Many a times, we get to a point in life when we get to decide whom we want to be when we ‘grow up’. Since the choices we make at that point etch our very future, it would be wise that you chose something that you love and have the potential to pursue to the very end. The facts are that there are many people wanting that elite career spot in the society, say for instance to be a neurosurgeon or the best software developer there ever was.
You have two options out of this predicament. Opt for a less lucrative path and hope than no one uses your path of reason or take the bull by its horns, dive right in and try to be the very best there ever was. Regardless of whatever choice you take, the world is becoming a highly professional place and there is no longer room for mediocrity. Whatever path you take, ensure that you zealously pursue it to the very end.
