What industry or skill should I learn now that will be more valuable in 10 years than it is today?

Nothing.

The way world is moving at a pace and in a way, that you cannot predict what will be trending in next decade.

What i mean is the pace at which things are moving be it technology, economy, or trends? Earlier if something came it would stay for sometime and fade out slowly but after 10 years it will be erratic.

It might change in a few weeks as well. Then what you will do.

So i suggest, you be in such a zone that no matter what happens, whatever comes you are in a position to work with it.

Lift youself so much, that outside things do not matter.

For eg: Tell me is there anything more sophisticated than your body, mind.

So ensure your mind and body is at peak even for next 10 years.

Peak meaning not full of muscles & knowledge.

I mean a lively physical body and a happy mind.

Keep it simple coz the more things you get into things, its a trap you can't come out if it.

I mean okay lets say future trends are Nanotechnology, Blockchain, Open Source, Cloud, AI, Robotics, Virtual Reality etc.

Say you prepared from today and after 10 years became expert at something futuristic. But if you are physically ill or not happy at mind. Yes, what then? Yes, imagine suddenly something unexpected happened and just before you start to reap rewards of your effort. You die then what?

Have ambitions but do not forget to be healthy and happy daily.

This means even if life doesn't go as planned you must be healthy and happy.

Is this what we want when we achieve success as well right.

I say be it failure also no problems. Yes, its a fact not everyone can become successful right.

So what if you are one of the failures.

Get the point. One could die, life can trurn against you.

But nothing can take away your reaction to life. So be happy and healthy.

As i said there will never be anything more Sophisticated and Latest than your body and mind. Keep them in top form. No comprises.

And anyway what is the point if you already know what you will be doing in 10 years.

I mean tell me which is a better way. I say plan, but something that you will make you free from shackles of success.

Yes, what is point if your rich, success but can't drop anything and have to run from pillar to post.

I know some people say i like it.

I do it for my life, country, people, my satisfaction.

See everything you say can be taken from you.

Your life - you gota accident, fell terminally ill, gone. Yes, some people will stil fight odds but most are gone.

Country, Parents, Family - no guarantee. Can we always be 24/7 behind them. Right now you are here, but entire something happens to the outside.

So you aim should simple be your aim & not entangle you.

Yes, even your aim/reputation should not become a baggage for you that when you want move again it doesn't

How can I get a good job, good income, and good career at age 23? What should my goals be? What do I need to hit the upmost top end of the success stratosphere?

See first thing is success is a mindset.

It is not a goal we reach and we become happy.

Till date we have had so many successful people on this earth since time immemorial but then most of human species are still struggling to be happy. Right.

I mean imagine you become successful but you don't have one single person standing with you.

Imagine you are successful but the entire surrounding you stay are full of people who are just rag pickers.

You get the picture what i am trying to say. Don't get carried by the word success.

It’s like this. Say you achieved everything after years of hardwork.

But just when you start enjoying the fruits of your achievements, the very next day, we die. So you see success is not the ALL.

Yes, the point you are asking is not wrong, it is in fact in every human to be happy and it is this seeking that we are trying to quench.

Some call it success, some get it in addictions, some get it in money, some get in doing everything for their loved ones, some get it in just being themselves.

So your intentions are perfect for a young person. You are not interested in just being, born, earn and dying.

But all i am saying is success is not the way to go.
In the process if you get successful well and good, but remember being successful has its limitations as well.

Start seeking a mindset/path/whatever method where you feel successful irrespective of what the circumstances are.

See it’s like this. Even if humans don’t do anything, there is everything in nature available for us. Right. Then what is the point of being successful, the success what we want to do is useless.

Yes, everything is there is nature. Just think about it. Not a single thing is required. Not even internet or telephone. Human mind is not even being used at 7 percent and hope you know about telepathy, you don’t need a phone to speak to someone.
Isn’t it strange, not a single creature on this earth requires anything which is not available in nature. They will do just fine and they are doing fine. Right.

I mean did you know that if honeybees pollinate over 90 percent of the plant species on the earth. So if all the honey bees got extinct we will have nothing to eat in next 3 years. Yes, not a single plant will grow.

No birds, butterflies or other creatures can do this.

So you see, i am not saying don’t achieve or go behind things. But know the reality and limitations of what you are doing.

If there is a situation where you have to overcome the odds, defeat someone bad, please go ahead but don’t lose your peace of mind over it. Don’t think you failed, as i said there is not single use of humans on this earth.

Even if we go extinct right now, nothing changes on the earth. Think about it.

Success is a mindset. Be successful irrespective of what the circumstances are. If there are some benefits take it in your stride and share some if possible.

An ant is successful in its own way. Yes, if all the ants were even the size of cockroaches, they would ruling this planet right now.

Cockroaches were there with the dinosaurs, they will be here even after all humans have died and ozone layer has been punctured.

So now tell me who is successful.

Lion is the king of jungle but Elephants can anyday become king of jungle right. Think about it.

So, don't think successful is only about being king of jungle.

What is the purpose of life? How to get a perfect life?

Let me cut the long story short.
Out of the 100 crop species that provide us with 90% of our food, 70% are pollinated by bees. It's that simple.
Bees are the primary initiators of reproduction among plants, as they transfer pollen from the male stamens to the female pistils.

While bees are not the only pollinators we have (bats, birds, butterflies, and some flies can do this work, too), they're by far the best creatures for the job. In part, this is because they need pollen to feed their larvae, so they're biologically driven to gather the stuff. Other pollinators visit flowers only to suck nectar, and any pollen that sticks to them in the process is a happy accident.

