When i was a child I always used to say that i would never become a teacher when i grew up . But destiny pushed me into the teaching field only and today it's been around twenty years that I have been teaching maths and physics to students . But somewhere at the back of my mind it's still there that I am in a wrong line . I think it happens with many of us . I asked one of my engineer friends if he that was the exact profession he was in and he replied " It's ok , I am earning good ....but how lucrative it would have been if i was into a travel industry" . One of my cousins who is a doctor has a passion for photography . May be you too had a love for something else but are doing something else .
Yesterday only I and my daughter were together watching a movie and suddenly I questioned her 'What's that thing that you don't know yet but wish to learn , something you think would make you very happy' .She said ' I wish to play guitar' and to the same question my answer was ' Wish i was born in a family where music and dance was in genes' . I suggested her to start learning guitar but she said that it was the time to focus on her studies .
Sometimes our vision is vague and we are not able to judge our abilities what we may prove to be good at . To me , teaching became a profession for earning but to satisfy that demon at the back of mind , I experimented many things . Few years ago , I joined a music school but got impatient within 15 days . I joined an online dance class during lockdown but learning dance from a mobile and that too alone was just not interesting . The initial years in blogging were very exciting but the excitement graph slowly started declining . Then i started learning calligraphy and thankfully it's still ON for the last two years . I don't know how many more experiments I would take in life but every experiment has brought some learning along . So keep experimenting !
I recently read story of a girl who after many experiments in her job career quit it and followed her passion for photography. She initiated the concept of birth photography and after many rejections she runs a successful birth photography business by the name 'Mommastory' with many employees working under her .
I am sure you also must have done many experiments . Why don't you share your experience ?
