All planned ... yet unpredictable!

Today was my second day of 5th semester and I was attending my lecture on social and legal issues. Our teacher explained why we students pursuing a course in Computer science engineering were made to study a course like this. She said the course would help us widen our horizon on corporate laws and was helpful for those who wanted to go in for entrepreneurship in future. Immediately my dad and his business struck my mind. His business is going well and I hope it continues to do so. Thousands of thoughts started running in my mind and I began planning my future in father’s business after my graduation and perhaps an MBA degree. I cursed my decision for not opting mechanical engineering which would have helped me join him in his business later on.
These summer vacations I have seen my dad working extremely hard which made me think of how things will be “super cool” if I join his business instead of wasting my energy in some other company. Today hearing the word “entrepreneurship” my nervous system got excited and my heart signed a deal with my brain to finally follow what my random thoughts were trying to communicate.

I think that everything is planned up above by the superpowers. Our life is a jigsaw puzzle which we have to solve and once all pieces are arranged in their correct order the game ends. Not many people believe in stars influencing a person’s future but I do and hence would like to mention some facts someone told me once when I was in my 11th standard. He said that my career will be something related to iron. Those were the days when I used to dream about a career in photojournalism and hence immediately related iron with the tripod stand used to arrange a camera. But my life had to arrange itself according to the puzzle picture designed by Him and therefore got into a university which helped me decide to join my father’s business which revolves all around iron!

I have seen a lot of struggle in this business, limited profit and such facts make my brain to think over and over about this new thought, for this looks like a stupid dream to me right now. Again I would say this word “entrepreneurship” is like a new toy for a small kid. This word will make me explore it more in my life, till then I will wait, to check, if it fits well in the picture!
