Question

All Victor ever wanted to do with his life was be a singer. He didn't pay attention in school, and

he spent all his time at home listening to music and impersonating his idols. His mother tried to
teach him the value of getting an education and having a backup plan. But Victor would respond
the same way every time, "Mom, I won't need to know any of that boring old stuff when I'm
famous. You'll see." There was one major problem with Victor's plan: he wasn't any good at
singing. Victor enjoyed singing so much that he didn't notice the pained look on the faces of
those who endured his singing. Some lied to him and said they liked his singing. Other people
told him to find something else to do with his life. Victor accused those people of being "jealous
haters" and ignored their advice. Soon Victor dropped out of high school to focus on his music
career. The years passed and the doors never opened. What is the theme of this story?

Answer 1

Wait what what the heck

Answer 2

Answer: The theme of this story is preparation is key to succeeding in life.

Explanation: Victor never bothered to have a backup plan for his singing career. He tried going into a career path unprepared in case it didn't work out, not bothering to stay in school. Dropping out of school resulted in less options for Victor as well. Now, without his singing career or an education he is not succeeding as he could have if he stayed in school.
