Last few days of the month, holidays and Christmas week and New Year on the Verge. So much happiness, enthusiasm and smiles all around us. Pretty good scenes. Everyone will be enjoying every bit of the moment but after a few days life will come back to its normal pace. I don’t want to lower your enthusiasm or hinder your enjoyable time but just wanted to write about a topic that will surely be on the mind of students who just entered into high schools or passed out from the colleges/Universities. The word ‘Career’ will start trending for the youngsters. It’s just a simple word but defines your whole life. The word does not mean to simply land in a job and start earning money to pay your bills, clear debts or buy new clothes etc. this can’t be done throughout your life but it simply means doing something you love and converting your passion into income. So for the ones who are going to high school will be choosing various streams. Remember that this can prove to be a turning point to shape your career ahead. If you are not clear what to be always take advice and then opt which you find yourself suitable in. It is the period of time when most of us are not clear about our careers, what we really want to be. So it is common that most of us can make a mistake here by choosing the stream by coming in the influence of others. Be decisive in choosing the right one. And the ones who passed out from the colleges have already chosen a particular subject in which they want to advance. Sometimes it can also be misleading in terms that a person might have studied something but wants to do something else now. It is quite common these days. Happened with myself too. With the everyday changing world the concept of studying has not been limited anymore. Earlier the concept of going to college was to obtain a degree, land in a successful job and live a simple and happy life. While today this has totally changed Normal is boring today. There are hundreds and hundreds of options to choose from. No Career is small or big today but most important is your vision regarding what you want to become. From an Artist to a billion dollar company’s CEO you could be anything you want to. Specific courses has been designed to achieve specific positions. So most important part is what you really want to become? Take your time, don’t come under pressure to take one of the most important steps of your life.

Whom to Listen?

When choosing the career which mostly other people try to decide for you, there is a lot of advice that you get. So you might wonder whom to listen? A  Professional from the field you want to opt for, your parents, relatives, friends etc. It totally depends in which position you are- If you are you totally clear regarding one particular field than you have crossed half the path, any advice from a professional of the similar industry will be perk on it. But if you don’t have a single idea of what to do next in life like me and most of us, than get beneficial advice from as much people as you can. Get it from parents, friends, relatives or anyone, but at the same time listen to your heart too. Every one of us a secret artist, listen to that it will be much-much beneficial for you in future. After sometime you will sitting on the sack of advice offered to you, see if you can get something of it but the fact is as you will listen to more and more advice, the artist inside you will get more and more clear what really is made for you or what you are made for. Don’t just do something because everyone said that it is good for you. Follow your Beat.

Be patient-

Whether you are about to join high school or graduated from university or college. During this time you are most likely to be burdened with parents pressure, your personal ambitions or getting a placement for what you joined the college. The students who are just going to high school will be stuck in choosing the stream which others (Family, society and friends) think is correct for you. Be patient in choosing the right stream for you. When you pass out from college there will be a chaos created around you with new decisions/advice/ opportunities forced upon you but don’t let this things dominate you. Relax your mind, be patient and decisive in choosing the right decision for you because this decision will entitle your whole life. Get advice from where you can, search for your related topics its pros and cons, find and accept your likes and dislikes, flaws and then whatever decision you make will be right for you. Give yourself time, don’t hurry up too much.

Family/ Friends/ Society Pressure-

The pressure of the above mentioned things can rise to a certain level when choosing a career for ourselves. Although the final thought should be of the person who has to choose it but these things don’t come so easily. Your parents and your thoughts can be going two separate ways but still you don’t want to hurt them by going against their will. You also thinks of the relatives who will firing questions at you as soon as you choose a career for yourself, and also you have to live in the society for obvious. You get afraid to choose a career which is not considered highly payable or so in the eyes of society. But just sit back and relax for a moment, just think that all these factors or people who are questioning your decision or criticizing it- Are they going to live your life? The answer is simply No. They will talk about you for a day, a week or a month but eventually will not care once you start reaching new height in your respective field. ‘They say our fate is written, but God gives us some opportunities to choose the things while we live’ and career is one of that things. Choose wisely, Live happily.

If you overcome all these factors I bet you will eventually have the right decision in front of you. Feel free to choose what you think is going to make the best of you in the coming years. You just need to give some time to yourself and even your parents to make sure that this will be best for you. Our parents always pray best of ourselves but in everyday changing concepts they might need some time to fit in themselves and have a mutual understanding with you. Always remember this was only for choosing the right career, wherever you join whatever you did you will have to start from scratch. The tools you learned will just help you get a position but reaching new height will take a lot of efforts. What they taught us at schools or colleges- Life will not be that easy and also not that boring at the same time.

After you have entered a company or started what you always wanted to do, Keep these few points in mind-

• Be a Better version of Yourself
• Stick to a task until you become a pro in it. (Keep practicing it, fail- Do again- Success)
• Every day will be a new opportunity.
• You will have to Grind, Struggle and work hard to reach the position where you really belong- TOP.
• Do it with your full heart.
• Accept your fears and flaws and try to overcome them.
• There will be days when you want to quit, stop working and just stay in your bed. Don’t worry these things are normal, If it happens just keep your work aside, Relax your mind and start again.
