PIVOTING - Your Career Midway

 

Not really feeling like working for the company you are in right now???  Would like to methodically change your career path into some other industry ??? 

 

Let us normalize people pivoting their career midway and COVID-19 has made many of the individuals PIVOT their career from one Industry to another. This has opened many opportunities in the Industry that have just started their business. i.e. Startups. 

Why does Pivot happen ?? When an individual comes to a point in their career where they see no change and growth, they feel stuck and just imagine working in an industry that he/she has no interest in. First, let us understand the meaning of Pivoting your career?

Jenny Blake (Author) - ''I define a career pivot as doubling down on what is working to make a purposeful shift in a new, related direction''

This just means making a career shift from one industry to another or from one position to another within the company. One should plan accordingly and this process can be done in 4 phases.

1. Plant       2. Scan.      3. Pilot        4. Launch 

Plant the seeking opportunity in the market and scan for such opportunity, whether it be an industry change or a position change or change in roles and responsibility. I suggest and do believe that pivot should only be done if it is needed and you feel like doing it, you can't wake up every day and pivot your career; that's not suggested and it shows your instability. 

Look at your skills, understand where they can be used, and enhance them where it is needed. This will always help you in Pivoting your career. I'll end this one quote

SKY - My Escape from Reality

 ''SKY - My Escape from Reality''

The image that we capture through our camera lens does no justice to the thing we see and feel while looking at the SKY. It gives you the immense pleasure of how the world is and what beauty it has in it. The way you look at the clouds and see the changing colors of the sky during the Sunrise and the Sunset; making them the most amazing time of the day because when the sun rises it has a different shade and when the sun sets it has a different shade. Nature does surprise us with its amazing beauty.

While learning about the different shades of sunsets and sunrise, I came across the word ''OPACAROPHILE'' remembering that I'm OPACAROPHILE. It gives me an escape from reality, where all the time things are not good, but while looking at the sky it makes me believe that everything is gonna OKAY for the moment, and hence, I escape from the reality. The relation that I've had with such mornings and evenings is during the lockdown period due to COVID - 19 Lockdown. Times were really difficult for each and everyone and things didn't seem positive and lots of negativity was spread with the virus. I found that ''optimism'' in the sky finding hope and a ray of a belief that things will go back to normal as they used to be.

The sky is serene and makes you forget all the negative things running in your mind. As it is said that there is always a bright morning after a dark night, It made sense to me and I started believing in the same.

Nothing stays permanent, not even the people in your lives nor the feelings you have attached to them. Everything is temporary.

Everybody Hates Homework

Everybody Hates Homework  

 

Homework? 

What is Homework? 

Why do we have to do it? 

Is there paranoia in kids for doing up their homework? 

Why do kids hate doing their homework? 

 

''Isn't it funny that there are the majority of people who use to hate doing homework in our childhood''

This has been a practice that has been started by the United States of America or we can say that it is an American Culture. Kids are given up homework for the sake that they may do it in relation to understand what has been taught in the class and do not forget it while coming the next day for the school. 

Homework, or a homework assignment, is a set of tasks assigned to students by their teachers to be completed outside the class. Common homework assignments may include required reading, a writing or typing project, mathematical exercises to be completed, information to be reviewed before a test, or other skills to be practiced. In simple words, homework is the work that you have to do at your home or a task that is given to you by your respective teachers.  

The idea of doing homework is just to make the kids revise what they have been taught in the classwork and make them do it again while going home so that they may not forget it. The main purpose of homework is to revise. The reason some of the kids feel really bored doing it and the parents force their kids to do it with great difficulty.  

There is an effect of anxiety that follows back in the mind of a child after studying for 7-8 hours in school and then coming back home relaxing for 2-3 hours and then going back to the schedule of doing homework. Kids are also been scared of not doing homework and then making up silly excuses for not doing it. There is an element of fear in the kid's mind that emerges when he/she has not done their home assignments. The fear is of humiliation, scolding, sometimes a bitter tone of the teacher in front of the other kids. 

The kids do hate doing homework is because; 

1. They simply don't feel like doing it after so many hours of studying in the school 
2. The kids feel is it a waste of time repeating the same thing taught in school 
3. Kids are piled up with so much work and other classes after school that they feel tired doing it. 
4. It requires a lot of effort; effort is not fun.  
5. They feel burdened and sometimes it increases stress levels in the minds of kids. 
6. Kids just love to spend their gala time enjoying themselves 

 

''Being a kid is a hard task in this 21st century where kids have to do study for 7-8 hours in school have some extra classes after coming from the school, no enough rest time or playtime to enjoy the kid life while being a kid'' 

 

 

Is it Love, Obsession or Affection?

What is the difference between obsession, love, and affection? 

There is a minor difference between all these three words, obsession comes when you love the person so much, so much that you want them everywhere, you control them, you become over-possessive and make things difficult for the person you love. Obsession can turn into real dark love that someone will never dream about and then one might need relief from that kind of love. Obsession is something one should understand and should not ever compare with the word love. This thing degrades the essence of love. 

Where love is the most beautiful feeling in this whole wide world. Love is where you give them space wherever needed, love them with all of their imperfections, cause there is nobody who is perfect in this world. Loving them allows you to make them free for whatever they want to do in their life while guiding them on the right path. People say I Love You to; too many people without meaning them, the reason the value of love and the idea of love has been underrated in the eyes of humans.

