I disagree that each person has the right to choose their own path in life.

[Ndabagi01]

Since the beginning of human history, the world's most powerful family has held distinct perspectives and shaped their offspring's trajectories. A hundred years ago, the best farmers, hunters, drummers, and other professions came from Africa. It was believed that a child born into such a family must have a certain gift from birth and fulfill a certain role in life.

In families of elite like that, the children born into those families are already birthed into riches, so it will be easy for their parents to convince them that their own path to achieving that wealth was through the means of livelihood they chose and so the children can easily give in. In fewer cases, children from such families are given the right to chose what they want to do and their parents give them all the support they want while in many cases, they just have to follow the footsteps of their parents because the parents think it’ll b easier for the children and easier for them to also groom them into becoming what they wanted. In a normal circumstance, no one should be forced but rather advise or given options when they seek to for one in the path they feel will make them successful in life.

Even though it's right to allow everyone follow thier part in life, while a child is growing up, is knowledge about the society isn't strong enough to have suggested that he can comfortably face a part he wants for himself and work all the way up in the part. At some point, he needs to be guaded and directed on some fundamentals else he misses his part. We've seen children who just love the celebrity lifestyle and decide they want to go into music. Some don't even have the talent but are just after the firm the see that comes from being a popular start and if they are left to follow such part on their own, they might end up missing it big in the later part of life.

Fo kids that are very skilled and obviously talented in a particular craft from a tender age, most of them don't even know that they are all that gifted and the talent might not be all that refined at the early stage and the parent need to be the one that will guide then and help refine thier skills and talent into something tangeable in the real world. What's the issue is when you want to just force your child into fulfilling the dream you weren't able to and even though he isn't interested in following that part, you still go on to force him to following that part. Their is always a balance to whatever we do and so choosing a path to follow isn't just a parents thing or what the child can all by himself. It requires collaboration and the needed support that will see to the actualization of such goal.

We are living in a society where everyone is entitled to choose his own path of life. Of a truth in time past a child born into a family that is predominantly know for farming eventually follows that path but in recent times even a child born into a family with distinct profession chooses not to toe the line of his parents. For example the children of ex-nigerian international Kanu Nwankwo choose against toeing the line of there father and they are doing well in their choose profession. Furthermore, as an individual i come from a family where everyone is predominantly know for being science professions like surveyor, engineer and mathematician but I became the first to toe the line of art profession because of mine own abilities which further tells us that everyone is entitled to choose his own path.

YES it is true that people's interests, abilities and characters are different. If parents give motivation and direction it is because they want the person to have a clear goal and process, because people's passions are different, of course we have the right to choose and pursue it. The big mistake is to impose too much will so that it is uncomfortable and results in the individual acting at will and not infrequently will feel indifferent to his responsibilities.

Even apart from the world of sports, there are such as politics, musicians or state apparatus. Many are like that in my country too. Maybe it's a form of quick response to maintain the popularity and ratings that have been formed in the past from glory to the present and continue it even though it's a different generation, it could be . It should be like that, so that history and struggle can be remembered.

We are influenced directly or indirectly by parents, relatives or any body, in today's life even online the influence continues..
We are not free at all.. Just that sometimes people giving the influence does it with bias mostly parents, with motives that might not necessarily fit in later on...
And this influence do not normally have end. It continues irrespective of age, sex or whatever. The remaining thing is the awakening of this individual to either build on intentionally on this already existing path or create something else...
But this influence done with freewill will not be any far from their reality...

It is said that everyone has the freedom to choose their own path in life, but the reality of today's world is completely different; the most powerful individuals in it now pressure their children to follow in their footsteps. Consider the best footballer in the world like Messi and Ronaldo from a different angle. Their children play football; are you arguing that this is their destiny or that their parents are pressuring them against their will?

You can't actually force someone of what he dislikes to beginning to like of a sudden, because you can force an horse to the stream but you can't force him to drink water everything is been written in every human foreheads what you gonna become in future and what's yet to become of you,but nowadays people don't want to hear this anymore they only pressured to become what they want you to become,my father can want me to study medicine while I personally don't want to, I chose music . cause music is my life many young youths are into music tho abilities and some character are different everyone as his or her chose and dreams they are after we only pray for our dreams to come true to make our parents proud.

OP if you say that you disagrees that each person should be responsible for choosing his own path, then who should take that responsibility for us, no matter how it appears on us that we found ourself in, we should never give up and continue in struggle for excellence, we can rewrite anything about our own self, only if we are determined for such, it may cost us, but we can achieve success if we give the demands needed.

Arnold Vosloo and Charlize Theron come from South Africa, don't they?

But Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, and his brother, Nikolai, were born in Russia.

Telegram seems to have 900 million users, because they all want privacy, and freedom. And that is what Pavel and Telegram offer them.

In a normal society everybody should have the option of pursuing their own dreams & goals. They shouldn’t be restricted in any type of career of lifestyle choices. Religion stops some people doing certain things but it’s not right, we should all be able to freely make our own choices.

Is not that people are not choosing the kind of lifestyle they want to leave or their dream. However, I believe with the fact that you said religion get people restricted from some things even if they want to do it, and this is because this are the things that will no help people lives here,  and after their death. although I don’t know the type of religion you practice that made you said is not right for them to get restricted by their religion, and I don’t know the reason behind this your sentence too, I think religion should control some certain things in our lives to avoid calamity, and some other negative things that will not impact positively in our lives. So for you to say is not right that way I i think you are wrong.
