About Parents And Their Children

I'd like to say a few words about parents and their children. Usually parents wish their children happiness. That's why they try to give them an appropriate education, because they think it's a guarantee for a future comfortable life. But sometimes it is wrong. Often people get an education and select a job basing based on how much revenue it will bring [salary]. But if you don't like your job, you won't achieve success in this area. I have an example. My old friend dropped out an of university because she wanted to deal only with horses. At first it was difficult but now she has a very good income and she is happy because she can do what she likes.
If your child likes to draw most of all, for example, and has the ability to do that, let him do what he likes. Do not force him to become a lawyer or a financier. Maybe you take away his chance to become a great illustrator in future? [or Artist]

I agree Natalia, how can children work out what they would like to be if they have only been encouraged to be someone that they will never be, or that requires skills they cannot achieve.

They must develop their own personality and try to gain a basic understanding in many areas. It might be their parents dream of their son becoming a footballer, but this isn't a lifetime career for most, and he might be more gifted in music, art, languages, computer programming or farming!

On the other hand, my parents made no effort to encourage me to be anything or to find out what I might be good at. When I got to senior school, I had no motivation to learn, I got interested in Maths and Physics, which led me into Electronics and computing.

So I guess there must be some effort for parents and teachers to discover talent. After all, some careers have to start early: gymnastics, athletics, most sports and even astronauts!
