Hello Readers. It's been quite a while since my last post,
almost a semester - a drastic one, a life-changing one for me! I came across
different people, many questions struck but unfortunately, I couldn't find
answers to many. And surprisingly, I haven't found them yet! So, more than just
a post about how I see things, this is going to be a post with questions about
how one should see things!
I love trying different things and at times, get so much involved that they become necessity of my life. Well, this semester was no different. I tried my hands at playing guitar [infact more than just a try], tried to enhance my poetry skills and did a bit of earning through online tutoring forums. But, the best part was finding three completely unique lifelong friends who are a lot different from the normal lot. Being with them for almost four months posed many questions in my mind which we, as students, often face but seeing and folllowing the general trend , end up choosing the wrong path and getting frustrated!
What should you choose as your career option [this includes choice in stream after 10th and choice in discipline after 12th and lot more]? ?Should you go for huge salary promising options [most common being Computer Science] or should you get yourself driven by your passion?? Two of my friends chose the second option and will be going to Japan and Spain for internship next month [they were literally struggling even in Board Examinations 18 months back]. Second option involves a huge risk factor but then, even if things go wrong, you are nobody to blame but yourself! I have seen people going for the first option and then, crying for not following their heart. Forgot to mention, I chose the first option [and I feel no other choice could have been better for me]. It's an open-ended question! Try and figure it out.
Incase you have decided to go for the first option, should you try and be the best [academically] ghotting [studying] day and night, the way you used to do till 12th or should you go into LITE [chill] mode and start finding answers to your unanswered desires?? Last semester, my life kept revolving around this question. Last semester was ' That phase of my life when I knew I could do well and so, I was doing well but I was not amongst the best because I was not trying to be the best!!' This still remains an unanswered question to me but will definitely find answer to it by May2017 [end of next semester].
There are few more questions which I will be disclosing in other posts. Having said that, this post would be incomplete without me mentioning suggestions, My Voice. First and foremost, do not go for Computer Science or some similar option just because you and your relatives think it will be best for you! You will have to carry the degree lifelong. Make your choice wisely! Also, there is no harm in fulfilling your desires but, neglecting studies completely can never be the correct option. And most important being, make sure you are nobody to blame but yourself for every action you take!
Keep learning! Keep improving! Do watch out for my next post on APOGEE 2K17[especially if you are in college].
Cheers!!
