Human role (career choosing part 2)

Since I had been getting positive reviews on my writing about career, I guess its fair if I speak more.

 Why human role? As I said formerly, everyone has their role in the world whatever they are, salesman sell things to people, musicians entertain people.. and so it goes...
Thus, life is about choosing, there are many thing to choose from and in the end you'll be the one making the decision. Some people said 'aaa my mum ask me to be a doctor' but you are the one who have the final word agree or not. Right?

And again as I said before, everyone have different things they want in the world. Not everyone live for money believe me, there are people who is just kind hearted and want to live their life helping people, and some just want to live a moderate life with the people they love. Again- its your choice. You know what you want deep inside your heart..

To the main point, human roles are classified into:-

1. Leaders
2. The one who assist the leader
3. Law handlers
4. The one who protect the country
5. People who help others
6. Seller
7. The academics
8. Entertainers
9. Artists

1. Leaders. Normally you will hear that some individuals are born leader. Of course its not so true, just that this people have the determination to be one and some just have no interest in it. Leaders are people who can talk (though predominantly they only talk nonsense), but they can convince people and lead them to their vision. Examples like ministers, politician, CEO, and much more. To reach this point, typically they will start from bottom which is no 2. The one who assist the leader- these are secretaries, office workers, clerks, cashiers, accountants, actuarists and really a lot more... They do the processes works and little stuffs for their company or organisation or even country. People from here can jump to no 1 or not depends on how good they are.

3. Laws are manage by judges, lawyers, police officers. They ensure law breakings are keep as minimum as possible. These kind of human need a very sharp mind and person who doesn't care lot about morality when they need to defend the wrong people.

Everyone know no 4 needs a patriotic self. No 5 are people who dedicated their life in helping others, these include doctors, dentists, vets, firefighters et cetera. These kinds they work with people, they need to be socially pleasant and have the heart to nurse people. Reach put people who are in pain or danger. Take doctors and dentists, they will take 5-6 years course and it is tough, but if you think about it they are not paid so high as to be a millionaires and all, that's why they must set their minds to benefit people when they work.

6. Seller- salesperson, businessmen and women, promoters.. Retail anything from gold to services to groceries whatever they are they demand more social person, convincing people to buy things are not so easy. But nevertheless, most rich people in the world are from this area.

7. The academics.. Teachers, lecturers, researchers, scientist, writers.. brains and full devotion are involved. Dedication to teach younger generations, or making researchs, finding new things that the world has to offer. Usually researchers are genius people who don't really like to be social, they like what they are doing, hanging out in a lab or something. These are for people who like to study and study and don't want to deal with BS stuffs with other people.. or have a lot of curiosities about life.

8. Entertainers are musicians, singers, actors, and crew behind those kind of things. And these are those who are looking for fame and publicity. They need to sacrifice their privacy. Live while been watch by paparazzi. They need talent, it doesn't just take hard work to be great in this. For those who has the talent I suggest you pursue if you want. And artist are people who make arts, write arts and producing pieces that captivate the eyes. Even this is 60% talent.

Actually I did not talk about everything yet..but this is quite long. Basically you need to know what kind of human you are and what you want to become. Money comes from every line of work.
 ..And so I really hope this will help you choose.

being cool...

You must have seen people that you think are cool. Or are you the one who think you are excluded from the cool people and wish to be in them. Or are you one of those cool peoples.. Whichever you are, there must be a meaning of it. Right?

How to be a cool person or how to join the cool peoples group? The answer is simple- good looking. These people are perceive cool by others just because they look good, nice body perhaps, good at sports (the academic are always not) the handsomes only mingle with the beauties. Or rich people, because they have lot of money people just want to be friend with them and mostly because rich people can makeover themselves and look good...maybe it took rebonding, plastic surgery, botox, lasik surgery ... but they do know how to make them look nice. This faction may be rich or elegant but they may not be smart, or excel in exams which you may are.

but still...

Why are these people cool?? because of others, because of the dregs who keep on looking up to them, making them look cool. How to make people uncool? As I mentioned in my previous, everyone has their own role in life, people can choose what they want to become, how they dressed.. Its easy, find people with your kind of interest and form a gang of your own, as it grows large you can start to be the cool one and look down at the good looking arrogant groups. For the academical not so good looking people, don't even look at them-you know what i mean, have confidence in yourself and look down on them, they are not really cool if you think about it, mingle with you own friends...you are better than them. And if they notice no one is looking at them anymore, they will feel inferior and start finding others.

