“Do I have chance to be better and bigger leader than all existed or existing or will exist?” A thought provoking question by children, the biggest thought leaders of the world

“Do I have chance to be better and bigger leader than all existed or existing or will exist?” A thought provoking question by children, the biggest thought leaders of the world

 I keep meeting many children and they are the biggest thought leaders in the world, than any existing that we know and will know and we had.

It was already assumed that none of us and them, were against any of these leaders and they accepted the great contribution to society by these leaders, but, thinking beyond and out of the box is not allowed and hence, these children, when taxed by seniors came to me and then we had this talk. I had faced this kind of talk with my few more friends in 1980's and they also had the same to similar feelings.

 However, this time, it’s a group of children who had been to at least one country outside India…
 “Uncle, we have been to USA and they think no one is as big scientist as Einstein. In U.K. we are told Shakespeare is the greatest. In India we heard Adv. M. K. Gandhiji, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, Patelji, Nehruji, Dr. Hedgewar, …..and in the spiritual world also there are fixed leaders.
In Russia, In China, In Germany, In France, In ….many countries and places …..same case. Also, you touch any field,……in social services, in sports, in Arts, ….you name it and someone big is there and we’re told you can’t be better than them….If you go for business, uncle, there are already some big names, if we do the job….same case….In Military services there are already many field-marshals are there….
Does our upcoming new generation have chance to do something great?
If we don’t have chance to do something great, we won’t enter into Science and Technology or Politics or Literature or Business or Arts or social services or Spirituality or sports …..kinds of worlds…..we’ll do something else where we can be called pioneers and the greatest as these fields are already saturated…..and most of the followers are either short sighted and do not have vision or are too selfish and they do not allow others to grow….”
The new generation understands everything it seems and that too at tender age. They want to do something great….but….got discouraged due to above things….
I had no particular answer when the talk emerged….but, the young minds spoke everything why and where the bottle necks are…..We need to allow them to grow beyond to let this world emerge as the place to live and grow, than to show them that this world is saturated and is on the verge of dying.
 Let’s allow everybody to do something great, then only, we’ll survive or else human civilization is in danger that’s for sure looking at billions dying of hunger or…..environmental change or social issue or scientific issue or…another issue.
