The traits I am most trying to develop in my kids are as follows;
1. Independent mindset: I want them to move out and want to move out post H/S. The home should be safe but never made "too comfortable" for them. There will be no 30 years olds living in my basement, hell there will be no 20 year olds doing so either.
2. Work ethic and grit: These traits alone will seperate you from 90%+ of your competition in the corporate world.
3. Be an explorer: Take on risk via being willing to take on new and difficult challenges. Get temporarily uncomfortable to find out how far you can stretch yourself.
4. Establish Roots and make things better: When you decided to settle into a community be an active participant in it. Volunteer, be active, make the world around you better and if you have kids make sure they see you doing as much so they can learn those same values. Leave your mark and leave it better than when you found it.
