I am seeing and observing many people since my childhood. Most of , I mean more than 90% of the people, prefer to take the path all the others choose to take, and being diplomatic in their approach towards things. Why they do that? Coz they fear being left out isolated from the society and their close ones, so they may be successful in their respective fields, leading a satisfactory life, not hungry for more, but they are not different, and people remember them for a short time, and then they are forgotten. 10% of the remaining people stand by themselves, with least support from others, and with a different thinking from conventional thinking, and , all of them have potential, yet only 10% of them, are successful in their approach of different thinking.
These persons are not many, but are responsible for most of our daily used inventions, which were unthinkable many years ago, like shaving blade,car, mobile, computer,etc. They had a tremendous capability of taking risks, following the unconventional path, learning from their mistakes, and having a great vision. We all have such capabilities hidden in us, but they get buried inside most of us, coz of mostly the social pressure and the monotonous thinking imbibed in us by our relatives and friends, and secondly, the fear. Many of us don't follow a certain path, not because we have failed in it, but because we have failed in it in our minds, before even attempting the task. Going to school, then university, passing and getting a job, is recommended by almost all of us, to our parents. Very few of parents advice their children to follow their own path, or make their own path. If you have some talent, for God's sake, don't waste it, it's called 'God gifted' talent, like someone may be a great singer, even though he may have not taken any training in it. But all of us seem to neglect our talent, and follow the conventional path our relatives advice us to. Please dear parents, don't force your child to work on your dreams, rather encourage them to work on their own dreams. And dear friends, if you have any talent, do focus on that, try to achieve your dream, rather than just focusing on what the conventional path is. Be different!
