Ans: Thank you for sharing your career dilemma to me. It's understandable to feel uncertain about your future career path, especially when you haven't identified specific skills or passions yet. Consider gaining practical experience through internships, part-time jobs, or volunteer work in fields you're interested in exploring further. Internships can provide valuable insights into different industries, help you develop new skills, and expand your professional network. Invest in your personal and professional development by taking courses, workshops, or online tutorials to develop new skills or explore new interests. Look for opportunities to develop skills in areas like digital marketing, data analysis, project management, or communication, which are in demand across various industries. Reach out to professionals, alumni, or experts in fields you're curious about to learn more about their career paths and experiences. Networking can provide valuable insights, advice, and potential opportunities for job shadowing, informational interviews, or mentorship. Remember that it's okay to feel uncertain or undecided about your career path at this stage. Take the time to explore your options, try new things mentioned above, and trust that with self-reflection, exploration, and perseverance, you'll eventually find a career path that aligns with your interests, values, and aspirations.

Hello sir , i have done my graduation in bba in 2023 last year ,and throughly prepare for cat from 2nd year and give it in the 3rd year (2022)but i am not able to clear it and then after this i again prepare and give in 2023 but still not able to clear it but my friends cleared the old iims ,i am feeling worthless and like life comes to an end ... Q) is it true that ones who goes to only iims do great in their life?? Q)i also have a plan to pursue entrepreneurship in long term but didn't have the idea do you have any tips for how to start it ?back in my mind i feel that i must have to try any idea for startup so that in deathbed ,i didn't feel regret...
Ans: Hello,
I understand that not clearing CAT exams and seeing your friends enter prestigious institutions might be disheartening. Still, it's essential to remember that success in life is not solely determined by attending certain institutions. Define your success on personal terms. Success in life is diverse, and IIM attendance doesn't guarantee it. Many successful individuals have achieved great heights without an IIM background. Still, you can consider exploring the online courses and certifications IIMs offers if you want to carry the same IIM alum tag. These certifications are meant for working professionals to enhance their skills and contribute to their professional growth. Success is subjective and can be defined in various ways. Focus on your strengths, passions, and personal goals rather than comparing yourself to others.

Take calculated risks, learn from setbacks, and remember that exploring opportunities and shaping your unique path is always possible. Pursuing entrepreneurship is a commendable goal, but starting a business requires careful planning and execution. Here are some tips to get started:

1. Choose a business idea that aligns with your skills and passion.
2. Understand the market, target audience, and competition for your chosen business.
3. Outline your business goals, strategies, and financial projections.
4. Connect with mentors, attend entrepreneurship events, and learn from successful entrepreneurs.

It's natural to feel a sense of urgency, especially when considering entrepreneurship. However, rushing into a venture without proper planning can lead to challenges. What I have learned in my life is that all of us have a unique journey, and setbacks do not define our worth. Focus on your strengths, passions, and long-term goals. If entrepreneurship is your dream, take small steps, gather knowledge, and gradually work towards your vision.

Ans: It sounds like you're facing a lot of pressure and frustration regarding your career and future direction. It's understandable to feel overwhelmed when dealing with family expectations, job dissatisfaction, and uncertainty about your career path. Here are some suggestions to help you navigate this challenging situation in the future. Have open and honest conversations with your family about your feelings, aspirations, and concerns regarding your career. Express your need for support and understanding as you navigate your career journey. Explain your reasons for considering government job preparation or entrepreneurship, and discuss how your family can support you in pursuing your goals. Once you've clarified your goals and explored your options, take proactive steps to move forward. This may involve updating your resume, researching government job requirements, or developing a business plan for your entrepreneurial venture. Break down your goals into smaller, manageable steps and take consistent action towards achieving them. Remember that progress takes time, and setbacks are a natural part of the journey. It's essential to prioritize your well-being and mental health during this challenging time. Take time for self-care activities that help you relax, recharge, and maintain balance in your life. Seek support from friends, family, or mental health professionals if you're feeling overwhelmed or struggling to cope with stress. Research different career paths, including government job opportunities, entrepreneurship, and other alternatives. Consider the pros and cons of each option, as well as the potential challenges and opportunities they present.

Remember that your career journey is unique to you, and it's okay to explore different paths and make changes along the way. Trust yourself to make decisions that align with your values, aspirations, and well-being. With persistence, self-reflection, and support from others, you can navigate through this challenging period and find fulfillment in your career and life.

Relationship
Dear LG, Please keep this anonymous. I have been married since 6 years. However, since past 5+ years we have not been intimate. We haave a 5&1/2 year kid. Since his birth we have had a lot of differences and his family interference was lot leaving me alone and wounded. I don't stay with my husband and in-laws since then. I had made up that work is worship. But 2 years back I met a colleague. He is 10 years younger to me and we have extremely similar vibes. We enjoy each other's company and cared a lot. Eventually i fell in love with him. But he always knew he wont be able to go against his family. We also had relationship. Now he has strated looking for girls and wants us to stop being intimate. He is saying he wants to be friends and not loose me but not have relationship. We both work together in same space and our area of work is also same. I am unable to forgive my husband and forget this person. He never goes away. He is always there telling that I want to see you happy. He needs me for professional development. And i am not able to loose our relationship. He says physical intimacy only I cant have remaining Im there. Then again says I don’t know when I will be there so I am unable to give assurance or promise. I am tormented with a child, work and my health is getting affected. Can you please help?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,

I am sorry that you are in such a tough spot. My advice would be to move on. Yes, I realize that it is easier said than done but let's put things into perspective- first, you have no future with this man, and he has made it clear. Are you okay to keep hanging on to him while he builds his own life? I am assuming no, especially since you have a child. Second, what about your self-respect? He is directly telling you that this relationship is headed toward a dead end. Do you believe you deserve to be with someone who does not want to settle down with you? I believe you deserve better.

I am not blaming him because he made no promises. You are not to be held guilty either because you were in a tough spot and you grabbed the first emotional support you found. But the current reality is that he wants out. And convincing him to stay is not an option. At this point, moving on with your head held high is the best decision. If you want to accept his friendship, that is completely fine. But if that's too much for you, you can always decline it. I understand that working in the same space with an ex is difficult, but as long as you avoid interacting outside of the office and keep things professional, there should not be an issue. On the emotional front, I won't lie, it will hurt for a while. But this too shall pass. I strongly recommend you not to value yourself so low that you stop believing that you deserve a person who loves you back as much as you love him.

Best Wishes.
