Make your time in life worthwhile for your family and next generation

In the beginning...

Land was a free gift of Nature, owned by no one yet can be used by everyone.

The first men were the wise family and the lazy family, both started to claim portions for themselves which they cultivated and also built their houses on.

The land you can cultivate is what belongs to you, the wise family works together to cultivate more land so they can have vast land while the lazy family just claims a few plots enough to cultivate the food to eat and to build the house they live in.

The wise family claimed vast lands for themselves and in that way made their coming generations lucky because they have done all the work needed for them and they are just coming to enjoy the fruit of their ancestor labor.

It was not the same case with the lazy family, they lived a life that pleased them without thinking of their generations, they multiply but their children had nothing of their own because the wise claimed most of the lands and already utilizing it for their best advantage and the lazy generations had to work or beg the wise family before they can feed themselves.

The new lazy family cursed their ancestors for not doing the right thing and prayed to God, He answered their prayer and sent them an angel, a baby boy was born into one of the lazy families, born into a lazy family but he was as wise as the wise family, he was also hardworking and one day he noticed that the few lands owned by the lazy family had golds which the wise don't have and with this, he was able to trade some golds and get some lands from the wise family and that was how he saved some of his generation from being slaves to the wise family.

This was a story I formed to explain something.

Some of us were born into greatness and those ones are the people who were born into wealthy homes and did not have to toil hard to survive, some of us were born into poor families but we have greatness instilled in us, all we had to do is not to be like our fathers and ancestors, we need to strive harder to break the shackles of poverty and elevate our families so our generation can enjoy what we struggled and hustled to build.

Do not let your story be like the fool family that did not think about the future and only lived the best life for themselves and ended up living nothing for their children, you must learn to think of not just yourself but your family and generations to come, make them proud of you by creating a generation wealth that will last a long time.

Absolutely, I agree with you. There is a saying that it is not a sin to be born poor, it is a sin to die poor

Have a nice day @burlarj

Great story! I think we ought to think beyond our present circumstances in order to build the life that we want. If we happen to find ourselves in unfavorable circumstances from the start, then we also need to work hard to break this chain in order bring forth a new era of abundance. The best part is weren't doing it only for ourselves :)

We have only one life and we should try our best to make our life better and our next generation should feel proud for our contribution. Someone need to work hard to come out from the shackles of poverty. Why not us? What's the point blaming ancestors? If we don't work, then our next generation may blame us for the same reason. 🙂

This story touches deeply bro and you have taught everyone who would care to read a very valuable lesson.

Our ancestors have done theirs and it would be our fault if we don't break the shackles they left behind. We are going places, we will rewrite our generation's story and those coming after us won't have to struggle like we did.

Happy Sunday bro.

That story is not complete oo, better come back and complete it😅 I really enjoyed reading the story and I felt like it shouldn't end.
I love the analogy, that is why there is a saying that "don't let your background define you" our present situation doesn't matter but only if we make efforts to change it.
Happy Sunday Burl...

p.s Is like you will teach me how to pronounce this your name oo because you need to hear the way I the butcher it from my end😂

I see you're preaching about generational wealth and the importance of hard work. I couldn't agree more. But let's be real, sometimes some people just want to be lazy and enjoy life, but just as your formulated story goes if a lazy family can produce a wise and hardworking child, then there's hope for all of us ... just kidding.

We just need to remember that it's not about where we come from, it's about where we're going. So let's work hard and make our unborn children proud.

Generational wealth is very important indeed. Families that have considered this have been instrumental to the subsequent descendants life and lifestyle. They pass on land etc. and that can certainly appreciate in value and prolong prosperity from generation to generation.
