Do u think that ur parents dont understand u???
Do u feel like ur forced to act as per their desires??
Thr r loads of children who wud luv to pour out their views on dis topic.. so this is dedicated to 'those children..'
So whr do we begin...?? k lets start frm d parent's point of view... most parents have dis common view dat their children shud just study well, be d top scorer in school, n get d best job n be well-settled in life... i call dis 'THE TYPICAL CYCLE' ...
Dis is wat most parents hav in mind... how many parents encourage their children to take up somethin like sports, fashion designin, journalism,politics n stuff which r also areas whr ppl can actually make a bright future.. wen wil dey ever get out of the typical cycle???
A typical middle class dad wud just want his son to get a gud job in d best company... a dad havin his own business wud dream of his son succeed him in doin so.. y cant he dream of his son settin up his own company??? y cant he dream of his son venturin into a new unknown area n creatin somethin new??? who ever bothers to find out wat their children r really interested in??? n even if they do so... den d children hav to come up wid sumthin like engg, medicine, law... if its some course dat isnt well-established, den we see d parents r so reluctant that they'll try to brain-wash u into doin sumthin else... how many parents actually want their children to do somethin different?? common..!! d whole world is doin engg, medicine, b.com, law etc... its only d economically backward ppl who tend to encourage their children in sports cos dey cant afford d professional courses... Its only theses ppl who shine in d sports arena, in d media, n stuff... d whole world can easily predict dat ambani's great-grandson and great-great-grandson wil continue to expand d business empire... can anyone think of dem becomin journalists or football players??? a 'hell NO' i wud say...
Apart frm d ppl already in d defence forces, how many parents motivate their children to join d defence forces n serve d country??? Its only those frm d poor families... All d others only wanna end up being engineers or doctors... dis is just not done, i say... we need to bring abt a shift in dis...Its not an easy task but parents hav to recognise their chilren's real talent n help him shine in dat area...
I wudnt say all parents think in this pattern, cos i do hav a very gud frnd whos bein motivated by his parents in d field of tennis... n everybody who knws abt dis is in awe... cos d parents give top priority to tennis n encourage their son to perform to d best level... its just so touchin to see this kinda encouragement...!!!
I think its time parents stop buildin their anxiety n forcin their dreams on their innocent little children.. n its high-time they stop bein ignorant abt fields other than engg, medicine, law n commerce... it is risky, YES... but how long wil u stay cuddled within these fields... n expect only others to come up wid sumthin in d other fields??? how long wil ppl only aspire to become only engineers n doctors n go serve other countries??? Wen wil ppl start seriously thinkin abt developin INDIA?? wen will ppl start thinkin abt raisin d 'standard of d country' rather than raisin d standard of their own self...??? so dis is my question to d parents... Wen wil "U" take d BIG STEP n let ur children xplore various fields n succeed in dem???
wake up ppl... wake up......!!!!! we need to bring INDIA to d no.1 spot... n dat can only be achieved by all-round development of d country... not just enginnerin n medicine... got it???
