“Now I think it’s one of the most useless questions an adult can ask a child - What do you want to be when you grow up? As if growing up is finite. As if at some point you become something and that’s the end.”
— Michelle Obama
Simplified Meaning:
Asking a child what they want to be when they're older is not a very good question because it suggests that once you grow up, you stop changing and learning.
