Not everyone needs to follow the same path

I learned about this fact 'not everyone needs to follow the same path' from 'Whisper of the Heart' movie.



Shizuku, a smart, book-worm, cheeky, creative and friendly girl, had an ambition to start writing a novel while she was still studying at the Junior High School. 

She's been motivated to do something meaningful at the final year of her Junior High School that can lead to her future career. However, rather than having such a smooth process on pursuing her dream, she has created a big mess at home and school that deteriorate her relationship with friends, teachers and family gradually. She has poured so much time and energy to work on her story without listening to other people advices. Shizuku's other motivation was just as good as her talented beau, Seiji Amasawa. 

Her mom and sister were furious, but her dad has learned that Shizuku's different intention could be something positive. She just need a chance to prove it. Her dad convinced Suzuku's mom that 'not everyone needs to follow the same path'...

This is enlightening. 

As an educator, I got this point, that everybody is special. He/she doesn't need to follow other people's career path. 

Instead of asking students to do something generic, I must learn that every personality has their own plan for the future. However, I feel, sometimes they could do more, so that's why I want them to prepare their future well. This will add more options to their future plan. 

An educator could only introduce them to many different options and opportunities, but they future really depends on their own personal capability and preference, eventually.

Pekanbaru,
