If one has to be successful, positive attitude is very important. Positive attitude not only to the individual person but it should be very strong in the parents of the children for their welfare.
Most parents treat their children negatively, criticizeing frequently for every small mistakes.
This attitude of the parents imbibe and inferior complex in the children and however positive the child may grow the negativity and criticism of the elders at home will remain very strong in the subconscious mind and whatever the child may do result in mediocre or a failure that when the child grows up will become meek and very passive.
Hence it is in the hands of the parents how their children grow up. Parents should mould the children with positivity in the initial stages of their child hood so they grow up to be a very successful person.
So true. That's why our influences as adults is important, what they learn and the environment they had as kids will influence them on what they will become in the future.
