It's very hard to strike a balance. On one hand you want your kids to be successful, which on it's own has many nuances, and on the other, don't let them waste their potential. Make sure that you provided them the opportunities to achieve their potential. And be happy in life. But also be able to sustain themselves without worrying about tomorrow. And so on.
There is also the fact that if we all live and no one wants to be a high achiever, we'll still be in the dark ages.
