2023 Ask Pune School Admission Expert

Written By Madhuri Singh Last Modified Date: July 12, 2023

Hi Dear Parent,

This post is for Parents like you who are seeking information, reviews, views, and data about best boards, best school in Pune school admission process, reviews of good products, and practical parenting advice.

I have been writing, reviewing and researching schools, preschools, coaching classes and products for children since 2006. I seem to have the knack of looking at the website of a school and tell if they are honest or genuine or over creative. One look at the comments and reviews left by the parents on any website, I can tell if its a paid review or a genuine review by a real parent.

Ask Questions – School Admission and Best Schools in Pune?

It’s all thanks to the fact is that my children have been through 10 schools in all boards of education India offers. They have been to such varied schools that range from All boys to Co-ed, from Single person owned schools to a chain of Corporate schools, from Missionary to Public schools, and From high-end to other end types of schools and preschools. So to cut the story short, I am the best person to answer any and all questions related to schools, admissions, and the stories that parents keep sharing with me and I am so grateful to them.

I thank the parents who share how their time and money were saved by attending my consult. Then there are those parents who really were fearful and stressed out due to overthinking and over-researching. They have become my parenting course clients and are now like a family to me. But the best ones are those who treat me like a celebrity. They just keep coming to me to feel good and proud of the association. I feel so blessed that I could be of any help to parents. As my only objective is to ensure, you should make an informed decision and do not regret jumping into a long-term commitment.

Having raised two successful sons, I think I have the perfect recipe for successful parenting. More so because I was chosen one in pretty much every angle of parenting barring the tragic ones (thank you, Hanuman Ji). So from sharing wisdom about infertility treatment, to complicated and happy ending full terms of pregnancy, to opting to choose cesarean over normal delivery, to raising sons without full-time help, to giving up a corporate career to be a work-from-home entrepreneur, from going through crappy schools to fabulous schools and finally seeing my children managing their career independently and happily is like perfect examples of parenting two personalities. 🙂

So if you have questions, doubts, feedback, views, and reviews, comment below and I will find a solution sooner or later, to the best of my abilities.

How to comment/ask Madhurie Singh?

Remember your goal should be to find the Right Answer that is Genuine and Honest so that your child does not lose a year because you are delayed in getting the answer. I have seen parents take 6 months to 1 year in making up their minds to book a consult with me. They end up wasting one year or sometimes 50 -70 thousand as a nonrefundable admission fee and then come to me for my advice.

You should be specific about the questions that you wish to get a specific answer. If possible read about the boards, types of schools, and reviews of schools already written by me. If you do not find answers to your questions, then you are most welcome to ask me a question here. If I know the answer, I will definitely reply. Sometimes questions are vague or need several inputs before concluding with one single-word answer. Those may be difficult to answer in the comments and will require you to either book a phone consult or book an online course.

Review

How will this massage oil make your child’s body better?

Body massage of a new born and growing children has been known traditionally in Bharat since time immemorial. In Ayurveda the respected traditional science of health and wellness as explained in depth in Atharva Veda (the last of the four Vedas), body massage has been explained in great detail. It mentions how body massage of a new born helps in strengthening of the bones and muscles. Doctors from the paediatrics department of Jawahar Lal Nehru Medical College conducted a comparative research about Dabur Lal tail versus baby powders and no massage at all. They have found that those babies who were given daily oil massage grew twice in height and weight. It’s also scientifically proven that massages with oil makes children sleep better thus leading to a better physical development. Read Research here. The massage oil helps in making skin soft and supple. Read Research here.

What makes this product so good?

I am a big fan of natural ingredients especially when it comes to babies and children who have very low immunity. Dabur Lal Tail massage oil is made of natural ingredients. This is the most important reason that I am quite sure that it is a great oil for new borns. It contains naturally grown ingredients like urad dal which is know to nourish bones and muscles as per Ayurveda. Karpura (Camphor) is second natural ingredient that helps stimulate blood circulation in the body. Shankpushpi is another ingredient which helps skin health and weakness. Ratanjyot is another ingredient that helps protect baby’s skin. But what is the best ingredient that makes me recommend this oil to you for your darling? The base oil is Sesame (Til) oil. Pine Oil is the last base oil. These two base oils has been known to have great benefits in Ayurveda for muscles and bone growth.

