[QUOTE="RebelBOK, post: 7180032, member: 38657"] What's your definition of success? A high paying job? Wealth? If yes then most would argue the whole point of striving for a high paying job or accumulating wealth is to enjoy the finer things in life such as nights out, holidays, expensive cars etc... Where will your cycle end? Are you hoping that your young fella will be so successful in terms of wealth that he will be able to afford BOTH a private education for any kids he may have AND the expensive goodies or would you encourage him to also sacrifice enjoying life to the full in exchange for a private education for any future kids he may have just like you are suggesting you are doing? Or do you view success as job satisfaction? Because they don't go hand in hand. Some of the most satisfied people are not well paid and some of the most miserable are. If your child has ambitions of being something that needs 600 points in the leaving well ambition and hard work starts at home. 600 points can be achieved in the worst school as well as the best if the child in question has the right attitude and attitude is taught at home. Personally I think you have your priorities wrong. If it is a case one or the other in terms of private education for your kids or enjoying life to the full, as far as I'm concerned the greatest lesson any parent can teach their child is to enjoy life to the fullest because really if that is not the objective of life then what is the point? The greatest way to teach is to lead by example. Monkey see, monkey do and all that. [/QUOTE]
