develop a dialog between father and son on importance of taking career seriously
Answers
Father: Son, what kind of a life do you wish to lead when you are my age?
Son: I am not sure, Daddy, but I do know that I want a comfortable life, own a car and a house and be able to go on a vacation each year, like you take us. Then I will take you on trips.
Father: That is very sweet of you, but you do know that all of this costs money. And earning money is not easy.
Son: Yes, Daddy, I know that. I just don’t have a good plan in mind. How do I go about it?
Father: Well, your planning has already started. You don’t even know it!
Son: But how?
Father: Simple. When you study well, score well, get into a reputed college and learn more, you are figuring out your career choices and shaping your life.
Son: You mean making life choices?
Father: Yes. It is all connected- academics, career and the life you want.
Son: I never thought about it that way.
Father: What is even more important is that your career choice can affect your happiness each day of your life.
Son: How is that?
Father: Well, if you choose a field that you are not really passionate about, you will go to office with a heavy heart each day and come back home with a heavy head. You will struggle with your professional life every single day. You will be stressed and frustration will begin to build up.
Son: That sounds terrible.
Father: Yes. That is why you need to give it some serious thought and decide what you want to do in life. It needs to be something that you find interesting and a field where you can continue learning, so that you don’t get bored. It has to be something you love to do.
Son: That is quite challenging! How will I know what I want to do?
Father: Well, we are all here to help. All you need to do is ask.
Son: That is such a relief, Daddy! If I had to figure this out on my own, I would have been confused and lost. I am so glad we had this conversation. Thank you Daddy! Can we talk about this sometime tomorrow evening, when you are back from work?
Father: All right, son. That suits me.
