I see many young people in my neighborhood as well as the relative circle complaining of lesser opportunities and failures in life. When I think of it and what they have in life and the chances they missed, I think, it is partly their own fault and also because their elders were not able to guide them properly at the right time.
case A
A is a graduate and has also completed his masters in a foreign country for which his parents took huge loans against their property. A spend his college years in lavish living and spend the money instead of working part-time and saving it.
A does not have a resume that is full of internship details and other such achievements. Others in his batch have landed jobs but A is jobless and is still searching for the right job where he expects to earn a huge sum of money in the first month itself. His parents still support him, thinking that he will be soon employed and be able to pay back the loans.
A's life is not ideal.
What do you think A should do at this juncture?
case B
B is a student. He is still studying. B wants to study in a good college but his parents cannot afford it. He is studying in a local college. B knows how hard it is to earn money. So, he does part-time jobs in his spare time and saves it.
B also takes care to read extensively and increase knowledge and also does internships.
B has also made sure he has the right contacts and is a known presence in major media like Twitter, Medium, LinkedIn.
B has no difficulty in landing a job after his studies.
Do you appreciate B?
What we make of our life is in our hands. We can blame luck and destiny and other such things but in the end, it is our will power which makes us succeed in life.
