Advice to your children

The best advice you can give to your child is:" Consult your heart a hundred times in thirty days about what you want to achieve in life: then follow what it says, and don't let it down." The best help you can lend your child is making sure he does not have to do something he would not enjoy doing over a long period. Muffled ambitions are as bad thwarted ambitions, and parents can do a lot to help their children in avoiding both. The trouble with most parents is that they want their children to help them achieve what they ( parents) want rather than helping children achieve what children want."
