"**Parenting is how culture gets transmitted to the next generation**. It’s your chance to pass on your core principles and values, and to use all of your wisdom and insight in order to improve someone else’s life. It’s also your chance to affect eternity. I’m reminded of one of my favorite quotes about the art of teaching: “**Teachers affect eternity; they can never tell where their influence stops**.” The same is true for parenting. You never know how your parenting will impact future generations." --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[parenting]], [[culture]], [[personal-values]], [[character]], [[momento-mori]], **Source** -- [[20250101093750 - B - How to Raise Successful People]]
