When Work Doesn't Seem Like Work


You see the same story everywhere. People living mediocre lives because they're not meant to do the things they're currently doing. I see it everyday in college. Students forcing themselves to go to a certain college just because they received a scholarship there. They didn't want to burden their parents so they accepted it thinking they'll wing it throughout the next 4-5 years.

Big mistake.

Especially if you're taking engineering. Which is hell by the way.

I love it but even I know it's hell.

But I see students flunking classes, or skipping them cause they're not interested. Cause they forced themselves to be there, unwillingly when they'd rather be elsewhere. Their hearts not in it, so isn't their mind. 

It's important to choose something to learn/do that you're okay doing for the next 5-10 years the very least.  Explore your options, there are so many of them! But if you're already doing something you don't like and can't get out, then find a way to accept it and make the best out of it. Or else you might just end up like the zombies in my college. Without a purpose, not actually learning anything and taking things for granted without realising they've had the greatest opportunity to study something great which engineers the technology of what people are using today. Of course, I don't meant everyone in my campus are zombies without a cause.

You have to realise that whatever energy you put into something, it has to be worthwhile. Even if it is just for you. Be inspired, then do something inspirational!
