A video hit my FB feed this morning (no politics). Guy was ranting why Trump won and how the working class doesn't care about political games. How they only care about family and how they work their a$$ off so their kids don't have to struggle.
So I was wondering how ya'll (who have kids or are thinking about it) feel about a statement like that from an entrepreneur perspective. Do you work your a$$ off so your kids don't have to struggle?
Personally, I work my a$$ off so my family can have a better life. But not so my kids won't have to struggle or find their own way. I don't fight day and night just to hand them the keys to the kingdom or gold shrimp on a silver platter.
I want my family to have nice things and enjoy life. Definitely. But I want my kids to have a strong mind, strong values and be people of action, will, and fortitude. No guarantees they'll turn out that way, but if they don't, it won't be because they were handed everything without earning it.