Summary

Dabur Lal Tail baby massage oil with pros and con

Pros : Looking at the ingredients like til oil, shankhpushpi, karpura, urad dal it’s a great baby oil and I will wholeheartedly advise you to use buy Dabur Lal Tail . You may also use any oil at home made from seed or vegetables like coconut oil (nariyal), sesame oil (til), mustard oil (sarson) for your new born baby. Daily massage will improve skin health and the vigorous motion of the palms will help in giving a long sleep time to the baby during which the bones and muscles grow. At Rs 445 with extra discount for 500ml on Amazon, it’s very affordable for Indian parents like you. And since body massage must be done for as long as possible, in my opinion to use this baby oil daily for 4 to 5 years is quite easily feasible. You may want to use it for your own body massage too.

Cons: I can’t think of any cons till now.

Madhurie’s Verdict: In my opinion its the best baby massage oil available in India. You may buy it here.

Every Donkey Has a Smart Brain

Written By Madhurie Singh Last Modified Date: June 20, 2023

20230521 105829334

Once upon a time, a farmer’s donkey fell into a well. The animal cried loudly for hours, while the farmer searched for a way to rescue him. Eventually, the farmer concluded that the donkey was old, and the well was already dry and in need of being covered. He believed it wasn’t worth the effort to pull the donkey out of the well. The farmer gathered his neighbors and invited them to help. Equipped with shovels, they began to throw matti into the well. The donkey soon realized what was happening and cried out in distress. Surprisingly, after a few shovelfuls of matti, the donkey quieted down. Curiosity piqued, the farmer peered into the well and was amazed by what he saw. With each heap of matti that fell upon him, the donkey did something incredible: he shook off the matti and used it to step up. Gradually, everyone watched in astonishment as the donkey reached the mouth of the well, went over the edge, and trotted out to freedom.

This story teaches us an important lesson. Life will throw matti at us, all sorts of challenges. However, the key to climbing out of the hole lies in shaking off that matti and using it as a steps of a ladder. Every problem we face can be an opportunity for growth. If we refuse to give up, we can overcome even the deepest holes.

Remember the five rules for happiness:

  1. Free your heart from hate.
  2. Free your mind from distractions.
  3. Simplify your life.
  4. Give more and expect less.
  5. Love more and shake the matti, because in this life, you must be a solution, not the problem!

What does AM PM after time mean?

Written By Madhurie Singh Last Modified Date: May 21, 2023

20230521 091219797

I have always wondered about the origin and truth about the AM and PM when we mention time.6am, 3pm, 9pm. Somehow their meanings ante meridian and post meridian were not convincing enough. Until I came across the origin of the words in Samskritam.

Yup, its true that the origin is Samskritam, hence Bharat for the acronym AM and PM. Its not what we have been made to believe since our childhood that AM is ante meridian and pm is post meridian where meridian means longitudes. The west whenever they copied or got inspired by another language would randomly replace the meaning with any word that started with the syllable or sound and closest to meaning. Not necessarily exact meaning. Because to replace with excat meaning they would have to accept that they copied, right!

In Samskritam, आरोहनम् मार्तण्डस्य and पतनम् मार्तण्डस्य are very simple day to day words.

Where मार्तण्ड: = The Sun.

मार्तण्डस्य = of the Sun as the preposition is added to the words to reduce number of syllables so that it could be easily memorized. That is the reason a two liner shloka श्लोकः is like a zipped file containing 100MB content. 😄 My Salute to the Rishis of Bharat.

Lets continue with the deciphering of the meaning.

आरोहनम् = climbing or ascending पतनम् = falling or descending. Does it not make it intuitive to understand the meanings that you do not need to mug up? But we were fed fake narratives. Only when we learn Samskrita Bhasha we will empower ourselves.

Else, we will remain slaves. Yesterday we were slaves of information provided by the west.

Today we are slaves of information providing tools.

Tomorrow we will be slaves of information providers. When I hear from the parents but by learning Samskritam how will it help my child’s career? Bruh! Knowledge of a language whether its Samskritam or English or German is to empower your child to use that language to read the truth not to see the earning potential.

If you have any comment about this post, do share your views.

Read if you Failed in Board Exam

White Meme Hope Cat Instagram Story

Humans have a long life span. 80 to 100 years give and take. In this huge life span there is not a single human being who has never failed. You may start from the time scientists have geological proofs to today. Be it a leader, rishi, muni, king, queen, scientist, teacher, businessman or a student. Everyone has failed each year. But they did not end their lives. They decided to get up, stand up, start again whatever they were doing. They had learnt one more lesson how not to do that thing in which they failed.

