My parents came from a third world country extremely poor. They struggled to
ensure that my siblings and I received a good education along with good
values. My own family is now in the top 1% of earners in the US, so our family
tree went from poor to well-off in one generation.

When my parents come to visit us, I know how proud they are and I'm proud that
I didn't squander the opportunity that they worked so hard to give us.

I'm not sure what my kids will do but I intend to instill the same values of
education, working harder than anyone else, and having good values into them.

Congratulations for your hard work and achievements :)

I presume you know other people with your background that haven't managed to
achieve this, do you have any insight into what the differences are?

Innate abilities? specific values? good luck? - I can imagine the general
differences, but the specifics are really interesting to me.
