Choosing a career is one of the most significant decisions you'll make in life. It shapes your path, influences your daily routine, and defines how you contribute to the world. Yet, many aspiring students struggle to make the right choice, often feeling lost, pressured by societal expectations, or overwhelmed by the sheer number of possibilities. Why does this happen, and how can you navigate your way to the right career for yourself? Let’s explore the reasons why many students fail to choose a career that fits them and how you can make a well-informed choice by considering the right aspects and conducting thorough research. Why Many Aspiring Students Struggle Lack of Self-Awareness : Many students don’t take the time to truly understand their strengths, interests, and values. Without this self-awareness, they are more likely to make decisions based on what others expect of them or what seems trendy, rather than what aligns with who they are.

Why do most successful people write books? One of my students asked me this recently, and to my surprise, I didn’t have an immediate answer. It was one of those questions that made me pause and reflect on something I had never deeply considered before. Sure, I’ve always enjoyed writing—it's been a way for me to express myself, even a stress buster at times. But is that why successful people write? As I began to reflect, I realized that the reasons could be numerous, and likely, they vary from person to person. Yet, there is something universally compelling about successful individuals choosing to share their thoughts and experiences through the written word. Perhaps they write to capture their journey—the ups, the downs, the lessons learned along the way. For many, their story is their greatest asset. They have lived through the trials, made the mistakes, and found their way to success. Writing could be their way of leaving behind a roadmap for others, a way of saying,
Forgiveness is a powerful force. Yet, perhaps even more important is asking for forgiveness—acknowledging the harm we’ve caused, often unintentionally. We’ve all been there. Caught up in the busyness of life—whether it’s work, stress, or even something trivial—we say something without thinking. In that moment, we don’t realize the weight of our words or how they come across. And later, when we reflect, we may brush it off, wondering, “What’s the big deal?” But that small moment could have done more damage than we ever intended. It becomes especially hard when the person on the receiving end of our outburst is someone we care for and respect. Hindsight offers clarity that wasn’t there in the heat of the moment. In that instant, it’s not just the other person who is bruised emotionally; we hurt ourselves, too. It’s in these moments that empathy changes everything. When we stop and consider the other person’s perspective, we see the pain we may have caused—and it’s a sobering
Life is full of choices. We choose where to live, whom to spend time with, and even how to spend our days. Yet, there is one choice that we often overlook, and it is arguably the most important one—the choice of our attitude. While we may not control everything that happens to us, we always have the power to choose how we respond. This choice defines how we experience life and, more importantly, how we live it. Why Choosing a Positive Attitude Matters Our attitude acts as a lens through which we perceive the world. When we choose a positive attitude, we are not merely being optimistic; we are opening ourselves to possibilities, growth, and resilience. It sets the tone for how we handle challenges, build relationships, and engage with life’s uncertainties. A positive attitude allows us to stay grounded when things don’t go as planned. It helps us see opportunities in obstacles, lessons in setbacks, and beauty in the mundane. It helps us live our lives better—not by avoiding difficulties
In our fast-paced world, the simple act of being present often feels like a luxury. We’re constantly juggling multiple tasks, planning the next step, or replaying past moments in our minds. And in doing so, we miss the most important thing—the present. Why do we struggle with this? Why is it so hard to just be in the moment? Part of the reason lies in how we’ve trained our minds. We equate busyness with productivity, always thinking about the next goal, the next task, or the next achievement. One of the biggest culprits is our fear of missing out (FOMO). We're constantly bombarded with images of others enjoying themselves, and it can be tempting to compare our lives to theirs. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and a constant desire to be somewhere else. Another reason is our tendency to worry about the future or dwell on the past. We may be anxious about upcoming events or regretful about past mistakes, which can prevent us from fully engaging in the present. Addi
Have you ever stopped to truly appreciate the simple joys of life? In our fast-paced world, filled with constant distractions and endless demands, it's easy to overlook the beauty and contentment that can be found in the most ordinary moments. Yet, it is within these simple pleasures that we often discover the most profound happiness and fulfillment. What are these simple joys? They are the quiet moments of solitude, the laughter shared with loved ones, the beauty of nature, the satisfaction of a job well done, the comfort of a warm bed, and the simple act of being present. They are the everyday experiences that often go unnoticed, yet they hold the power to enrich our lives and bring us a sense of peace and contentment. Why do we so often miss out on these simple joys? Perhaps it's because we're always looking for the next big thing, the next grand adventure. We're so focused on achieving our goals and pursuing our dreams that we forget to savor the present
In the rush of life, we often believe that busyness is a sign of success. We fill our schedules, our minds, and our spaces, leaving little room for anything that doesn’t scream productivity. But what happens when every moment is occupied? Where do we go to find meaning, to reflect, to simply be? Empty spaces in life are not voids; they are fertile ground for growth. They are the quiet between thoughts, the pauses in conversation, the breath between actions. These spaces hold the potential for creativity, reflection, and understanding that we often overlook in our quest for accomplishment. Yet, many of us struggle to create and embrace these spaces, and here’s why. Why Don’t We Have Empty Spaces? One of the main reasons we avoid empty spaces is discomfort. Stillness can be unsettling. In a world that glorifies constant activity, empty spaces feel like wasted time. We’ve been conditioned to believe that every moment must be accounted for, used for something tangible, measurab
