I wonder too..

Respect your father and mother.

Thank you all ....I believe its the dream of every upright generation to strive to see the next generation becoming better off than they are, and for every generation to strive to be better off than the past generation.........personally I would feel like failure(economically) if I achieve below what my parents achieved.

@Mtu Biz no worries....Now my question is if its you who has being invited to talk on this topic 'the theme of the seminar is 'STIVE TO BE BETTER THAN YOUR PARENTS"...I have the materials...I just want some additional points,I believe wazua has people who are more experienced....Kindly look at this topic in a positive way because from the comments I got I think you looked at it in a negative way.

Pastor..I will always advice my kids to strive to achieve more than me..If I didn't complete basic education(for whatever reasons)
-I will advice and struggle that they may achieve university education.
-If I had one cow,I will advice and pray that they have several cows
-I I was a lowly paid office messenger,I would pray that my kids become MDs,CEOs etc.
-etc,etc

However you need to advice them to follow their dreams not forgetting this is a harsh world which ussually judges one by his/her economic abilities.

Also advice them to read the book,'Rich dad,poor dad'.

plus @magigi's advice

Good luck
