A matter of choice

BE YOURSELF: It is important to make your own career decisions and not to follow others blindly.
ANITS: "What do you want to be?" Ask any school kid this question and you will get the following answers `Engineer', `Doctor', `IAS' and `MBA'. Everyone wants to be on the safe side, as if there is no other career option.
We are very much influenced by others right from the childhood. We try to change ourselves looking at others and listening to others.
Just because your father told you to be a cardiologist you want to be a cardiologist and just because your neighbour is very much appreciated as an engineer you too want to make it as one.
Have we ever realized our dreams, interests, likes and dislikes?
This is not just in the case of choice of careers, but also in the case of our overall personality.
We like to dress ourselves like our favourite hero or heroine and try desperately to look like them.
Sometimes students get fascinated by the most popular student in the class and try to walk and talk like them adopting their style if gesture.
Every one of us in this world is made unique. Each one of us has a different talent within. But many of us hide that and want to go with the most popular just because there is no risk in choosing them.
Imitation of others will fetch us nowhere. Show your real self and not the influenced personality of yours.
Choose to be different and be confident about yourself and your choice.
Whether it is the choices of your career or your personality never copy others.
When to comes to interviews many students try to ape others expecting them to get selected just because others got selected. This can only land them as losers in the serious game of their careers.
Be optimistic about who you are and showcase your inner qualities.
Do not force yourself into others shoes.
Be comfortable and confident of what you are. Highlight your interests and hobbies with an added flavor of attitude and confidence.
Believe in your thoughts and just be yourself.
