really?

I have just been listening to a debate about whether parents should push their children into particular careers/uni courses, or allow their children to follow their hearts. Surely if a parent pushes their child into something they are not happy doing they are just moving towards a working life of unhappiness. Our parents have allowed us to make our own choices, whilst offering advice and support. This has led us all to follow very different paths based on things we enjoy and what our intellect will allow. Had we have been forced or heavily encouraged into something our parents wanted and not what we wanted I can't see that we would be as happy as we are.

On another note - apparently left handers die earlier than right handers.
