Friends
Immediately after birth parents starts planning to make the child's life one of the most successful. They are ready to sacrifice much more than they possess to achieve this goal. The only dream they carry is to see their kid on the top of the ladder. Nothing wrong in that thinking too. We all think the same way and give every thing we preserve. We promote them to get highest marks in the academic and then take them for professional courses. There too we expect them to finish every level on top and with in earliest possible time. Then if by grace of God the kid clears every thing the struggle for job placement starts. We believe that a good job is one with very high package in the most renowned company. The kid by then becomes Boy/ girl. They are armed with lot of degrees, full of knowledge and zeal to perform. Gradually they settle down in certain areas and then after lot of struggle, manage good life. But I have noticed that such people with great managerial capabilities lack entrepreneurship. They put their life on the secured platform of fixed salary, pension, gratuities, fringe benefits, leaves etc. etc. At certain point of life they feel contended and proud of their achievements. But in the second phase of the life the descent commences and the word retirement starts hounding. It is the harshest word of life one wish to hear and mentally programmes the retiring person that he is no more useful for this job. He starts planning for himself and many times feels frustration for the rest of the life.
Other side, an Entrepreneur keeps working for longer period. He uses his failures and success for his business, takes risk and remain active in whatever he has created in the life. He may not be very intelligent in education, may never have received gold medal but may be a rich person in life. At the end he builds an empire, leaves his mark in this world (in job too one can achieve this).
In both the situations, the only difference is of entrepreneurship which takes a person ahead the other one in most of the cases. There is no specific education for entrepreneurship and hence the parents can not suggest career in this segment. Mostly entrepreneurship is circumstantial.It is not dependent totally on education. In addition to education it needs attitude, knowledge, risk taking ability and self confidence.
I suggest we as parents should look in to this sector seriously and groom the kids accordingly.
