That's a bug bear of mine too, seeing talented individuals not living up to their potential, but that's life, the only one that you can have any sort of control over really is your own and your children too for a certain time period, and then they will need to learn to fly themselves.
You are right... Today, I had a talk with my friend about a similar topic, children and "teaching" them about important things in life... How it looks like talking in vane, but in the end, something stays in their heads... I know that a few years ago my son would reply to anything that I said with "NO"... 😂
But after 2-3 years, he sometimes mentions our talks from the past, which is nice to hear and recognize! It was worth talking to the "wall"! 🤣

Interesting. I think most of us morph into a mix of our parents and influences from our formative years.
