00:00Sir, if my parents tell me to concentrate on my education, like studying, but I can't
00:05concentrate on it.
00:06So, it means education isn't worth it to concentrate.
00:09Sir, love and parental instruction do not sit very well together.
00:14What you are saying is analogous to saying my parents want me to get married to someone.
00:19How do I concentrate on her?
00:20These two things don't go well.
00:22Also parents, if they have raised the kid well, should realize that beyond a point,
00:26it is counterproductive to offer advice.
00:29The success of the parents lies in leaving the son or the daughter free after a point.
00:35What is it that's worth doing in life?
00:37You must know which course you must enroll in.
00:39And beyond the campus, you must know what is it that really will make you come alive.
00:44Higher education, consultancy, a job in your core area, you must know all these things.
00:48Instead of really knowing these things, we are dependent on the trends or we are dependent
00:54on all kinds of advices.
00:57And that's the prescription to a loveless life.
