Everyone has the need to realize the abilities and talents that were laid in him at birth. This is extremely important, because it fills our life with meaning, determines the spiritual development of the human person and is one of the most important features that distinguishes man from animals. In each of us there is a spark of God and our direct duty is to reveal it to the world around us.
The most natural way to realize the inner potential of a person is his professional activity. Our society is arranged in such a way that each person must do some work every day. It is through work and professional activity that a person can develop his creative potential, know himself and make this world a little bit better.
The choice of work is a very important and responsible decision on which the future life of a person depends. The right choice can make your life happy and rich, and the wrong one can lead to degradation and mental disorder. Profession and success of a person in his field of activity is a very important factor in modern society. However, one should not forget that a person can become successful only in the field that he likes and brings moral satisfaction.
A modern person spends almost all his life in the workplace: we leave our home early in the morning and return at the end of the day. What could be worse than spending a lifetime doing an unloved thing?
How to choose a profession like?
This question is one of the main issues facing the modern man. It is important not only for schoolchildren and students who only choose their way of life, but also in front of each of us, for it is never too late to change their life and make it complete and harmonious.
Also, do not forget the fact that the choice of a future profession also directly affects the financial situation of a person, which is very important in the modern world.
How to choose and what mistakes can be made
The problem of choosing a profession is particularly acute for young people, schoolchildren and students, who must make one of the most important decisions in their lives.
Mistakes when choosing a profession.
1. Choice of profession "for the company". A schoolboy, choosing a higher education institution, in which he is going to enroll, takes an example from his friends or just acquaintances. This is a very wrong approach. Each person is individual, therefore, the specialty must be chosen on the basis of his own preferences and talents. Even if your choice stumbles upon a misunderstanding of your friends and acquaintances.
2. The choice of the first specialty. Very often, young people go to the first higher education institution or get employed in any available job, believing that they are unable to enter a serious educational institution or occupy a prestigious job. Lack of faith in one’s own strength is a very big problem that hinders personal growth. It is very good if there is a person with a lot of experience, who can give practical advice, support. In principle, parents should do this, but, unfortunately, this is not always the case. Always believe in yourself - only the one who does nothing is not mistaken. Feel free to set goals in front of you and strive to achieve them - this is the key to success.
3. Orientation to the prestige of the profession. Trying to get a profession that is currently fashionable is a very bad tactic. Firstly, the world is changing rapidly - in a few years the profession you have chosen may lose its popularity, and, secondly, it may not suit you at all. In this case, forecasts regarding the labor market, which are prepared by serious experts, may be useful. In them you can learn about the prospects of a particular specialty in the future.
4. parental pressure. It would seem that parents should tell their child how to decide on the choice of profession. However, in reality, the opposite often happens: parents insist on choosing a specialty that does not suit the young man at all. They act out of the best of intentions, but, as you know, they sent the road to hell. Psychologists believe that insisting on a certain choice of profession for their child, adults often realize their own unrealized dreams.
For a young man who does not have his life experience, it is very difficult to resist the pressure of parents. Try to make this decision by yourself, carefully considering it.
5. Passion for the outside of the specialty. So often happens with insufficient knowledge of any specialty. People often see the external (bright and attractive) side of any work and do not notice the hard and painstaking work that goes with it. Behind a beautiful ten-minute TV spot, prepared by a journalist, there is a multi-day collection of information. The bright performance of the artist is the result of many years of rehearsals and training. In order not to miscalculate with the profession, you must try to learn about it as much as possible.
Look in the Internet, read books, and best of all communicate with people who have chosen the specialty you are interested in. To achieve heights in any field of activity, it is necessary to put a lot of effort.
6. Refusal of the chosen specialty because of its “frivolousness” or under-prestige. In fact, all professions are important, respect is not a specialty, but a specific person and his skill level.
7. Incorrect assessment of its features. A person with no hearing is unlikely to succeed on the stage, and a sick heart will forever close the way to you as pilots or sportsmen. These examples are the most obvious, but there are others. Each specialty has its own nuances.
8. Transfer of attitude to a particular person in his profession. Many choose their future profession under the influence of sympathy for one person. This may be a favorite artist, athlete, famous journalist or just a good friend. Little attention is paid to the features of the profession itself. This is wrong, because it is precisely the well-chosen path of life that has endowed your idol with all the qualities that you like so much.
