What do you want to be?

Never in your college days you have a clarity of what lies ahead in your career. You are most bothered regarding the opportunities you foresee as a part of campus placements, an up gradation in your academic profile( PG, Ph.D), Entrepreneurship etc. But how many of us see ourselves as a professional in our area of expertise and a machine for producing the designs/tools/hardware/software we are skilled to produce. Have we thought about what are we capable of and where can we reach through our capabilities? Have we done our capability assessment? Have we ever mapped a road map for our career according to our capability assessment and point out areas of improvement and set a GOAL in our careers? And are we really passionate and dreamy about that? |Why are we always trapped in what others are doing and what is set by society to follow. After all, following the mistakes of billion others wont satisfy us? Then where to begin and where to set ahead. I am not talking about stopping whatever you are doing and do something really flashy and new in your life. My point is that do we really understand what we are doing in our careers and can we do better than this? This question has been in my mind since ages and thankfully now I find myself on a road to find an answer to it and implement in my career (Atleast I really believe so).
My challenge is to all those who have dreams in their eyes and who are capable to do marvels in their career. Our nation’s destiny depends on us and we as proud Indians should not undermine our potential and be trapped in the social career circle of lives. There is an awareness in this topic recently. Much of us have seen the movie 3- Idiots in which Mr. Rathod follows an ideology in his life, which sets an example for youth to follow. Its not always about instant money, high rewards, big degrees, promotions that career is all about. Its about the contribution that you give to society and build an economy which depends on you, the career is about. If you know you are right on track, just ignore the message. Abdul Kalam has rightly pointed out the potential of Indian youth in his book ” The Ignited Minds “, an inspiring reading for every young Indian indeed. He says why are we afraid of doing things differently. Is it because we are scared of standing in a desert without company and feel that we may run out of food,water,supplies we have? Is it because we are much afraid of failures and less tempted by the success? This is something to be thought of my friends. I just thought to share this feeling through this instant blog today and ease out my thoughts with you .
And while you are at thinking about it, go have a snack and a juice, it cools off your head easily .
Have a good day indeed.
