I am a right brained person, according to the test I took.
It was a pretty useless test, if you ask me, because the test
only checked what I liked to do, and not what I am good at. Those two are
entirely different things although people often confuse them as similar. I like
doing the right brained stuff but I am good at the left brained stuff. So what
am I?
I owe a lot to the left part of my brain, and that is what actually made me graduate. And everything I am today - which is not much, I have to admit - is because of the left part of my brain.
In fact, the right part of my brain has always been responsible
for my poor show everywhere. I could have probably done better of me if I
really wanted to and allowed my left part of the brain to take over. But then
again, it is the right part of the brain which really makes me happy- and there
is nothing I can do about it.
So while I do have the potential to be a Rancho or a Chatur, my
right brain and my quest for following my dreams has made me a Farhan - or a
Hari - or whatever the name of those two losers in 3 Idiots was. But it has
also made me happy, happy than I ever could be by being a topper or anything.
a) My current job was probably outside the Venn diagram. I am not very good at it, I definitely don't like it much and it does not pay good money. Well, okay, okay, it pays but not good money.
b) The work I was good at was mostly left brained things like number crunching, quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis etc. While the things I liked doing were creative writing, chattering aimlessly, playing sports and the likes. Almost a certain mismatch between the two except probably for solving few analytical puzzles. Thinking of best about my jobs is that it pays. So my Venn diagram became the following.
And now I am totally confused. My left brained skills and my
right brained passions have left me little choice, about what to do. The Venn
diagram leaves me with only the following options then:
a) Open a Sports Analytics Company
b) Go around Philosophizing
c) Become a Creative Writer
a) Open a Sports Analytics Company
b) Go around Philosophizing
c) Become a Creative Writer
However, being a left brained person, I
also try being practical. And that practical aspect of me is afraid to take the
next big step. A step towards being happier.
-Back to work.
