Best Investment

We all tend to invest in something for the future. 
It’s human nature. 
Many people invest money in savings, bank accounts, stocks, and bonds, or real estate, etc. 
I think investing in education and children is the best investment of all - educating oneself and children.

If the parents can instill good education and morality - virtues of modesty, honesty, and kindness in the minds of their children, then that would be the best investment they will ever make - that will last for a long time. 

When the children - who are brought up with unconditional love and affection - see how the parents have sacrificed their own luxury and pleasure for the sake of their children's needs, they will intuitively try to return the same love and affection to the parents when they grow old or become helpless.

I strongly believe in investing in the children - not just the money, but love, care, affection, and teachings of the family values and morality.
You never know what will happen with money.
Stocks may go up and down, money can be lost -  and health care laws for seniors can be changed, but even if you lose everything, those children will take care of their parents because the family values will stay with them forever.

I believe not only will they take care of the parents in their old age, but since “Children learn what they see - when they grow up, they will instinctively do the same thing with their children - teaching them the same values. 
And the legacy of the parents, their cultural heritage will continue through their children from generation to generation.
As they say, we continue to live through our children.

    1. You are right Dr. Gulati ji. I agree with you that it's only the family - children, relatives and close friends only who come to help in a time of need. Everything else is a mere talk and formality. Thanks for your comments.
