Cross Roads. A place where each one of us reaches, at some point in life. A time to take decisions. For me during graduation i used to go with the wind, there were times when this girl used to guide me. My career choices used to be a bit too much influenced by the people around me. Looking back I feel so stupid :)
After my graduation i did three different jobs before I grew some balls to make the right decision and take that important leap. I was staying with friends who had a electric superbike group. Obviously I took the easiest way out by joining them and it took me 6 months to realize it was not my dream. I raised too many issues that they could not answer. I raised logical questions and when my questions were not answered, I left.
Then I was with a different group of friends, one of them were starting a business and again moving with the flow, I joined him. Three months later inspite of him offering me a partnership I knew this was not my thing, so I quit.
For the first time in my life I took a decision which my parents supported. I found a job in a big company! There I had thought I had found my lost sense of direction. But it did not take me long to realize I was wrong again. But being in a big and reputed company taught me so many things which I could relate to the real world. It was not theorotical like in college but I gained a lot of practical knowledge. Then I knew where my interest lied. But for doing the things I liked I needed to change the department or find a new job or specialize in that field. Also it would help me in my struggle to find the right path.
With so many thoughts looming in my head, I decided to give in my resignation and pursue my masters. Now I know more clearly where I will end up but this doesnt mean the path is cleared up, but just that the darkness has gone and someone has put some dim lights in the way. There is a lot to do ahead, every step now will be important cause once I choose my field and career I have very less tries left to continue experimenting with my life.
Decisions. They are so important. The choices you make could be the story of your life! How are your decisions made? By you ? By your parents ? By your friends ?
My decisions like I said used to be affected by my friends' opinion massively before I figured what my passion was. Nay, it was no divine intervention. It was just my inner self. I used to ask people and then take decisions. Still I do that sometimes, but have you listened to that voice inside which is always shouting out loud to be heard by you? Like your doing something bad and the voice won't go off till you stop doing that!
We always don't know what's the right thing to do. We do need some goods friends who will say sorry mate what you are doing is wrong. But in the end we ourselves have to make decisions. And when you start completely ignoring your friends and parents opinions you are on your own. And maybe when you wanna go back and desperately need advice they wont be there. Keep your friends closer,but choose who you keep closest. Some people just have fake masks put on. They will be very good to you but when they get the chance they wont even think twice to put that dagger in your back. Yeah be good to everyone in this world and the world will walk all over you leaving boot marks on your face and the lingering taste of dirt is all you will have.
I said before be what you are. Dont be what the world wants you to be cause they will keep changing their mind will you change every time. Ofcourse don't be too stubborn to change yourself a little here and there. You cant be a bastard and stubborn and still just think that everyone will like u.
Be good to good and bad to bad.cheers to that :)
