Today I'm going to tell you a story about two stores where they sell candy. The candies in both shops cost the same, but the children like one and dislike the other. Why? Because in one of the shops the child says: "I want 300 grams of candy," and the salesperson first puts a lot of candy on the scale, say 500 grams, and then "takes" from the candy until it is 300. And the child watches as the candy gets smaller and smaller. And in the other, favorite store, the salesperson puts a little on the scale, 100 grams, and then adds and adds. Up to three hundred. And the children like to watch their candy being added, not taken away. And so they go where they don't take away! That's the trick. And it doesn't matter that they're both there - 300 grams of candy. Whatever you do in life, "add," not "take away."
