How getting a seat on a local train is similar to shaping your future?
All of us might have traveled on the local train. I hope it was a good experience for you. I am kidding right! Anyway, we all know that getting a seat there is the most difficult task ever, just like shaping your future.
Why is there a need to “shape” one’s future ?
Ever get the feeling that you have chosen the wrong career. From a doctor’s daydreamer to the right night breaker, you fell at a different place, but still, you are happy! Thus, the need to shake up your career isn’t always obvious. Sometimes, you love the people you work with and haven’t even considered a move or you’re so busy at something that you haven’t taken a moment to ask yourself, “Is this where I want to be?” You might, however, be missing a few key signs that it’s time to leave for the next step in your career.
You must be thinking about why is it important to shape the career even though we are happy at what we are doing. That makes sense. But you can grow in the same place and proliferate your happiness. Now does that make sense? The need to shape your future is to set goals, plan and work accordingly, be happy, and make your further journey more comfortable.
