22 tak padhai, 25 pe naukri, 26 pe chokri, 30 pe bachche, 60 pe retirement ... aur phir maut ka intezaar
The above concept mentioned in Ye jawaani hai deewani makes me think about what are we doing to our life. More than 50% of people in India doesn't work on their passion, they are forced to choose a career to fulfil the above mentioned concept.
I'm a writer, I write code is the story of millions. Imagine, if you would have opted career related to your passion, how satisfied you would be! May be you would have not earned much or may be more than you think, but the amount of happiness would have been much more. Not being satisfied is the root cause of all sadness. If you follow your passion with full determination, you would be satisfied. The best thing would be you will never regret in your 60's that you never attempted what you wanted to do or achieve.
I know it's difficult to leave everything to follow your passion. But "ek baar toh try karna banta hai yaar".
I come across various people on daily basis who say something like: I wanted to be a movie director but I am an engineer....I wanted to be an entrepreneur but I am a bank manager....I wanted to be a singer but I am a dentist and so on.
The theory looks similar as explained by Rancho in 3 idiots. I feel sad that after watching a sensible movie, we don't learn from it. We say: Yeah, it is a good concept but not practical. Dude..How can you can say about the taste of the food without even tasting it.
Anyways it's personal choice whether to follow your passion or not but I would suggest, at least make an attempt once in your lifetime.
Be your thought leader and you need no title to do that. :)
