A child is born, not only as child to his parents, but a grandchild to the grandparents and their hope of continuing their generations to come. Whether a person has a successful career or is living a happy life, he / she has to perform the different duties which are expected from the position he occupies at the home, at office among friends, in the social community and in the economy at large. The realization of the responsibilities of the numerous roles, planning and strategizing for their fulfillment and achieving the success in these roles leads to the mastery of balance in life (Feldman, 2008).

The college they choose is based on their research on the rankings and valuation of the academic standing of the college. After the college they plan the University or further certification in their areas of interest.

When pursing a job, a career oriented person looks for a job which compliments his academic qualification. The following of his career instill responsibility of not only achieving his own goals but also the goal of the family. He understands that he has the responsibility to rise up to the expectation his family and he strives more to achieve excellence in his work.
