[quote=Anonymous]Instill gratitude, OP, the best you can. Yes, it takes a lot of hard work to move up in socio economic status. A lot. But it also takes a lot of luck. Not everyone gets that break. Not everyone stays lucky. Not everyone maintains their health, their brains, their choice of profession. Death happens. Disability. Crooked partners bleed the firm dry. Divorce. Crap a la Bernie Madoff. I liked this recent article about instilling gratitude. I had a bad habit of comparing, telling my son things like many kids don't have iPads at all in their house. So it's not a hardship that he has to ask to borrow mine when all his friends seem to have multiples. That doesn't do much good. Instead, focus on creating a family culture of giving to others. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-sack-md/gratitude_b_2277960.html[/quote]
