passion or parent's decision?

i think passion is what will take us to success ,but as you say we have a great pressure of parents to do thing in there way ,but my option is to take a profession in which the child is passionate about

If something is done off of the decision of the parents, then it is not going to be something that will take the person going too far in life. Are the parents the ones going to college? No, I didn't think so. Therefore, there are just many times where people struggle because they are living by what their parents want them to do. Or rather their parents are living through their children. Everyone wants their children to succeed. That is just really one point that should not be denied. However, it is up to the children what they want to do. If they are pushed into something, and they fail because there heart is not into it directly, then obviously it is not going to end well. That is a point many forget.

Hi geinu! The student must choose to take the one that his passion dictates because it is really the key to keep him going in the future. He will be going to decide for his future anyway because not althrough his life that he will be with his parents. Passion will lead him to success in this sense not his parent's decision. My parents once had also insisted a certain course for us their children to take. Not one of us had followed their decision with regards to the course which we would be the one to study. As a result, we all had been happy to graduate with good grades and no additional semester for failure. We all had been leading a life of joy and success. Our parents ultimately realized that it was just find that we did not follow them in choosing the field that we would be undertaking in college. We have now a happy parents who are happy for their children, too.

It maybe not be the best choice for them if that is what their parents want, and not their own decision. I would want to do something that is up to my desire, and my passion to it. I know what I can do best, and not my parents decision about it. Maybe their parents want the best for their children, but they also need to understand what their children needs and wants.

Hi, geinu, I think that there has to be a balance of both the child and the parent here. Sometimes, young people have a great passion for something and they think that they will want to do it all their lives. So, they want to take a course that will help them on the way to that particular career. However, being young and not necessarily understanding the world, they might make this choice without doing any research or understanding what they are getting themselves into. What if the person really loves to do one thing, but that thing will probably not be enough to support him or her in his or her life? For example, I love to write. It's certainly a passion of mine, and I would be exceedingly happy to spend my days writing and writing to my heart's content. However, since my parents have taught me well and not left me blind to the world, I understand that it is very hard to make a living this way, and since I want to be able to support a family some day, I chose to not focus my studies solely on writing. Instead, I decided to choose another career that I would also enjoy and which will allow me to still spend some time writing. So, to answer your question, no, I don't think that a child would be happy doing something just because his or her parents want him or her to do it, but there has to be a balance between the child's passion and the adults' comprehension of the reality of the world when it comes to making a decision about studies.

No, they not gonna happy.Because collage is the hardest level of study, there are so many obstacles there. When we have passion we gonna survive because at least we like it so we have courage to fight that. But when it's come from parent's decision it's gonna hard to survive. Trust me I felt it by my self, How I have to suffer a lot because major that I take is not as I wanted but my parents especially my dad decision...

Hi Geinu, I would go through my passion.I will do what my heart says.Yes,you are right,many students tend to take money earning courses and don't follow their hearts.I think they won't be shinning in that field.If they follow their passion they will successful in any field.We should calm down our parents and tell them what our passion is and convince them.Parents might suggest their opinions but it all depends on child.

Well, My current major is my parent's choice for me but I do not mind of doing it. Even Im studying a major that my parent has decide for me but I still able to enjoy my passion and try to pursue my dream because my parents give me freedom to be what I want to be as long as Im on the right track. So its like a win-win solution for me and for my parents, even if someday I do not use my degree to get a job but I still make my parent proud of me. My dad has make a plan for me, after I graduated from university I will continue my study to get a masteral degree. Im happy with my dad's plan because he cares alot about me, but he also supports me to not giving up on my dream. So it is like a backup plan, incase I dont get a good job with my degree that my parent choose for me then I still have another plan or another way to make a living...vice versa..incase I cannot fulfill my dream then I still have another back up plan to help me stay survive in job hunting. Sometime we think the thing we want is the only way to have a succesful life, but dont forget sometime what we want is not what we need. Of course if we enjoy our job or the thing we do we can have a nice life but why dont we deal with what we have and try to enjoy everything even what we dislike at first such as our parent's decision?
