Your Career is about you.

When I joined college, I did not know what all the fuss about career was. Of course I was aware of the basics, that it would give my life direction and help found my future and that of generations to come. How far my sight was where the term 'future' was mentioned was something like a broad tarmac road with no end. Career talks are very important but for some reason, I was more confused after each one of them than I had sought direction when I began to listen. We could say it is the fact that I was not a serious student or my career instructor was not supportive enough, probably the system where I studied was faulty or the 8-4-4 program is just misplaced. Whatever the reason I believe now that career and motivation are less about the system and those who supports us. Let me make myself clear, I appreciate career guide and the sort of motivation imparted on us by talks and the sort of gatherings we dedicate to our future. Even so, I am for the idea that career paths are mostly about us as individuals. From the outside we only gain motivation when we know exactly who we are and what we want. It is like fuel when we are the actual engines at work. The only difference is, we are not machines, no we do not die off immediately fuel runs out and we can push ourselves up and keep going. Still we cannot work like robots and do all the traditional categories in order to prove our abilities. It is up to us to innately disburse such motivation in the different domains we know. Again I am convinced that such ability is inborn and each one of us has their unique passion. The genius Albert Einstein clearly stated that everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish but its ability to climb a tree it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. We cannot thus be the same yet each individual has the capacity to make a difference in whatever they choose to take up.
I believe in geniuses but I also believe in divinity and the one thing am convinced is that there is no better creation than us (human beings). And yeah I am a creationist. The baseline is we make things happen and it is not things that make us happen. When you decide to take up something in college, you make that thing good. We do not have to take up the almighty sounding courses to prove that we are bright. If you decide to take up one of these, let it be because that is where your passion drives you. If your heart is betrothed to simple lifestyle kind of matters then let yourself go to love and to cherish till death do you part. Whatever you decide to do, give it your all. I believe life is broader than we see and most times we are just myopic, so much so that we fail in perception. It entails everything from what you can give to what you can receive, make sure whatever you offer is of good quality. If you are already somewhere and you feel discontent because you are not where you would have wanted to be I strongly advise you to put greater effort and hard work than beat yourself up because you do not appreciate your field. If you love to do something, keep up the passion and keep complimenting what you do with other activities in your line. Career is important because we cannot live without being occupied. We would not survive the boredom of life. It is just human to want to work. The good news is that it loves you faithfully and pays right back. So do not just be in school because it is protocol and life has put you there so far. Do not be in school because you would otherwise be tilling land or staying home idle. Your career is a priority, it is your bride, your car, your own private jet because it could take you places . It is your wealth, your career is an investment, treat it like a treasure. It is about you.
