people who make girls their puppets by threatening and making
them believe that they would not look modern or advanced if they do
not follow what the guy says. You do not have to get caught in this
web. You have to be intelligent, and avoid getting brainwashed in
this way.
There will be days when you will have to do a lot of household work,
which will leave you tired, and with very less time for studies. If you
are from a middle-class family you can politely request your parents
to keep a domestic help so that you can save your time and focus on
your studies. But if they are incapable of keeping a domestic help
then it becomes your duty to help out your parents in managing the
house. In this scenario you can listen to audio lessons through your
headphones and later on, when you get time you can take up the
subjects which require you to sit and study or solve questions,
(subjects like mathematics). If you really want to make a career, you
will have to invest all the time you get (apart from your working time)
into studies. Do not waste time in watching TV shows or chatting
with your friends. Time is a luxury you cannot afford. Many of my
students have followed this formula and have been successful. You
too shall be.
Career is the most important aspect of your life—you will have to
keep it above any other person. Career is your only religion.
Whatever takes you a step closer to your dream job should be
important to you, and whatever does not, should not concern you.
