Imagine yourself locked into a room. The room only has a door. What will you do? Of course, everyone will say that they'll try hard to open the door. But what if you fail? Here the question arises, “Is a window actually needed?” Despite trying your best, when you still fail to open the door you unwillingly have to choose the window to escape. Am I right?

Now, replace that room with your life, the door with the passion of your life that you are following to earn for your livelihood. Despite trying your best, due to some of the other reasons, you fail or you do not get the desired level of success. What can be done at this point of time? Can you think about a window, an alternate way of leading your life? 

I may sound a little demotivated to you, but being a mother of two, I get worried when I see my sons following only their passion. It is good to follow the passion and I never forbid them, but as a mother, I really get anxious about their future. What if they get fail to open the door. I personally prefer to teach the child about this window from an early age. My sons want to join the army. I appreciate their choice. But as we all know joining the army needs lots of physical as well as mental strength. So at this point, I think talking about that window is very important. I let my sons choose that window on their own and I got a good response from them. I teach about this window to my students as well and it actually works. I am not talking about demotivating anybody but all parents may understand my views. Many parents must have faced these situations. Every one of us wants to follow what we like to and making it our life's goal and achieving it makes us even more positive towards our life and bring happiness also. 

I only want to convey that every parent should let their child follow their passion, to see them happy and living a positive life but at the same time should teach about the window so that at times of struggles they may find some good vibes and again continue to follow their passion without feeling down. This support from parents may help the child to be strong and stay positive.
