How to make sure your children fulfill their destiny

'You must be man of vision and not a man of television'

A man was adopted by a medical doctor and his wife. He went on to become a doctor but as a child he always loved the sky. He participated in skydives 365 times while he was in college. He later joined the army before returning to further his education. He never knew why he loved the sky until he met his biological father who had served in the air force.

The moral of the story is that you should be careful of what you do as a young man. It has a way of entering your gene whether good or bad. To make life more meaningful for your children, you must have a vision or be doing something very serious. Your past action creates a pattern for your children's future. It is so powerful that your presence is unnecessary. Maybe you love Dubai. That city is a vision of about 3 generations. Carefully passed down from one generation to the next. If you are not serious about your work and life, it will reflect in your children and this might waste your whole generation. They can only break it when they begin to learn from other sources. It is better when you consciously provide this education.

Jonathan Edwards was a great man but his seeds were far greater. Before he died he gathered his children and started speaking words to them. His descendants included 300 clergymen, missionaries, and theological professors; 120 college professors; 110 lawyers; over sixty physicians; over sixty authors of good books; 75 army and navy officers; thirty judges; fourteen university presidents; eighty holders of major public office; three U.S. senators; one chaplain of the U.S. Senate; one comptroller of the U.S. Treasury; and one vice president of the United States. Your word is not common as a parent. Sex is a means of production and word is a means of creation. Everybody is reproducing but few are creating. Be among the few.
