Career Confusions !!

Aim for the sky :)
What is the answer you get when you ask a kid what he/she wants to become when they grow up?  Surely you can't get one answer for this. But whatever the child says it wouldn't think whether it is achievable or not.They just blindly Believe that they will achieve there dreams.
As we start growing up our dreams change, we will start making goals which are simpler to achieve rather than what we are capable of doing. This is the case with most of the people around us. Only few souls will actually take risk, work hard and do much more than what they are capable of, these are the few successful people we have in society. The reason for us not having big dreams may be because
  •  Would be raised in a orthodox family, where you wouldn't have come out of the shell to even think anything big.
  • Just following the conventional study-work routine.
  • Not having a platform to showcase the talents you got.
  • Fear of failing.
  • Waiting for someone else to guide you at every step, which rarely happens.
Now let me come back to the title of the post "career confusion". Everyone of us had to decide at some point of time what career path we are going to choose for rest of our life. There will be lot of confusions for most of us since we don't really know in which career path we will be happy and satisfied. Here I would like to give some points on choosing the career you would be happy with.
  • Do not just blindly listen to parents/friends/relatives on what course you have to do.
  • If you are intelligent but have no special talent like singing, dance, writing etc. , Join the course which has your interesting subject.
  • Do not  forget to keep practising what your passion is (dance, sports, writing), this will keep you happy.
  • Get over the fear of failure, and start up something on your own. As India needs lots of entrepreneurs  and there are many opportunities as well.
I would want to conclude saying that choose what you are really interested in rather just following someone.
You should try and fail but shouldn't fail to try as said by Stephen Kaggwa.
