We All have a career whether we know it or not. We may consider some as successful in their career and others as not so successful. The problem is that we quantify success with money. We have a mentality of comparing individual success stories. Our success story is our own and it has nothing to do with our peers or friends' success. Stop comparing yourself with your friends or people you know. Make your career in what you are passionate about and just don't venture into something which is very hot in the market. Remember the character Farhaan from 3 Idiots. He had to choose between his passion or engineering. He chose the first and carved out a successful career out of It. So if you can pursue your passion or dream chances of being successful are automatically high.
In India, in middle-class families, you require to fulfill your parent's dream to acquire a degree to get a good job. to achieve that in most cases you keep aside your passion or just forget about it. There's nothing wrong with it as long as you yourself are contented with what you are doing and if you love your work. But what if you feel frustrated and burdened with your job and above that, you have family responsibilities. What do you do then? You need to think of doing something to bring alive your passion.
Today we have a vast pool of live information regarding any field on the internet. We have various online training courses available through various sites like Udemy, Upgrad, Coursera, Open Culture Online Courses, EdX, Open Yale Courses, Stanford Online and many more
You can find out a topic of your choice to start learning from these platforms at your own pace.
You can also enroll in some of the courses offered by IGNOU. These are cheap and offer good quality education. It won't take away a lot of your savings. These are for self-paced learners and you can do so without hampering much of your current schedule. ou just need to stay focussed and put in your best foot forward
Please remember the purpose, you are doing the course not to get your job but to do something about your passion. So your focus should be on learning and not on the degree. Once you acquire knowledge, start searching for avenues to practically apply or work on it even at free of cost for the initial days if required. Your aim should be to showcase your skill. Let your colleagues in your current company know about your newly acquired skills. Let people around you know about it, like friends, family, neighbors, etc. You never know from which way a new avenue would open! Maybe your current company is looking for someone with the same skillset and they might approach you or even you may officially apply for it. Keep in mind that you wouldn't have to leave your current job or profession for this. You would be just trying to shift into something that you love doing. Doesn't that feel Awesome? Converting your passion into your profession! To me, seems the best thing that can happen to me, because I would never get tired working on it and LOVE MY JOB!
I never say that all this would happen at the flick of a second. Yes, of course, it would require time and energy and maybe a bit of money. But you DESERVE a Chance to Shine in your life, Right? You've got a single life to prove yourself to yourself. Please note I would never recommend you do these to collect praise from others, but just for You. THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN YOUR LIFE. IS YOU AND YOU DESERVE SUCCESS AND SELF FULFILLMENT.
SO BUILD YOUR OWN CAREER PATH IRRESPECTIVE OF ALL NEGATIVE SITUATIONS OF YOUR LIFE. LIGHT UP THE FIRE IN YOUR LIFE. LEAD TOWARDS FULFILLING YOUR DREAM.
Take care. Let 2020 Shine for you.
