- If we choose the work of our liking we do it with perfection and get encouragement and rewards which boost our self-esteem.
“LET’S LOOK AT THE OTHER SIDE OF CHOOSING A CAREER”
If we select a career which we do not enjoy then sooner or later it will develop:-
- Boredom with the work routine.
- Boredom with fellow colleagues.
- Boredom with life.
- Boredom generates frustration.
- Frustration generates dissatisfaction with work and life.
- It leads to anger and depression.
- It leads to various physical and mental problems like headache, stomach ache,acidity, ulcers, hypertension, nervousness, and lethargy.
“LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST”
