Everything that you have achieved up to this point in your life, you owe to the little voices in your head. Your personality is built from certain mantras, quotes and philosophies that you have gained throughout your life. You use them to make smart and wise decisions in your life. Actually recalling what these little voices say so that you can pass them on to your children can be tricky.

Just realizing that you have smart things to say to your kids does help them out any. You need to actually communicate your wisdom with them. To do this, set up a specific time every day that you can share your knowledge with your children.

One of the best times to share your wisdom with your children is at the dinner table. They are in a captured environment and are forced to listen to your stories. They also have time to contemplate what you are saying.

This deadline that you have created will be what will drive you to come up with some of the secrets of life that have helped you in your life. Without the pressure and committing to sharing your knowledge at a specific time, you will be less likely to think of all those smart words of wisdom that have helped you out in your life.

Share these tid-bits with your kids:

- If you are about ready to say something bad about someone, act like they are right beside you.

- The Law will catch you if you break it. Someday, someway, someone will find out and you will go to jail.

- Mistakes are our greatest teachers, so don’t be afraid to make one.

Do not worry about making your wisdom sound pretty. As long as your kids get the idea then you are on the right track. The sure fact that they heard the wisdom from you is what makes it stay with them.

Here is one little tid-bit of wisdom that you can share with your children that will help them become in high demand when they start to enter the work force and is a secret that will get them multitudes of repeat business.

ALWAYS GIVE THEM AN “ALSO”

When they are washing a car for money, tell them to “also” sweep out the car. If they are getting paid to paint a house, tell them to paint the house and “also” clean the brushes when they are done. This is the cheapest form of advertising.
