Do Not Force Them

Don`t force, no.
Don`t force him to be an engineer.
Don`t force.
Don`t force her to be a doctor.
Let him be a photographer.
Let her sing and be a dancer.

Don`t say "you will regret with those aim".
Those are not yours but the choice of them.
It doesn`t matter how much they have after basics needs are filled.
Names and fames, all their wealth are worthless,
if their confidence and willingness are sealed.
 
They may earn less or drive by small cars,
but will shine in their eyes and be happy even with scars.
Its the culture you give, don`t force.
Otherwise generations will suffer with you being source. 

On their own,
                  let them fly,
                  reach their sky.
                  lead their aim
                  and repeat the same.
