Mai Kya Karoon…Mai Kya Karoon…????
I was searching for the meaning of “Career” on Google and when I got the
answer from Google Pudia (WikiPedia).I laughed for 10 mins at a stretch.They define “Career is an individual's journey through learning, work
and other aspects of life”. But for an Indian it is not Individual..it is
moreover Family Centric : HUM SAATH SAATH HAI.
What Oxford
English Dictionary defines
as "Course or progress through
life" (or a distinct portion of life).
But how we generally choose career..?
India is the only country where Career path is first decided by our
family (mostly) and then by us (Some are still unlucky in this aspect).I think we should not blame our parents & family because they did what they thought of giving BEST.
But What about New People….New Graduates & New Engineers who are
thinking to make their name in this world. I do regularly get queries from
students asking about Which Career is the best…?
How can I decide which type of clothes fits one as you are unique in
health, weight, size & shape? But Surely I can help you on Fabrics of
different clothes which can help you, for selection or can help you understand
which clothes are suitable for which personalities or maybe How can one make a mind before trying some New Outfit...So that YOUR LIFE WILL ALSO BECOME HAPPY
LIFE (as we see in Sooraj Badjatya’s movies…Everything seems to be so happy and
Goody..Goody...).Hope I am making sense. I will be sharing You My Top 6 Life Learning
about Career Selection.
- INTROSPECTION: Understand Yourself, If You are aware about Yourself, Your are aware about the world. Don’t be Rude/harsh to Yourself..Just identify in what areas you are good at and by doing this don’t connect or try to connect your strengths to your career or any career immediately. Take Time & Vomit Your Mind. Scrub all the corners of mind. The understanding of oneself helps a lot in deciding
WHATWHICH is THE PATH for ME..?
- Things which You can’t do or doesn’t like to do: There are different things which we don’t like or don’t want to do…Like Some people don’t like to spend time in office after 5 PM. Someone may like working on Sundays (Workoholic type).Someone may think , Working alone is not best. Some budding people may not like to meet New People. These all decides ‘WHERE TO GO..?’
- Money-Sunny or Passion-Tashan: I feel there are two major ways to LIVE LIFE. First Do what others are doing, put hard work and earn handsome salary by doing MNC Jobs. By this you can enjoy Money-Sunny, means you can use, buy and enjoy the “21st century leisure life” by all means. The other way is Identify Your Passion & Make it your Career or livelihood. By Passion-Tashan You can satisfy your soul. There are some `Idiot` people in this world who work on this path. Both the paths are Right & Wrong.Depends upon your thinking and how you are taking it.
- YOU : Born Passionate (My Favorite): .Let me give you a simple difference between Passion & Hobbies. Hobbies are those which You like to do…although, if doesn’t get chance to do then its OK for You. But Passions is something, you cannot live a single day without and love to working on regularly. THINK WHAT YOU THINK DAILY…It may turn out to be your passion.Do You have Passion of something from childhood like Writing, Sporting, Painting, Speaking, Debating, Talking, Chatting, Managing, Cooking, Running, Helping, Understanding New Technology, Welcoming Guests, teaching, reading or Leading. Every mentioned activity has some uniqueness…which you can connect with your career. Say suppose If you like ‘Helping People’ then you can connect easily with your Passion/Profession. You can establish your NGO or can become part of Great NGOS in India or abroad.(Example : ‘Goonj’-An NGO formed by an IIT Pass out which helps people, he had an passion of helping people. Now the No.1 NGO in India , which helps people who are facing difficult time due to Natural Calamities Goonj reached recently in Nepal also.Or you can also establish your company to help people to get jobs. In this case my question to you is “What Kind of help You wanted to do..?” .If you can specify the type of Help…the you can specify the Profession also. In this way your passion can decide or help you to decide your career. But before doing anything extra, you must do some basic activities..which I am sharing in Next Post.
- Risk Taking Appetite: How much heavy & spicy food, you can digest..I mean to say How much thoughts or comments of other People can be digested by You. Say You decide to do develop an application for students immediate after your graduation. And for that you are doing an Entrepreneurship Course immediately after your graduation. People may be shocked by saying you are fool as you are doing Entrepreneurship after your Engineering. Parents may or may not be with you. Some people can digest these heavy, sharp thoughts/comments but not all. So My question to you,” Before Doing anything Extra or Different, have you increased your appetite??”It is same as before lifting a heavy weight in Gym, Instructor asks us to do little Warm-Up so that It should not harm your muscles. In same manner, Make-Up Your Mind for doing extra (if you are doing) and read, live, follows the people who are doing it. It will help you to increase the strength of your mind.
Still confused about what to do.. A Job which is my hand or
Identify Passion or Listen to my heart or Earn Money..?????
I started writing this long article to share some FOUNDATION
STONES which makes your Life little Crispy & little Crunchy…As You know We
started our journey by INTROSPECTION,
and Identified ‘Things which We doesn’t like to do’, and then help us to
understand…which is Important for us ‘Money-Sunny or Passion-Tashan’. After
this Step…People are really moved to understand their PASSION and before
directly jumped on Passion, We increased our Risk Taking Appetite.
And the last…If You are still confused…then here is the LAST
PUNCH which never fails:
- Confused People will get Safety Shelter only if they flow or walk with the flow: If you are confused that you have some passion or not, having difficulty in identifying the passion or confused that Doing Job is Best or Doing Study is Best. What I suggest here is Start walking First then it will be decided by Nature where we have to turn. Sometimes we have New paths or New curves or New Destination are available in next square..And for reaching that Next Square You have to START WALKING. So GRAB THE OPPORTUNITY WHICH IS WITH YOU RIGHT NOW. (if You are confused what to do..?) Eventually you will discover some New things in Life once you cross or get some experience. Don’t Panic, Be with Flow for the Time. It will help you to reach New Places, New Avenues and New Ventures. Believe Me, NATURE HAS POWER TO SHOW YOU THE RIGHT PATH.
I will be happy to solve your queries....Will be back with some New Freshness & New Insights of Life...Till that Time...
