CMV: I think "following your dreams" is bad advice to give kids.

I think the "following your dreams" mentality breeds entitlement, where young people won't put forth their full effort in a job that isn't their "dream".  They think that whatever job they have is beneath them and therefore isn't worthy of honest day's work. Or worse, if their dream is unrealistic or not possible due to extenuating circumstances, they feel like they will now live an unfulfilled life.

Why not place the emphasis on how to encourage children to try their best  at whatever they do, be responsible citizens, and work to create a better life for everyone in their community. 

I feel like our country is turning into hyper-individualistic nation. Just go to any inspiration quote website and the messages all boil down to " fuck everyone else and their opinions do what you think is right, follow your own path fuck everyone else, don't be considerate of other people, fuck people if they get in your way". 

Also, instead of following your "dreams", we need to give students more guidance and wisdom, help them set goals, and work towards being productive members of society.

I think you are fundamentally misunderstanding the concept of the "follow your dreams" mentality. It's not about feeling entitled to stardom but to not give up on yourself and to be willing to reach for greatness even if we can't all get there. Many of humanity's greatest achievements started as dreams. Also not all dreams are self-centered.

Imagine the parents who dreamed of a day when they didn't have to fear for their children's lives when they got sick? Vaccines helped make that dream real. A person being able to fly was once considered a joke, but then the Wright Brothers made dreams come true with the invention of the airplane. Less than 100 years later humans walked on the Moon, something many thought was beyond even their wildest dreams.

If it wasn't for dreamers who never gave up, the world wouldn't be as great as it is today.
