Nov 18 2012: I think about this question often and I find it very thought provoking. One small way is for parents to instill the same dicipline and values that prior generations taught their children. In my opinion, children nowadays are rarely disciplined and when they are, parents cave way too quickly. This leads to very bad habits in children which can also lead to negative long term personality traits and little drive - especially when faced with adversity. We need to get back to some of the old school values if we want our children to be strong leaders and for the world to be a better place.
