The idea began in the author's mind while discussing with children the question, 'What do you want to be in the future?' or 'What would you like to do when you grow up?'. The answers from kindergarten and first-grade children were a shrug of the shoulders or a mumble, which meant they didn't have a name for the job they liked.

The second point that intrigued me was when I was discussing with university students who attributed their failure in career prediction to unemployment, and some of them emphasized a term they called 'Vitamin W', meaning the need for connections (wasta). I was disappointed by the prevalence of this professional thinking among children, followed by the professional thinking of university students. This means a university student finishes their studies with no light at the end of the tunnel they entered.

The loss of children's thinking, the feeling of helplessness, and the lack of words and names to describe what they love. And the loss of young people's thinking, having no hope for a job, or feeling ashamed of the skills or competencies they possess that could help them shape a career after university. I attributed the cause of this loss in both children and youth to a loss of identity regarding their abilities and potential, self-awareness, knowledge of future-shaping possibilities, and the lack of sufficient capability in children, as well as a lack of situations expected to sharpen a young person's potential during their studies and university qualification.

This grim reality of a child's professional thinking is caused by society's treatment of the child, perceiving them as small and helpless. The lack of respect for children leads to the community's failure to build the foundations of the future and wasting the child's potential. The bleak reality of young people's thoughts about themselves and their expectations for the future will lead to creating aimless youth, with no points of light in their minds at the end of any tunnel.

The way out of this dilemma lies in helping the child to reveal the seed of their professional thinking, and nurturing it to grow and strengthen in the form of simple practices and preferences, however basic. It also involves helping young people understand their potential and abilities, even if it comes late. As experts say, nothing is ever too late.

Starting to care for and develop children's professional thinking, and increasing opportunities for them to express it clearly, will solve the dilemma of professional failure for youth in the future. This is the great goal of this book, hoping for a generation of children who walk with great points of light ahead of them at the end of every tunnel they enter, tunnels they had no hand in entering or avoiding. It's about moving them from passivity to decision-making in everything they want to achieve in the future. I hope this book acts as a lamp in the hand of every child as they enter dark and mysterious tunnels. This, God willing, will be achieved when the teacher adopts a positive role in helping children achieve these ambitions and dreams.
