Is there ever a useless, hopeless person? I remember this young woman: she was attractive and her life revolved around parties. She barely could keep up her grades to graduate. Even the career guidance counselor shook her head at this person's job prospect.
Surprise! Came graduation and off she hopped to the nation's capital. Most of the students and faculty expected her to get an admin post and catch an eligible husband. She was charming and fun to be with. Within a short time she was hired as a party organiser with an events planning outfit. She was popular, successful, having a good time and was highly paid as well.
I strongly believe that every single person has a wonderful plan all mapped out even before he or she is born. The parents' job is to help find that niche for each child. Should that child be creative and dreamy, do not force him or her into engineering. For round pegs do not fit into square holes. It would be disastrous for parents to force every single child to become doctors just because they could afford the expensive education and the children could qualify.
Not all of our children will become doctors, lawyers, accountants, dentists, and engineers. Who would teach our grandchildren? Who would nurse us when we grow old and sick? Who would drive our buses and trains? Who would bake our fresh and tasty bread?
