“The ancient sages understood the importance of educating their offspring, knowing that the prosperity of a family hinged on the success of future generations. To shape the destiny of their children, parents must first lead by example.”

“To raise successful children, there are two critical ‘taboos’ to avoid:”
**1. Unethical, Dishonorable, and Disrespectful Behavior by Parents:**
“Treating elders, seniors, and relatives with disrespect sets a detrimental precedent for future generations. A well-known fable illustrates this point:”
*”In a family of three generations living under one roof, the elderly grandmother became immobile with age. Feeling burdened, the young couple devised a plan to carry her in a large bamboo basket up the mountain and push her over a cliff.*
*One night, they called their eldest son to join them in their plot. As they prepared to throw the basket down the mountain, the son spoke up: ‘Mother, Father, as you push Grandmother off the cliff, may I keep the basket? I will need it when you are old, so I can do the same.’ Startled by their son’s words, the couple immediately abandoned their plan.”*
“Children are mirrors of their parents’ behavior and character. If you are respectful and caring toward elders, your children will emulate this virtue. Conversely, if you are narrow-minded, calculating, and rude to older individuals, how can you expect your children to act differently?”
“Parents who embody moral virtue and kindness are more likely to raise children with a strong sense of right and wrong. Neglectful parenting, on the other hand, can lead children astray, as they may pursue selfish desires and make detrimental choices that harm themselves and others.”
**2. Disrespect for Teachers:**
“Aside from parents, teachers are the only other adults in this world who genuinely want us to succeed and achieve our life goals. The more successful and virtuous an individual becomes, the more they tend to value and respect their educators.”
“Conversely, those who fail to achieve greatness often lack gratitude and respect for the very people who helped shape their lives—their teachers.”
“For school-aged children, most of their waking hours are spent with teachers and classmates. If parents fail to respect their children’s educators—or even their own teachers—this attitude will inevitably rub off on their offspring.”
“As a result, these children may not receive the encouragement they need to thrive and are less likely to achieve greatness without this vital support system.”
“Positive traits in children are not innate but are cultivated over time through observation and emulation of their parents’ behavior. As the saying goes, ‘The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.’ No prestigious school can replace the influence of parental guidance, for parents are a child’s first teachers.”
