Few news items that we read or few incidents in our life leave such a mark in our hearts that it compels us to share it with someone. Such incidents also keep us thinking to help us to learn from them.
In recent times, we are hearing a lot about students committing suicide due to exam failures, young couple committing suicides due to family problems or newly wed ending up in divorce due to lack of understanding between them.
On the other side, we see a lot of young people creating a new history each day. A 14 year old becomes a CEO of her own company, a young Indian from Ranchi leading a team to a world cup victory and there are many more such news that makes people proud of their younger generation.
On seeing these two completely contrasting differences in the attitudes of youngsters today, one is made to think what makes a person do what he does. Is it due to the way they are brought up or is it due to the opportunities provided to them or is it the kind of people they are surrounded by? If we think further deep, is it the lack of awareness that the people can choose their opportunities and the people around them? If yes, whose responsibility is it to create this awareness among these youngsters? I am sure everyone would agree that it is first the responsibility of parents to make their kids as a confident, passionate and compassionate individual.
In this almost mechanized world, people especially parents, who are responsible for their kids growth, are more bothered about their survival than about their growth as individuals. Many parents nowadays wish their kids should start earning more compared to their friends' and relatives' kids. This is the attitude with which they are brought up from young age. First, parents should have the understanding that money is not everything in life and people should not work just for the sake of money. (Then they are to be blamed for the creation of money laundering people in the country).So they do not bother about nurturing their kid's passion. They don't understand the fact that when a child is not allowed to find his/ her passion and live upto it, they start losing confidence in themselves and whatever they do for their parent's wish, ends up making their life more stressful.
There is also the fact that if a child finds value in what their parents want them to do, they will excel in whichever career they choose. So parents should either help their kids find their passion and nurture it or should help their kids understand the value of what they say. Also, it is most important that every individual should be allowed to live his/her own life and nobody should force/control the lives of others.
Dear parents, please act as guide to your kids to find their passion and grow. Never try to dictate your kids life for your expectations. Everybody has just one life. Choose what you want of your life and try to get it. If you don't get it, don't exploit your kids' life for that. Parenting is an art by itself. Understand, learn and enjoy doing it. Let your child live for what he/she wants. We can create a more responsible younger generation who will live a meaningful life.
