Who do you hope your grandchildren, use for their role models?
You would be surprised at how many young people are disgusted with the two you mention. I spend my days with 140 teenagers and they are more influenced by their parents and grandparents than anyone else.
On that note, I just lost my father last week and had an uplifting epiphany during my time with my family. All his grandchildren inherited one single trait from him and that was his work ethic. They saw this man work every day under all circumstances. It was comforting knowing that he had such a tremendous effect on his eleven grandchildren who are in turn, passing that legacy on to the next generation.
So, a brief way of answering your question would be.......Us.
