Let Them Decide
One Sunday morning, my former classmate in college visited me in my clinic. I wonder what brings her to me until she revealed her problem.
According to my friend, she wants her daughter to take a medicine course so that she will become a doctor like her and the entire family. However, her daughter decline the suggestion, instead, she took the Hotel and Restaurant Management course.She even disclosed that she can sent her to any exclusive school if she just obey her. I realized now that she wanted to know how did I convinced my daughter to follow my footstep. I just told her that maybe because we have the same interest.
I emphasized that money should never be a means to manipulate her daughter into staying in her shadow or continuing their legacy. Use their money to provide her daughter with a wealth of experiences that will help her develop into confident, responsible, and independent individuals ready to take on the world on her own.
