I have noticed many times if a person finds anyone doing well in any profession or Career then without delay starts thinking to choose the same one I am unable to understand how can anyone do this, even think of it. While our aptitude, attitude, interests, aspirations, and level of understanding are different from others it has been already proved that all of us are quite different from one another. 

The people know the truth but it seems they don't want to realize it when they are making choices in different fields of life they usually select those options which have been already chosen by most of the people around them. Why they are doing so, in my opinion, the habit of following a crowd has developed in them therefore they ignore even their instincts. 

I would like to share an incident with a boy who lived in my neighborhood he was 10  or12at that time and wanted to be a good player in badminton. One day I noticed he was carrying a cricket bat and ball I was so amazed to see a bat in his hands 👏rather than a racquet, I couldn't stop myself to asking where was his racquet he answered that he wanted to be a cricketer now he had lost his passion for badminton than I asked him an expected question,   why he was doing so?

 But his answer was very unexpected he told me that “a lot of people are playing cricket  they are taking it as a career  even his classmates like to opt cricket to make  their fortunes in this field anyone can  earn  name and fame easily.” 

His answer bewildered me, still, remember at that time  I didn't utter a single word but I wanted to make him realize his mistake one day I called him at my place and elaborated on the different aspects that were related to his attitude,  attributes intelligence, and most important skills when I started talking about his attitude,  attributes, interests and most importantly, his skills the way he was responding,  it was enough o conclude that the change was there for the sake of changing only rather than a passion. 

Because when I asked him would he like to play badminton a sudden shine in his eyes and a broad smile on his face, was indicating another story.  He was ignoring his passion it made me realize that still he had got a strong liking for badminton  Now it’s my turn to make him aware of his passion his real talent that is badminton. 

I told him the  fact  “If most of the people are doing   the same thing, it does not mean that they are doing   the right one.” Then after some time, he realized that he was on a wrong track got back to that he wanted to be. You must be thinking how do we people become victims of this way of thinking.?  Those who have no faith in their decision-making power can easily carry away they usually look for people to help them in reaching a certain decision.  

They do not think independently and always try to make decisions based on their suggestions or the way they are doing things.  It has been witnessed whenever the students are choosing the career options they would like to go either based on their friend’s choices or they want to follow their elders who are making progress in their respective fields. 

These people don't make their decisions because they get scared of taking risks. Most of the time it happens they don't make decisions in fear of failure,  they are unable to realize the fact. This mindset will seize all the paths of success in their life.  In my opinion, we should develop the habit of taking our decisions independently because the nature situations and interests of life of each person are different, so the same rules or decisions are not applicable for all people. 

A person should not go according to his desires. First of all, you have to weigh your capabilities and interests before choosing anything in life, if you do so it will help you in making progress in the future.  It has been rightly saying, “First deserve then desire” Always take decisions based on what is good or bad for you. You must be benefitted from it in the long run.

 If a lot of people are moving in the same direction don't get confused, that they have got a certain vision and mission that's why they are moving in the same direction let them. You don't follow them, otherwise, you will be lost in the crowd.
