Dear parents,
Success
is not a one night achievement; it's gradual and can take plethora of time. We understand your concern, but we are as much
worried about our future as you are. At times, we might have flunked our exams,
jeopardized our grades, and dropped our merits; however on an optimistic note
this is exactly how life goes on. Not a
single person in this world is impeccable, not even a person that you think as the
paradigm of excellence for us; have you ever realized how austere their life
is?
We are old
enough to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong. Moreover, it is
upon us to choose a career among different alternatives in our life, ourselves.
Albert Einstein once said, "Everybody
is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will
live its whole life believing that it is stupid". We surely have different
credentials, qualifications, interest and talents which vary from individuals
to individuals. To put it other way, everyone does not have a charisma to be
erudite in what society recognizes as highly reputed jobs. Some might have
passion in music, some might want to be sports personality while other might be
enamored in different forms of arts, and might want to peruse their career in
it. Passion varies, and so does the aim in our life. Nevertheless, all the
professions are equally respectable and even equally lucrative, if one can
exploit them well.
Parents, we
have some question to ask: What would have Justin Bibber achieved by this age
if he had wanted to become an engineer? Had Sachin Tendulkar taken biology as
his career, what would he have become, a lab assistant? They certainly would
not have achieved as much as they have achieved in their respective fields
whatsoever. There is no guarantee as such that your choice of career works well
for us. One's chance of succeeding does not only depend upon knowledge and
effort but equally on the emotional devotion one has put into it. We cannot
have our emotional devotion into anything unless our passion drives our
emotions.
Give us the
time and we will show our virtue to the world with patience, confident,
motivation and toil. We assure that you will never have to bow down your head
because of us, if not held it high. We might not become a doctor, an engineer
or an Ivy League graduate, but one day, we promise, you all will be proud of us
and probably bragging about us, for whatever we might have become. Parents, that
very moment, we all will be in a common ground and will have a common reason to
smile.
We hope to see positive
response from you.
Yours faithfully
Sons/Daughters
