We're all doing something that we are keen about. You know,as you're growing up,people say,"Do what makes you happy.","Take up extra curricular",etc.
As we start becoming young adults,we're treated like horses.
Yes,Horses. We start getting tamed by adults who think they know what's best for you.
I've come across people who are being pressured by parents ,into becoming Doctors,Lawyers,etc.
Yes,it still happens in today's world.
Our country still comprises of parents who tell their children one of these three things:
1. Government Servant.
2. White Coat.
3. Black Coat.
Yes,i do believe that every parent wants a secure future for their child.
But temme one thing, is it worth doing something that you don't put your heart into?
A good friend of mine,wanted to go to a University in London,to pursue Performing Arts.
To be honest,i'd not really come across someone as passionate as him. His zeal,Enthusiasm that was felt towards his passion,was more than inspiring.
But,i suppose no one could stop reality from taking over.
His father refused and he was supposed to pursue a degree in management and join his dad.
Yes, Business is a pretty safe option,but i saw his heart break when his father refused to let him pursue his passion.
I know most of us want to pursue careers that involve our passion! Singing,Dancing,Football,Art,Gymnastics,Tennis,Photography,etc.
But we are usually told to be more practical in life.
Why? Why do we have to be "Practical".
I mean,aren't singers doing well. Aren't dancers and artists,and Photographers securing their future ?!
Why do parents,especially in a country such as ours,want us to become standard things?
If you're a parent,and you're reading this, LET your child decide what he\she wants to do!
You may watch your child fail,fall,tumble. But at the end of it,your child will learn and grow from this experience!
If you're a child,and you're reading this, TAKE a STAND for what you believe in.
You don't live to impress others. You must learn ,that you live to impress yourself!
Believe that if you fail today,you can try again and succeed tomorrow.
I'm a lucky child to have got the opportunity to dream big and pursue whatever i like. And i'm grateful to my parents for always being supportive of my decisions.
So,take a step today! Make a move towards what you really desire.
People may shun your ideas and call you a complete nutcase.
But then again,all the people who started from the bottom and reached the top,were wackos at first !
Haha,Peace!