Indians who failed several times before they became successful

APJ Abdul Kalam ji my favorite scientific example who had really tough childhood filled with poverty and lack of basic material stuff. He fought daily with life to complete his school education and engineering. Yet he failed to get into Indian Airforce, which was his dream after his finished his BTech in Aeronautical Engineering from MIT Madras Institute of Technology. He did not give up Hope and end his life. He worked hard and got a job in DRDO where even after making a Hovercraft he was unsatisfied with his work. He joined ISRO and later led the Indian team to build India’s first Satellite Launch Vehicle SLV III which successfully launched Rohini in 1980. Shri Kalam became popularly known as the Missile Man as he led India into several indigenous Missiles. Later he served as the President of India. During his entire career life he faced innumerable challenges and failures. Yet he did not let those failures stop him. Then why would an insignificant marksheet and result of a board exam which anyways fails to measure individual talent, decide your future.

apj abdul kalam

Amitabh Bachchan is another Indian who has failed early on in his life. Can you believe All India Radio rejected him and was told that his voice was unfit for radio. The man now charges royalty from people who mimic his voice! He was rejected by several movie producers who found his tall lanky body unfit for Indian lead actor. Thankfully his mother’s closeness to the then PM Mr Nehru’s family helped open doors. But the man did not give up or take his life. He was hopeful of one break that would make him the king of Bollywood.

Sachin Tendulkar is today known as the God of Cricket by his fans in India and abroad. Yet he was dropped from the team several times and was criticised for his performance. In 2005, he was dropped from the first two matches of the series during India’s tour to Pakistan. In third match he was taken back but he scored just 1 run and was out. There was entire country against him and wanted him to be thrown out of the team. Yet with his resilience and practice, he came back so wonderfully that he will be one of the most successful cricketer of the world.

Kishore Biyani is one businessman who is the right example of success built on foundation of failures. He started working in his family’s Bansi Textile mills. But it went into losses and he had to shut the mill to pay off debts. Later he started Pantaloon that also failed even though the brand is still popularly known to us. Next he started convenience store chains called Big Apple and Aadhaar. But both failed as he could bring Indians to shop in a mall like place. He finally succeeded by using the learnings of all the failed businesses and started Big Bazaar. He did not say after his first failure that I am never going to start any business or that I am a failure. He kept on trying again and finally reaping the benefits.

Rajesh Dembla is my favorite. He lived in a railway station as a teenager, without eating for days. He started working at railway station by helping a man who would finance small vegetable sellers. He worked in a shop as a cleaner. From there he joined Yellow Pages and learnt the tricks of the trade. Later he joined Justdial as their business partner. Today he is an investor and soon launching Zoozle. He has lived the life in rags and now in riches.

Resilience is important part of human life

I have failed so many times that I don’t give a shit to anything or anyone now. So let me share my mantras with you in dealing with failure.

  • Become immune to negative people and negative environment. If possible kick them out of your life. With me It’s a switch in my brain which I turn off and that person becomes invisible to me. 😄. I wish I could teach everyone about this awesome trick.
  • Watch favorite movies with favorite food and favorite people. No talking and discussing failure now. Let the dopamine replace all the negative secretions. Sleep long hours and wake up so early that world is not even aware of you. Go to the nearest park filled with trees. Walk, jog, run or just sit there. This works like magic always. A favorite music will always help.
  • This is do and teach others. I have a fond memory of the time when Captain Rakesh Sharma in space ship was talking to then PM Indira Gandhi. My mom was applying JabaKusum oil on my hair and I was sitting on the floor with my brothers and sisters. We were all watching the live feeling so proud, positive and hopeful. That smell of JabaKusum and Hope of positivity has been inscribed in my memory. Today, if I ever feel low, I open the bottle of JabaKusum oil and take a deep sniff. 😄.
  • Find out what is that one pleasant memory that always brings a smile onto your face. Cultivate it for days when you are feeling low.
  • I bet you know the usual points which every one tries to rant off like, learn from the mistake, set realistic goals, seek support. But remember each one of us has a unique trick already burnt in the memory that you may use to instantly become positive. Mine is that red color JabaKusum oil. What’s yours?

