I'm a father now. I grew up in a poor family in the South Florida ghettos. Having "drive/ambition" came very naturally. I hated the environment and people that I had to be around. But I made something of myself and am financially decent. My child will be able to attend private school and my wife will be able to support them in extra curricular activities like sports. The only thing I worry about, is my children's ambition/drive. Mine came from necessity, where will theirs come from? How do I get them to want more for themselves from a financial standpoint? Everything I've built, I'd like to leave it for them. But I need to know they won't squander it and fuck it up.
>>62626618Be involved in their lives and don’t give them whatever they want. It will take more than putting them in a good school for them to be successful. Ultimately it will depend on the type of person they are. Lots of people grow up in the ghetto and they have no drive to better themselves.
>>62626618Have them take a few OCEAN BIG 5 tests.
>>62626618Motivation? You grew up poor and hated the material world and you set out to conquer it. You're honest but hardly seem like the generous type. Also, it's only in this case that you seem to be honest with your wants. Why don't you tell us why you are worried?
>>62626652I'm worried because I would like to recreate my drive in them. If they had it, I know they would use the resources they have to their fullest ability. They would take our family and entrench it into the upper class for the next few generations.
>>62626618you have to train them to work for what they want, dont hand it to them.
>>62626618they will never have your drive and they will squander your wealth like most generations who inherited money they had no business having.>Statistically, 70% of wealthy families lose their wealth by the second generation, and 90% lose it by the third generation.yes I understand you are that one single anomaly and you will make sure your children will be different blahblah.
Your standards are too high. Just be glad if you're kids don't end up wiggers with teenage pregnancies.Why do you want your kids to struggle and associate with the rabble? Let the goyim deal with the real world.
>>62626742I have trained my cat as well. Although, I wouldn't show just anyone the ques for it because they might break the spell by fucking it up.
>>62626725Then do it. Don't feed them, send them to school in dirty clothes. Start drinking or doing drugs around them and hit them. Verbally abuse them. Do to them what you had and worse, because that will actually make them turn out to be President. What if they achieve anything less? Then you're an utter failure.Hope this helps.
>>62626725I mean, did the journey teach you to control the material or did it control you. Also, the changes you made on your way up matter. The touchstones you created are for teaching while being raised. >>62626784This is a deeper issue. One that I have vicarious experience with. Helping these types without taking advantage, leaving them more vulnerable, or destroying them ; is a challenge. Hardship can be taught through competition. If the competition is unfair, it will teach other lessons.
>>62626618Wtf is wrong with you?Just buy them everything they want. Fucking retard.
>>62626821This isn't r/NewParents toots. You're fuckin stupid.
>>62626855No, but it is the topic of conversation. Would you prefer to talk about money and women? The praying mantis eats the head off their mates. The social hierarchy of hyenas places the the status of the top male behind the bottom female. Spiders eat their mates for additional nutrition. Monogamy within the animal kingdom is somewhat rare among species. Wolves, for example: the alphas are monogamous but their the only ones that mate. Monkeys are highly polyamorous but they're extremely violent. There's only a few animals that I would want to be like.What kind of creature does that make you?
>>62626618Wait a bit anon. I'm not too worried, got three now, all boys. The oldest is 5 and the middle one that's only 3 both already have plenty of drive and ambition. My biggest concern is really just their sensitive young man period, which the oldest at least is almost certainly going to go through. I will be much more proactive than my father was in explaining things about girls and helping him through the tfwnogf period.
