"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.

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.
