Hope….

A day will come,
The dawn of my own

Until then I try,
For a seed is already sown.

In this sea of career race
We are more or less in the same pace.

The one who is by accident,
never knows why he is here,

The other who wants money
More and more.

Never for sure,
They want to know,
Where they will be tomorrow.

Amidst them I stand
Listening to my own sound.

Drawn not by the materialistic things
How do I fly with clipped wings?

Lord, you made a mistake.

You should have soared me high
Or spared my belief
And let me cry.

With thoughts so loud
Shouldn�t I know what I could?

Serendipity and cognitive dissonance
Many think them nonsense.

Branding and marketing,
Training and ecommerce,
What are all these?

I ached to be a part of them
As, I identified myself as a gem.

They all stood @ ease
And pushed me outside the crease.

I keep my dreams close to my heart
For, there are people out there,
Ready to hurt.

I am trying my hard
To stay out of this crowd.

A day will come,
The dawn of my own

Until then I try,
For a seed is already sown.

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”

Do You Love Your Job? — Answers

Welcome!!!! 

We first of all congratulate you for taking your first step towards finding a way for a wonderful living ……. 

If your ‘a’ is greater than ‘b’ and ‘c’.

You are a person with principles and believe that you are extraordinary. Your career seems not to suit your abilities. It is high time that you cry “SOS”. It is very clear that when you believe yourself as an extra ordinary person it is based on your explored strengths. You don’t agree in an accidental victory. You are meticulous and a good strategist. Break down the myths and come out of your shell. Life is full of risks, get out and create a history. Because you are one among the few who have created our past. You are sticking to this career because of money and a social recognition. Doing what you really are capable of requires persistence and if you can’t, who can?. 

If your ‘b’ is greater than ‘a’ and ‘c’. You are a person whose roots are deep in to the culture. You are really content with whatever you do. You keep yourself and your environment happy. You are an achiever. You are happy with the success in your career and foresee the same in the future also. But we suspect that you have not understood your abilities. We recommend you to think for a while about that. You could learn few things which are required for you to grow in your own career. List few things which your boss has and you don’t (other than experience) and try to learn it. 

If your ‘c’ is greater than ‘b’ and ‘a’ .

You are a person who takes life as it comes. You are a person with energy and enthusiasm. You are not a kind of person who takes career seriously. That doesn’t mean you are not serious about money. For you, life is full of fun. Though your current career supplies all that is required to you now, you must understand that when your responsibilities in life rise, you will be forced to think about your career. Better late than never.  

Best of luck!
