Challenge your abilities

I have been pondering for so long why people are not taking career seriously. For them career is just “making money” way.

Imagine the last time you have bought a durable, can you count on the options available? Can you remember the companies available? The shops? The offers? It did take so much of your time and energy to buy the best isn’t it? But just think back when you just took up your first job, whether off or on campus. It was just weighed by the numbers(salary) right ? Career is the only option to really challenge ones ability. Only when your abilities are challenged you grow to the next level.

The moment you stop challenging your abilities, you become blunt. Don’t believe this? Avail some leave and sit @ home for two days. Get disconnected from this world. You will then start believing this. Biological researches say that average life, average height, and our body conditions all are improving day by day. for decades we have been improving. How and why do you think we are improving?
Because, our abilities are challenged and thus resulting in growth. The more you work out in gym the more your muscles tighten and grow. That is challenging your abilities. When you challenge it, it grows. Take a Pen and write down few exercises in life that are challenging your abilities. You can, but not greater than 10 right? Above all that you have written down the top most is CAREER. Because you spend 50% of your life here. This is the ground that challenges you the max. If you succeed in this ground, life flourishes. But ask most of the software engineers sitting in the Silicon Valley, if they are flourishing?

I have even heard one of my friends out there saying “I want to do organic farming” Instead of matching your abilities with that of the available options(I even recommend to create one of your own) we are weighing against money. Thus leading to personal dissatisfaction and growing a materialistic world. Can you imagine Sachin, A R Rahman, Anil Ambani, Dhoni, Shahrukh all sitting in a software company and breaking their heads in ASP and .Net ?

Well then the world is “The return of the machines”