"Additionally, most [bee] species are fuzzy, and those hairs attract pollen grains, making the bees even more likely to pollinate,"

Within just three months of our last bee dying off, producers would be facing record low harvest yields. In cities, grocers would be scrambling to explain to consumers why almond butter costs had tripled. Within six months, many farmers—especially small-scale operations—would likely face tough choices about converting their fields to wheat. By the end of the first year, "we'd have a very bland and boring diet.

Most importantly, a chain of reaction would have been set up which is irreversible. Not to forget we are already living in a world so soiled and toxic that we'd have much bigger problems.

Now coming to your point, even if the entire humans species is extinct right now, the earth will still go on minus all the pollution etc.
In fact the planet will become better right in a larger context.

So hope you got your answer.
The question is not about having purpose.
Why do we humans thing we are above the system, we are also part of a huge system, there is no special purpose.

We can't run faster than dog, fly like a crow, fight like a lion, strong as an ant.
Yes, we do have some benefits but compared to these creatures there are lot of drawbacks we have right. So why do you want purpose in the first place, when we are not even the best species.

We are just better than some species.

In fact, after the world goes extinct, cockroaches will still roam the earth and they have been here since the dinosaurs.

It’s just that we have complicated, we have to earn money to eat food.
No other creature on the planet does this. Get it.
Yes, civilization has a come far way and things can’t be reversed. You have to go with flow.

But to answer your question, there is no specific purpose for humans.
You are free to do whatever you want.
Thing is whatever we do, we don’t realize that we are part of the system and we need keep this in mind before doing anything.

That’s why there is always seeking in almost every human being. What is my purpose? Because we are doing the wrong things.
We are not realizing that we are a cog in the wheel, we are not the wheel. Yes, to an extent we can understand the big picture but that is just part of the complete picture.

It’s like no matter how much you learn about life, earth, galaxy, spirituality, etc, it will still be drop in the ocean, like that.
As far as perfect life is concerned, again there is no such thing.

Just a example: Imagine you did all the things and became successful but just when you are about to enjoy the rewards of your success, you die. Not being negative.

All i am telling there is no purpose of life. You are free to what you want. But keep in mind the big picture that you are part of a bigger system. So do i need to say what not to do…now..if we use your common sense, we will know what to do?

Now coming to perfect life, as i said you have every right to get a perfect life but there is no guarantee you will enjoy it. So again, perfect life is a mindset.
There are people with all troubles and still happy and there are people who have everything and very miserable. Perfect life is a mindset. Dot.

What can entrepreneurs learn from professional sports persons?

Take the example of a cricket match or a badminton match or any sports for that matter. I am sure most of us who follow the sport have the ability to predict the game 7 out of 10 times correctly. However, when the same comes to our business or real life, most of the times, we somehow are dumbstruck, think a lot more, not sure etc.

So the next time you are in a business situation or for that matter any situation, see it as a cricket match or a badminton match and think what you would do to win that game. I am sure you would win 7 out of 10 situations. Dont worry about losing that one game a.k.a situation.

How is the career as an insurance agent in India?

I see why you are asking this question. There is a career for everything, we just need to choose the right career. Anways, coming to your question of scope as insurance agent, yes times are good and bad as well.

Good

1. Indians are increasingly becoming financially sound and realize the importance of insurance. Google for insurance coverage of Indians and you will find that not even 30 percent of Indians are having insurance.


2. The current Indian population has an average age of 25 which means most of them need to secure their future post marriage, aging parents, future commitments, kids education etc. So there is huge scope.

Bad

1. Lot of policies to choose from.


2. Agents are irritating, nothing against them but this is the general perception right.


3. No money right now to buy policy. Indians still most of us don’t plan financially, like how we plan for a trip. Got the big picture. One unexpected untoward event and entire life is upside is down. I am not saying financially planned people are safe but they are better prepared. See its like most of us have vehicle insurance but life insurance, trust me…Majority of the people who own vehicle in India will have motor insurance but ask them about life insurance..etc…you will know..what i mean. And insurance is just one part of financial planning what about savings, retirement, medical insurance, emergency funds and finally investments to realize our financial goals..etc..forgot kids education. and list just goes on….but at least some of the basics we have to cover it…


4. Renewal problem, customers ignore to renew the policy next year.


5. Tough to get a customer India, it is built in most of us. Atleast that is what i noticed. In our country, we have this insecure feeling why should i buy from this agent, i will buy later or elsewhere. The biggest problem is selling the policy.I know this is not the answer you were expecting and the answer looks very generic. With all respect to your question, as i said it is not about insurance agent career is good or bad. I am saying there is scope for insurance in the first point itself. Matter close. So now you see what you can do. I just put some negatives as well, which most of us are aware for a balance.
   
    
   
   For this you have to find a solution…So you see, there is demand for insurance right, but then what is the problem in selling. Now its up to you whether you can find a solution to sell the policies as agent. Because even if say the solution, like say you joined a insurance company they will say sell, train you but end of the day you are the one who has to go on the field and sell..So now that you know what to do..it is upto you to HOW YOU DO…IT

Can I do journalism after HSEE?

Yes, you can.

You can do journalism degree. This degree will be in addition your qualification post HSEE.

You can do post graduation.

You can do a PG diploma full time or partime.

Or join a evening college.

Or join a media house and enrol for their certification or course. This is easiest, fastest, safest way. Plus you get paid as you do the course. Eg: Times of India has their own media course. Academically it mite not be equal to a degree. See both pros n cons n then choose.

Or directly start free lance, if media likes your stuff, your on. Nothing else required. Later a degree for name sake will do.

Or u can enrol any online journalism course as well.Or try a foreign university. Explore…

Or look for correspondence courses etc.

Options are plenty.

Heres a small suggestion - Gaining knowledge is important and do you really want to be journalist is more important.

Degree you can get somehow, dont worry. But decide what you want learn. Today you have option to be a journalist or even join a creative ad agency, join films, radio, website.

