Do not mislead the child, just guide him,
Discover his inner potentials and work on it .
Help him deal with his talent, dont gamble with his future, he will blame you for his doom,
He made me trust schooling enough that i gave up everything else for it, maybe its not my fault though. When i was a kid, i used to make very realistic and really amazing drawings and my friends love it, i thought im going to be an artist. .lol, but as time goes on it came to the notice of dad that have been giving so much attention to drawings that sometimes i even miss food times, yea because i love drawing, dad was not happy and said, "boy, im very disappointed in you" why dont you have an ambition to become a very corporate successful business man, lawyer, doctor, an architect or engineer? I am not raising an artist please, concentrate more on your studies and make sure you are one of the best in your class, i am ready to support you to any level of education you might think of but will never support you as an artist,

" i was young and i felt threathened so i had to do what dad said atleast he knows more than i do, then i faced my study, when i see my friends draw, it amuses me but dad said i must not go there, as time goes on i discovered i could sing, i write songs and i can sing to entertain people, dad heard again and said no, he wont take that from me , he want me to go to school without any distractions, soon i had no obligations or duty than going to school, i dedicated my life to school to please dad, after my graduation i had no skill, i have nothing else to do apart from struggling to get a job, the jobs i got are very low pays, what can i do i waited patiently and later , i had to take one of those really low paid job, dad is old and i am growing into a position of taking care of the family, then i told dad. " most of my friends that we draw together in those days have become famous, they are well known people now, the ones that we sang together are also famous now, they made it really big, though some had to drop school but atleast they are happy with who they are today, these is what you wanted me to do, to become a doctor, an engineer, after school, but all circumstances keep bringing the career down, our nation is in some kind of mess, nepotism fix most people in posts, no capital to start your on enterprise, why did i listened to you? Im done with what you wanted but im not happy with myself, so many people has the same qualifications has i had, including the richmens children too, there is no real space for the poormans children.
Dont mislead the children, just guide them .
