Each of us has roots and the ability to trace those roots, to identify our ancestors. The highest and most powerful motivation in doing that is not for ourselves only, but for our posterity, for the posterity of all mankind. As someone once observed, "There are only two lasting bequests we can give our children -- one is roots, the other wings." Excerpt from Stephen R. Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
Vietnamese proverb: People have ancestries, have origins as trees have roots, as rivers have sources.
