Kya ye right choice hai baby?
‘3 Idiots’ ….. “Shikshanachya Aaaicha gho’… Its all about choices ……… and not of what our children want to do but what parents wish them to do!
True. In today’s competitive lifestyle, parents are trying to get their children to do what will earn them a good living.
But….. Are we not forgetting that even if the child is given a choice to do what he/she wants to do, they need to work hard to achieve it? How many times are we as parents, teachers, grandparents, society setting an example of hard work in the right direction? At the end of the day one has to strive to achieve success in chosen field.
To become an actor, one needs to be a disciplined person, have patience and have in-depth understanding of different body languages and nuances of different personalities, learn voice control, be an avid reader, be good at observation of situations….. and many more things to learn. To be great cricketer, you need to develop stamina, physical prowess, practice stringently, and lead a restricted life….. maybe no parties and late nights.
Are we not forgetting that when we initiate the thought process that children should be allowed to take up what they like to do as a career, we also need to guide them in the right way to achieve it? Unless one achieves a certain level of prowess in their chosen field, they will not be able to realize their dreams. To achieve satisfaction in your chosen field you need to be disciplined and work hard too.
If our children are motivated to learn and not cram knowledge, they would be successful in any field they wish to take up. But for this, a sustained effort in the form of memorizing, writing, solving problems and other related methods is necessary. These are the tools required to work hard.
It is all very fine to say that children should be allowed to take up their choice of career and so on. But are we providing them the right tools to deal with the difficulties that they will certainly face in their chosen field? Are we mistaking the wood for the trees?
