the root of the problem
by ashish on Jun 11, 2008 02:40 AM

each individual is born with a certain aptitude. some are blessed with analytic skills whereas others with linguistic or artistic skills. Its so important to understand and accept one's strengths and parents have a very important role to play here. Because the teenage are the years which play a vital role in one's future and it would be a disaster to force a student to do something he's not good at. People waste lakhs of rupees on coaching and suffer from endless headaches all because of forcing a teen along a path he does not want to take, which is the sole reason behind the no.of teen suicides wee see today.

Remember, what would have happened if sachin tendulkar's parent had sent him to IIT coachin from 9th onwards ?? forget about his achievements, he wouldn't even have got IIT and probably would been in poverty and depression by now. Credit must go to his parents to discern his abilities and back him all the way through.