So think on this, what qualification you want, you will be more expert than me in finding on Google.

Most journalists or media people, actors, RJ, technicians, cameraman, editors, ..most people are not qualified media people. They are from other fields. You got what i am saying…degree u can get…dnt worry…if ur learning a lot with degree..nothing lyk it..but main aim are you learning…at least getting to know about the field you are going to spend the rest of ur life

Today I lost my self-control for the second time in my two years of college. It scared the hell out of me this time and I don't want to see myself like that ever again. What are the ways to keep it in check?

Example:

See, it’s like, let it be however a big problem, if you know that if you press this button, it will solve the problem, what will you do?

In some cases you don’t know which button to press.
So you press the buttons for what you can?

Another Example: Say a person is addicted to drugs. Ask any drug addict, if i give a pill that will make him forget the addiction going forward, will he take it or NO.

TRUST ME, invariably sooner or later every drug addict will want that pill.
In this case, you just don’t know what to do.
But if you really dead sure like you can handle, solve or know what to do, then you would have done.

So do what you can with FULL CONVICTION and the whatever is the best you feel. Yes, whatever, you do must be option the best option.

Don’t worry if it turns out to be wrong or din’t come out as you expected.
That is not in your hand.

If your still not sure, consult a counsellor near your place. Then take a call on what needs to be done- best.

Or consult someone whom you will place a bet on your life, a well wisher, who is good at advice and will stand by you if you ask for help.

Self Control is not a stage we reach & stop.

It is evolution, you keep improving.

Say you had self control on anger for 10 issues, tomorrow you should have self control for 100 issues.

I feel sleepy all the time, I don't feel the enthusiasm to do anything, I feel like I have given up on life, am I depressed?

First thing is take a aptitude and personality test online.
There are lot of free websites.

There is no right and wrong answer in the aptitude (skill test) and personality test.

It is just to find about your self. What comes naturally easy to you.
Some people get maths easily, some get language easily.
So don't worry about giving right answer, just be like you are talking to your buddy.

Without any pressure to give right answer, just enjoy the test.
If in doubt take these tests few times.

You will find a pattern and you will know what you enjoy.
Some people will be good at everything.
Don't worry.

That's where the personality tests come.
Take the personality tests. This test will tell what kind of person you are.
What kind of environment you enjoy and what kind of people you like to hang out with.

Over a period of time your personality and skills might change but these tests help to start with clarity.
They give a clear idea in case your confused.
Now you will make proper choices about your studies and career and everything your life.

Atleast you will know how to approach going forward.
With time, sooner or later you will see that you will get to know what you are good at..
Very soon you will immerse your life in that.
Hardly takes 20 mins. Have Fun. Have a Good lyf.

With this kind of thoughts and actions, you will beyond happiness and sorrow in life.
In fact nothing will bother you. Neither Happiness or Tragedy, you will automatically what needs to be done.
Think about it.

I mean now you might a solve a problem, what about tomorrow.
There are things always waiting to happen in life.
It is part and parcel of life.

So be beyond problems and solutions.
Example:
See, it’s like, let it be however a big problem, if you know that if you press this button, it will solve the problem, what will you do?
In some cases you don’t which button to press.

So you press the buttons, what you can?
Don’t bother about the others. Sooner or later you will get better.
It’s like say I am addicted to drugs. Ask any drug addict, if i give a pill that will make him forget the addiction going forward, will he take it or NO.

TRUST ME, invariably sooner or later every drug addict will want that pill.
So, this is life, it is will be harsh and get worse as well, but you can be beyond all of them.

Consult a counselor near your place. Then take a call on what needs to be done- best.

Or consult someone whom you trust with your life, a well wisher, Grandpa, Elders etc. who is good at advice and will stand by you with their life you ask for help.

Remember both are important, the person whom you trust should be ready to stand by with life for you.

And you too should trust that person so much that you are willing to place a bet on your life trusting that person.

How can I cover up my study gap and ensure a bright future?

This is the problem we identify with the situation instead of knowing the source of problem.

Alibaba founder Jack Ma is one of the richest people in the world, with a net worth of over $36 billion according to Forbes. But there was a time when he couldn't even get a job at Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Here's the full article

The early rejection taught him an important business lesson: "You have to get used to failure," he says, speaking at the University of Nairobi.

After college, Ma applied for 30 jobs in his home city of Hangzhou, China. He was rejected from every one.

At KFC, 24 people applied for the job, says Ma, and while 23 were hired — he wasn't one of them.

The same thing happened when he tried to be a cop. This time four of five applicants were hired, all except Ma.

Another time Ma lost out on a job to his own blood.

"My cousin and I waited for two hours [in a] long queue to be the waiter for the four star hotel in my city, on a very hot day," he says. "My cousin's score was much lower than mine, [but] he was accepted and I was rejected!"

A post shared by University of Nairobi (@universityofnairobi) on Jul 21, 2017,

Ma was even turned down by Harvard 10 times, he tells Charlie Rose in 2015.

"I told myself someday I should go teach there maybe," he laughs.

Although he can joke about it now, Ma says the continued rejection was painful. But it prepared him for his entrepreneurial future.

"If you can not get used to failure — just like a boxer — if you can't get used to [being] hit, how can you win?" he says to the audience in Nairobi.

The fortitude came in handy when he founded Chinese e-commerce site Alibaba in 1999. In the beginning, Ma heard "no" a lot.

"I remember year 2001, we went to raise some $5 million from venture capitalists in the USA and got rejected," Ma tells Rose. Despite the setback, he didn't stop. "I said we [will] come back raising a little bit more."

Perhaps those VCs regret their decisions. Today, the company has a market cap of about $400 billion. When it went public 2014, it was the largest initial public offering ever.

