"Train up a child in the way he should go"
Reflecting on what I have learned and the accomplishments I've made, I'm thinking what is it all for?...a paycheck, bragging rights? Those things are nice, but after reading a few pages of Proverbs, its evident that we are to pass on what we know to others and especially our children. But this rarely happens in our society today. In general, people hoard their knowledge for selfish reasons, and most parents don't pass on what they have learned to their children for reasons I will never understand. But maybe its because they themselves did not receive knowledge from their parents which allowed this nefarious cycle to continue for many generations. As someone who has had to learn everything on my own, I promise to train my children up in the way they should go, and especially my son. Since God is speaking to men, I feel its appropriate.
