1) The author recounts his childhood dream of becoming a banker because he thought bankers were rich, and being guided by his parents and teachers into studying biochemistry for 8 years despite not finding joy or passion in it. 2) He realized he was not fulfilling his potential by blindly following the path laid out for him, and decided to search for his true self and purpose in life, finding his passion for entrepreneurship and internet marketing. 3) He argues that children should be given more freedom to explore different career options when young so they can consciously choose a path that fulfills them, rather than having parents and teachers decide for them based on biases like money.
