Quotes

“What a child does not receive, he can seldom later give.”
–P. D. James

I would add “with the exception of money and other material possessions.” After all, part of the American dream for many, is to be off better financially when compared to their parents. There are countless examples of people who have risen above their penniless childhood to become rich.

One common thread among an overwhelming majority of the rags-to-riches people is that there was someone in their life who played an exceptional role in their upbringing despite their unfortunate circumstances. These role models provided that “special something” that the individual had never experienced. This, in turn, enabled the child to recognize their full potential and rise above their circumstances.

What can you give to a child that will enable them to give back?
