DREAMS-GOALS

The most pertinent advice given by our beloved ex-president of India Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam to the children is to dream. In reality a dream can come to the children only when they can have a sound sleep which of course requires a sound mind. The sound mind depends on the sound environment and that can be created by the parents.

Having a dream and following it is a good thing but, blindly chasing it despite the situation not being in your favour, is utter foolishness. Dreams are to be nurtured, but one cannot afford to shy away from the realities of life. It has to be well understood that fulfilling your dreams is all a matter of timing.

Secondly, if you have set any goals, you should never give up on them. Only wait for the right time, and when the opportunity presents itself, grab it with both hands.  Remember that you pass through the way but once.

The third and the most important lesson is to remember that the minds of children are like a blank slate. Thus, you should always be careful while speaking in their presence or think before gifting them something. They are not only receptive but also set their goals quickly. …Meaning, it is in childhood itself that a child finds the direction of his or her life, and it is in childhood itself that he\she is usually mislead. So, if you want your children to turn out as the true dreamers of their future, be careful about your behaviour with them. Provide them with gifts which would encourage them and also have conversations which would boost their self-confidence. Never try to instill fear in them, and never give them gifts which would lead them astray. Above all take out a little of your precious time to spend with your siblings know them, treat them and make them achieve their goals.

Swasti.