Ma says he now passes around case studies about failure to colleagues at Alibaba, instead of reinforcing success.

"When you read too many successful stories, people go crazy," he says during his talk in Nairobi. "They think 'I can be successful.'"
But the truth is, says Ma, "When you share a lot of failure stories, you learn."
So till the age of 30 he was nothing but a failure.
So, at the age of 31, Ma started his first internet company called “China Yellow Pages.” The company made around $800,000 in the three years it was in business.

And now the rest is history.
So the problem is not about the success or failure or filling the gap.
If you worry about gap, what will you do if there an other gap.

It is about the journey.
See say for example, you want to be a body builder, what gives you more happiness. Off course, the day you won.
But what about everyday when you wake up to prepare, excercise, eat and work out.

See this is what we are supposed to be in. In the journey, the zone where we are always looking out for something.
Then you will not have time to feel sorrow.
See for example, suddenly imagine you and your best buddies plan to go for 1 month trip. Got that feel.

I know life will be normal after the trip.
But what about the time during the trip.
So coming to your question, you are not enjoying your current journey, so choose a journey what you want.

It's hard to believe because its simple.
But yes, in case you need to make a drastic changem, then do it.
don't worry about failure or consequences.

If it was not Jack Ma, someone else would have been there, done that.
So if its not you, someone else would be there and take that.
So only thing what you can do give your self maximum chances to be there done that.

FAILURE is not a big deal. I mean you are saying like this. what if suddenly after you read this answer, the entire world is nuked. Got it.
Don’t think about the gap. Not being negative but just saying the big picture. Get it.

If you are in this kind of a journey then you will know when to take a gap and gap will not dictate your life. In fact, nothing will bother, neither failure nor success.

You will beyond success & failure.

Can a UPSC aspirant achieve his dream in future after settling himself and his family according to family situation while working in other jobs?

See first you have to understand the motivation to be a UPSC aspirant.

If your reason is right, you will achieve it.

Even if you dont achieve something, if you put your effort, trust me you will not feel you lost.

You will find a way.

Hope you understand what i meant.

See its like this, you want to be a IAS officer to change the society. Trust me its not easy in India.

You know the type of people who become ministers and order IAS officers. Exceptions are there but most ministers, i have my doubts.

Its like your better off becoming a entrepreneur and become rich, become popular and you never know, win elections and become a minister who will order IAS officers.

Being a entrepreneur is far easier, all you need is a good friend or you yourself is enough.

In fact, even if you fail UPSC, the knowledge you would have gained is enough to teach and create 100 IAS officers.

If you do do become IAS officer but if you are not allowed to perform, what can you do?

So its about clarity, reason should be not red lights, social status or just your own ego massage. Even desire to be a UPSC is wrong.

Yes, its good to be a IAS but trust me its nothing if you have clarity.

Ask people who have quit IAS, i mean there are people for whom being IAS is the ultimate. But then every year people quit civil service.

Also truth is, there is atleast one IAS officer killed every year in India.

Do you know about IAS officer Ravi.

They say he committed suicide but the entire district of kolar in Karnataka went on strike alleging he was killed.

He was found hanging in his apartment, with his shirt tucked, hanging knot on right side, driver missing on his day of death.
Officer Manjunath was killed because he exposed petroleum-oil mafia who used to adulterate fuel.

Others include DM Mukesh Pandey, Satyendra Dubey, Narendra Kumar etc.

Occupational hazard is one thing but tell how many CEOs are allegedly dead under mysterious circumstances ever year.

While most IAS officers are transferred regularly.

I have seen them run from pillar to post for their salaries to get credited during transfer.

But then i have also seen IAS officers least bothered about these problems, they are somehow contributing to society by the power they have or by their own efforts, because their motivation to become IAS is beyond everything an IAS tag can offer them.

They contribute to IAS, they do not need IAS designation or power. They would have still done what they wanted.

In fact being entrepreneur or minister or local MLA is easy. Yoy just need to be excellant or at least an interesting orator who can people interested for at least 10 min.

Trust me practice public speaking, for few months or few years.

Imagine if you are able to speak in front of people without any fear and sway them your way.

I mean i feel becoming a public speaker is far easy or requires less effort and luck compared to preparation, luck and sheer hardwork to become a IAS.

So, like this have immense clarity.

As APJ Abdul Kalam, goal should not scare it should wake you up raring to go every morning. Simple as that.

Automatically you will manage everything. You will always have time for things you love.

No one in the world is so busy that they cant manage things. Its always about priorities.

What are some tips to help me decide my career?

Hope this helps.

Career is just part of life. So first know what you really want in life like money, fame, stability or do social service. So first decide your life goal.

Read below and do the exercise given in the question for 90 days or till you get sure about your choice of career or aim etc.

What should I do with my life when I can’t see a clear goal?

FIRST FIND YOUR LIFE GOAL.

Since you have asked the question, i hope you will listen to the answer and not think this is the answer you were not expecting.

Hope you have time, i would say choose your time. But in case you want time, choose around 90 days.

Go to a career counsellor at his college or even to an outside career counselling centers which are in plenty nowadays.

How to choose your career?

Take an aptitude test, known your strengths and weakness.

Now do the planning:

Why is career planning important?

And most importantly find what your INTEREST lies in.

Also remember every person will have to two-three interests. So always develop two three skills. Even if takes 10 years be on it.

Sooner or later your time will come.

it’s okay if you want to be a sports person but that is no excuse for you to develop a skill in say computers.

Which is more important, love or career? What should I do?

Got your point. In fact, you yourself know which is right.

Anyway let me make it simple for you.

What do you want?
Fail in life and have a good career and well settled with everything at your feet.

Or life of problems but you have a person who still loves you, even if you are begging on the streets.

