I had my close friend Gita. She was very intelligent ,after she finished her M. Sc degree she appeared for CSIR examination to go for higher studies. Before CSIR result could come she was invited by school to teach science to secondary classes.
Afre few months her parents got her married into good family. She was happy in the in laws family.
After few months her CSIR result was out and she came out with flying colors in exam.
She discussed with her husband and in laws family that she wishes to go for higher studies for which CSIR will give her fellow ship. Her husband agreed to her request but in laws were not in favor of this decision.
One obvious reason was after higher studies Gita may get job in outside city. For that in laws family were not ready for same. Another reason was financial, that is fellow ship amout for higher studies was less than salary which Gita was getting as school teacher.
Gita understood petty thinking of her in laws family. She went for higher studies for which she was never appreciated by her in laws.
Gita was fortunate after finishing her higher studies she immediately got lecturer position in college. That full filled her dream. Her in laws were also very happy for same.
Moral of story is petty thinking is like hurt foot which will never let one move forward.
