children should strive to do what makes them happy. your life is your life. no matter how much others want to take control of your life outcome you are the one who actually makes the choice. people are much more productive and live longer lives if they are happy with their career.
Sometimes yes but only if that is what makes them happy because you will have a miserable life if you are just going about and trying to make everyone else happy and not caring or thinking about what makes you happy
I think that children should make themselves happy. If that sometimes goes against what the parents want then a compromise maybe in order. In the long run, the child has to lie with their own decisions, so let them be happy.
That depends on the situation. If the child wants to do what their parents expect them to do, then absolutely. However, if the child has no desire to do what their parents envision them doing, then they should do what they want because in the end, its their life.
They should strive to do better than their parents. you want your parents to be proud of you which is the case most of the time. But some people think the way to make their parents proud of them is to do as good if not better
If the parent is a good influence and a person of various knowledge, then it should be their goal to put the thought and want to do better than whatever the parent does. For example, one of my many goals in life is to do better than what my parents have ever done, and i will have the same expectation for my children when they get to that point in their life, in fact i will help them do better than i as much as i can.
No, I don't think it's necessary to live up to the parent's expectations. A child should strive to exceed their own expectations and do what they feel makes them happy regardless of what another individual thinks or feels. You're ultimately responsible for your choices, not others.

I personally do my best to live up to my parents' expectations. When you please your parents they are more trusting of you.

I disagree. I think the child should choose what they want to do because it's ultimately their decision. They should do what makes them happy.

People should strive to achieve their goals. parents can guide but they shouldn't be the choosing factor.