Love will not change, no matter what happens. Otherwise its not love. Neither you love or nor that person loves you.

Career can give you everything but not love. Imagine, you have everything but not a single person, neither mom, dad, girlfriend, friends, people around you, not a single person whom you can just call up any moment and talk without reason.

Hope you know there are families, who have everything but still father doesn't like mother, brother hates sisters, relatives hate each other. But they don't have any problems like money, comfort, luxury.

Then there are families who are road, but still they have something to look forward to everyday in life. They are ready to do anything for their loved ones.

It's like there is a certain amount of happiness in being sober as well. Like some people don't want to come out of love failure. Like that.

Then there are people who don't care what about others. They will do anything to be happy and even others should feel happy with them. And they it is false but they still feel happy. Usually big bosses, they have achieved so much and feel so happy with their status, that they just impose it on their drivers, kids, social circle.

Honeslty, even they know its false, but they are happy.

So what do you want to lose or what kind of happiness you want?
There is pain and gain in both. Choice is yours.

If you have both, it’s good. Wishing you both.

I know times have changed but remember humans still are made of the same skin, flesh and blood and have the same emotions.
Choose wisely.

Which is the cheapest, fastest and easiest way to shift in Canada from India?

Firstly, it’s not about Canada.

Software engineer or any other field in India is also doing well.

So if you can develop your skills, you can survive and thrive in India only.

In fact, the failures or experience you have in India is a good learning experience.

Canada altogether is a new environment and it has its plus but it will have its own challenges as well.

Anyway, Ideally who should be going to Canada is some one who wants money in the short term.

Whom it will suit is someone who feels he can survive in a foreign environment or feels ya i am okay to go for it. Then someone who understands what he is getting into. It’s not just about Job, going to a foreign country will change a lot of plans.

Like marriage plan, taking care of parents, etc.

So good thing is Canada is not tough to go. Hope the Canadian embassy is not reading this, else they will make the rules tough. Just kidding.

Anyways, you will still be hired to Canada only if you offer some value plus you will also stay only if you can stay as well. Right. I mean India, you have no other option but i don’t think in Canada it will be possible to stay without a reason.

At least job security is a must.

All the links i am sharing are from official immigration website government of Canada

First you have to know whether you are eligible or what are the things you need to go to Canada. So click on the below link:

You have to check if you are eligible.

Do you want to come to Canada as a skilled immigrant?

It’s a very general profile filling like your job, age, experience, IELTS score etc.
Hardly takes 20 minutes.

It’s free. Consultancies charge 1000 plus rupees for this stupid thing.

Meanwhile, you have to prepare and pass IELTS exam and fill that score as well. For now you can paste a IELTS ranging upto 10. Try filling 8 and above. Just for checking your eligibility.

Adding spouse IELTS score also helps.

[caption id="attachment_746" align="alignnone" width="1109"] Do you want to come to Canada as a skilled immigrant?[/caption]

Again this is just the reference, you are not yet registered to start the process. This is just to check. So don’t worry, fill the details. It will not be saved anywhere. In fact you don't even sign up.

See the screenshot: It’s mentioned this is just for testing/reference purpose before the actual applying procedure.

As i said, this is what all Canada immigration agencies in India do and ask you to give 1000 rupees. Just for this time pass.

Instead, only if these immigration agencies really helped people. I mean they can say the people, you can check yourself also but this is just the starting process.

Why don’t they because, if you see this website, now you need not further read the answer as well.

You can yourself see in the website the entire procedure to apply for Canada.
NO middleman, no cheating and no money waste.

It’s a little time consuming but if you are someone who browses internet, then it’s not a big deal. Maximum one month anyone can learn how to goto Canada.

Instead what immigration agencies in India should do is talk to candidates, help them prepare them for Canada, have IELTS guidance and coaching.

Also they should search and build contacts in Canada and the people who they have sent for reference in jobs, but they want 1- 3 lacs, cheat and then cheat the next candidate.

Honestly, please at least guide. All immigration agencies at least ensure you have coaching centres to make candidates clear IELTS and then help candidate find right job. It just requires internet knowledge and some contacts.

And it doesn’t require lacs. Maximum 40 thousand, if you give service, then more candidates will come.

Anyways coming to the topic.

So now that you have tested your self whether you are eligible for applying Canada immigration. It was fun right.

Start the actual application.

It’s all here. It’s like a naukri website, just login, and try out everything yourself.
In fact see the screenshot, that itself is enough.

You will know what to do.

But remember now this is the actual application process.

Immigration and citizenship

[caption id="attachment_747" align="alignnone" width="629"] Canada work and citizenship[/caption]

Now next thing is you have to apply for a PR Card.

Apply for, renew or replace a PR card - About the process

[caption id="attachment_748" align="alignnone" width="885"] apply for Canada PR Card. This after you get your PR (Permanent Residence) status[/caption]

Permanent Residence Card costs 50$ and takes 102 days.
This is like your ID Card.

So remember first check your eligibility.

Then login, prepare all the materials like resume experience, personal data, IELTS Score and apply.

Process starts.

Then after you get the PR eligibility, apply for PR Card.

And ya, you could have searched for job from here all this while or if your budget allows you, you can go and get a job there also.

Till you get a job, you can take the risk, you can drive cab, deliver, or do some odd jobs also.

 

Meanwhile you can also search for candian job sites and apply for jobs from India.

If its a good company and you are smart you can get hired from here.

Company might help with the PR Card as well.

Any graduate with english knowledge or say someone who can undersand more than 70 percent of english movies or serials can get into Canada, that is all it requires.

Yes it easy because see thing is Canada is having less population, there government gives everything. No job means, youngsters will get stipend. So people have no desperation to survive like in India.

Yes, the world still has some places left for people who want to live peacefully without cut throat competition like here.

