I always wanted to be a journalist..nope..thats too much travel and buzz..
I wanted to be a Doctor..oh no!! hospitals...
I wanted to be a artist..well..lets not talk abt my hand and eye co ordination levels at all..its a very "not welcome to talk abt" topic..
Living in a society where the very idea of small talk means "What do you want to be in life?" [:grr] or "So, what do you want to do next"...my answer has always been..well..not much of an answer than a confused look and after turning round..of course a "Duh!!"
But when I come to think of it now, how does a person realise his/her passion.Other than the born brilliante of course..u see my point??no..Well..See..I like Biology..fine..it interests me more than say... Thermodynamics..but is that my passion??
Err.. I feel the confused look surfacing again..
Or is it like Browning saying "Two roads diverged in the yellow woods..And sorry I could not travel both..."
Its just the curosity..What if I had been something else?? The curiosity remains and the confusion prevails..forever!!

second ur thought
ReplyDeletewhat is surprising is that there is a huge number of people who might have felt the same....there are a number of ppl who dunno where to go or what to do but just move with the flow--hoping to reach somewhere. Unfortunately very less number of ppl take up what they are good at. End result-talent is thwarted and they are stuck up with jobs they can never handle....If they loved their job everyday would have been a holiday...
c the problem is the society has carved out this idea that corporate life is gonna earn stability...not the other pursuits....therefore this dilemma on wat to do....
Sad but true...hats off to those who follow their passion....
