Did you ever wonder when is the right time to decide what one wants to do in his life, Baz Luhrmann says “Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.” Even though my heart says to subscribe what Luhrmann says but it really doesn’t make any sense. Because the most successful persons I know always knew what they wanted to do with their lives be it Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Sachin Tendulkar or for that matter Howard Roark all of them knew from their childhood what they would do with their lives. When it comes to me I find myself still puzzled what exactly I want with my life or maybe what life wants from me ? And while brainstorming over this issue I find that expectations are the real roots to this dilemma. Expectations of parents, friends and society make me handicap when it comes to pursuing my dreams. I belive “expectations lead to disappointment”, disappointment to both the parties involved and probably expectation is the real reason for people in our country chasing someone else’s dreams rather than his own. Maybe a day will come when people will stop expecting things from others and then probably everyone will be a Warren Buffett.
