Career Counseling -- Ask for Test
सूतो वा सूतपुत्रो वा यो वा को वा भवाम्यहम्।
दैवायत्तं कुले जन्म मदायत्तं तु पौरुषम्॥
We all understand that career is a type of achievement that just about every one of us is always working towards it even at the later stages of life. A lesser known fact about a person's career is that it doesn't start after they've completed their education.
Instead, it starts the moment parents start considering their child's future. This may very well be a moment in a conversation even before the child's birth.
Not a perspective we've heard or maybe even considered before, right? From all of our collective understanding, this is true.
A simple way to put this would be a fun conversation that almost all of us have heard of "My child will be an engineer!" or maybe you were the child that was supposed to be a doctor.
At times these happen during the stages of the child's life where the child hasn't even figured what toys they like the best.
Everything a parent wants for the child's future tends to build up emotionally or mentally over the time and this results in stressful reactions from the parents' side.
As we all know, children are very perceptive. This perceptiveness in them tends to help them understand and even pick up on the stressfulness of the parent. This stress that the parent innocently passed on the child, sticks with the child. Sometimes, throughout the child's life.
We know that the majority of the children would do right by their parents, and this could mean that they will follow the goals or achievements (even career paths) that were originally set by the Parents.
This career path may lead them to find a place where they have found a simple or a content life but most of the time children will find out that have their own personalities and skills associated with those personalities.
A career they did not choose while suppressing their own nature can very well lead to dissatisfaction or in some cases depression.
Why do we want our children to suffer? Why do we not foresee the struggle?
Well, to be honest, we would but we need to have an open mind about things. Children are amazing.
They are individuals that have a lot to offer to our world. These children, if not suppressed always have immense potential in their own special and unique ways. As parents, we need to focus that uniqueness about them because that uniqueness is what holds their real and most explosive skills.
Maybe most of the parents have already figured all of this out, right? Parents always know their child the best but do all parents teach their child that it is the journey that's more important than the destination?
By that, we mean that the achievements and the goals are good but that shouldn't be the focus for a child. A child with strong and positive emotions towards the path that leads to the goals will definitely reach the goal but also enjoy the journey.
What do we think, can we prepare ourselves for the desired careers?
The short answer is - Yes. Every one of us can prepare ourselves... The question is "How?"
Let's keep things interesting with a well-known example from our country. The example of king Chandragupta Maurya. We know Chandragupta Maurya to be of non-princely and non-warrior ancestry, to be of a humble commoner birth but in then, he was the king.
