In schools and colleges, you are taught to follow your dreams rather than money. But often following your dreams doesn't make you enough money to take care of the bare necessities of life. Or many times following your dream cost a lot which many can't afford. And also how does a child cope when their aptitude does not match a particular ambition. The real world doesn't work that way.

The question should not be why to build a fo...

The pandemic brought death to millions and also exposed our unpreparedness to any pandemic-like situations.  We were lacking in our healthcare infrastructure with a lack of medical staff, oxygen, beds, etc. This situation also showed how tough it is to bring in any behavioral change in people.  But as a human being resilient, adaptive, and innovative bravely fought with pandemic by bringing in new lifestyle measures.
