Wealth does not pass three generations
I came across an interesting Chinese proverb and thought I'd share:
"Fu bu guo san dai"
- Literally: Wealth does not pass three generations.
- Meaning: It's rare that the wealth of a family can last for three generations (the 2nd may see the value of hard work, but the 3rd forgets it).
- Explanation: In business, the first generation works extremely hard, so that the second generation reaps the benefits. By the time the third generation arrives, the wealth is squandered.

Success is not how far you get but…

Today, I came across this well said proverb while watching one of my favorite TV shows, Numb3rs - the 6th season. I often come across such words of wisdom from many different places which I'll be posting it up on my blog. Stay tuned.