Last advice. We all have a purpose. Seeking that purpose is more important than trying to fit into the tiny boxes of purposes defined by people around you. Anytime you want to talk to someone, comment below. I always read and reply.

Courier guy did this to me when I gave him

Written By Madhurie Singh Last Modified Date: May 9, 2023

kitten asking otp

I had ordered stainless steel straws from Amazon.in. After weeks it was delivered today. But this post is not about the straws which I will write after this post. It’s just a random thought that flashed in my brain because my heart cried.

Honestly I was very busy making another very serious article on Bournvita saga. So this post is an unplanned one. Why I decided to write about it was because the buzz of AI Artificial Intelligence has been driving is all nuts. Amongst that emotions of Human being is losing perspective. People are imagining that AI will take over the humans.

Yes humans are far far resilient than any machine will ever be. And I want to prove it by humane actions that humans only are capable of doing.

So this courier guy rang the doorbell. The moment I saw him, his frail old body underneath a white tattered tshirt with a pair of blue jeans that seemed borrowed from a 10 yr old. 😔

He asked me to give the otp to receive the package. I said wait. Quickly I went to my son’s wardrobe and picked out 2 TShirts, folded them and came to the foyer area. Then I started to check for the otp which was not there in the message box of my mobile phone. I told him that and he said, “dont worry madam. I will come back later.”

That’s when I handed him two Tshirts and asked if he would take them.

He took the Tshirts and started weeping. I too had tears. So to prevent further emotional scene, I said, I will again check for the OTP.

The old man said after wiping his tears, that, this is his first day as a courier guy with Amazon, and that he did not have a Tshirt to wear. So his friend gave him his old TShirt so that he could start working. This friend also borrowed his own son’s jeans and lent it to the old man.

Then what he said made me feel very emotional. He said, “You are the hands of that Bhagawaan God through which he is helping me. How else would any madam will hand over tshirts to a courier guy!”

I was so overwhelmed that I could be the one who God chose to help his devotees.❤️

I then asked him to come back after his work is over on weekend so that I can handover more clothes. If this old man will be back again, I will update about his life story.

Do share such incidents from your life too and spread humanity. As parents the biggest legacy we leave behind for our children are kindness and empathy which no AI can even beat. 😂

Everything Parents Must Know About Right Schools Before Admission 2023

Written By Madhurie Singh Last Modified Date: May 4, 2023

Are You a Parent Just Started Searching for Schools ?

These are links of all the posts that YOU MUST read before finalizing a school. Remember a school is at least 5 to 12 years of commitment. Do not choose a school like you choose a restaurant. Yeah by reading online reviews or asking your neighbours. Restaurants are one time experience. If you do not like the food you need not visit it again. But a school is daily experience for your child for 365 days multiplied by the number of years spent in the school. So take your time. Six months is minimum I would advise before finalising any school. Before shortlisting schools, choose the right board. Remember, right board and right school need not be best school or best board as per popular online reviews on social media groups. You should bookmark this link and keep reading every alternate day for new posts related to school selection.

Before you finalise shortlisting schools you must  first find out the right Education Board which these school are affiliated to.

How to improve memory and retention of students?

Written By Madhurie Singh Last Modified Date: June 21, 2023

Parents and teachers are always searching for solutions that will help their children and students improve their memory power. This article is for all those parents and teachers. If you are not aware of the Learning curve or rather the forgetting curve, you should quickly read about it here. Then continue reading this article.

 

So as the forgetting curve depicts that in general we start forgetting things 80 to 90 percent of the rest within 24 hours. If revised within 24 hours we retain the content for one more week. If we revise after one week, we retain for around 90 days. And finally if we revise after 90 days, the content is stored permanently.

 

Taking this as the basis parents and teachers including tuition teachers must start the following steps.

 

  1. Ask the students to read and come to the class. Assign 10 Marks to this effort so that it becomes a habit. Less marks will not motivate them to pre read. Reading will basically familiarize the student with terms and a gist of the topic. Let them mug up words with meanings that are new or difficult. Ask them to read the questions before reading the chapter.
  2. The first step will be reinforced by the teacher or parent taking the chapter next day. They should start by ensuring that the students have read the chapter. Ask words and their meanings.
  3. Start with asking questions pertaining to the topic and their real life usage. Explain the concept. Finish by again a short quiz on concept learned. It can be part of the classwork the same day.
  4. Now starts the forgetting curve. To prevent forgetting all that was learnt in the class, a short home work asking the definitions and gist of the concept must be given. Not more than 5 questions or one page homework. A quick reading is must for the student to complete the homework. Revision within 24 hours done.
  5. The next revision has to be within the next seven days. Giving a project or a class test on the same topic next week will take care of the same.
  6. Now you are left with the third revision after or within 90 days. The quarterly tests or revisions will ensure that final step of the memory and forgetting curve is also handled by you.

