How I discouraged her:
It's not always possible to achieve what you need,one of these days a best friend of mine came up to me and said after her high school degree she wanted to do research on a genetic disease starting with 'p'.I'm not trying to cover up the name of the disease but I forgot it's name,no offence.
She really liked the idea and for me it was simply too vague to waste time on,I'm not being rude or judgmental about her career choice,I truly support her,but I just wanted her to find a way to what she loves.
It's is never easy to always do what you love,after few years I might end up an accountant typing digits into a computer, but what matters is creating a base for what you love.So this post is dedicated to my best friend Brunda Nagaraj .No matter who ever tells you wrong,go ahead with what you want.
Even though what she wanted was to research on a rare genetic disorder that affects like negligible population,I truly wanted to show her a way,I admire her passion because in this selfish world so little people even care about rare diseases that wouldn't matter to them.I am glad that I find people like her willing to sacrifice a lifetime for the cause.I couldn't do it even if I tried..so hats off!
This isn't a story of discouragement,it is a story about supporting a dream.For,I can tell she will face zillion obstacles,and I believe she would face them all.She will be that girl who could say,"No one supported me,but I knew I will find the treasure.
