BE WHO YOU WANT TO BE NOT WHAT OTHER WANTS TO SEE

Hi Friends!

Few days back I was having a conversation with a friend and he said "My father wants me to become a doctor."
Then I gave some advice on that, It is his choice whether to take it or not. (I have made a blog on this issue too in my earlier blog. To read that click here.

Now coming to this topic.
It is you who is responsible for your own future (good or bad). I hope it is not bad.
Human gets influenced from surrounding easily, specially from relatives, friends or girlfriend/boyfriend.
People tend to change habit and choice according to their beloved. I am not saying it is bad but if a person who plays good cricket is made to play football just because his/her beloved likes it then its the person's waste of potential and knowledge which he/she has in cricket.

Some of them feel bad to say no if someone asks them to switch over to something the other like.
But saying no doesn't makes you a bad person, in fact it shows your maturity and responsibility towards your own future.
Do whatever you feel is good for your future even though if it has a small percentage of benefit.
Give your potential a medium to build your future.
Because at last you will be the one responsible for what you will be. Don't give yourself a chance to blame other afterwards for your loss.
Be influenced by others only if you like it and when the thing is good for you and is not hurting others at present or in future in anyway.
Be mature enough to think about your own good. 
AND

Enjoy!
 

* TAKE ADVICE FROM OTHERS BUT MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION

Hi Friends!
                 We always get number of  advises in our daily lives. From our mates, friends, teachers, family and strangers. Everyone has their own perspective and they project their willingness in the form of suggestions to you. Lets have an example, a person with silent nature will suggest others to hear solo songs to listen whereas a person of jolly nature will suggest more of a fast and loud music.
But advises help us to decide something good as we get more options and out of which we choose which suits best. If we get only one option then we have to choose that only. Options provide flexibility of choice.

Motive of this blog is to do the same, advise you to take advises, starting from this blog.

It is funny isn't it. But this will help you to guide and take decisions for your own good.
Bring options to your cart while making any decisions and choose the best of it according your your capabilities and Possibilities. 
Though some advises seem much good but implementing it is tough, So if you are able to do it then only you should apply, if not don't.

Sometimes, advise give by someone also suggest how much they care or how much importance you are to them. For example, If you are facing difficulties with a paper whose exam is next week. Assume that you get two advises from two friends.
1. Hey friend, these exams only scare, come we play and be tension free.
2. Hey friend, I too have problem with that paper, come lets read and make most of the remaining time in use.

Now, you have two advises to choose. Your decision is always  the decider of your future and also that how much you are influenced by others without viewing self opinion. At the same time you know which one of the adviser is truly is your friend and thinks good for you.

So friends, taking decisions is good but making decisions on others will is not.
Make your own decision. Let no one decide you future. Show your capabilities in physical form. 
Use your full potential in doing something, Be smart and show maturity in every decisions.

At last thanks for your time.
