Do not bring a profession to set standards

It is very common to hear a child say “I will become a teacher, doctor, engineer etc when I grow up”. It is also very common, for parents to aspire for the child to become a doctor, or an engineer. Instead of setting these professions as example for a child to follow, it is good that we set the essential qualities required for success as a standard for the child to follow.

The child should be talk perseverance, honesty, sincerity, dedication, sense of ownership and braveness to face any difficult situation. These are the essential qualities which will bring out the best in any child and will make the child in what ever profession in lands up in. The choice of the profession should be left with the child to decide so that it picks up what interests it the best.

It is genius material which needs to be built in the child to enable it to excel in any profession. Instead today’s parents focus on bringing their interest into the child’s minds, pollute it by defining a particular profession as a role model and fail to teach the basic genius material that is required for it to become the number one in a profession of its choice.

So parents why don’t we start focusing on building the basics, rather than building the add-ons.
