This reminds me of some points in Stephen Covey's Seven Habits. If you foster attributes of primary greatness, such as kindness, and honesty... Then, your actions will reflect who you are, and you will more likely achieve the success you are looking for. Doing actions for the sake of social and economic success is far less effective than doing things that can result in social and econmic success because that's who you are. Therefore, we need to foster these attributes into ourselves AND our children, and not teach them that success is all that matters, what matters is building proper, and great character.
