beautifully said.
i totally agree with you and its such a shame that the nature of the education system we face not just in india but also in nigeria and so many part of the world, kills the dream of most people as well as limit the potentials of the people who go through it, many of us who dont quickly identify with ourselves that this system is failing end up living miserable and only with regrets years later after going through this process and realise it was jsut a waste of years.
Funny how we all get graduated from the university and start thinking of what to do in life or where to begin, most end up working in firms or doing jobs not because they want or love it but just to pay bills and after retirement they regret their dreams not achieved.

I imagine a world where everyone is accepted and appreciated for what he is naturally and what he wants to be, without regards to what his/her parents desires of him or what the society expects and not because of the idea of high pay jobs or just to pay bills.
He or she would do well and excel in her field and as well enjoy every moment of anything he or she finds himself doing.
Just as the example you gave, the society may classify ronaldo an illiterate or a drop out having not graduate through the university, however ronaldo started his career as early as his 8 years of age and ever since then he fully developed himself in that line of field and became great and successful, lol imagine ronaldo ended up being a lecturer, hahahhahaha, no one would have displayed those skills and tactics and a legend such as him would have never been heard of, well that's education as education is a learning process which necessarily not need be tied to school.
imagine we all pursue our dreams at early ages we all would be like Ronaldo in our diverse feed and career.
Thanks for the post dear and i pray the world realizes its hightime they dump the current education system in the thrash and upgrade.