Affection is what people feel for the one they like, loving and liking them are two different things. One great man I don't know about has explained the meaning of liking and loving very beautifully. If you love a rose, you will water it every day; whereas if you like that rose you will pluck it out. This is what actually is happening in this world. People use the person they love and then remove(pluck) them out from their life. Affection is just liking the person for a while and then forget them very easily. You might regret what you have done while having affection for a person, but that doesn't make you a bad person. 

It's funny how loving someone more makes you obsessed with them, loving them less makes you feel like you're having affection towards them, and loving them just perfectly is how to be termed as love. It's just complicated shit that fucks your mind to the core.

GHOSTING: A new trend in relationships.

Trends in the relationship follow up with the changing scenario in the modern world. The Next-gen of Social Media has made a huge impact on people's lives, whether it be a niche platform such as Dating Apps or solid platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, or others. People connect through these platforms and explore the world of Social Media. The very fact that people connect to social media is basically for passing their time, finding some to talk to, or knowing what is going around the world of their friend's life and as well as the literal word WORLD.

 

The word that has been trending nowadays or which has been heard by many of us is called "GHOSTING"

Wikipedia says:

 "Ghosting is a colloquial term used to describe the practice of ceasing all communication and contact with a partner, friend, or similar individual without any apparent warning or justification and subsequently ignoring any attempts to reach out or communicate made by said partner, friend, or individual"

 

Lets us understand the meaning of Ghosting in layman language; it refers to the connection of one person to another through any medium in which they communicate and then one person suddenly disappears and breaks the connection. This has been into the world after the rise of Social Media Platforms in the early '20s when people used the platforms for making new connections. This trend has rage into some bad repercussions of the use of social media for the innocent people out there.

How has it affected the relationships?

Ghosting has been a bad culture of the millennial. Some tend to be up online for some talking pleasure and some are there for some fun. It really affects the meaning that people are finding nowadays before getting into a relationship with a partner. One will dominate the other in the pleasure of getting some things done and then will disappear without any warning. This makes weak presumptions in the mind of people who are willing to be in a good relationship with a partner and who then eventually won't find someone for a long time in a fear of rejection. Mostly the ones who fall for it, go out in making a bad decision and question themselves about what they have done in finding someone as a partner. People turn out to be a stupid and complete idiots after being ghosted as the relevance of experience.

How to not fall for it?

• Don't be vulnerable in a deep search of relationships.
• Don't get anyone to treat you like shit.
• Don't let anyone ignore you for their benefit.
• Don't let anyone dominate you on an everyday basis, make your stand.
• Don't let anyone take up your mental peace.

Ghosting does not only relate to the word Relationship, people get ghosted by their friends, employer, recruiter, family, and sometimes relatives too. Be aware and don't really fall for such incidents in your life, because coping from this is the only option left at the end.

 

 

"The Idea of LOVE"

''The Idea of LOVE"

 

LOVE? 

What is LOVE? 

What is the idea of LOVE? 

 

There are different experiences that people have in relation to love, some say Love is Blind, some say Being in love is the most beautiful feeling in the world and some also say that Love is waste of time, but the real fact is, the idea of love varies from people to people on the basis of their experiences.  Some might have the best and some might have the worst. It depends on the individual and the experiences from it. 

The experience one can have can be both of it, good and bad but from different individuals or the same individual at different time periods. In your heart, you might think that the person you love is the only person in this whole wide world, that the one you love will be always there for you at any time of life. But then, life takes a sudden turn and all the expectations come to an end. And then you feel empty and you feel the power of getting hurt by the one whom you thought will never break your expectations. The hurt you feel in love is all because one did not do the things you expected from them. This is what hurt means in love 'EXPECTATIONS'.  

Love can also be the best feeling in the world where you feel alive seeing the person you love and feeling the things that they feel. You feel like giving them everything in this world. You also feel like being the most loyal person in this world, you do anything for the whether you are in the condition of doing it or not. Love makes people do things that they never did for anyone, but then life again takes a sudden turn and you do something that the person whom you love never expected from you, and that thing hurts you and from that things get complicated.

 

KARMA plays a vital role in everybody's life. The main purpose of karma is to serve people what they deserve in action to the things they have done. Sometimes you love the person and then some other person comes into your life. Life makes you closer to the second person and things become really easy for you to live. You feel like being alive again and that makes you so happy that you forget that there is someone in your life (first person). You started the journey with the second person in the thought of friendship, but how can you be friends with the person you love. The Mind never understands the heart and you can feel it by understanding the situation you are in. Then comes the power of KARMA, you didn't give attention to the person that has loved you, and now the person whom you are loving is not giving you the attention. This is how the cycle of karma works and when the time comes it will give you the best learning in your life, the same learning will give you the idea of living the life in the upcoming future. Learning is a must, whether from good or bad situations.  

Despite being in the world of crazy humans, we try to live our life normally, there are some humans who are fighting the war within. The war sometimes becomes so big that one tries to escape from it and from doing so they hurt the people they love and make a careless decisions. Love has the power of bringing something down to earth and making them feel like crap and as well as it has the power to make you feel amazing though. It all depends on the experiences one has from it.