May be the idea behind the homework, unit tests, quarterly tests was to ensure that follow the memory and forgetting curve. Time to allow schools to conduct these for the good retention and recall that your child deserves.

The only trick is to follow it diligently by planning the entire curriculum and time table a year in advance.

This is how my son started saving money instead of spending it!

Written By Madhurie Singh Last Modified Date: March 20, 2019

An idea can change habits and attitude. A few years back my son started getting his pocket money. He would be eager to spend the entire money asap. I was worried that he will not value money and the hard work. So one day I told him that the day his pocket money saved becomes 10000 I will double it for him.
Suddenly his spending stopped. He stopped going to his friends for useless outings. He stopped travelling by auto to his friends. Movies and parties stopped.
All money gifted by relatives were saved by him!
I thought this was due to pressure of board exams.
But there is no pressure in my family about board exam, then what could be the change?

Last month he told me that he has saved 10K and now I have to double it up!

I am pleasantly surprise and filled with immense pride for this young man.

He has agreed to get his account instead of cash which he plans to invest in stocks!
My younger son is motivated too that when he starts getting his pocket money, he too will start investing. Fingers crossed.

Parenting can not be a one blanket solution for all. We all have to keep on trying ways to find solutions for our own children.

How to teach values to your children

Written By Madhurie Singh Last Modified Date: January 27, 2019

We all want our kids to have moral values yet somehow it’s the most difficult to inculcate.
Mostly kids will observe parents and imbibe their parents actions. So whatever are the intentions behind your actions, kids only see the act. As parents we have to explain the intent to them so that kids know the real reason behind your actions.
My son seemed to be very compassionate when he was young. Of late in the teens I felt slight decrease in the compassion for others.
Obviously the time spent with me now, incomparison to the past had also reduced. Teens have their own friends who become their world for 4 to 5 years. (A hormone during teenage is the culprit which takes 4 to 5 yrs to be overpowered by another good hormone. It’s a normal process.) During this period, teaching values and morality is quite a task as teenagers don’t seem to pay attention.

Yet, it was a concern that was disturbing me. Should I let him be and wait for the teen phase to get over or should I intervene now, indirectly.

Then I got the opportunity on his birthday. He wanted a mobile phone. I gave it with a couple of strict tasks that he has to follow everyday.
Gave him a set of stories with moral values. (Did not buy any moral science book as the title would have given away my intention.) He had to memorize, write and then discuss the story with me everyday. Only after that the phone would be handed back each day. He was too eager to have the phone and quickly agreed to my rules. 😉

Everyday after school he has to take a story from me, memorise it, write it down and then discuss it with me.

It’s been only two months since we started this task. His teacher who used to constantly call about his naughtiness was full of praises. She said, “Mrs Singh, your son has changed! We are thinking of suggesting his name for school representatives!”

I know now that my activity and its desired result is validated. I also know that it should continue as long as possible for many other habits that need to be inculcated. That’s the power of reading, memorizing, discussing. They change the thoughts and inturn the actions.

Parents who are worried that their  children lack compassion or any other desires values can contact me via comments below.

Do like and share it with other parents whose kids seem naughty.

Children Teach Parents too

Written By Madhurie Singh Last Modified Date: January 24, 2019

Children teach parents how to be parents.
Last night my elder son shared something about my younger son. He was expecting me to get angry and fire the younger one but I just laughed. He was surprised. 
He tried again but to his surprise it did not evoke the reaction he was expecting of me.

Then he said, “When I did the same thing at his age, do you remember how much shoutings and lectures you had given? Why are you now not saying anything to him?”

I said, “Shourya, You are my first child. You taught me how to behave as a parent. In your time I was learning as everything was new. Now I am immuned and experienced. So thank you for making me a better parent.”

He is very happy and satisfied.

