Every Child has a Dream – Nurture It!
Prim K. Tumuramye
‘So, what will you actually be
doing in your said career roles? I asked them.
I will be digging in my garden,
the digger man said! It’s then that it occurred to me that his job was farming,
his tittle literally translated from one who digs. The fixer man elaborated
that he will be fixing shoes. Probably he wanted to be a shoemaker or cobbler.
My girl explained that she would be the mother of babies.
‘What kind of dreams and
aspirations are these?’ I silently wondered. I reflected back on my childhood
days. I remembered that we all wanted to become doctors, lawyers, pilots,
engineers and all the ‘cool’ professions we can think of. Here I was with three
little beings, dreaming to be farmers, shoemakers, and mothers.
Are my children destined for
failure? Absolutely not! My children can work towards achieving their dreams of
doing seemingly ‘uncool’ jobs yet live very happy and fulfilling lives. Imagine
if my son was to become the best farmer in the world! Think about if the little
boy who dreams of nothing but being a fixer man ended up as the best shoemaker
the world ever witnessed. If this girl who dreams of being a mother became the
best mother in the world, how different would her offsprings be? The world is
not devoid of females who can give birth to children. Rather, the world is
suffering from a hitherto crisis of females who are not ready to be mothers in
the real sense of the word. That is why society continues to grapple with
children living broken lives, feeling unloved and abandoned. I would be proud
to mother the best mother the world is yet to witness.
We concluded our career talk with
a review of the values that enhance success, irrespective of one’s vocation. I
reminded my little ones about the virtues of stewardship, accountability, and
integrity. As they scampered off to go and play in the afternoon sun, I smiled
to myself, thinking about how lucky I was to be their mother. As they run,
giggled and laughed in the sun, I said a silent prayer for them that God would
indeed grant them the desires of their hearts.
It’s not only me that has
children with dreams. Every human being has aspirations for tomorrow. Do you
know your child’s dream? Do you know what they would wish to become in the future?
What are you doing to help them walk the journey towards achieving their dream?
Sometimes we are misled to think that the future is better left to fate. The
future is in our hands. If we are to plan for the future well, we must invest
our energies in preparing the people that will live in this future. Children
are our future; let’s nurture their dreams.

In this fashion my friend Wesley Virgin's adventure begins in this SHOCKING and controversial VIDEO.
ReplyDeleteWesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he revealed hidden, "MIND CONTROL" tactics that the government and others used to obtain whatever they want.
These are the same secrets many famous people (notably those who "come out of nowhere") and top business people used to become rich and successful.
You probably know how you use only 10% of your brain.
That's really because the majority of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.
Perhaps that thought has even occurred INSIDE your own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head seven years ago, while driving an unregistered, beat-up bucket of a car with a suspended driver's license and with $3.20 on his bank card.
"I'm very frustrated with living check to check! Why can't I become successful?"
You took part in those types of conversations, am I right?
Your success story is going to start. You just have to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
