WAYS TO IDENTIFY YOUR SKILLS

There is something different in every person; all it takes is to reveal that unique thing!

Do what you love is a common statement but how to find where a person’s interest lies. When a person give his entire life to something, a job or a business, the basic motivation to keep going is whether their interest lie in that particular domain. Without interest one can stretch for few years but what after that! The day will come when they will quit. A person can achieve to his potential and more only in the field he is interested in. as Albert Einstein said, ‘Every person is a genius but if you judge a fish with its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its entire life believing that it’s stupid.’

Now the big question here is how to identify our most valuable skills and then use them to build our carrier. First thing that could be done is to look for stuff or analyze the things you like and dislike since your childhood and unknowingly you are just doing them in order become stress free from work pressure. For example some people writes, some reads, some have a knack for painting etc. When we make our interest the base of carrier building, we will surely soar higher and higher.

Another thing to find where your interest lie is to seek advice and guidance from a consultant. These days in schools there is a great system where before a student has to opt for the subject, a personality test is conducted in order to make the students know their interests and the carrier line they must opt for rather running in a sheep herd like all. This strategy must be applied even when a person is opting for a job or business. This can make it easy for people to analyze where they actually belong to.

There is another reason that even after knowing where their interest lie is the fear of failure, fear of society. Our society is not at all supportive for the people who have the courage to build something different from the rest. The lack of support from family becomes a major issue for many people who do not opt for carrier line according to their interests.

Nothing comes easy. One has to fight for what they want. Nothing is going to be served to you on a platter. You have to cook from the raw material. The fact states, that the percentage of people who are successful today are successful because they chose a carrier line according to their interest and not because of some external pressure.
