sharing some thoughts....

Hi all,

After the last session's assignment on motivation, specially the one on motivating child in doing 'what you want', some thoughts have been coming in my mind which I want to share with others...

If parent's idea of child's goal is same as child's goal for himself then great!!!
Suppose it isn't and parent defines child's goal, will the child be happy to go for it?

I remember Osho's message on love and faith which I heard somewhere...

Do we believe god loves us and he is our creator like mother and father? If we do, then if we torture ourselves by not eating for day(s)(fasting), piercing ears, etc things people do to appease gods will god be happy? No creator will be happy to see the creation he has made with pain to suffer.
Reflecting on this, we created our children, if our children are unhappy will we be happy as parents?

I feel no field is lesser important, engg, medical, CA, MBA, geologist, geographist(??), astronomist, engine driver, teacher, cook, homemaker, mathematician, politician....any career is great as long as you LOVE and ENJOY what you are doing and you then naturally you try to be the BEST at it. No one needs to be motivated to do what you ENJOY doing.
This is what we(me and my hubby) are going to teach our son.

Any more thoughts on this? Pls feel free to agree/disagree and discuss abt this.

Shubha
