“Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.” — Margaret Mead

Apart from mathematics and biology, there are many other subjects to teach and study. Doctors and engineers are common professions, but there is a world of other big and powerful positions. There is a certain idea among our parents, children, and society that they will either become a doctor or an engineer. There is no other destination in front of them. If you go to any school, you will see only two groups. Thankfully, this spell is starting to break now and parents and children are turning to different kinds of skills.

I have seen many children lost because of their parents’ stubbornness. The child did not like any particular subject or profession, but their parents were forcing them to take it. There is a famous saying…

“Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend the rest of its life believing that it is stupid”.- Albert Einstein
