“Never chase opportunities. Let it come to you by creating value and building rare skillsets.- Johannes Larsson”
Students are often stuck in the conundrum of how to get what they are dreaming for? Often oscillating between in and out of their fairy tale. Just thinking and more thinking and overthinking. Breeding tension and not doing things. Not taking the first steps, hoping for spoon feeding. Expecting for direction to be shown, waiting for aid to appear.
We would discuss about Freshers, college freshers. Who are perplexed because of too many dreams, which are not realistic but tempting to crave upon. This statement was about the majority of students. But the small pie from the circle is the one who wants to do things, achieve heights and pass the limits with flying colors.
So, if you have been dancing, then you would find coordination in your body, between your movements, you would find good and active posture. It would help you during presentations, during meetings, during conversation. Similarly, it is not about doing everything or doing one thing in depth.
It is about connecting the things that you do with the activities that are alien or new to you. That is how you remain curious, you experience creativity. You ask questions of how to do this, you take your time, you do focus, you find some way and you are satisfied. So now the fire of desire in you burns brighter and you aim higher. It helps you in being consistent.
