Should I Have To Follow My Parents

Should I pursue my dream or follow my parents?

I’ve been a victim of this. I simply followed what others advised and as a result I am nowhere, neither do I enjoy what I’m doing nor can I return back to change the decession. The only thing that I can do in my life is I can choose a midway between the two, but in that case will I live my LIFE happily to the fullest extent… NOThis Question or say problem is generally seen in our country,( not throughout the globe) as we’ve grown up with a lot of Love and care. We can’t deny their decession, but at the back of our minds we always have the thinking that what if I follow my own passion.Parents, what do they do is, they go by statistics as they’re really concerned about the future of their child. Absolutely, No PROBLEMS with this, but they hardly try to concern with their child is what’s going on, in their minds.But for students, it’s definitely your passion, which will make you ahead of others. If you follow your passion then, it’s going to be entirely your own life, you can live the way, you desire.Going by the success rates, if all would have done the same thing for getting success in their life, the world would’ve surely been a very boring place to live in. For Ex: Imagine a world with only Engineers & Doctors.We all are born with different hobbies & Good Qualities. Identify your hobby(provided you can earn with it) i.e. what you love to do in your free time, or something for which you’re really passionate about,use it in your career choosing process & then see the results.If you follow that then, you’re never going to feel that you are doing any hardwork, even if you study or do the same work (Profession) for hours together. This is because of the reason, that you would be surely enjoying the work/studies that you are doing.Stick up to your own decession, and work accordingly. Convince your parents, by anymeans, because if one can’t take his/her own decession, then (s)he can’t do any thing in the near future. It may happen that in the same path you might encounter with multiple failures, then the responsibility of the failure will be entirely yours. But at the same time you need to gather courage to overcome that as the decession was entirely yours.Best thing that you can do is to Convince your parents, by anymeans, In case they become aggressive and scold you, never loose your confidence. This pain is far better, than the pain you would get throughout your life, upon not following your own passion. Choice is entirely yours’. THE BALL IS IN YOUR COURT

Should I follow my dreams or do what my parents say?

In my entire span of career counselling, i have come across students who very timidly put this question across, “Should i follow my dreams or do what my parents say?”Lets understand why children feel the need to follow what their parents say, and why they are so uncertain about following their own dreams.Many Parents, bury their children under a mountain of guilt. They hope to achieve their unfulfilled dreams through their off-springs. They pin great amount of hopes, build great pressures on their children to achieve what they “think” their children should achieve. Hence, they very subtly and sometimes not so subtly force their opinions on their children.Their children, out of their sense of duty, try and fulfill the dreams of their parents.Sometimes, children are not left with enough options to exercise their own will, they are often told that they have no clue what is good for them.The age at which they need to make a career choice for themselves is quite a vulnerable age. They generally are indecisive and uncertain in their decisions because they don’t have the years of experience to help them navigate through their options and make clear choicesNow, coming to Should you follow your dreams or do as your parents say. I make the following recommendations.Are you absolutely certain of your Strengths, Weakness? Have you made an honest introspection about yourself?How badly do you want to do, what you want to do? How far have ‘You’ made the effort to research the courses available, options available, scope for the study as well as the career?Are you revolting against your parent’s career advises for you because you are being a Rebel or because you really think what they have advised you is really a bad choiceOnce you have asked yourself the above mentioned questions, you will have a fair understanding of should you follow your dreams, or the advise of your parents.

Should I follow my parents order blindly?

You've used two words with negative connotations.Order and blindly. Which makes your feelings evident about it. You gave yourself away with the question.What kind of orders are these? You'll need to get into specifics and see how each stand in terms of reality, how dependent are you? Do you have a view point which differs?Children rebel all the time. But they do so in passive aggressive ways if the parent is heavy handed and brooks no argument . They formulate sneaky deliberate ways of avoidance to show they're not willing or agreeing with the given “order” or instruction.You can try speaking your mind. I say so because you should ideally be discussing this very question with them. And asking them point blank. In a spirit of enquiry, as you do here.So should you follow “orders”?well do you know what or why the orders are there? What is the purpose? Why they take a hard stance? Open dialogue my friend. Will clear some of that up in your own head. As well as theirs.

