well...

When your own child is born you understand your role in life. You understand why you are where you are and what you have to do. You know exactly, instinctively, that you have to do you very best for this person who you dragged into the world, who didn't ask to be born and who has know knowledge or skills of any kind.

You know that this is your best opportunity yet to succeed, to do things better than anyone else (including your own parents) and to give this new human the best opportunities in life.
