In our surroundings, we see very few highly successful people. We may all have dreams of becoming somebody, but for most of us, our dreams get shattered, and very few can live up to their aspirations or attain their dream careers. Why does it happen?
Research studies reveal that even if fresh graduates and students get employed, more than a hefty 70 percent of the employed college graduates are dissatisfied in their jobs or careers. Why is it so? Here is a scientifically proven technology to know yourself, understand, and then coin a dream that suits you and then pursue it! The result is, you love what you do, and you do what you love! It’s quite possible to plan the success to earn it that you are made for! Let’s have a look!
There is a common observation that often the first benchers in schools and colleges are not that successful like the ones sitting at the backbenches in any school or college. Generally, the pupils sitting at the back are the mischievous ones and often endowed with more practical intelligence than the frontbenchers. Does it mean that to be successful in life, you have to be a backbencher and have to be naughty and mischievous? Not everyone who is not good at studies is always successful! There are people good in academics enjoying the curricula of the school and college education, who also succeed. When Dr. Paul Samuelson walked into the first lecture hall of the University of Chicago, little did he know about his so intimate passion for Economics! One of his recounts enumerates that he only knew that he was there because it was close to his home. Being on that day in the lecture where Malthus theory of population was taught, he found something similar resonating in him. But after a few minutes in that lecture hall, he realized that he was born again. He came to learn a subject that interests him the most. The Malthus theory that was taught says that the human population would go on reproducing like that of rabbits until a point when the density of population on an acre of land reduced the wage levels to a bare subsistence level where the increased birth rate would equal the death rate. He narrates that it was so easy for him to understand the so complicated differential equations that he also started to have few intuitive hunches about the theory as well. Paul Samuelson, who later became the Nobel laureate economist, Dr. Paul Samuelson, found out his elements that he identified in the subject, Economics. It was in this lecture that he discovered his element, and his life as an economist began. He later describes his life as pure fun, and at a later stage, he became the professor of Economics at MIT and also rose to the position of president of the International Economic Association. He also became the first American to win the Noble Prize in Economics in 1970. Not everybody is as lucky as Dr. Paul Samuelson to have chanced upon their passion points in the normal course of life. But the moot point is clear from the case study of Dr. Paul Samuelson! He had been lucky enough to know that his passion lay in Economics. In the later years of his life, he followed his passion, which rendered him astounding success. In most of our cases, we do not know where our passion lies, but that is invariably the secret that most of us fail to realize in our student life! If we can discover our passion, we would enjoy what we do, and the whole perception of the world would change. Inevitably, we would be in our elements, and we would try to look at the world more practically changing our perceptions, which would be more realistic. Our career goals would seem more attainable and realistic, helping us to set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic & Time-bound) goals and attain them.
How to use your passion to achieve your career goals?
Once we know where our passion lies and love what we study or pursue, we should look at the world and change our perceptions. We should look at the standards of the profession that the industry seeks for and look for the potential in us. The catch is, once we enjoy what we do and aspire for what we love to do, we would essentially be in our elements. In other words, we would become more authentic than we think we are. As we delve more into the subject and the profession we love, confidence would emanate as steam rises from boiling water. A little more strategic thinking on what the market wants and where our potential lie, would make us more strategic and plan-oriented and help us in framing realistic goals helping us to reach there in a time-bound manner. Once this self-ordained goal is achieved, we would see that we have turned out to become the personality that we always wanted to be, with a value system that we would be proud of. It would certainly happen as it originates from your passion within, and you would see that you are always in your elements with a more authentic self. To sum it up, the discovery of passion is crucial for your success in the pursuance of your aspired career. Once you start pursuing your passion, the future would start looking brighter, and in the light of your elements, you would discover a world with a different perception altogether as you would become more objective-oriented. This would inevitably churn a better personality in you, pumped up with more confidence as you would seem to be closer to your aspirations.
Look for the prospects of your career in the market and know the pros and cons of it. Use this knowledge to make a strategy to attain your goals, and as you work for it harder and harder, which you would love to do, your goal would seem closer, making you more sanguine than ever before.
