“The greatest legacy one can
pass on to one's children and grandchildren is not money or other material
things accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.” —Billy
Graham
The children of the present
generation leverage the brands of their parents but most of them fail to carry
forward the legacy of their parents. They take their parents for granted when
they were alive but exploit the brands built by their parents. In fact, their
parents struggled, suffered, and worked hard to build their brands from scratch
but children rarely understand and empathize with their parents.
It the children are competent,
they will earn themselves and build their brands. If the children are
incompetent, they will ruin the wealth created and shared by their parents.
Hence, the present generation of parents must provide good education, character
to their children. Additionally, they must teach their children to face
challenges in life. It helps their children understand the peaks and valleys in
life, become empathetic, and successful in the long run.
I am against nepotism and favoritism.
I personally don’t encourage parents to share their brands and wealth with their
children. Parents must give freedom to their children to choose their careers
and lead their lives independently. It is the need of the hour in the rapidly
changing world.
“Your story is the greatest
legacy that you will leave to your friends. It’s the longest-lasting legacy you
will leave to your heirs.” —Steve Saint
