WHAT ARE YOU GOOD AT?

Friends, it's been a long time I posted in this space. Many things have been jostling for attention in my writing life. Well, I'm back here. I'm commencing with the question, what are you good at? Where is your passion? 

Find one thing you are very good at, just one thing. There could be many of them, but find your areas of strongest gifting. It could be speaking, it could be dancing, singing, acting, photography, decoration, organizing, writing, well, the list is endless. When you find that one thing, find a way to grow it into a passion, then turn it to a profession and the work will become play. May be the question should rather be, are you neglecting your talent?

Many people go to school to study courses that hardly find expression on their own. You may ask me what I mean. But these days, the work environment is growing and evolving everyday especially now that the importance of computers keeps growing. It's no longer all about what you studied in school but rather, what  you are good at. I have seen many people who studied Law as prestigious as the course may be, who thought once they left Law school the money bags will start rolling in. Some did not meet there expectation and now, they have just a tie and a sober black suit as a relic of their Law profession and doing 'charge and bail' while many other people who have a passion for Law are doing really well.

This post is in no way to spite any profession but the point is that the world these days is not ABSOLUTELY about what you studied. Many people are neglecting some important areas and running to where they think money rushes like a fountain. Areas like Photography, Graphic Designing, Interior Decoration, Baking, Fashion Designing, Printing, Music Keyboard, Foreign Languages, Computer Programming (and really, the list is also endless here;) are being neglected by graduates who fail to find a job immediately after graduation with what they read in school. It is good to have a wonderful University certificate and I think this is very important but find at least a skill you are good at. Find something of value you can do for fun.

While we are all seeking a better life, it's good to look within, to listen to that still small voice that tells you that you have a drop of genius within you. Don't open an Indomie shop simply because your neighbour's cluster of customers in his Indomie and Egg shop is scratching your eyebrows, you think that's the next best business. Don't start a dry-cleaning firm simply because your dry-cleaned cloths stand like Stock-fish when you wear them and you think your dry-cleaner is making plenty money. Look within, is this what you really want to do? Will you be willing to do that even if the money is not immediate.

While you are developing yourself, the big deal could always show up, and well, you'd not lose anything becoming a better you.

So, the next time you are tempted to blame the government for all the things going wrong around you, get on your knees, think, pray and get back to work. Believe me, God rewards hardwork.

Everything good will come in its time if you don give up along the way. 

I'm back and better.

With Love,
