“Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now”
A Group of formers in my village work hard and dream high, but never meet ends. The reason is simple, if A is growing Banana and Making little money, B, C, D and E wants to grow the Same .The result is surplus production and low rates.I quoted this to say that, If your friend has opted certain course does not mean that you have to choose the same. That is why I always tell students to dream high and prepare from the beginning. Everything is possible. Many a time’s students become the victims of Mass hysteria. For instance When the IT industry was hit hard, everybody joined Mechanical Engineering as if they will graduate within 30 days and start earning.
I repeat that one should dream high and prepare from the beginning.
