Everyone in life have a dream to be someone successful.
From child hood one always has a dream to be some one of value addition. We study hard having dreams to be doctors, engineers, pilots and other big dream career. We put our efforts from primary schools to secondary schools, some holding onto their dreams and some cut off due to various issues.
After we are done with our secondary school education, we have a little hint of what path to follow in terms of careers.
We land to university of our choice but it can be, we are per taking careers which are not our choice.
Our friends and family members think that they can choose what they think is best of us not considering our part of the story. They look at their friends or relatives who are in the same career field and successful and think the same story might apply to us.
Some end up doing the “chosen” courses despite them being not of their choice.
When we succeed doing the course of our choice the criticism doesn’t end. Some look at our nature and ask ‘ are you sure you will succeed in this path’. Others try to persuade us on how the course is not marketable and we might end up wasting ourselves in campus, forgetting that we all don’t know our fate. Even our best friends whom we think we can count on them end up turning their back on us.
Then, what can we do to overcome all this?
By determination and following our passion and desires. Closing our ears from all negatives and filling ourselves with positivity.
Our careers are like farms let irrigate them, weed them and do the best we can to have a great harvest.
