I read a story a few weeks ago about a rich Chinese man who was giving away
all of his wealth to charity. When asked what his children thought of this, he said (paraphrasing), "If they are competent, they won't need my money to succeed. If they're not competent, then giving it to them is the worst thing I could possibly do for them." Warren Buffett also famously said, "I want to give my children enough money so they can do anything, but not so much that they can do nothing."
