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).
A good thought. But not only this there is a lot of politics in India in each and every field. This is also the reason that most of them left there dreams to destination.
ReplyDeleteyes,but I am focusing on basic issue :)
DeleteIt takes a lot of guts to follow your dreams . In our society , people are so much scared of failures that they don't want to take the risks . Result , they are living in misery.
ReplyDeleteIt’s good to be like this, here we are not thinking about our own desires we are living for our family, friends, and society. And that’s why we are at least better than so many rich countries that don’t have minimum a family.
ReplyDeleteHere job is a need for us that’s why we are doing that, rather than waiting for a long time with guitar or something better to do a job and make family happy.
India is in one of the few countries where parents are thinking about their children future, we feel accomplished when we keep our parents, wife and future generation in a comfort zone. This is the passion for us.
If we start living for us then you gonna see our country with a 50% of divorcees, no families, complete zero.
I think u didn't get my point correct, it's ok if ur happy with your life, im nt talking about people like u.I am not blaming or pointing out anybody for this situation. I am just expressing how Indian people live their life in a disguise of happiness which is not real.I dont think following someone's passion leads to divores or whatever things you have told.Last but not least its my view.I respect your view and also want others to respect my view
DeleteOmg, i also just shared my view. i didn't mean desperately it going to happen if we start living how we want.
Deleteyes , it is the main reason we are lacking in development because true development occurs when there improvement in every sector, people dont want to take risk of going through their passion , the problem is they give reasons to themselves for not doing what they want and ultimatley when they have everything like money and so called respect , they will find something missing which is greater than money,respect, family that is satisfaction. If we are happy and satisfied we can make our beloved ones happy , because if happiness is about money den worlds richest ppl should be d happiest yet dey try to find ways to be happy and satisfied. one should take the step to proceed , even professional courses were once involved with risk but ppl who has the passion took a step and the development ocured . if even we take the step to proceed in our passion one or other day even dis will become like other job seeking sectors. God has given every human an ability to live their life on own it all depends on how we use it. If we really want our children to achieve great heights den give them a chance , by providing money and luxury we make them lazy and in efficient live their life on their own.
