00:00Parents want their kids to do great things, all the great things that the parents themselves
00:06have never done.
00:07And they want that when and after the kids have done all the great things, they should
00:11finally do the one thing that the parents themselves have done.
00:15How logical is that?
00:16The parents are saying, we never went to an engineering college, you should go to an engineering
00:19college.
00:20We never got that great a salary, you should get that kind of salary.
00:24We never visited the US, but you should have a job in the US.
00:28There is no MBA in the entire extended family, but you should do your MBA, right?
00:33The father will say, I'm a clerk, but you should be an IAS.
00:35So you should do all the things that we never did.
00:38And that's wonderful.
00:39The parents, if they actually love the kids, should want the kids to do things that the
00:43parents never could achieve.
00:45That's all right.
00:46But once the kids have done all that, why do the parents want to drag them down to the
00:51one thing that they did?
00:52If the kid is doing everything that the parents never did, then why should the kid follow
00:57the parents' life and settle down the way the parents did?
