Courage

"Courage"- The thing which all of us claim to possess but very few people actually possess it.
Most of the people of our age think that courage is all about going alone to an unknown place, or to ask out a girl/boy or to fight with some one else or some other small silly things.
Very few of us have the courage to face life. Very few of us have the courage to face the crucial situations of life and act wisely in them. Very few of us have the courage to get out of the cobwebs of the society, to take major decisions against the society and our parents. Very few of us have the courage to get out of the convention and do something different.
Very few of us have the courage to follow our dreams, because rest of the world says that they are silly.
It is easy to preach and difficult to act. Here, I preach about following your dreams and pursuing your choices. But, when I had the best opportunity,I was unable to break the convention, to follow my dreams, to decide my career against the wish of my parents. I was also a victim of the Social status and family expectation factors. After completing my +2, being a science student, I had the option to choose whatever course I wanted to, but I was taken in by the expectations of my parents, family and teachers. I was blinded by the information fed into my mind about pursuing a proffesional degree rather than a course of my choice.
I had the spark somewhere inside, that I am born to do something creative, but never had the courage to pursue it. Whenever i spoke something of it, my parents used to say " beta you have scored so well in your 12th std, you should go for a proffesional course, you have the capability, then why do you want to waste it in some silly fashion or english undergraduation course"..
And I, never had the courage to break the convention and here I am, struggling to fit myself in this technical course. Here I am,satisfying the artist in me by writing in this blog and pursuing drawing courses in the summer holidays.
I wish I had the courage to go out and do whatever i wanted.. I am still trying to gather all the courage required to fulfill my creative dreams.
I somehow managed to get the courage to start this blog and start writing. And it keeps me happy. I wish to achieve the courage to take bigger steps in life. And I am trying each day.
I truly want that you learn from my mistakes, because the one who learns from other's mistakes is wise.It saves you from unecessary pain and regret.
Your decisions must be taken by yourselves, don't let others influence you..Act wisely, have the courage to face everything and every one.
I wish the best for all of you..
Be happy.. :)
