My ranting about my parents /sigh AND I'M TRYING TO MAKE THIS COLORFUL HEHEHEHE

So I was just eating, enjoying all the time in the world when my mom suddenly talked with my dad about a student who just aced the university (Academy of Journalism and Communication in my country to be exact) entrance test.

That student said, "My parents forbid me, they want me to become a teacher. But I have so much passion in this area, I have always wanted to become a MC, to be hosting for shows."

My mom commented, "Yeah, I wouldn't let them get involved in this area (Journalism) too."

I scoffed "But it's fun, and also, it's a life-time dream for her!"

"Don't you know that our nephew, he works at a TV station, and he said everyone there kept setting traps out at each other, and they step onto each other just to fight for a spot?" Mom added.

"But, still, if she likes it, then hardships are nothing compared to the passion!" I reasoned.

"Parents are the ones with experience, so we know what's best for our children." Dad ended the conversation.

So, by mean "THE BEST FOR OUR CHILDREN", they meant, "Forbid them from their dream because it's dangerous"?

Oh c'mon people! We are in like, 21st century, the century of exploration, not sitting-in-a-corner-and-do-paper-work-cause-your-parents-said-it-would-make-money era! I HATE it a lot when they say "We know what's best for you guys."

Ugh, I truly think that, if one has the passin, and the strong will to follow it, then hardships are something that that person has to go through, and thus, learn from it! Ugh. Adults, they have lived their lives and they concluded,

"Nothing is more important than money."

Sure, in this society, yeah, money is important, but we can't just because of money, and what our parents so-called the "experience" and throw away our dream, our passion away like that!

Ughhhhh.

I still think that a leading a normal life with paper work, and going to the office everyday, having stable income, like our parents adviced, is sure, a popular choice for those who want a stable life. But, I still prefer a job in which we can enjoy ourselves and also, the job itself, is a passion to us! 

Sure hardships might come but god, hardships make us who we are!

I do believe that, with passion, the time you spend, the hard work you do, doesn't matter one bit.

Anw, back to my parents, they, yeah, unfortunately, our family is like this:

- Mommy and Daddy, who have lived in poor condition when they were younger, like the stability. And they are more introvert. Like water.

- My bro and I, who are younger (DUH.), like taking risks, and we love the things our parents hate. And of course, we hate what our parents like. We are like fire.

For eg: My bro and I both love music, and we hate economics, while our parents stated that, 'economics will never die, and it's interesting.'

Anyone here, has the same prob when you choose your future career?
