SAMPLE ANSWER
A generation ago, people worked hard to get a respectable job in their hometown and settle with their parents. With globalisation making its way to our homes, people explored new areas in search of better opportunities. However, we have now shifted towards an era where people want to work for themselves. I completely disagree with this idea.
Firstly, it should never be about following an idea of someone else. So, if an X person got successful after opening their own company, it does not necessarily guarantee you success as well. Even more, every individual has their own unique talents and one should always work on their strengths. For example : if Sachin Tendulkar thought about opening a company of cricket equipment we could have had the best company for cricket equipages but surely not the God of cricket.
Secondly, a market is best run when their is a balance of individual goals. If everyone started having their startups we would be left with few who would run it, resulting in lot of failures. Thirdly, starting a company demands time and patience with no guarantee of success. If in a society every individual starts struggling, the society in large will suffer on quality of life.
In conclusion, although it is common belief that the net worth of a person is the best parameter of success, I believe every one must pick the juggle that fits best in their puzzle of their life.
