You’ve probably seen one of the viral clips from yesterday’s Shark Tank episode featuring a lineup of young entrepreneurs pitching their ideas to the sharks for funding and guidance. Among them, one project stole the spotlight and captured everyone’s attention.
In the episode, ‘Hawy’ was introduced as a clothing brand founded by three 12-year-old children who wowed the sharks with their presentation and secured offers from all of them. The project’s concept is admirable, but what truly captured the sharks was the ambition of these young entrepreneurs.
If this spotlighted anything, it’s the need to rethink the common perception of today’s younger generation as superficial in their thoughts and actions. Thinking about the perfect party outfit or jumping on the latest viral TikTok trend isn’t the only thing on this generation’s mind.
While this stereotype may hold in many cases, those three boys serve as a powerful reminder that it’s far from a universal truth.
What ultimately shapes these outcomes is how these generations are raised and how their capabilities are perceived and valued by their parents and surroundings. It’s not just about children discovering the world around them but about being free to learn and try without age-based limitations.
This freedom plays a crucial role in shaping how they grow and develop. Do you agree? Share with us your thoughts in the comments!
