I wanna be a Trukie!

When I was in my school days, everyone was wishing to be different kinds of personalities in their future. Once one of my friend asked me "what do you wanna be in the future" i sad " i would like to be a MAFIA" he laughed and gave me a new name in the school "Mafia".
This is just a example of my frustration because i was studying a government school and my parents didn't have much choices to make me so called "DOCTOR or ENGINEER". It was not only the frustration also a rebelian thinking in that stage. I was good student while studying in the school and the guys who were in my stage was thinking to be "doctor or engineer" as their parents were big with big pockets. But i was not that much poor either whenever i used to take TIKA in the dashian my mom used to say...bless me "be a big man in the furute" my mom never told me to be a doctor and engineer. That's fair enough because she knew that she couldn't finance me for that...anyways thinking was big.
Finally, my luck has come at my place, i got a golden chance to fly Australia. It is the turning point of my life...it is the best moment in my life so far...and once i sat infront of one of Australia's national television programme. I think it was something like reality programme and there were numbers of children participating in that. At the same time they have to say their future plans among other competitors.
But when i heard their own future plans...i just surprised...i thought...developed nation...developed mind and developed children...so smart..so strong...and so straight...one of the competitor told...he wants to be a "TRUKIE" i just surprised...Trukie...are you kidding???? in my country no one even think to make their children a "TRUCK DRIVER" but this guy was talking..infront of their parents..and they are laughing and accepting that desicion so lightly and easily...i imagined..those moms and dads back in my country...if somone say samething like this in the public how could they react...probably they could think...their child is mad...but it gave me a real lession...how we educate our children...how our society educate us..how much pressure we have to take since our childhoold... how much liberty we have since our childhood...as our parents are still thinking about...to make their children...only..DOCTOR or ENGINEER...now the world has been changed...whole world is behind in money...economy...market..and so on...but we still thinking...same...old school of thought...DR...ER...good bless my mom's thinking...and others...but I am sorry...for those parents...
