Las vocaciones tempranas/ Early vocations. Gabriel García Márquez ✍️

Parents are not always prepared for the serious responsibility of identifying early vocations in time, and on the other hand, they are prepared to oppose them.

We parents always want our children to be better than us, although we don't always know how. Not even the children of families of artists are safe from this uncertainty.

In some cases, because the parents want them to be artists like them, and the children have a different vocation.

In others, because the parents did poorly in the arts, and they want to preserve from an equal fate even their children whose undoubted vocation is the arts.

The risk is no less for children from families outside the arts, whose parents would like to start a lineage that is what they could not.

At the opposite extreme, there is no shortage of disgruntled children who learn the instrument secretly, and when their parents discover them, they are already stars of an orchestra of self-taught people.

Los padres no siempre están preparados para la grave responsabilidad de identificar las vocaciones tempranas a tiempo, y en cambio sí lo están para contrariarlas.

Los padres quisiéramos siempre que nuestros hijos fueran mejores que nosotros, aunque no siempre sabemos cómo. Ni los hijos de familias de artistas están a salvo de esa incertidumbre.

En unos casos, porque los padres quieren que sean artistas como ellos, y los niños tienen una vocación distinta.

En otros, porque a los padres les fue mal en las artes, y quieren preservar de una suerte igual aun a los hijos cuya vocación indudable son las artes.

No es menor el riesgo de los niños de familias ajenas a las artes, cuyos padres quisieran empezar una estirpe que sea lo que ellos no pudieron.

En el extremo opuesto no faltan los niños contrariados que aprenden el instrumento a escondidas, y cuando los padres los descubren ya son estrellas de una orquesta de autodidactas.

  4. You know, it’s always a challenging journey. Parenthood is certainly not an easy ride, specially in this era where possibilities and exposure are endless.
    Yes, we parents want our children to be better than us, but the question is how good we are! And are we good enough to try affecting their future?
    I believe nowadays, the best approach is that we support out children by building morals and values like confidence, resilience, empathy, discipline, gratitude, and responsibility and to help them explore different routs and tracks until one of them ticks with their passion.
