The future

Wake up its morning and let’s get prepared for school. Son go take you bath and your breakfast is ready. Dad and Mom gets him prepared for school and off he goes. Later in the day, dad comes around, Son how was lectures today and I hope it was fine. What and what did you learn in school today? Son: I learnt the Newton’s Law of motion. Dad: that’s great. I want my son to be a great physician.

That’s how the society is today. You must be a “Physician”. You must go to school. You must get the best grades in school. That’s what the idea parents of the so called educated society will say to their child.

What are your dreams? Nobody cares…

Dad I no longer want to be a doctor. Son, you must be a doctor, because that’s what the society needs, you will make a living from it and I will like you to be a doctor.

 The future, I see a future where unqualified doctors are produced, a future where students are forced to excel through all means.

“I needed a good grade so I pay for it” Students no longer study. They are there just to make the grades and please the society.

I wondered what happens to a child who dreams are hidden by the interest of the society and the parents.

You are old enough to determine what you want. Trigger out the dreams in you, be bold to say, this is what I need. Do you know that Sir Isaac Newton was 23 when he discovered the law of gravity?  He discovered the burning fire in him and worked on himself and made a name. Don’t follow the crowd. Be created.

Think, why I’m reading this course, do I really want to choose this as my life time career.

Go ahead think of what you can do. To be success, you then have to be unique.
