Decades of old beliefs, superstitions and rituals are being performed these days and are followed blindly without questioning their rationale.

Parents sometimes force their children to select a career they don't want because other children have selected that career.

Girls are made to follow some rituals in their family which makes no sense to them at all. Worst of all, people follow them without even asking. There is no harm in old rituals and beliefs but when you pursue them before your interest, sooner or later you'll realize that you should first do what you think is right.

女孩们在家里要守一些对她们来说无任何意义的规矩。最糟糕的是，人们连问都不问，就这样做。老规矩和旧习俗并无什么害处，但当你在感兴趣之前就去做时，不久你就会意识到你应该先做自己认为是正确的事情。
