Studying is not Everything


In the 21st century people consider being good is studies is one of the many paths to being successful in life. I believe that getting 97% in your board exams and getting into one of the collages like SRCC is not the only path for becoming successful. I mean Sir. Sachin Tendulkar might not be good in studies but he is a role model for millions today. Similarly other activities like acting, singing, dancing, athletics can take you very far in life. We have great examples like- Michael Jackson, Usain Bolt and many more. I don’t mean to offend anyone of you who wants to make a career through academics but I just want parents to let their children do whatever they want to do. They have their own life to live. Parents should just monitor what their children do and guide them if they’re not on the right path. Today several children are forced by their parents to study and leave other activities such as dancing, singing, acting. I am proud to have parents who are always encouraging me to do what I like and I salute all the parents who do the same with their children. This is how our country will progress and this progress needs to happen as soon as possible. There are a few people who are not very rich, don’t have big houses or luxurious cars but they are happy because they get to do what they like. They don’t need anything else from life; they have a reason to live. After all, money can’t buy you everything. Money can’t buy love, happiness and other things which are more important and satisfying.
