Life is full of options these days..whatever it be..
We have options..BJP or Congress ???
Wipro bus or APSRTC ???
Flat or PG ???
Cook food or call Dominoz ??? If not Instant MAGGI :) hehe
Aerobics or yoga..???
(Ritz ad says we dont have an option in Cars other than them.. good for Ritz)
so was juggling with some career options.. and found it was pure C++..!!!We all inherit some readymade goals from our parents/society..goals which will guarantee u a succesfulimage even if u are not..!!!just like how instant sambhar powder gives u sambhar with a taste not exactly uwanted and u can claim that u made sambhar or u had sambhar for lunch.. no onecares about how was the sambhar ( Data abstraction ??? )so point is readymade goals..For most of us this can be as follows..
Study well in school..Score well in maths..score above 80/85/90 ( Level1/Level2/Level3) in board exams..Crack entrances and be in a good engineering college..Get placed with some tier 1 company..after 2 years write all Bschool entrances.. Get into some top level Bschool..Get placed in some bada company as a manager.. if u are not getting to a bschool , earn a lot of money as an engineer.. Glad to meet u Mr.Successs …!!!who ever does this is socially accepted as succesful eventhough ur dream was to be a writer and u hate IT.. You eventually end up as a “role model” for ur younger cousins for how to be “Succesfull”… and these days i am realizing tht i am not soo happy with this“readymade goal” system.. problem is i am always looking outside.. if i am doing well as my peers i am happy and if I am doing bad and my peers also doing bad , even then I am Ok..means i am having same Okness inspite of what my performance is.. all tht work is theory of relativity..!!!I have seen ppl so happy and talented and working smart. One fine day they become so unhappyand frustrated saying he/she is a loser.. and if u ask the reason nothing changed for the person.. but something changed for others around the person.. happens to me also.. its not jealousy.. just a side effect of ”Readymade goals”.. We donno what we actually wantin life.. We are doing things as Others do and pretending to be happy bcoz others think u are succesful.. and we are just copying or inheriting goals which ensures ”success” becoz some otherX,Y or Z was called succesful following these steps and may be that X,Y, or Z inherited those stepsfrom some other P,Q or R for the same reason..and when one day u see urself ”less succesful” thanur peers it hurts and u start calling urself a loser and others also start calling u a loser bcoz u urself says so.So how come this goals object oriented..
Virtual Goal functions.. we inherit them from base ( Society/Family )we have two options.. override it.. or use the sameone we got from society.some smart and brilliant ppl override them to suit their own goals and dreams and start working forthem. so all time they know what they want and what they have to do and what difference their actions make in their life..they are happy and most importantly they wont compare them with otherss.. they have their own goals and they are working on it.I have a friend who stoped engineering studies as he was so passionate about stock trading.. and today he is succesfully running a Finance company in bangalore.. I know another friend who quit his job for another job which pays half of his previous salary and he says he is happy bcoz he is learning his fav field AeroModelling ( or something like tht..) and Today i got a Fwd which said abt a young girl from kerala who is the youngest CEO in the world ( http://www.edesign.co.in/ ) and here I am thinking about them as “Lucky ppl”.and majority on the other side ( In India its always safe to be with the majority ) dont override them and will keep on getting socially defined “Return Values” and starts complaining that “life is boring”@ the age of 25..!!!Lets hope for a tomorrow where all inherited “functions” are declared pure virtual functions so that a next generation can override all of them so as to help to achieve their dream and passion.
If someone want to ask me why i am not overriding my functions today instead of wishing tomorrow’s kids success.. come on.. i am 25 years old.. and its tooooo old for a change.. hehe