I salute hipsters so much, they know what they like, dressed like themselves though peculiar to public, they don't even care and they feel good about themselves- and you see now how huge hipsters has grown- suddenly they look cool. And so as goths actually.

Lesson from this, don't look at other people and down on yourself. Learn to look up on yourself and look down at others also. Don't try to fit it with people everytime but try find a party that fits you, you are what you are, have fun being yourself, there will always be people who are like you.

being mature

Mature is defined as when mental age over pathological age is more than 1, the higher it is the more mature a person is.
I have a small cousin, about 10years old but he thinks like a 17years.. not so playful, only talk about things that matters, having own opinion about schools and stuffs.. And I have a 15years old second cousin who is thinking like a 17years old, keep thinking and asking me about getting a scholarship, want to study abroad...

Some people are born mature, some can be a little creepy.. Others, they will reach a maturity at certain time like how they reach puberty. Some just choose not to be mature.People can start being one when they choose to. You can though, having interest in cartoon shows, robots, actions figure and all doesn't make you immature. That is just a person's passion. You will know if someone is matured or not by talking to him/her. One of my friend said 'Im matured because I'm smoking', everyone should know that's BS.

Though I'm not saying being matured is necessary at early age, but by being grown up make you think more, what you want to do in your life, how you want to do this and that, already have a plan ahead on your life and everything, improvising.. thus life wont be hectic

One more thing, this level of thinking connects people or repel them. Someone sophisticated, seating with people who thinks like kids, will getting a hard time to fit in and vice versa

So for those who still thinks like a child though you are old enough, its time for you to grow up and figure your life ahead. You cant play forever.

Learning oppurtunity

You ever been somewhere?.. travelling... going to places far from home.. or even studying somewhere else.
Learning is a process of life, its what makes you more mature and knowledgeable as your age keep going.
Have you notice that a place far from our home, they have different culture, different routines and skill sets perhaps.. different way of doing things.
As you wandering in your life, you will pass through so many doors, and its up to you to see it and open it. These doors are the learning opportunity. It is such a waste if you pass these doors not knowing they exist. Especially those who only lie in a particular time or place.
I'm giving example from my point of view, as I'm studying in India, there's so many thing I think I can learn here that I didn't get the chance in my country:

1. Playing cricket- it may sound silly but in Malaysia I rarely see anyone play cricket but in India cricket is everywhere, so while I'm here why don't I learn cricket.

2. Riding superbike- this sounds more silly but in Malaysia big bikes are expensive and not everyone can afford it at my age. Fortunately in India they are cheap even I can get one. I was scared at first as I never ride one before, but I thought hey if I don't learn now, I might not get the chance again.

3. Language, cultures, foods.. - these are all common sense if you live in a country but not learning them, then its the same as you just stay in your own place.

4. Making friends- even this is a process of learning, get to know other people. Then you will know generally how people and that place are.

actually theres so many more, but I'm not writing this to talk about myself, i just want to remind everyone that don't look at a door and pass it.. learn when you have the chance.

I'm saying this because, in my experience I saw many people that hem in theirselves in a group of their own people when they went other places. They don't talk to locals, didn't try to speak their languages, not interested in learning others culture or whatever that place give them. Hell if you are this kind of people you better just stay in your place and don't go anywhere. Experience is also learning, the more you do, the more things you try, the more points you will get, the higher your level (gamely speaking).

So if you get a chance to study abroad, or going somewhere far from holiday, take my advice- There a lot of things to uncover. Don't be too shy, have confidence in yourself, participate in lot of things, mix with the locals, don't forget to try.. open a door. Opportunity wont always come. Live your life to its fullest.

Study

I got asked about this a lot. I mean A LOT. Like how do you study... how can you study just a bit but manage to score exams... I never saw you study but you still pass exam... my brother asked, my friends, classmates...

1st to answer the question I did study. There's no way someone who never study can pass biology believe me. Maths, languages maybe can but not biology. This thing needs a lot of reading.

As to how.. As an anonymous saying goes "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail".
Good study is as much as good in planning it.

