People without vision perish, unless they switch to a blind desktop, like blinux, oralux, orca, and so on.
people without hearing perish, unless they learn to read lips and sign language. that is a vision, a linux distro to learn to read lips and sing language.

@Harry,
Yes it is a vision problem. More than that, the problem I see is that, as mentioned in the post, people allow their parents and relatives to take decisions for them and override their personal vision. The root cause, I guess, would be that their vision was not strong in the first place :-)

Not sure whether providing all opportunities to learn and freedom to map abilities to opportunities etc were the causes. Sorry, I don't mean to hurt your Vision in any way.
My experience is also similar. I think, Employees working in smaller companies in technology sector, have a very fast learning curve since they have all opportunities to learn. When they reach threshold of learning, suddenly they think about their market worth and forget about Vision / Mission etc.
Youngsters do not have the patience to wait & see. (Vision problem)

@Srikanth

Thanks for your words of encouragement. Regarding the vision problem in the young generation, I would attribute it more to social conditioning than an age related issue.

Take the simple case of a young man/woman living with his parents. The young fellow will not have to take any critical decisions under such a scenario. So how in the world will he ever learn to do that?

Vision is also similar. Unless you let your mind roam free, you will not get that. Under restrictive environments that does not happen.

Yet another problem is the collective decision making habits. Yes, these systems provide a safety net for young people by preventing extreme failures but at the same time it will prevent extreme successes as well.

Hi
It is difficult to take a critical look at one's own brainchild. Reading the first two paragraphs of this blog, you have done that. It always gives a sense of balance in what one is doing to have a periodical critical look (or should i call it self introspection ?) at what one is doing to have a good appreciation of where one wants to reach.

Then ,the other comment about not having firm conviction about the ideas. I would not call it peculiar kerala phenomenon as you have described. I would rather put it as the dilemma of the younger generation (starting from late teens to early thirties. Afterwards it matters little). But keep the flame burning to light the way for scores of youngsters!
Regards

Srikanth
