What all we aspire?

What do we dream to be? What hopes we have from our kids? What we tell them to look up to? Too many questions asked but pretty simple answers Engineers, Doctors, CA, IAS Officer, If not many but few Army officer too & some even players. How many of us want our kids to be Entrepreneurs? How many of us want us our kids not to work under somebody but be somebody. If William Gates was looking for job probably he would have got selected in IBM and we would have never seen Computer as it is today.
May be I took too big of a example to start with, I will share a incident when I was coming from my office There were two people sitting just behind me and I overheard their conversation he was describing what he is He is a worker who works from 9 to 6 he is no different anyone who works at mill only difference he could find is he is better paid, he had better attitude and more perks than his friend suggested if he wants to get rid of this why he doesn’t start a business he just laughed completely rejecting his advice. And it was quite clear he never thought about starting his own business probably he is happy with his well provided contended life.
Business is not what most consider as source of employment at-least proper source of employment and often scared of it and more often than not help other people to get scared from it too. We all will have our own reasons for not starting our own business from instability of business to challenge it might provide and people who belong to working class wouldn’t even dream to fathom the idea to start a own business. Too absurd too irrational business is only for business class people not service class, You shouldn’t take risk you should just do your job it is not for us and so many other reasons which on practical basis doesn’t event hold ground but they are enough to change minds, scare them for good.
We ask our next generation to be Engineer, CA or so many things ask them to look up to those who are engineer and try to mold the future of kids in the same pattern we want them and as kids look up to us when we look up to those who are engineers they also look up to them they aspire to be another part of this work force.
Above is not only true for people who belong to working class but even too business owners they just want their kids to take over the legacy and perform the same duties they have been performing all this life not looking for something new, often parents of such kind do not adjust well to new ideas by their kids, Well I can't blame them in our society experience in markets matters more than innovation. Innovation or Out of Box thinking stands last in pyramid. And sometimes its wrong too if heir is not talented enough he or she might end up ruining everything what parents has earned till now.
Change is indeed hard for people. Idea of coming out of where we are comfortable to do something which is completely new is not all that tempting at least not to most yup to few for whom monotony is end of life change is all they have.
I also have one question I am asking myself for sometime now, how do we try to make our kids to be entrepreneur. How can we even hope to find this quality its not some quality like of lawyer a kids who always has something for counter argument and always believe and stick to his guns can be a very good lawyer. I have yet to find the answer for same but I guess the difference between a scientist and a entrepreneur is only that he has business perspective along with his madness.
I hope our future is as much as entrepreneur as of engineers and science.
