Choosing your dream stream!



Until and unless you haven’t really picturized yourself in the future,  where you have a perfect job, the perfect place to begin your day,  and the perfect end to an equally hardworking evening, you aren’t really figured out as to what you need to choose in life. And to get you there, this article here is suggests helping you figure out in what ways you can reach your goals, and if you haven’t set up any, then what are you waiting for....christmas?!
Firstly you should know what are your strengths as well as weaknesses, If you really dont’ know yourself then you need time to explore that inner part! If you are an arts student longing to become an IAS officer just because your fascinated with the uniform and want to fantasize girls longing for you in those uniforms then sorry,  but you really need to find a dress waalah who will stitch you that uniform minus the degree and start getting serious in life.

For instance, a BMM student needs to choose his field once he’s done with the 4th semester and thats where a lot of people Stand confused...Yes advertising is good but so is journalism. Yes your report writings’ were a flop but were ad’s were good... Gone through this before?! Well, My suggestion is that Check your record in the last two years, Which subject were your strenghts and which subjects were you comfortable with. Check your report card! If you’ve just crawled your way by passing the line in a subject that you think will do good to you, i think that you might want to give it another thought. But if you’ve been going good on another subject consistently then you really know where to go! But clearly Grades do not measure intelligence. So you really need to know what options are out there that you might be good at! Similarly,  people who are interested in taking up a course in the medical or engineering fields do need to know, those 4 years they’re going to give demand hardwork and consistent practice of whatever is being thought. Because remember, anyone can pass out and get a degree, but what sets you apart from a good doctor to a best doctor,  is the quality of work which you impart.  You can also take the help of career counsellors who really are of great help. Ofcourse you can avoid going there if you have somewhat an idea of what you want but if you don’t maybe proffessional help can lead you somewhere.We always need to make our choices because our choices make us.

If your confused between two things then choose the former or latter which can help you go a long way in future. If u want to become an actress you do know your in the industry till you look like a million bucks and the day you get your first wrinkle or your baby is when apparently your career ends. This acts as an example as to whatever you choose should help you invest in your future and should be of use when you really need it. Taking up something that interests you is the right option but thinking over it as a long term investment for yourself financially is also necessary.
We all make mistakes at some point in our academic life, we all might have regretted not taking up something or not doin something that we were good at and ended up doing something different and failed at it. Jim Carrey the famous goofy actor who’s known for his remarkable comic timing once quoted, “If I'm not taking a career risk, I'm not happy. If I'm scared, then I know I'm being challenged.”

But trust me, A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new, and where you fail is where you take up your first baby step to success. Because from there is where you realise what actually helps you in life. Talking to your parents about every decision you take really helps. But make sure that whatever your taking up is not something that your doing for someone but its for your internal satisfaction itself. Its very rare that people actually enjoy their jobs but thats their choice! You can actually enjoy and have the time of your life working if what you’ve chosen interests you.

Get inspired! Choose a field which challenges you! Which helps you explore yourself and be innovative. Something which you may have found completely boring in the beginning, but as you take pace becomes the thing you want to do everyday. You might be having a streak in you which even you weren’t aware of. And choosing that correct path wil help you in knowing how capable you are of handling things in the “real” world, and that path can be accessed if the door to your mind open to all the wonderfull options you have in hand.
