Yeah I understand the look on your face,It's not a breaking news or rare fact, but today my point does not relate to hunger in our country or poverty in our country,but it focuses on job dissatisfaction,work pressure,workplace frustration....blah, blah.I know you would be wondering how is my post title related to it.
We often come across many,who have lot of complaints about their respective jobs. Literally, I have seen people who cry to face Monday,and many hate their job,workplace to core but still..... Only some exceptional people who are genuinely happy with their job and love their work.Does anyone gave a thought about it? Why does it happen? Why can't everyone feel happy for their work?Why people are looking for motivational speeches,salsa,yoga, meditation etc etc to relieve from stress.Answer is really simple,they are in a wrong place and their genuine interest lies some where else.If we choose our passion as our profession,then our work itself becomes meditation,our work itself becomes a stress buster and instead of hating Mondays we will wait for it. Correct me,if I am wrong.
There is a very little part of our society, which has the luxury to choose their passion as their profession(Why I am calling it as luxury, you will understand later).Again question raises ..Why??? The answer is simple, because of insecurity to remain unemployed.In a middle class family,if a boy has great interest in Painting, do you really think parents will support him in taking Art as his career ???I am not blaming parents as well,It's again insecurity which stops them,they can't afford to wait for years till their son becomes a successful painter.That's why instead they encourage their kids to take some professional course to settle down soon.If you go to a engineering student and ask why did he choose to become engineer,his answer will be,I can have great opportunities outside to settle down(Just checkout how many engineers does India produce in a year),Is this the only factor we should look for???? Do you feel, all engineering or any professional course students are opting this subjects because it's their passion???(If so we would find lot many Mokshagundam Visweswarayya's and Ratan Tata's till now)
I don't feel any bad to relate this with our medal count in International Sports.Being one of the most populous country,we manage to get minimum medals.May be many of our champions are busy in regretting about their wrong career choice.Being a typical middle class Indian, I can just pray for a society where we value education instead of money,where we give same respect to both arts and science streams,where both farmer and industrialist have same stature.I seriously want to see students choose to become lawyers,painters,journalists,historians,astronauts,scientist,farmers,etc etc (only because it's their passion, not for any insecure reasons).May be a proper way of skill distribution,unlike now lakhs of students competing for just hundreds of seats(IITs,IIMs).
