Actually, yes, I did have this kind of experience. When I was little, my mother wanted me to go to piano class in that learning piano and becoming a pianist is her life span dream. I was too ignorant and innocent at that time and didn’t know where my real interest is therefore I just agreed to take this class and tried to fulfill my mother’s great ambition. Although I felt quite hard when I was practicing the fingering, however, I think it worth because my painstaking effort did help me a lot when I decided to turn to my real interest, guitar and singing.
Now I recall all of this experience, though it’s not from my will at first, but I still glad that I accepted my mother’s suggestion without hesitation. After all, it really established a good sense and foundation of music for me. So I think if we can view things with different angel, we may find that it’s actually beneficial to us.

Yes. I agree with your opinion because I also have similar experience when I was an elementary school student. When I was in my third grade, my mom required me to go to Hess for studying English two to three times a week. I was really unhappy because I couldn't play or watch cartoons after school but have to drag my tired body and spend almost three hours to study English. I felt exhausted and I asked my mom could I just stop going Hess because I was bored and had no interest on it. However, my mom just ignored my request and strictly insisted for keeping my English learning until I was graduated from elementary school. At that period of time, I was angry because I thought my mom didn't care about my feelings but forced me to do things I really didn't want to.
However, after I entered in junior high school, I changed my point of view because I suddenly became the assistant of our English teacher in class which based on my English outraged ability. Before exams, I usually didn't have to prepare for English since I had a pre-learning in Hess which really improved my English a lot and I could pass it easily.
Until now, English has became my major and I never stop my learning on it. My ability on English also brings me more opportunities to have contact with new things and meet more friends around the world. I really appreciate what my mom was doing for me for maintaining my ability and make me have broader path from my journey of life.
Most of time, we will be mad at what people have done for us without inquiring our opinion previously. We often think it is “we” do the effort for them and thus have to sacrifice our time and freedom in order to satisfy their ambition. Our stereotype often leads to some quarrel and more misunderstanding. However, if we can calm down and deliberate it wisely, we can find that it is, actually, beneficial to us. Whether we like it or not, our effort will accumulate day by day and eventually become our own experience and capacity. As to me, I don’t know if I can be a musician or a pianist, but now I think those experiences do work to me. Although we cannot absolutely find out the advantage of those effort and sacrifice, I still think they will pay back some day within our life time.
