We love them for they were there when no one else was not. Saying No to them feels like being ungrateful and it hurts so bad when they start to become mad at us for choosing a different path other than what they chose for us. These are the people that can ruin your life especially in this generation. Most of these people turn out to be parents and guardians. I have got mad love and respect for these people but it gets to a point where they will infect you with their outmoded beliefs as to how life has to be about acquiring a degree to secure a good job.

First of all, there is no such thing as a secure job. So long as the company doesn’t belong to you or your family, there is no guarantee for the future. Secondly, the world is gradually shifting from rewarding knowledge accumulated-based (graduates) to rewarding creative minds like Elon Musk, @ned, Dan Larima and many more who are working day and night to make the world a better place. A classic case in point is when Elon’s parents advised him not to leave South Africa. If he had listened to them, there might be no SolarCity, SpaceX and Tesla Motors today. This doesn’t mean we should go about disobeying our parents by the way. It means if you have a dream today and you do not make it a reality, you will live to regret it so find a way.
The world is changing and it is time for everyone, the old and young to be actively involved in this change. Let us stop preventing the youth from exploring different avenues. We know as parents, it is your job to worry about the future of your children but in doing so, don’t end up limiting these kids by not allowing them to think and apply as great leaders of today are doing.
Hahaha if they are good then what are their bad ideas?
I relate so much to this. Thank you for posting.
good story have a great day
Hello @kwakumax
I love your thoughts.
Let it be. Let him live.
Teaching respect and being useful is more valuable and important than recriminating what he wants.
The children are borrowed, they are from life.
When life takes away the reasons to keep fighting, then my son comes with a smile and gives them all to me.
Thanks for the article.
Hola @kwakumax
Me encantan tus pensamientos.
Déjalo ser. Déjalo vivir.
Enseñar a respetar y a ser útil es más valioso e importante que recriminarle lo que el desea.
Los hijos son prestados, son de la vida.
Cuando la vida me quita las razones para seguir luchando, entonces llega mi hijo con una sonrisa y me las da todas.
Gracias por el articulo.
Me encanto.
Hello! I find your post valuable for the wafrica community! Thanks for the great post! @wafrica is now following you! ALWAYs follow @wafrica and use the wafrica tag!
Great post, short and to the point...i agree...one of the areas kids...youth is now exploring....is truth. Kids are questioning truth, with so much information on the internet and so much tech. the kids are seeing the moon landings may not be what we are told. The earth a globe or flat? I hear 1/3 of millennials believe the earth is biblical and flat...based on actual reliable information...crazy right. I do see some good truth coming from questioning everything...and some bad as always. Shalom
Thanks sir for sharing. Your content is always mind provoking. Its always amazing when one comes to the determination of making his sphere of content better than he met it.
Yeah..children must be guided in achieving their dreams but must not be forced to take certain paths that is not part of their dreams.
It keep more effort to attain success and achievement....
