Directions (Q. 56-60) : Read the following passage and answer the questions based on it. Choose the most appropriate answer.
Every day new careers and professional opportunities emerge. No matter how much each career option excites you, you will have to prioritize and choose the best option for yourself. Your personality, interests, abilities, aspirations, strengths and weaknesses will help you to decide the most viable option for you. The following exercises are important for career planning, and following these will ensure that you are on the right track.
Self-Assessment : The entire process of career planning should be ideally done in conjunction with your career counsellor, so that you have professional help at every step. A trained career counsellor can help you identify a variety of professions in which you can excel. Remember to keep your list of possible professions long, so that your confidence in yourself does not wane.
When I took my test, the long list of professions included being a florist, teacher, counsellor, doctor and sales executive. The very idea that I have an aptitude for several professions - and not just to be a doctor - was very comforting. I thought to myself, "When patients get tired of me I can always be a salesman!" Do not let anyone ever tell you that you are good for nothing. Each one of us has several talents, and it is important to first identify them, and then work hard to develop them.
Self-Analysis: Another important aspect of self-assessmentis self-analysis or soul searching. We are the best judge of our abilities strengths and weaknesses. If you concentrate and decide to be honest with yourself, self-analysis can help you understand your career options better.
Need for Planning : If you ask adults around you whether they actually became what they had wanted to become when they were young, chances are that very few of them actually became what they had aspired towards in childhood. This may not essentially be a reflection of their failure but an indication of change. Circumstances change, ideas change, and so do people. By the time you grow up, you may end up working in professions that neither you nor your parents know about today. Of course some of you may get to work in traditional professions and move along a well-planned path. Whatever the consequence of your planning, the truth about matting a plants that it may not work. But in the words of Henry C. Link, if "you do make a plan, the chances of getting what you want significantly increase."
But one thing is quite certain: only those of you who work hard at your studies, acquire new skills as' you move along in life, involve yourself in cultural /sports activities and attempt to plan your life will be successful.
