Passion or Profession?!

Its been what? 3 years since my last post! and on public demand I am Back. well not really the public demand but cause i have lots of time to kill :p and the reason being unemployment.
Dont we all have that phase, that time in our lives where we have no fucking clue as to what now?
"yeh toh kar liya! ab aage kya?"
i have decided to write about the one of the biggest dilemma in life which i am sure most of you will agree to have had at one point of time!

whether to follow your Passion or to pursue some Profession!

lucky are those who can and have combined and made their passion their profession!
Not all of us are from those few. so we gotta make a choice. A choice thats gonna define who we will be in the future and what kind of a life are we gonna lead. 
People often think of having a passion for travel,music,writing,cooking,etc. But do all of us have what it takes to follow your passion? cause lets face it the pay for a newbie in any such creative(or non creative) field isnt the one that can give you a lifestyle that you may want. maybe that is the reason why people choose to take a job or run some commercial business and try to secure a good and comforting future. There is nothing wrong in doing so. infact i think it takes a lot of courage to give up on your dreams and follow something else. some do it for the money some for family and some for both.
you keep convincing your self that someday you are going to quit everything and chase that dream of yours! live that passion of yours but more often than not..you dont!
some people live their lives happily with the path they chose and some people live filled with regrets!
regret of not quitting that job and traveled the world! regret of not taken time for music lessons! regret of not cooking for others! 
regret of not writing something that touched their lives!

I personally think that everyone has to choose between these two in their lives and trust me its never too late to change your choice ever! if you have chased your passion long enough there always time to settle down and the same for getting of your asses and do what you love! 

i mean why do we have to live like others have! people always say that 20-30 is the age of setting a career and its very difficult to jump between careers after that! TRUE! you may have double the responsibilities double the pressure but there is never any rule against it! no one knows what they want to do in life,what to do with their life! thats when motivational posters like the one from left comes to help :p  you try out different things,learn from your mistakes and then eventually someday you figure it out! life is just run on Trial and Error base.
my advice would be that whatever profession you work..you gotta find the passion and if you really cant then there should be no harm in quitting and finding it somewhere else! everyone should have the freedom to do it and more importantly everyone should have the friggin guts to do it.
Many people like me i am sure are uncertain about what road to take ahead no matter at what age they are.
people often say that uncertainty is bad in life! i say if you arent uncertain how will you try new things out?
and never to think that your passion for something is not worth following cause you may not be good at it or you wont be able to pursue it cause remember "People who are Crazy enough to think they can change the world..Are the Ones who Actually do" -Steve Jobs (probably the best quote from the shitty Jobs movie :/ but i ll control my feelings about such shitty movies:p )

so be Uncertain, be Passionate and Live your dream while your still alive!

untill next time then ;)
