Very well said and you have added a couple of interesting points to what I wrote. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Nice post! I agree with it partly! But to an extent it is the way we all grow up. The her mentality. I have done my engineering and I chose not to take up a software job. A friend of mine helped me to relaise what i liked at that point of time and since i was writing poems since a year and was working with an ngo. we thought why not writing?! I got into a publication and started writing for it. And soon, i got into a channel too. I quit that and now i am working for a company as a associate editor.

The journey was long, perhaps, i had foreseen things becos of my cousins who are into software and feel the way you have written. I did not want to be a part of it.

I wish each of us recognise that life is about taking chances and nothing comes to you. you go to it. so ppl. it is never late. Do you know that Bomman Irani chose acting at the age of 44.

Well, my dad is resgning and looking for a new career. Not that we are affluent, we just want to explore. It won’t hurt. Take a break and think. Develop yourself, think of options.

Think of an option or career where only YOU can make the difference. I am still in the process but i have made a start.

Come on people. we have the potentital within us! We know it! But need to push it and not get de-motivated!

Beleive in YOURSELF!! and only YOU can save yourself! and trust your family, i have with a help of a friend of course.

Regards,
Nivedita

Here I add a couple of lines, I dont know how much these words are relavant to your expression.

Gita says “Samshayatmanam Vinashathi” = “Those who doubt shall perish.”

Being humans, it is very rare for us to not get confused or not to doubt anything. So it doesnot mean that people who are in confusion, or who doubt will perish. It can be better interpreted like: Do not remain in confusion state or with doubts, get the confusions cleared, get the new ones…and this cycle should go on. If this happens with us.. we live not just remain.

hey Chandu… here I did not mean to draw some conclusion, but I felt it is always better to have a confusion cycle “ON” , rather than not thinking at all.

-It was really good. Keep writing ra..

Good to know that you can relate to what I have written. You are right, if we are willing to take risks, in the least, we will not have any regrets that we haven’t tried.

It’s better to try and fail than not to try at all.

I think, till you get the offer, you may try out any business ideas if you have.

Other option is, taking MBA prep seriously and getting into a good B-school.

Good luck with your plans!

we now live in an over communicated society..we read blogs..newspapers..books..and have access to unlimited data/articles which add further to the confusion. when i was in 11th standard , i knew only one thing i.e engineering..i was not living in a society of information overdose. i prepared for the entrance and got into a decent college. the four years of college life changed every bit of me..from a guy who always knew what he wants to do to a guy who keep exploring different things still in hope that he will find his interest like before.

sometimes i think this confusion is an excuse for procrastinating things. i am idle after college not preparing for mba also. if i would have not been confused whether i should do mba or not i would have taken this idle time as opportunity and would have been preparing like i did for engineering. But in this over communicated society many have told me that getting job experience before mba will be good..some have told me go for b schools abroad..some have told me if u want to be an entrepreneur,this is the right time to go for it. so many thoughts many opinions and more confusion..

clearly what i am doing right now..
1. reading about investing a lot these days. i have loads of theoritical knowledge but lack experience.
2.reading about entrepreneurship from last 1.5 yrs as i consider this my true calling but till now i have not taken any firm steps.
3.preparing little bit about mba as everyone around me is doing so.
4.meanwhile waiting for call from the meager paying company i am placed via campus placement.

one thing for sure..to rise in any field i’ll have to stop being confused..stop being procrastinating..and will have to decide one thing and go for it with full heart..and finally will have to stop listening to the over communicated society..

if anyone have any suggestion/advice contact me at chaman{dot}raj@gmail

Keep going..Good luck !!
