Why does being a second generation has to be such a headache... the pressure of legacy is sometimes too difficult to handle. Especially at times when in most of the cases the second generations fail to live up to the expectations and match the huge shadow of their antecedents. Though for the world, apparently, being a second genration or being one of the subsequent generations is such a lofty idea, most of the time there is this prejudice that everything comes easily, well orginized on a platter for those like us who belong to that particular group, but, only we know how difficult it becomes to do justice to that platter and how impossible it becomes to please the world (which of course isn't very receptive of new and is always reluctant to get the old overshadowed). So, I see in front of me an immensely difficult time in matching up the expectations and getting out of the shadow to create my own niche, but I'm determined and god willing I someday will. It might be difficult but it's not impossible. and as R H Schuller says... I'M-POSSIBLE :)
Wow.. you're so motivated. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, about things on platter and that being tagged as easy, that's unfair for sure. However, it is the human tendency to feel that he's the one handed with the tough life; which definitely is never the case. Every single thing in life is subjective, and we make it even more complicated by creating the 'relative' part of it.
The best part is that you know what you're doin' ;)
I wish I could be as motivated as you are. :)