So you can easily get into Canada if you are from city in India or have exposure to the city culture and know a thing about how the world is in general.

That’s all it requires.

But at same time, the challenges are its a new environment. You have to be little alert, there will be people who hate you anywhere.

See i believe in India you can start from Zero and you have freedom to do anything. All you need is a chance.

In foreign things are strict unless you are really into something it is not easy for you to make it big.

However, someone a young person starting his career, or a person who is in mid career not happy with salary in India can go work there 5 to 10 years and come back to India.

Till the age of 40 anyone can easily apply.

After that unless your work experience is good and your familiar with internet, english and your job skills are in market then its tough.

Working spouse or spouse with english knowledge will always be a plus.

In short any one till age of 45 years, say around 3 + experience and familiar with English movies, serials, and comfortable to go for foreign country will get in easily in 6 months time.

Especially middle class india, the youngsters are working so hard, bound by commitments, parents struggled hard, or having huge debts are perfect.

They come out of all financial problems in 5 years and retire in 10 years.

That is enough he can get retired instead of struggling with the office politics here, worrying about job, salary etc.

So hope this helps.

Other things are like if your spouse is also working or knows english and can work in Canada. She can also apply for IELTS.

This will boost your score to go for Canada as well.

Then, good thing anyone with PR will get the same benefits as citizen of Canada except voting. Yes, you will get free medical, your kids will get free education till graduation.

Remember Permanent Citizenship is different PR status.

First you will get Permanent Residence Status in Canada. As a permanent resident, you may travel outside Canada after you arrive. However, you must meet certain residency obligations to maintain your status as a permanent resident. To meet these residency obligations, you must be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) in every 5-year

So you can stay for two years and come back to India and again to Canada. You don’t have to stay continuously.

So this is the place. Plus Indian government gives dual citizenship for Canada.
Yes, Khiladi Akki a.k.a is dual citizen. Check is wiki page. It will be showing as Canada citizen :)

So i have given both plus and i won’t say negatives, but going to Canada is not a suitable option for everyone.

In fact, if you have the option or idea to make it big here, don’t go.

Else go.

Else you can give a try and again come back.

But don’t pressure yourself to go to Canada, it’s not a big deal.

So if you were preparing for IAS, i am sorry. But now see where you heart lies.

I hope the immigration agencies in India are listening.

Please provide good service.

At least take a candidate's resume, search on Google, talk to some contacts in Canada, list out the job opportunities.

Help with IELTS is a must. Please do this.

It’s just English.

It’s not a big deal.

Then Candidates will automatically refer.

In fact, i myself am being just lazy in spite of knowing the procedure.

Only if a good consultancy could say sir these are jobs available for you.

IELTS we charge so much or I know one place, they teach and guide. Must be reasonable rates.

And procedure we will take care, you don’t have to worry about filling forms.

It is just very simple information and we charge nominal fees.

I mean India there are so many youth without guidance, fearing their survival, struggling to earn money.

Help these youths reach their potential.

Anyways, at least people who read this answer share it. Your friend might know extra information, you can also learn, both can prepare and easily enter Canada.

I know he will cheat but common, you know the procedure anyway. Go and Catch him in Canada, Kya rey saale, muje chodke chala gaya kya..

Kya re Setting Ya…

Common guys grow up..i thought this competition thing ended with my generation.

At least today’s young turks be sensible.

TRUST ME GOING TO CANADA IS EASIER THAN GETTING A JOB as SBI P.O.

Don’t worry about Upvoting.

Oops, hope the Indian Govt. is not worried about Brain Drain. I am sorry.

BTW, Canada is smart, we study here, used India’s resources but want to make your country better.

And here we are fighting and hiding information from each other.

Get the big picture, Grow or let grow.

If it was not Sachin, someone else would have been there.

If it was not Dhoni, someone else would have been there.

So you don’t have to worry if you lost in this thing, let your friend be Sachin,

you better get busy being Dhoni, or see how you can better Kohli.

There is always enough place for everyone in the world.

The options are just too many. Think guys. Forget you lost or your friend cheated you or your current situation is miserable.

And ya, need i still say how you can just google for IELTS exam and prepare.

Will hardly take 30 min.

Find a site or two. Bookmark.

Practice for 2 months by taking mock tests, hardly 1 hour a day.

There are just plenty of websites.

And keep watching STAR WARS, SCARY MOVIE,

FAMILY GUY, & ALL THE STUFF your parents warned you about.

Trust me, it helps at least the language part.

And ya don't forget to send the goodies from Canada, at least the whey protein guys..

What could I do to change 9-5 job situation in my life, which I don't like most and want do something different but my background doesn't allow me to do?

Firstly, get the picture.

You are part of a bigger picture.

There are many people like you, there plenty of people
like you in your city and in the nation.

On this earth, we are one among the countless people.

In the universe, the earth is just one planet.

Like this the larger picture is that we are all part of a bigger picture.

Now everyone of us wants to have a slice of this bigger life.

We all are searching for something or other.

And you are searching for a good life or career which you feel WILL keep you happy.

In fact, a drug addict too has the same feeling he feels that drug will make him.

Unfortunately, drugs happen to be a thing that affects our body and in the world it is considered as bad.

Imagine, like making money, doing good if drugs was also considered right in the world.

Then along with being good, earning money, doing drugs would also be ambitions of most people.

So the first thing i am trying to say is no matter what you do, you might be the best at what you are, but there will always be things, people who are better than you.

So this feeling of you looking for something will never end.

Now the question is how do you end this?

It’s very simple but as always simple things are hard to understand.

Animals are happy if it gets what it wants.

Humans that’s where it starts, even if you are the best in the world, you are somewhat having that feeling that i need to do this, do that etc.

So choice is yours, you continue doing what you do but realize that we are just a small spec in this entire universe.

