Japans cultivate this through their entire culture - starting from young children. We, the Westerns, are already at least 2 decades behind, sometimes even 4-5 decades ...


I liked an NPR article about how Mayans let their young do chores whilst young, when in contrast we tell them to go away and hand them an iPad.
