If we are super-successful, we expect our children to be super-successful

"...If we are super-successful at what we do, we are likely to expect our children to be super-successful also...If we were an academic wizard in school, we tend to carry a torch for our children to be brilliant. If we didn't so well academically and have struggled in life as a result, we perhaps live in fear that our children will turn out like us, which causes us to do everything in our power to ward off such a possibility."
