From lying to the ability to switch allegiances, children are born with a formidable skill set
ave you ever wanted to go into politics? Well, I have good news for you. Anyone can be a politician because we’re all born with the innate skills to succeed in the field. The evidence for this is in our toddlers. We were all toddlers once and all toddlers are born with a similar skill set to politicians. Allow me to break it down:They’ll be eating the chocolate while telling you they’re not eating the chocolate.
Of course there are politicians who don’t display the behaviours outlined here. But how many politicians you know without at least some of these skills? This raises the question, are the rest of the politicians toddlers who never grew up? In the words of John F Kennedy: “You know nothing for sure ... except the fact that you know nothing for sure.”
