Are you in the Right Path towards ur destiny?????

I always get motivated when I see or hear about people in Sports,Arts, Discovery, Nat Geo or a different profession ...sometimes I even feel jealous on them.Because these people have chosen their passion as their career.Only very few are gifted like them.
My childhood interest was on animals & luckily even after being a software engineer I still feel that I have an affinity towards animals & agriculture.I'm interested & ready to lead a simple life but in this modern society being simple means you are not successful. Even though we don't bother about the so called society, our near & dears bother a lot, it takes long time to persuade them. Till that time if we think of holding our talent\passion with in ourselves & pursue them after few years, we might end up in a situation where we might no longer be relevant to that profession.

So the best way to succeed in life is to first realize or decide where you need to reach. Then see that whether you are in the right path or not. If you are in right path then, ur lucky-try to ensure that you never change track. If ur not in the right path, then try to have ur talent\passion as ur hobby so that ur in touch with it and wait for the right junction to change the track.......

When I was thinking of writing this post I got the below fwd mail which I think would be relevant for this post..
 
A boat docked in a tiny Mexican fishing village.

A tourist complimented the local fishermen
on the quality of their fish and asked
how long it took him to catch them.

"Not very long." they answered in unison.

"Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?"

The fishermen explained that their small catches were
sufficient to meet their needs and those of their families.

"But what do you do with the rest of your time?"

"We sleep late, fish a little, play with our children,
and take siestas with our wives.
In the evenings, we go into the village to see our friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs.

We have a full life."

The tourist interrupted,

"I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you!
You should start by fishing longer every day.
You can then sell the extra fish you catch.
With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."

"And after that?"

"With the extra money the larger boat will bring,
you can buy a second one and a third one
and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers.
Instead of selling your fish to a middle man,
you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants
and maybe even open your own plant.

You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City , Los Angles , or even New York City !

From there you can direct your huge new enterprise. "

"How long would that take?"

"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years." replied the tourist.

"And after that?"

"After wards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting, " answered the tourist, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!"

"Millions?That's too much for us? Well, after that?" asked the fishermen.

"After that you'll be able to retire,
live peacefully in a tiny village near the coast,
sleep late, play with your children,
catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife
and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends."

"With all due respect sir, but that's exactly what we are doing now. So what's the point wasting twenty-five years ?" asked the Mexicans.

And the moral of this story is:
Know where you're going in life....
you may already be there
The End..........

Even after knowing where I need to reach, at times I feel like "....staying out longer and catch more!!!!!"
Might be I'm feeling insecure or trying to gather grains for the rainy days.... :-)
