Hi everyone the topic decided for this week's discussion is -
Should we study something our parents/family don't really want us to study?
These days with such a broad spectrum of courses offered catering to every possible field of knowledge and creativity, is it right to study something our parents don't really want us to study?? Is it going against our parents? Not trusting their judgment or hurting them? In turn curbing our desires and aspirations?
Well I say one should be given the opportunity to express their capability in the field of their choice. Stifling dreams will only lead to discontent both within the child and against their parents.
We will do the best in something that we hold close. For example Pooja, she is a typical example of a girl who comes from a very conservative background with even humbler status and yet she dreams to make it big in a field which not only is related to the glamour world, and hence difficult for her parents to think of as respectable, but also is stereotypically considered to be a mans job. She has to fight her way both at home to convince her parents as well as to get confidence of the industry insiders. …… Yet she does it.
Pooja is an ideal for someone who decides to do something and against all possible odds does it. Moreover, gone are the days when vocational fields were not given equal importance as regular courses. The viewpoint of people is changing, what needs to be understood by our parents is that children need to be understood and given their space and opportunity, starting at home, to understand themselves and show their expertise in what they like the best. The finer decision between what is creative and what crosses lines is to be understood clearly though.
In the end our parents want what is best for us, we should just take time to make them realize and explain to them. Im sure they wouldn't be that difficult to convince if employ the right method.
That was what I thought…. What do you guys have to say about this? ……..
