Follow your Passion

Tag:Technorati Tags: ,

I was asked the question too when I was young and I remembered my answers was I wanted to be a scientist or a soldier. However I end up taking an enginneering course in university and this decision was influenced by the job market. Hence for me, it’s the job market which is more important than what I wanted to do.

Now speaking from my experience, I agree with the following two statement in the news article. These are:-

  • “What is most important is not the job market, but what students are doing to take advantage of the vast learning opportunities,”
  • “If you follow your passion you will work harder, catch the interest of employers, and the money will be enough.”

In short it means follow your passion.

College grads get good news about job market - Campus

When asked about what they want to do when they grow up, a typical kindergartner cracks a huge smile and shouts, “Astronaut!” or “Ballerina!” They are not worried about financial security or job outlook.

College students, however, are very concerned and this year their concern is met with great news. Graduates looking for a position in 2006 had the benefit of the best job market in four years, and 2007 promises to have even better prospects according to jobweb.com, and a recent survey conducted by collegegrad.com which found similarly promising statistics.

A Motivation Message

A daily motivation messages that I subscribed to. Post it here to remind myself and share

THERE IS ALWAYS A GOOD SIDE
————————————————————–

Everything depends on the way you look at things.
View every problem you encounter as an opportunity.
There is always a good side to every situation.

The optimist sees an opportunity in every misfortune.
The pessimist sees misfortune in every opportunity.
The optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist sees the hole.

You can develop success from every failure.
Discouragement and failure are two stepping stones to success.
No other elements can do so much for you
if you’re willing to study them and make them work for you.

When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.
