Though I have a reasonably successful professional career and investment journey, I do not regard myself as a successful parent. I am often at a lose of what to do being a parent.
Now I fully appreciate the freedom of choice I have in making many life decisions for myself with a pair of not-so-well-educated and hence less-interfering parents (few are fortunate to receive good education in my parents' growing-up era).
I have meant well to introduce my children to investment early but I hope I am not inferring too much to take away the opportunities for them to make decisions for themselves as part of the growing-up process.
I have tempted to interfere at times but tried hard to resist. Investment needs hard work and disciplinary, which could only be sustained through strong motivation and passion. I hope my children could develop the passion and then put in the hard work. I can only hope because the more I am trying to monitor and guide them, the more I am taking away the opportunities for them to make decisions. I hope they seize the opportunities I am giving them.
