I think every child is born with a new hope. How they end up being otherwise falls largely not only on parenting, but themselves as well.
Oh well, choosing the right path seems harder than it takes to say.So I guess the most we can do is to make the path we have chosen to be right, probably by making the fullest use out of it. Every coin has its flip side, so if the side looks ugly, flip the coin. It will probably be nicer on the other side.
If you can't change the situation, change your mindset. Because your world will change because of you.
