Our Choice - Our Destiny : Which one of these is more important in our lives ?

Sorry I was preoccupied with something else and got so busy that I couldn't devote time for blogging.

Now to be frank with you ppl I have something in my mind for sometime ( not very long ) which I would like to share with you.

Well to begin with let me tell you a little about myself ,I opted for PCMB ( Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology ) in my pre-university course (PUC), I then decided to leave bio field and join Engineering and opted for Computer Science branch in University ( Engineering ).At this time when I am writing this I am studying 4th sem ( out of the 8 semesters ).

The questions which are bothering me the most are

  • Why did I opt for PCMB in PUC in the first place when I had the choice between PCMC ( C - Computer Science )
    and PCMB ?
  • Why did I opt for Engineering ?
  • Why did I opt for CS in Engineering ?

When I try to find the answers to these questions the answers themselves pose to me as a riddle which keeps on getting more and more complex the more i think of them.

I really don't know why i chose this path ,maybe it is becoz of the influence of the ppl around me which made all the difference in my life.Well everyone in my school opted for PCMB and especially my brother influenced me the most to take up Bio.

It was my family which made me take up CS in Engg.I hadn't even decided what to do with my life then.I now feel that I should have taken up law or I should take up teaching profession.

I hadn't decided then so i couldn't take up law and it is too late now. But i still have a chance to become a teacher but my mom/family members think that you can't lead a *happy* life being a teacher since the PAY is less.

I ask myself what has happiness got to do with PAY - it is contendedness which pays you off finally.

You know i used to read of stories where in the heroes would go in search of their fortune / destiny / luck .I want to do that now , I want to go in search of my fortune / my future.

So I think it is my determination along with my choices which will help me in fighting against the destiny that is being kept in store for me.

So now I feel that,our choices are more important than our destiny to make any difference in our life.
