"Go, Follow your heart" is what I told these earnest young people! This was a part of discussion where people from diff industries were invited to address a group of class 12 students on opportunities in their resp sectors!
The million dollar question that few of them had was the same I had a good 13 years back - "My grades will get me into a good engineering college - but err my heart lies in cooking-arts-journalism.What do I do?". N no prizes for guessing what most parents want their child to opt for....
I am a practical person - I had chosen engineering n I don't regret it. But at hindsight maybe I wold hv been happier(thou not so financially successful) doing what my heart wanted me to. Phenomenon is a beta example - after all his engineering n masters in automobile(more at his parents insistence), today he dabs in a carer of marketing n communications n is at his happiest when he gets to dons the hat of a chef!
So "GO follow your heart"