Wishes are like sparks of fire 2019

Written By Madhurie Singh Last Modified Date: January 2, 2019

Wishes are like sparks of fire. If you wish something, like a spark to keep on burning into bigger flame, it will need a lot of fanning. The tiny spark of wish will ask for resources in the form of time, people and money. It will ask for planning to optimally use these resources. It will also demand your patience, grit and perseverance to see the spark of wish blow up into a lovely larg flame.

Wish you a Happy New Year 2019.

Do you know the secret behind Awards given to Schools?

Written By Madhurie Singh Last Modified Date: July 12, 2023

award

Let me tell you this interesting incident about the secret behind awards given to schools. Yesterday once again someone messaged me to grace their occasion as a Chief Guest for an Award Ceremony. The awards were to be given to the best schools in various categories.

The venue of the award ceremony will be a high-end Hotel in Dubai!

Hain!

Dubai!

Indian Schools Awards?  In Dubai?

So just to get to know more about them, I accepted the invite.

Then came the much-expected email about the charges of the hotel stay, flight, and media coverage expenses that I SHOULD PAY if I ACCEPTED the OFFER to Be the Chief Guest!

Haila! What has the media and education industry conniving to I mean striving to achieve?

Then the same evening I received messages from two schools. They were verifying with me the authenticity of this organizing company for the same Award ceremony. Guess what? They were asked to pick the area of excellence in which they wanted to be AWARDED!  For them obviously, the charge is double and runs in a couple of Lakhs.

So the only winner is the organizing company which will be richer the moment they have received the registration fee from several schools across South Asia.

The losers are the poor parents who will be lured to the shining AWARD Certificate and then have to pay high annual school fees.

And let me warn you. This is not only at the school level. It’s prevalent at the college level, university level too.

Why blame only the education industry? It started with the Bollywood award functions where awards were pre-sold to the highest bidders. I have heard that even corporates have started buying awards to lure quality employees. “kya kya dekhana baaki hai”

The Overlooked Career Options In India

Written By Madhurie Singh Last Modified Date: July 12, 2023

The Career Options in India

Parents of my generation would agree that we did not have many career options in India. Nor was the internet available to inform us about the overlooked career options in India that were available to us. I wanted to become a Doctor or a Fashion Designer. But was too lazy to study hard to be a doctor. I prefer to use my grey cells to find creative ways to solve problems so that I don’t have to slog all the time like a donkey.

As I was always very creative with Art & Craft and add to that the glamour of the just budding fashion industry in Bangalore aka Bengaluru, I imagined to be a Fashion Designer.

My mom was very clear that I must become an engineer as my older sister was already doing her telecom engineering.

The damn CET results proved my fate was to become a Computer Science Engineer. But the itch to be a fashion designer was too much to ignore. So I started doing a course with IIFT too, along with my engineering. But after a year, it became too daunting to handle the heavy assignments of fashion designing along with the mind-boggling technical subjects, not that I recall any of them. Soon, I also realized that it was the glamour of designing that I liked and not the 100 designs in each assignment of the gowns or the blouses! End of the dream which was good enough for the dream but not meant for me. I wanted something challenging my brain cells and not the fingers or the figures only!

So I went on to complete my Engineering and later my Masters in Business Administration.

Today, when I look back, I thank myself for the decision.

And I recall how everyone we met in the ITI colony wanted to become either an engineer or a doctor! No one talked about commerce or arts or anything else. In fact, I did not even know that there was something like commerce to opt for! Gosh! so embarrassingly ignorant we kids were back in the 90’s.

This morning, I met 3 kids while picking up and dropping off my son. All of them were pursuing commerce. One had opted for commerce in his class 11, another was doing his BCom and the last one had cleared his CA. All three have different family backgrounds of which two have family-owned businesses and are very clear to join their dads. The one who has completed his CA has no business blood running in the family but was very sure of running his own firm soon.

That’s when I thought about exploring the many unexplored career option in India, by our Indian parents for their children.

So this coming month I will be exploring career options that are interesting, fulfilling, and financially rewarding too.

Conclusion

After years of providing education and career consultations to students and adults, I have gathered that passion, hard work, and luck are needed to make the best of your life with opportunities that knock on your doors. Many parents force their children to follow their own career path so that the business legacy or legacy in general continues. While many parents allow their children to choose their own career paths. The important point as a parent you should remember is to keep guiding at all phases of their career path.

If you have any career option in mind, that you know of and want to share with me or the thousands of readers of this blog, do write a comment below.

If you want to know about any career option, you may write about it too.