1. Plan your study
2. Know your limits
3. Determination
4. Consistent

1st, determination is what drives people study, why people study. Ask yourself, "should I study tonight?" "why do I have to excel my exams?" "Do I want to pass exams so badly?". Determination is the engine that start off the study machine inside you. How strong it is will make it how hard will your study. So first of all, set your mind why you need to study, some people because they want to make their parents proud, some guys just want to show off to girls, some just cant stand the competition, some aim to further study abroad or achieving their dreams. Whatever they are, if your determination is not strong enough then just forget your aims and dreams and start making plan B because you really doesn't care if you reach it or not. Or else you will be studying hard for it

2nd, know your limits. Our brains are no machine. They have capacity and limited supply of ATPs. If you study too much without rest eventually run out of energy and then whatever you try to put wont go in. Average people have a real focus of only 45 minutes. Some less and some more. After that your mind will no longer focus and you are just end up reading something you wont remember- to no avail. If I draw a graph to see the percentages a brain can absorb over time it will be sloping down. So, take it from me- study for a short time then take break, have enough rest and then continue again. Maybe like every study 40minutes take 10 and continue 40. It just an example anyway.

3rd, plan your study. Sub part- time and topics. Say you plan to study every night 9 to 11, you must heretofore know what you want to study. What topics I need to finish by today, or how many past year question sets I must done. It be better if you already plan ahead for weeks or months. Example by this week I must finish the entire chapter of photosynthesis.

4th, consistent. Its better to study one hour everyday than 12 hours per day but only 2weeks before exam. 1hour is not even a long time, everyone can do it.. again-determination. When studying all that matter is the output, even if it unsubstantial. In the end, it is what did you get today. As long as you being persistent, you will remember.When reading, there is difference of 1st reading, 2nd reading and the consecutive... to talk about that will be long. But I guess what everyone agree on is you remember more if you repeat reading same thing.

I don't need to talk about understanding what you read because.. obviously understanding something makes it easier than trying to memorise something you don't understand. Analogy- its easier to remember table of 5 (5,10,15,20,25,,,) because you can count it after 5x1 is 5x2 so on than to memorise random sets of numbers (79345198375).

Minor thing- environment. It is varies in people. Some may like to study in library some prefer alone in the room. Whatever your preferences you should know and stick by it. Don't go to library if it annoys you, you don't really need library to study if you have enough of your own books. Me? as weird as it may sound, I like to study in my room alone with loud musics. Musics help neutralise my boredom thus keep me going.

The details- when to make notes, sidebook notes, how to do exercises correctly, underlining key words, how is 1st read from textbook differ from 2nd read... I guess there is no need of me to tell that, if anybody wants me to they can ask but for now I guess its long enough..

I don't know how much this will help people who read it, any questions can ask me. Best of hope everyone study smart.

Where should I go from here?



I bet some of you often ask yourself this. Especially you people who ace every exam and can get in whatever you want. After high school..  or college... choosing a path to your career is like seeing a glance of your future through a window.

Now, choosing a career is probably one of the most important decision you have to make in your life because you going to live it, doing it, facing it til your old days. If you choose something that you dislike, you probably going to be torture for the rest of our life.

Factors to be consider: 1. Your strong and weaknesses. Like I said previously you have to know what you're good at and what you're not cause it be easier doing something you good at obviously. And sequence to that is how hard are you willing to study, if you are kind of people who are chilling and will not study hard, you are more to brainstorming and thinking then a career of biology doesn't suit you, you are more to physics engineering and stuffs, or if you are maths person you cant really do sciences, or if you are just so linguistics that you can get other languages quick. Understand right? 2nd, your interest. For those who don't know what should i do with my life, think of your interest, what you like to do, what will you enjoy doing.

3rd, opportunity and competitions. These two are something that will contradict your interest and talent when choosing. You see parents will ask their children to be a doctor because doctor is always needed, population grow every time so has to be doctors. And businessman economics individuals are getting too much that you the competition is big. And musicians, there are just so much talented people nowadays..bla bla bla and so are many others... when thinking of these factors, you should not think of taking easy road. Seriously. Because you can end up doing something you don't like and regret it for the rest of your life. Think deep.

4th and the most important thing is, most high school graduates wont even understand most of the careers like what is a pharmacist real job or what a dentist can specialised in. They only think they know from what they see and assume. There are people who thinks accountants are running businesses. So, huge advice, look up, study, and do some research about all the careers that you are interested in and if you got time things that you don't like also. This is vital as you might find what you want to be is not ideal anymore and some things might interest you more. Go to career course of something a while.

