most of us taught our children that they can have anything they want - if they work hard for it - just as we did. for the most part - those kids learned the lesson well. however, when it has come down to teaching that next generation, something has been lost in the teaching of the lesson...

i notice too many children of 'grandchildren age' have forgotten the part about working hard - so now they just expect things to come their way. and some who would be old enuf to be the parents of those forgetful kids are too busy working one/two jobs to give the kids things because they cannot give the kids their time; thus, they give without teaching their kids to earn...

time slips away and before you know it we miss the oppty to share some of life's greatest lessons and values.
