What you do will be learning for your kids. The way you act, behave and treat them and people around you.
Sayings like: monkey see monkey do or charity begins at home exists for these reasons.
As a parent, your virtues and vice will leave an impact on your kids, so be very aware of your actions. You are setting an example for the next generation.
The same even applies at corporate: if a manager is not delivering to potential and slacking off, employees will follow the same.
There is a chain reaction or snowball effect, whatever you like calling it. But be a good example for people around you: as a parent or a leader. It will make the world a better place.
