My wife and I are both lawyers and hard-working. We have a good standard of living, send our two children to expensive, academic-focused schools and have nice holidays. Both are bright, but neither seems at all motivated to do well. I always assumed that our working habits would set them a good example, but the reverse seems to have been the case. My 17-year-old son told me the other day that he did not want to waste his life as we have. I asked what he was planning to live on and he shrugged. What have we done wrong?
我和妻子都是律師，工作勤勤懇懇。家裏的生活水準不錯，兩個孩子都送到了學費高、師資強的學校讀書，全家也會去一些不錯的地方度假。兩個孩子都很聰明，但好像沒有什麼東西能激勵他們表現得出類拔萃。我總是以爲，我們兩口子的工作習慣會給孩子們樹立榜樣，可結果似乎事與願違。前幾天，17歲的兒子告訴我，他可不想像我們那樣浪費生命。當我問他打算以何種職業謀生時，他只是聳了聳肩。我們什麼地方做錯了呢？
