i. In 1971 we had shifted to Jaipur from Tonk (Rajasthan). My father was not satisfied with the practice as Lawyer in Tonk and had got a job in Government of Rajasthan. In those days he was drawing a salary of Rs. 400/- per month and dependents were about Ten(including cousins). It is a matter of great surprise for me today to think about a family of ten living on the monthly earning of Rs. 500/-. He took me on his bicycle to the vast campus of Rajasthan University couple of times. He did not say anything just showed me hostels, colleges, main buildings and all. Probably he wanted to develop vision in me about higher education, professionalism and all. It was his style of developing vision in me otherwise what else can be a purpose to take a boy of 10 yrs to the university campus that too on 10 kms away from home . Later when I passed B.Com. (Hons.), I ranked 6th in the university in my subject.
ii. After graduation I used to visit the newly developed industrial area of Jaipur (VKIA) bout 20 kms. on cycle or by bus. The purpose was just to see the industries and read the names of various entities. While passing through them, I used to get excited about entrepreneurship. This vision put me into consultancy for corporates.

Above two incidences are not to boast about my self, I just want to share with all of you that we should develop vision in kids at very early stages. We should take them to university campuses, Industries, professional offices, Banks etc so they can dream about them. This is very important for parents if they wish their kids to be successful in life. We should also arrange visit for them to various successful personalities. Believe me it does not cost much and results in good help for their vision development.

Absolutely agreed...it occurs with probably everybody. Yet the ability to perceive the presented in this way is what which makes the differece. Young impressionable minds are best for such presentations because they can think beyong the boundaries of what they have and what they don't.