It’s like Sun, Moon Stars, they are all bigger, powerful than you.

But man isn’t it boring to sit there everyday and just rise and shine.

I feel pity for the sun, stars, moon.

So that way, as human you are better.

Or you can go ahead full throttle ready to take all the risks, be there done that and change the world. But remember even after this you will get the same feel.

Or you can just say, okay i realize the truth, i will take it as nature or destiny or my surroundings bring it to me.

So its upto you. simple, yet effective.

Yes, if there is magic to life. Yes there is .

If there is no magic, yes there is no.

So choice is yours.

Don’t take life so seriously.

You lose or fail, it doesn’t really make a difference.

I mean what happens, if the entire world is just nuked after reading this answer.

So, don’t think the situation you are in is the Ultimate and everything else revolves around it. Always be a spectator, be like a movie goer who is watching the movie of his own life.

Question is how do want the movie to be?

Nobody knows the formula to make a hit movie or be successful in life and keeping in mind that okay, i will do this but i am okay if i again feel i need something more.

It’s like we bathe everyday, knowing very well we will bathe again either tomorrow or day after tomorrow or ….choice is yours.. but you will bathe again. the stink won’t go away, Realize this, be happy and do what you can do with full involvement.

One thing you can ensure is to make movie interesting. Hope you got the answer. So do you want make your life interesting, irrespective of the results. Be it a hit or a flop.

What should I do with my life when I can't see a clear goal?

Since you have asked the question, i hope you will listen to the answer and not think this is the answer you were not expecting.

Every answer is told in a certain context, so if some people are not able to find this answer helpful, its understandable.

So dont stop till you find the answer. This is the best way to find your goal in life.

There is no method to find your goal in life.

Keep on it till you reach. Sometimes goal changes or fail, so go on till you find.

The problem is not finding the goal. It is your indecisiveness or fear of failure.

Only problem in finding a goal is you have choices or you dont know to do.

First thing is you can go wrong after deciding and pursuing and even flop. Its ok. But if you tried fully you will not get that feeling of having failed. Right, think about it.

So goal is not important, it is about are you ready to do anything for that goal.

So choose a goal that your ready to do anything for it.

Now other part how to know your goal if your not able to find it.

Hope you have time, i would say choose your time. But in case you want time, choose around 90 days.

Just hold your breathe for how long you can and think what is your goal.

Now to know if its the goal, remember you can be flop, fail but as i said is it not goal that matters but are you ready to do ANYTHING FOR THAT GOAL.

Only thing you can do is to check if the goal has higher chances of success for you.

Once you get a goal, now again hold your breathe and ask is this what you want to do.

Sooner or later, you will get the answer. To confirm it do this for 90 days.

Choose the goal whichever you got in your mind for 90 days. Yes, choose the goal which you got most of the times as the thought in your mind.

Hardly takes few mins a day, just do once a day. Plus its very easy, i mean how long can you hold your breathe, maximum…

If you get two goals, start again, hold your breathe, choose one.

But do it for LONGEST PERIOD OF TIME, 90 days. You can do it for more days also to get only one answer. Sooner or later, moment you close and hold your breathe, you will get only that one goal. (If you have time) TO CONFIRM YOUR GOAL.

Dont forget, its not about goal, are you ready to lose, yes then choose that goal.

Emotional Intelligence and Your Career

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. - Maya Angelou

Ever wondered why you were not considered for the interview you went, for that foreign trip from your office, or for that all important promotion? You did all the work on time, you were punctual and you hardly took a leave. You even wished your superiors every time you crossed. What more, you even had the right qualification. And being a sensible person you probably gave yourself a huge dose of reconciliation ranging from it was not my day to a better destiny. What if these misfortunes happen on a regular basis? You have the talent, yet you are not considered.

 

All of us like smart people, but do we like smart, intelligent plus arrogant people? This where the smart quotient or the IQ takes a back seat and gives way for the EQ - Emotional Quotient. So being smart is not the only factor. To be successful in a society, especially in a corporate society, you have to be emotionally smart and learn how to deal with the society – that is the clients, colleagues, superiors, competitors etc.

 

The good thing about EQ is you do not have to go through books, write exams or score marks. It is already inbuilt in all of us. As humans one must understand that all of us are unique in our nature and there is none like us on this planet. In simple terms, Bill Gates (no offences) might be the richest in the world but even if he tries out of his skin he just cannot be like you in behaviour, attitude and persona. He might be slightly better or below par. So you already have the talent. The only thing is recognizing the talent and using it your way. So stop following the herd or the worrying about the end result.

 

Then, you have to realize what your qualities are like – your behaviour, attitude, and personality. Whether, you are a shy introvert or the extravagant extrovert or the normal ambivert. Are you the eternal happy go type or the critic who takes everything with a pinch of salt in life? What is it that motivates you? What upsets you? Basically do a soul searching about inner you.

 

So once you realize the "True You", you will know what to do the next time you go for an interview, apart from carrying your credentials. You will know if you are really enjoying the job or just doing it.

 

End of the day you might be an expert in your domain. But if you end up having emotional attyachar, then it is time to check your EQ.

Not giving up!

All of us want to taste success, yet only a few of us become successful. Off course if you are born with a certain talent or a Godfather, then being successful is an exception. But how many of us are gifted with such fortune? The question is then what do you do?

 

Well, then there are three magical words for you – “Not Giving Up”. Though these words clearly specify what they mean, they rarely get the required action from us. Just a few months back life seemed to go pretty well for most of the MNC staff. They had good jobs, fat pay and a great career ahead, until the R-day happened, the Recession had arrived.

Suddenly there were pink slips flying in the air, depleting bank balances and long queues in front of the most hated buildings– the Government and PSU offices. The Youngistan which dreamed of conquering the globe were now at the fringe of becoming desi babus.