So that's that, I hope its enough. Think thoroughly when making a decision because you wont get younger any day. Balance all the factors... open your eyes... and choose wisely.

Am I stupid?

The fact is I find out some that lot of people telling themselves I am stupid, you are clever, you're a genius and all sorts of things like that.

Well, is that really the case? then define stupid. Is it when we study so much but we still can't score exam. Or we can't get a grasp of what we are learning after we spend hours of reading.

There is no such thing as to define stupid of a person. My personal opinion- genetics, environment, or brain growth from childhood are all factors to maintain a balanced world. Some people are just born with their brain not as good in study as others. Meaning everyone has their own role. There can't be a world where everyone scores straight A's in exams, or everyone got 100% marks in a paper, or everyone can learn how to learn other language easily. When you think some people are very clever that they read for a bit and it stuck to their brain, the are not clever, they are just have a better study brain. Anyway, most of these people will become doctors or scientist or something academical.

True story-there was this one guy in my class in high school who was really bad at studying, he always get bottom number and no A. But he never was a lazy guy, he never give up, he studied and tried hard every time although he keeps on falling. All his hard works paid off when he found his interest and what he is good at. Thus now, he is a ship engineer and currently working in Brazil. I am proud of him. It just shows that exams, papers, marks and all of that are not the most important thing to be consider in life. There are other things that can define your success.

Everyone has their own role to play in the world. Either they are teachers, doctors, mechanics, cashiers, managers, athletes and so many more. First you need to know that as genes circulate throughout the world, everyone has their own different talents, things that they are good at. Some people are good at studying but not social skills or any practical works, some are very good at doing things but not writing about it. Thus, know your talent. How?

Evaluate yourself time after time, examples- in studies, which subjects are you good at and which you are not. Second, try do lot of things, sports, arts, musics, acting, dance, gaming and all. Once you are doing something you will know if you stopped halfway, then it's not in your interest. If you are devoted to it then you will be keep doing it. It is one thing to find out your interest and one thing to know about your talent cause it might differ. Examples- in school I like physics but for some reason I cant really scores my physics paper.. To know what you're good at is to know your role in the world. If you are very good at arts, then try and produce a lot of it and start planning on opening your own art gallery, if you are that good at maths you can be a actuaries or applied mathematicians. If you are good at musics try write a song and sell it, or form your own band and perform. You don't really have to keep your interests or what you are good at to yourself and make it a hobby, always give your best when doing something and try to aim high. Like making a career of your hobby (don't you think it will be nice making money from doing the things that you love). You won't know that actually it will be a good career for you, unless you try it. I see so many people waste their talent, not doing anything about it. Try. Try hard. Not trying is always worse than failing.

Don't really think about money, competitions and all stuffs that causing you to stop from going with something, cause every thing that you do in this world, it can open up an opportunity for a greater one and gives big pay. As long as you do it properly. Really. A successful chef can be paid a fortune to cook just as a driver is paid millions to race.

Lesson to people who think they are stupid and other people are bright, start knowing what is your strong point and try go for it in your life. You might become more successful than the people you think is smart.

intro

whats up everyone.. my name is mahmud and im currently in final year BDS (bachelor of Dental Surgeon) at KLE Unversity, Belgaum, Karnataka India...

1st of all ive made a blog long time back but i lost intereest and end up deleting it. Heh. Now im just writing to express my thoughts and what i want to say to no one. Sometimes we just have lot of things going on in our head that we want to let go. Right? This is the perfect medium. I dont really care if no one is reading. Who wants to read then read if you dont want then close this tab.

Becoming a dentist is not really my 1st choice or my dream when i was a kid. As my mummy will say "theres always oppurtunity agains dream". You got an offer of something but its not really what you want but it pays a lot. When this thing come, you need to think whats best, its easy to say just push the offer and live your dream but actually its not..
Everyone has different opinion of what they want in their life. Some people think of money, want to live rich and easy, some think of living free and make every moment a happy time. And there is some people who wants to live their life helping people. Me? i just want my life to mean something, have my name remembered when im gone. Its going to be a hell of a life ride which ill continue talking on. For now, thats all. Happy eid mubarak to all muslims in the world!!
