Son: Hello, dad! How are you? 

Father: I am fine beta, how are you? You came late from school today why? 

Son: I am fine too. Yes, Dad, our exams are going to be held so extra classes were there. When did you come? 

Father: I came when you were in school. 

Son: How was your office meeting Dad? 

Father: Fantastic and you know what? I got promoted. 

Son: Ohh!! Congratulations dad. Now you can increase my pocket money also na!! 

Father: Yes I can but I won’t. Because you spend a lot of time outside and just hang out here and there. 

Son: But why? 

Father: Because You aren’t focusing on your studies and this is your board year you remember right? 

Son: Yes I know. But Dad, I’ll start focusing na!! 

Father: Beta, I’ll increase only if you get first division on the coming exams. And if you score well I’ll increase your pocket money. 

Son: OK Dad I’ll work hard and will give my best to get first division. 

Father: Good beta. Study for the knowledge not for marks. 

Son: OK Dad, but what if I get knowledge and can’t score high? 

Father: If you gain knowledge then it is so obvious you can score high easily. 

Son: Oh Yes Dad. Now I’ll focus and concentrate more on my studies to make a bright future. 

Father: I liked your spirit, beta.

Son:Thanks. What do you think dad, what will I become or what is my future? 

Father: Beta, it should be your choice. 

Son: What does it mean, Dad? 

Father: I mean, What do you get interested in, what work do you enjoy or what work has a good future? 

Son: Oh! Yes. 

Father: Your first step will be what subject you will choose in your 11th grade. Right? 

Father: You should not follow the herd mentality, do what you want. 

Son: Yes Dad, I will take care of all the things you mentioned. Thanks, Dad, for guiding me.