 

Meanwhile there was a spirited bunch of yuva who were almost waiting for this disaster to happen. And boy did they come out with flying colors? The recession saw a huge spurt in the enterprenual talent, self employment opportunities and these youths were now even working from the comfort of their homes during recession. What made this people stand up when the rest fell like a pack of cards? Did they all have the raw talent? Or Godfathers to back them?

 

One thing that made all the difference was their mantra of “Not Giving Up”. Firstly the best thing about ‘Not giving up’ is you do not need any special talent or a Godfather to put it into action. You have to identify the problems or the obstacles that are in your way of getting up. Ask yourself, “Why do you feel down and depressed towards a certain situations”? Worry is a good thing. Worry shows that there is something which is not right. So do not give up, just go ahead and find the reason why you are worried? Worry becomes a problem if you just worry and do nothing about it.

 

Now that you know why you are down, make an action plan. Once you have made a mental plan, put it into action.

 

On the other hand some of us set goals, may be you even started doing great but then the usual trouble of keeping up the momentum crept in. In this case identify what your major goals are; do you really want that goal? Never set goals for the sake of rewards. The outcome is not in your hands. Instead, you must be passionate about your goal and must be willing to go to any lengths. As they say, “If you do not know what you are living for? Find something to die for.”

 

Lastly, it is good to be mad about something in life but you must realize that life always comes out with unexpected twists and turns. So to be on the safer side, have a ‘realistic’ mindset on what is really possible under the present circumstances. We often give up on our goals because they are beyond our capabilities. It is best to have a goal that fully utilizes our capabilities then going for a goal that is unrealistic and extravagant. Part of ‘Not Giving Up’ lies in having reasonable goals and the possibility of achieving it.

 

Finally all said and done, you must always be ready to expect the unexpected. You must constantly review your goals, plans and see where you are heading and then make changes accordingly. Not giving up is not all about getting up after every fall. It is about thinking why you fall and how to prevent the next fall…

Be Obsessed About Your Career

Everything in life has an obsession tag to it. Take for example: a simple food chain. The sunlight helps the grass to grow, the grass feeds the deer, and the carnivores eat the deer. At the end of the day the lion hunts at any cost and the deer knowing its life is in danger, it still goes out to graze every time it feels hungry, such is their obsession for survival. If mere animals can show such high obsession for a basic instinct such as survival, what about our careers that determine the course of our lives?

 

Similarly have an obsession why you are doing a job? It could be for fame, money or your inner satisfaction. Ask yourself are you committed to do anything to achieve that goal. Never join a job because it is a good company, it is a good source of income or your dad said so. Yes they might advice for your good, but what if the organization shuts down, or the job loses its sheen.

 

Your choice of career must be a necessity to you. You must be obsessed about it as you go about your daily chores and yet feel no remorse.

 

The word ‘work’ itself is some what heavy. We sometimes get bored to do work but never get bored to eat and sleep. We never feel them as burden. So never consider work as an additional part of your life because it is anyway inevitable. You might as well binge on the work you do. At least it is not going to cause you any indigestion.

 

The good thing about obsession is that you are totally fixated on something to the exclusion of everything else. So the best part about being obsessed about your career is a guarantee that you will never feel the burn out or the burden about your career. So be obsessed about your career, you will do anything for it. But there is a flip side to obsession. Obsession is good only if it is in moderation. In fact as the old saying goes “Too much of anything is a bad thing”.

 

As human beings it is quiet possible for all of us to have some kind of obsession and so what if you could not to be a cricket player because of the corrupt system or the risks involved? But who ever stopped you from being a cricket commentator on TV, radio or the web. You could even be a referee, fitness trainer or a coach. Obsession must not lead to desperation at any cost.

Remember: The lion never hunts unnecessarily or the deer never binges on the grass.

Does Training help?

Some things are easy to us; we could almost do it with closed eyes. While there are things that are far out of our reach and we hardly manage to pull it off even with our full concentration. Why does this happen? There can only be two reasons – one your own attitude towards the task ahead of you or either you have not figured how to do it?

The former is not a problem, you can build your attitude in no time at all, but sometimes a ‘Never say die spirit’ is not enough to make a dead man come alive. Instead if you were really possessed to get a dead man alive, you would have ‘trained’ to become a doctor and then once you know the tricks of the trade, you never know you could have made a dead man alive.

Similarly there are instances in our careers that require us to have some assistance that is training. One might attend all the flying classes and learn all the theory of becoming a pilot and score high grades but there is a world of difference in actually training to fly and learning the theory of flying. Learning does not make one perfect, only practice makes a man perfect.

So if your natural talents and qualifications are not getting you in the right places then training is the way to go. Based on the nature of your job, training can be classified into two types.

• Off the job training


• On the job training

For example to be a journalist you compulsorily do not need a formal education, that is not say that education or theory does not help. The theory will only give you an extra edge but to be a successful journalist you need to have the hands on experience of all the situations a journalist goes through in his career. So if you want be a media person, make sure you get an internship opportunity or some sort of prior experience before your actual job. Also media organizations can afford to give all their newbies a ‘on the job training’ as it does not incur too much cost.

While in some cases you yourself have to find a suitable training opportunity, like in the case of a new trend or technology in your job domain which is entirely different from what you did all these years. Also some jobs cannot risk ‘on the job training’ due to various constraints like the risks involved or the cost factors. You do not want to just study jewellery designing and then apply for a job without any prior trial and error experience.

Also the confidence of having experienced similar situation during your training goes a long way in your actual job performance and significantly reduces the chances of mistakes. In today’s fast paced world where novelity is the name of the game, where things change drastically, where today’s technology is tomorrow’s archive – Training does help.
