Where you will go in life is up to you. I never set a goal for me in my life. Even its good for our self if we have a goal. If we have a goal, we can make plan to achieve that goal. But everyone’s life is not same, sometimes we need to manage everything with situations came in our life. When I was in school I want to became a teacher because that time my aim was my teacher I wanted to be like her in my life. childhood is a stage when we want like what we see what we like in our surroundings. I never thought about engineering. After school i joined engineering college. I chose that without any goal.

In college, my aim was to became a software engineer but professionally I am not a software engineer. It happened when we did not ask our self what we want to do in our life? or sometime we are not comfortable to sharing our thoughts with anyone.

We have an ideal person in our life but it’s not possible to become as same as like them because we have some quality in us no other person has that. We need to find that quality inside us. Carefully pick the right degree and program. When you will achieve your aim, you will move for new dream. Success comes from inside of you. If you are self-aware, self-confident and self-disciplined you will go very far in life. So, keep learning everything from everywhere you can learn & think about yourself what are you doing, why you are doing, what you can do & what you want to do? Focus on your aim but keep an eye on yourself at present what are you doing and why?

Your first job is a period of adjustment. It’s like being a freshman all over again. Be patient and learn the ropes. Think of your first job as a stepping-stone that can help you get closer to your Ideal Job. Don’t wait for opportunities. Go out and hunt for them.

Get clarity and focus on the three types of jobs you will pursue:

1. Ideal Job:

The ideal job is the job where we get satisfaction in both professional and personal life.

Benefits with realistic jobs are you already know about the employer expectations; their job tasks are exactly as described to them. This increases job satisfaction

3. Survival Jobs:

As per definition it’s a low-end low-paying job that a displaced job-seeker takes on a temporary basis when unemployed to cover basic living costs to survive and avoid bankruptcy — or worse. You are out of work your benefits have expired and your savings are quickly being depleted. But here are some features in survival jobs that are Income, Productivity & Confidence.

Do not give up on finding the job you want. Before turning to bar tending, look for a survival job in your field — even if it means taking a major step down. Doing so will provide consistency and focus in your career and put you in the right place should opportunities arise within that company, Taylor says.

An employer doesn’t care whether you’re professionally fulfilled or not, they care about how productive you are.
