Everyone turns into a Yes-man to get a job after
college. That is why many people go through their
careers hating their job or jumping off from one
company to another. People go to college to get a
degree and to pursue their passion and interest.
Unfortunately, once they step outside the university
they make choices different from the things that they
want to be. They seem to become oblivious of their
own goals.
Uni doesn’t only prepare you for a job rather it’s a preparation for life. A college diploma will open doors of opportunities. It will show you how to get there. But remember, your destination — your future success — are yours to choose. Whether you’ve tailored a long-term plan or you see new possibilities for your future career, these powerful pieces of career advice
will empower you as you encounter difficulties in
facing reality.
“Enter every activity without giving mental
recognition to the possibility of defeat.
Concentrate on your strengths, instead of your
weaknesses… on your powers, instead of your
problems.”- Paul J. Meyer
Life in the real world is different from being a student.
Challenges are inevitable as well as failures. However,
if you focus on your strengths and use your
weaknesses to improve yourself, nothing is impossible
to a determined person.
“Success consists of going from failure to failure
without loss of enthusiasm.”- Winston Churchill
You are young. It’s okay to make mistakes. If you get
into a wrong career path, or you meet a bad boss, or
you’re dissatisfied with your job, it’s okay that’s
normal. In the span of your career journey, you will
surely make mistakes and fail many times. You’re still
inexperienced so enjoy exploring life. Fix your
mistakes and learn from them, then move forward-
That’s the joy of learning.
“Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of
value.”- Albert Einstein
Everyone wants to be successful in life. But instead of
running behind success, aim for excellence. Strive for
it and eventually you’ll become successful.
“Think big and don’t listen to people who tell you
it can’t be done. Life’s too short to think small.”-
Timothy Ferriss
Dream big and act on it to make it happen. Do what
you’re passionate about and embrace it. Whatever you
enjoy doing make it your profession. Satisfy your inner
interest before others. It’s you who can make your
dream come true and not them. Take a chance and
trust yourself.
“In between goals is a thing called life, that has
to be lived and enjoyed.”- Sid Caesar
You can concentrate on your goals but do not forget
to have life. Study effectively and work hard but don’t
forget to relax and enjoy a bit. Go out with friends and
have quality time with your family. Pursue your goals
while living a balanced life.
“The future belongs to those who believe in the
beauty of their dreams.”- Eleanor Roosevelt
Envision yourself living to your dream and figure out
how you can achieve it. If you dream to become a
business person, teacher, doctor, nurse, engineer, etc.
then plan how you’re going to reach it. No matter what
life throws at you, keep going and live to your purpose.
“Choose a job you love, and you will never have
to work a day in your life.”- Confucius
Do something that you have talent for and you love
doing. Using your interest as your basis in finding your
career path will help you determine the right direction
towards your goals. If you love your profession, you
will have a great time doing the job and less likely to
experience stress.
“Too many of us are not living our dreams
because we are living our fears.”- Les Brown
There will be moments when you doubt your own
ability to succeed. You lose enthusiasm and drive to
keep going. But instead of letting yourself defeat by
your own fears, why not give yourself a fair chance to
do everything that you can. You never know where
your courage will take you.
“Desire! That’s the one secret of every man’s
career. Not education. Not being born with
hidden talents. Desire.”- Bobby Unser
Having a strong desire or will is what keeps you from
achieving your goals. If you desire to succeed in life,
you can do everything to make your goal a reality. This
gives you hope, inspiration, and driving force to move
forward and accomplish something.
“To accomplish great things, we must not only
act, but also dream, not only plan, but also
believe.”- Anatole France
A dream without action is dead. Having dreams
without believing on it is useless. If you dream make
sure it’s big, plan on how to get it and be confident
that you can reach it. If you desire to get a particular
job, even if it seems impossible to achieve, never stop
believing and do your best to get it. You can start from
taking small steps until you reach goal.
“We become what we think about.”- Earl
Nightingale
While you’re young, have a clear vision of your future.
Even though you’re still clueless with your destination
just think of what you wanted to become. Fill your
mind with positive thoughts, dreams, and beliefs so
that it would manifest into your life. Stop worrying,
stop complaining. Do not let the idea of “what if’s”
corrupt your dreams. You might not control
everything that may happen to you but you have a
choice to take it or leave it behind.
“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but
it is the journey that matters, in the end.”- Ernest
Hemingway
It’s good to have a goal so you know where you’re
heading at. However, aside from focusing on your
destination, it’s the long journey that will matter in the
end. The goal of most college students probably is to
have a good career. You study hard to complete your
education and acquire the skills needed for your job
application. Of course, you can set your eyes towards
your goal but do not forget everything you’ve learned
and experienced while you’re on your way there.
“Opportunities don’t happen, you create them.”-
Chris Grosser
Successful people didn’t wait for opportunities to
knock on their doors. They created it that’s why they’re
reaping what they have sown. Apply this truth to your
life and you’ll definitely accomplish everything on your
own.
“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is
what keeps you going.”- Jim Ryun
Staying consistently motivated in reaching your goals
will eventually become your habit. If you continuously
do things properly then you’ll keep going until you get
to your destination. When you’re motivated, you have
a reason to do what you love.
“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The
most certain way to succeed is always to try just
one more time.”- Thomas A. Edison
Failures happen to anyone and yes, it happens all the
time. Don’t feel hopeless after failing many times. You
just have to understand perfectly the purpose of
failure in your life in order to realize that it is
something you need to succeed. Giving up will stop
you from achieving greatness and making a difference.
So instead of thinking about quitting, why not take it as
an opportunity to make things way better?
