Understand you have to learn whole your life.

Man remains a student all his life whether it is learning to talk,walk or it is learning the art of living.Once you are born you get on a ship to learn and it lasts from your nursery to till whenever you are active in your life. So never think you can stop learning and start enjoying, the art of happy career is to enjoy while learning.

Struggle begins

However if you learn to work hard and out up your ambitions at the young age like in 10th and 12th standard you become a warrior, you can face any challenge that comes to you in your career. Take both the standards sincerely (there’s a difference between being serious and sincere)

Here are few tips to do before choosing career path.

1. Sit back with a pen and paper

After you are done with your main exams and decide to chose your career and follow the path take a pen and paper in your hand and start.

2. Start writing the jobs you would love to do.

Start writing any options that strike your mind including your favourite sports,hobbies and anything that you always wanted to become.

3. Scratch out

Now sit back and think for a while, scratch out the options you think are emotionally driven,illogical or impractical.

4. Discuss with your parents.

The remaining options should be shown to your parents because they are best advisors you could ever ask. They know the practical things in this world and would guide you write.

5. Research

Research on the fields you shortlisted and are interested in. Many times it happens like the field we are interested in does not yield good results for our livelihood. So somethings should be kept as hobbies and some as careers. Choose wisely.

6. Explore

There are many career options that you don’t explore much or are unaware of, so make sure you go through all the options before you come to any conclusion.

Career option determines the life you want to live and you are about to live so take your time to choose what you want, do not hurry because this will lead to imbalance of your mental well being and your confidence if it goes wrong.

10. Back up plan

Last but not the least , most important. HAVE A BACKUP PLAN. This will make you more secure towards your career and also reduce the chances of failure. This is something many students don’t do and end up messing up. So sit back with your parents and have a back up plan.
