People do not appreciate at all the things that are given to them on a silver platter. Oh sure they may enjoy them for a while but then they become disposable to them, just like all of the other things in their lives that they have simply been given and had not had to work hard for and earn. I want to give my children the best of everything but I also want them to be able to place some value on their accomplishments and I think that sometimes the best way to do this is to make them work hard for the things that they get and they are sure to appreciate them more in the long term. And personally I think that this is one of the greatest life lessons that we can ever give to our kids. I completely agree.

You don't experience that same feeling, the happiness you get that's rooted in achievement, by doing an easy task. Only a goal you've worked hard to reach brings that out in you when you finally get there, and there's no feeling like it. Anything worth having comes at a price of sorts, I find.
