Being from a service middle class is a peculiar experience. We are not spoiled, but also well off. How ever, there is a sense of insecurity of the future related to:
1. The possible lack of funds if wee do not get employed.
2. Be better than friends, or peers.
3. Materialistic ambitions viz. car, house, posh jobs etc.
4. And lastly... Will I Make it....?
We are also aware that it would not be so easy...due to an innate thought.,.. will I be able to do it? All different things keep looming.. my mental calliber to get that education which would give me all this, my father's retirement and his worries, lack of funds to accomplish, etc. etc.
But believe me, adequate planning with the resources and using the right opportunity at time (which is actually called luck...and not God's grace!) gets you on your dream track.No one can touch your dreams..
It is not necessary to become a doctor or and engineer, what our dad and mom dream but to be the best in what you do. Do something little lesser.. no problem... so that you can do better with what you are by brain!
Right timing of steps is very important. It is not good to grow too fast, or too slow either. Give time to grow things in your heart and brain, until they are MATURE to bear the fruits. All things take time to happen, and that is why it is said in other words... it takes time!
Lastly, don' t leave things on God and luck and always THINK BIG WHAT YOU DREAM TO DO. It is you who has to finish it. Take head on, with the most difficult task and finish it. Your 80% job is finished, and then you realize that God helps those who help themselves...
Best wishes in your future life.
