling different activities happening around you.

What i have learned as my own is you need an underlying concept to model the systems.

For example : Elon musk use physics and break down everything based on first principle thinking, i resonate more with Input -> Compute -> Output.

So i try to break everything into such a model and then try to understand the processes..

Most of the things happening around us can be aligned to few principles...

Most of the social media is (Virtue Signaling, Rent Seekers, and Funnel)

You need to understand these things in order to identify them. So yeah you have to teach all the basic principles.

Economics (Just what is transaction and what encompasses an Economy) and little bit of Psychology and so and so.

Idea is that most of us are just machines with emotions (which are itself a product of hormones).