Should I follow my passion or my parents’ dream?

You’ve got to ask yourself… just WHO’S life are you living? Hold on… I think I know… mine, right? No? Ok, ok… your dad’s? No? Dang… wrong again.Oh! You MUST be living YOUR life!!!Now that that is established…My dad wanted me to be an engineer. In fact, he even went so far as to attempt to beat me into submission about it. But you see, he isn't living my life. And besides… I TOTALLY suck at math.So, I eventually just joined the army. I spent the next ten years going where they told me to go. Because of this, I have been places and seen things that I NEVER would have done had I tried to be an engineer. I have explored a castle in Bosnia. I have stayed in barracks in Germany that had been there… well since forever. I have been literally a stones throw away from where the Bible says the Garden of Eden was… and it's irrelevant whether it was actually there. Thing was, I was!When I got out, I have been a cowboy in Montana. I have built log homes in Montana. I have worked in a shrimp boat in Mississippi. I have done a great many awesome things, all because I chose to live MY life, and not my fathers.When I got home, finally because my wife was about to have our first kid, I started doing security work. I studied, worked my ass off, and eventually got on with the local mass transit. I did security for them, which paid well enough that we bought a house.My life turned out fine! Better than fine, it's GREAT! I'm not rich. But then, that was never important to me. I wanted to LIVE. I wanted to do things that nobody else around me could say that they did, and so here I am. My life is on my terms. And I am very satisfied with it.You find what YOU want. Then go for it. It's your life, man. YOU live it. If you happen to find something you are passionate about, awesome. Go do it. Never live someone else's life.

Should I follow my passion or please my parents?

A2A.I can totally empathize with your current question. This is the same feeling that I had a couple of months ago.Personally, I always enjoyed Mathematics ever since I was a kid. I just liked solving math problems and finding solutions. But when I realized that Mathematics is more than just ‘get x, find y’ problems. I learned that Mathematics has a Pure and Proof-Based side which I didn’t excel at.I would probably major in Applied Mathematics if my university offered it. But, they only offer a Bachelors in Mathematics which has mostly theory, pure, and abstract study of Mathematics. Anyways, you are definitely right that a degree in Mathematics will most likely lead to Academia, but there are many alternative possibilities such as working in Financial Analyst, Statistician, and Economist. You’ll most likely need some level of training to get into these careers.However, I would refrain from choosing medicine if you like Mathematics. Instead, consider a degree in Physics, Statistics, and Electrical Engineering. These degrees are very applied and similar to a degree in Applied Mathematics. You’ll be solving problems and use plenty of Mathematics.In the end, I can’t make the decision for you. But, I believe you should do something that you enjoy and see yourself doing for a long time. Remember that a degree isn’t the ‘end all be all’ of your future, you can always switch your career path if you wish and work towards transitioning in your desired field. Furthermore, you can always go for a Masters/PhD for Applied Mathematics even if you come from math-intensive degrees like Physics, Statistics, and Electrical EngineeringBest.

Should I go against my parents to follow my career?

I won't say that you should go against your parent's to follow your career or dreams in place you should just clear the show for them. You need to tell them the advantages you are seeing for yourself if you will follow the career you want.In a time where people are running for jobs and are not getting it is because of the inability and skills required for those jobs which are missing in everyone. In this era following the career you want for yourself is more fruitful than to be the Ant who works a lot but don't earn as much she wants. Clearing the frame will make it easy for both you and your parent's to be happy in future.And if you will follow the dreams you want you will live a happy life. There will be no one who you can blame that because of you I ditched my career and now I am not achieving want I wanted to.
