Follow Your Heart?

Perhaps most of us have come across stories of parents trying to ‘give’ their kids some talent. I am referring to situations where some children are engaged in not one but several extra curricular activities all at the same time. In some cases, it may be activities that the child is really inclined to do but is something that the parents want their child to have or do. I think that such efforts would be challenged in reaching the best outcome. I could imagine it is difficult to teach a boy to play piano when his inclination is on say, soccer. So for parents thinking of following their (own) heart, it may be a good idea to think again.
